Weekend Roundup: The Worst Cold Edition

Last week whipped us...we all got a really bad cold(EXCEPT FOR OUR BELLA) and thank God we are all better.  We snuggled this weekend and just focused on getting better.

Bella took care of us all

This lil guy enjoyed his first cone

We kept our weekend very relaxing and comfy to help us all mend...this is the entire brood CATFACE...watching the Premire of PUSS IN BOOTS.

All the boogies in the face and hair tramatized me and we had to give this lil guy a tiny bang trim.

Bella and I had our own lil Oscars Party where we nibbled on honey and goat cheese crustinis and sipped on bubbly...seltzer water bubbly..

We wore our gowns...and made acceptance speeches whenever our choices would win...I guessed only 1 right...Bella swept it up though!

And thank God this lil guy is all better...his smile is back!!!

My 6 month Anniversary at Peter's Landing

I can't believe it has already been 6 months since I became a vendor at The Peter's Landing Art Show...time whized by.  I have LOVED my time there...perfect hours...perfect weather...nice people...talented fellow artists...close to home...and BEST OF ALL...it has helped a lot to keep mommy home to raise all of our babies!  I am so grateful every single day that I'm married to such a hard working man that understands the importance of keeping me at home with our babies...because to me it means the world.  Everytime I feed Mateo a warm meal...or kiss his boo boos when he falls...or am able to snuggle him when he is a sicky...I can't imagine leaving him.

So thank you to my lil family for being such a great team..we are blessed.

And come on down and join me this beautiful Saturday morning from 9am til 2pm. We now have a petting zoo and pony rides...we also have live music...YUMMY food..and great artists!  Not to mention your STYLE BANDIT has some new super chic pieces!

Love is...

Love is....just barely crawling out of NASEUA PLAUGED 3 months just in time for half of my family (including me PREGNANT...and our lil 1 year old bunny...and my big "asthma" boy) being slammed by pnemonia...and to make things really great I discovered a cracked tooth today...called my dentist only to refuse his services because he says I need to start with an xray and while there is a bun in my oven I WILL NOT do that...I would rather die of pain for 6 more months! :(...but like I said...Love is dealing with all of this and still feeling so grateful for the life I have and the love I have been blessed with.  My sweet Jamas taking care of all of us...I am so lucky to have such an amazing man!

Our Blueberry....12 weeks.

It has been a rocky 3 months in this first trimester....I always forget how YUCKY it is to be knee deep in nausea, dizziness, fatigue and every other ailment that the baby Gods bestow upon me when I am pregnant....but I will take it happily in exchange for a healthy lil baby in my arms.  I am slowly creeping out of the yuckiness and into the GREAT trimester where I feel better...AND I am still a size that I can freely manuever....because come Trimester 3...I become quite LARGE! :)  My bump is very happy and showing off....and dressing it has been fun.

                                                                         This Week
Craving blueberry muffins, cool ranch munchies, and fresh fruit.
We saw him/her and they were already so adorable....moving around and showing off..their lil toes and fingers clear as day...it never ceases to amaze me the beauty that is pregnancy..a lil somebody growing inside my tummy...eyelids, cheeks..their cute lil tushies all forming and baking in the oven.


I love you baby #4...we have decided on what your name will be...and we can't to hold and kiss you.

My Valentines

I have never been a fan of Valentine's Day...because it is a corporate day...a day where we are being marketed to go pay for overpriced flowers and a caseload of calories.  No...I'm not being a bah-hum-bug...I just feel that love should be 365 days out of the year...I love that my husband makes me feel special every single day and I don't have to countdown to a tuesday evening and wait 2 hours to be seated at the local Cheescake Factory.  I love hard...and am loved hard...and we do it all year long!  With that said..I did LOVE when i was a kid to make our paper mail boxes at school and stratigically delagate each Valentine to a specific classmate...so cute!  So I do and will continue to celebrate this Hallmark inspired day for my babies...these are my Valentines (sorry baby...I love you too...but today I treat our babies).

Love in my heart...anger on my mind.

I really like to keep it positive on this blog...and every now and then I will possibly slip up and rant a bit...I dont think I have yet...but it just might happen.  This week I have had a hard time seeing the good in somethings...and maybe it's my fault for watching the news every morning but it is just disgusting to know what exsists out there in our world.  All I know is that when it comes to my kids...I will protect them at all costs...I am a good person...BUT...if anyone ever laid their hands on one of my kids...I gaurantee you will see my face on the 11 oclock news.  I CANNOT and will not elaborate any further on this weeks news topics because then you will see a lot of profanity...let me just take a deep breath...close my eyes..and remember the beauty and happiness that is my life...my 4 angels..that are very well protected by My Jamas, Big John, and moi!

HAPPINESS IS.....

Natural Born Performer

This kid is something else....no fear...no akwardness...total confidence....DOES NOT SKIP A BEAT!

Last night he rocked the heck out of the House of Blues...the same kid that kisses the baby in my tummy about 1 million times a day....is the baddest lil rocker ever on stage!!!!  Like James said today...he has a HEAD OF METAL and A HEART OF GOLD!!!!!

Great show....with even greater support...his "roadie" dad right by his side, uncle Joe, Aunt Theresa...his Nana, drum teacher, buddy aaron, and his Aunt Sandra and Uncle Wes all came out to cheer him on and it was great to see big smiles on all their faces!
