SOoooo Curious

2010-03-12T15:37:00.000-08:00

So I am super duper curious this pregnancy about what I will have!
I'm not for sure why cause with Jay I was not at all! But on Wednesday I talked Cedric into going up to Walgreen's with me to purchase a $30 gender test! Yes! $30 for a test that has like zero percent guarantee but I just had too! so I woke up at 4:00am on Thursday morning to pee into a cup and do a little science experiment. Guess what it said?? BOY! But we find out for real on April 12th. Can't wait!

Happy V-Day!

Cedric surprised us and flew home for the weekend so we took Jay to the zoo and I planned on making a yummy steak dinner that night. But instead of having our romantic dinner we all went to bed sick! I think we got food poisoning from the zoo! :(
My Friend just opened up the cutest photography studio right near us and so we took advantage and went and got Jayvia's pictures taken. They turned out so cute!

D.C Trip

2010-03-12T15:02:00.000-08:00

We LOVED D.C. but it was FREEZING!
I am so not used to that kind of weather anymore!
We stayed at a very nice hotel just out of the city and Jayvia loved the huge escalator. She made daddy take her up and down like 10 times. The first day we went on the subway into the city and spent all day there. We seen Arlington field and changing of the guard (my fav), The White House and of course all the amazing monuments. That night we had dinner at Grand Central Station. The second day we went to Georgetown which I loved! It was so cute and all the streets we cobblestone and there is just so much history there. We ate at the famous Bens Chili Bowl and then headed back to VA.

BIG News!

2010-03-12T14:51:00.000-08:00

Jay and I went to visit Cedric in January, he is at a Military University on Ft. Lee in Richmond Virginia. So after a very long flight, canceled connection and long layover we finally got to Richmond. We picked up the rental car and headed to base. As soon as we got there we had BIG news to share so I quickly changed Jayvia's shirt and we walked into the hotel to meet daddy.
He was so excited and instantly said so we are going to name HIM...

Christmas!

2010-03-12T14:26:00.000-08:00

This Christmas was so much fun!
Cedric was able to come home from military training in Virginia and we started off by decorating the house and buying our first FAKE tree! Yes, I got a fake one this year because in Texas the real ones just don't last long... so we started that morning and worked on our cute tree that night. Jayvia loved all the lights and taking off all the "balls" as she called them after mom hung them on the tree. I have made it a tradition to hold our family Christmas party on Christmas eve and it is always so much fun! We had so much good food to eat, tracked Santa om T.V. and had our first annual gingerbread house contest. All the kids had a blast until Cedric was so worried about the mess and made them go out into the cold garage and eat them right after. He'll know better for our next go round.

Christmas morning was the best! Jayvia woke up and walked out of her room with a huge smile on her face. Santa brought her a mini barbie bug and she jumped right into it saying Go- Go! I think she stayed in that car all day long :)

JayVia's first Birthday!!

We had such a fun day at Dewberry farms! Besides the 3 million people there, they had so many fun things to do for the kids. We took a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and of course Jayvia wanted to WALK through all the dirt :)

It's official. We have to strap on the Nike's and start baby proofing the house. Jay is everywhere now! It is so funny to watch her waddle all over the place and she is getting faster and faster everyday!

Hey Peeps!

We have had so much fun this summer. Me and Jay finally were able to come to visit Utah and I took her to the fair! she loved all the animals and all the friends she got to play with. I was so sad to leave. time goes by way to fast while I am there. Cedric and I went to Vegas to celebrate is big 30th birthday and Jayvia got to stay at grandmas while we headed to Mexico! Jayvia is growing so fast. She talks lots and says mama, dada, dog, uh oh, apple and a whole bunch of gibberish :) She is taking steps and getting into all the cuboards. I can not believe she is almost 1!!

it brings back so many fun memories, and it totally makes me miss our little fair.

Houston has the largest livestock show and Rodeo ever!! It lasts the whole month of March and we always have big concerts like Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Brad etc. Anyways, we usually try to go a couple times during the month and it is sooo fun!! We took lil Jayvia to see all the little animals here is a few pics of her...

HELLO!!

2009-03-10T12:01:00.000-07:00

Hi Yall - We are back in action.
I started back to work, and it has been so hard to get back on some free time. When I am home I want to play with Jay or just be brain dead for a minute. My lil jay is growing so fast! She is 4 months now and is getting cuter by the day. She is trying to sit up, playing in her jumper and is so very observant. She is getting such a cute personality and smiles so big. We just went to Utah and had a play date with some girl friends and cute babies. Everyone has boys but Texie so I guess Jayvia is just going to hang with the boys when we come to visit.

