How many months left????

Whoever says that being a stay at home mom esp when your hubby is gone is easy...well they have lost their minds and most of the time I think Im about to lose mine!!!! The girls have adjusted a lot better to having daddy gone but that doesnt stop the constant messes and mounds of toys all over the place!!! They have been swimming almost everyday and though it wears them out they still are going to bed really late and not taking naps!!! Today they swam and then decided they wanted a bubble bath....fine, ok, whatever! Well I guess Lulu decided she had swam with the girls and now she needed a bubble bath too so i had to quickly grab the camera to prove these stories are indeed real!!! Lulu thanks to Kimber-her lil rat terrier friend has learned how to get out of the yard and we have a barbed wire fence and a huge field and goats behind out house. Yesterday she got out 3 times so the last time she decided she needed to

romp in the field so I had to left Bella over the barbed wire fence and have her go chase Lulu...well she had on flip flops and 2 steps into going to get Lulu she stepped in cactus....well good thing she only got 2 small slivers in her foot and the dog came back with some coaxing of treats but Lulu had to climb through the fence and I had to left Bella over and in the process ripped my shirt!!!! On the other side of things Bella made this adorable picture of our family including the new baby!!!! How many months left?????

December 19, 2008

Well we finally have a due date....Dec 19, 2008!!! Just in time for Xmas!!! Here are the first photos of this new lil one!!! These were taken at 13 wks 3 days and I am 14 wks 2 days as of today! Still sick and still tired!!! I am thinking girl and everyone else except my dad thinks boy!!!

Bella Bday!!!

Bella is now 5 years old!!! June 20 was her birthday and we had qiute the weekend!!! On Wednesday night Grandma Cordova(as she calls her other wise known as my mom) and cousin Mia came to visit. On Thursday we all drove down to San Antonio. We went swimming the first night and had a blast. Elena learned how to jump in from the side of the swim pool!!! She is still quite the WILD ONE!!! On Friday we went to Sea World and though it was a VERY HOT and HUMID 105 degrees we had a great time. We had front row seats at the Shamu show and somehow still avoided getting splashed! I also had a very big suprise for Bella.....dinner with Shamu!!! We were able to have dinner right next to the Killer Whale tanks and interact with the trainers and see a few tricks and learn a few things about them!!! I think she was suprised, excited and a lil overwhelmed not to mention tired and hot!!!! On Friday night Gma took all the kids swimming while I stayed in bed with a headache and waiting for Toms call. On Saturday we went down to the Riverwalk and the Alamo. We ate lunch at a great Mexican food place and went on the boat ride tour around the river!!!! Its one of Bellas favorite things to do when we go to San Antonio!!!! It was a GREAT weekned!!! Next up......getting ready for Kindergarten!!!!