You gotta love the junk in the trunk :)

She sat in her bumbo today!! Can you believe it!! She is getting sooo BIG :)

I just need photoshop!

2008-11-29T14:25:00.003-08:00

We went to go get lil miss Jayvia's pictures taken a few weeks ago and she was not haven it. I have been searching for someone that I like and finally I went to a holiday boutique and found this great girl. The photographer took us to a park and it was so cold and i had to wake Jay up from her sleep to lay with just a diaper on a very uncomfortable bridge... Anyways I was so afraid I was not going to get any good ones so I snaped a few when we got home. But now every one of them has my finger or the camera cord in the back ground or she is all red :) I guess I just need to invest in photoshop?

Well...little miss Jay found out how to pull her binky out so now we play a little game all night. I put the binky in her mouth and she wiggles around and pulls it out and then cry's so I go and put it back in and she pulls it out. This will repeat until I end up holding it in her mouth so she can fall asleep. Oh so fun for me :)

It is so crazy as you grow older get married and become a mom that everything in life has a whole different meaning. This thanksgiving I have really pondered about all the great blessing that I have in my life. I am so thankful for my heathly baby girl, my cute husband that I love more than life, my wonderful family and all my fab friends that I miss so much. I am so greatful of God and the wonderful life that we has brought to us.

We LOVED that Granie got to come and visit.
I have found such a great appreciation for my m0m. (not that I did not appreciate her before)but everyone always says you will need your mom so much more when you have your own kids and man is is true! Mom and Janica came in a few days before sweet Jayvia got here and then stayed a week to help. She cooked and cleaned and kissed Jayvia's face off :) Ced even thought she was gtetting the baby zits from to many granie kisses - I hope we can get to utah soon!
love ya mom

I'M ObSSeSSed!

2008-11-12T14:26:00.000-08:00

I am totally baby jay crazy! I can not stop staring at my cute little Jayvia! I love to kiss her juicy lips and smell her sweet baby breath. I am seriously so very blessed. God has given me the greatest gift. I feel like this is what I have waited for my whole life. Being a mom is the best thing ever! Me and Ced took her to her first doctor appt today for our 6 day check-up. This is the first time I dressed her in something besides her onesie and a swaddler blanket (aka- my burrito baby) Thanks Janica for the cute outfit.

Our sweet little jay love is so chubby!
We went to the doc on Tuesday and she told us that cute Jayvia was 5lbs 6oz. What to do? I still have many weeks to go. When the ultra sound gal was measuring her she kept saying- oh my, you are going to have a big baby (which totally did not make me feel better about the whole labor thing) the doc said she will probley be about 9lbs! I guess I should start preparing for the pain. She has the biggest cheeks and some major soup coolers (that is what Ced’s family calls big lips) ha! Just like her pops :) it is only 2D so I hope you can see. We can’t wait for her to get here!

Yup! It happened - FINALLY!

Okay so, those of you who know my hubby he LOVES his Cadi's and I love Escalades. Well Cedric has had many cadi's but all cars never any SUV's! So since marriage I have been promised my Escalade. But then we moved like a hundred times, then finally got a house, so we kept saving and saving and pushing it back. BUT! Finally 4 years later! I got my Escalade :) Which could not have happened at a better time because they are practically giving them away right now because of the gas prices. So her it is my sweet family wagon! Now I can carry all the kids and strollers too!

Okay so - I know that most of you know what I am talking about. I am now almost 30 weeks and man has it hit me! I am getting fat, uncomfortable and my nose! It is soo swollen! I am getting cankles (is that how you spell it?) I can’t sleep, I can’t bend over and I am sooo HOT! Oh! And I am starting to have “the dreams” you know the crazy ones that she is born and is like a three year old, or she has something wrong with her, or even just seeing a baby and trying to figure out what or who she looks like. It makes you totally crazy! BUT – I am getting so excited! We are getting here room painted today (so pic’s soon to come) I just can not believe that what we have waited for - for so long is almost here – it totally makes me cry!

We went back to Utah for a week and had so much fun! It was cedric's first time at our big family reunion - Camp Beaver. Cedric loved the mountains and all my crazy family :)
I missed all the memories and did not want to come back.

Amy threw me the best shower ever!
It was outside on her moms patio which I love! Covered with flower baskets, pink linens and bows. We had so much yummy food catered from Union Grill, cake, candy bags, great drinks and most of all - my favorite girls!
It was soooo fun! I can not thank Amy enough - I really felt like a princess for a day :)
