We are so lucky to be AJ's Mommy and Daddy!

I just think we are the luckiest people in the world that we were chosen to be this little boy's mommy and daddy!  We really and truly couldn't live without him!  We love you son! 

It's beginning to look like Christmas around here!

AJ's very first Holiday Program

AJ was in his very first Holiday program at his daycare school last week! His class performed Jingle Bells!  It was very cute! 

Here is the video that I shot of him and Gilbert.  

Early Christmas for Us!

Well Christmas came a little early this year for the three of us! We got a new TV finally, thanks to Gilberts Bonus from work! They delivered it last Saturday & then Sunday morning I came down and found Gilbert and AJ in AWE of how Mickey Mouse and the gang looked in High Def on a 46 inch LCD flat screen!  I could hardly pull them away from it that day! I have to admit, I love to look at Brad Pitt and Joaquin Phoenix 

on it too!

Thankful

Thanksgiving is a day to be thankful, and I am so very thankful for the life that I have, I have a wonderful loving husband, a sweet son, a nice house and a good job.  This is my second Thanksgiving as a mother and I still can't believe that it is true, I still think that I am going to wake up from a dream.  Jesus has truly blessed me/us with everything that we have and with AJ.  

AJ and his new toy!

Well AJ got a new last Saturday and boy let me tell you this child loves loves loves this new toy!  He literally does not put it down.  He has played with it non-stop since he got it.  I found it at KMart and it turns out that they have one at his daycare school and that is why he loves it so much.  

Here he is with it, the best $10 toy I have ever bought him!

AJ and his new Elmo Chair

My heart just overflows with love for my son, I think sometimes it could just burst! I thank God for him each and everyday and I just can't believe how fast he is growing. It seems like just yesterday he was a little baby still, now he is already 15 months old and is such a little character. He is so full of life and personality. 

He loves to sit on the floor and read books. We read them to him and often times he will go to his book bin and pull out a book and then sit on the floor and start reading it.  So I have been saying to Gilbert we need to get Hito a little chair or bean bag or something, because he isn't tall enough to crawl up onto the couch yet. So this morning when I was at WalMart I saw this cute Elmo chair and I thought it was perfect for him.  As soon as I got home and he seen it, he started talking up a storm about it, he was sitting in his high chair at the time eating his oatmeal and my goodness when he was done he practically leaped out it!  As soon as he was cleaned up he went straight for hi book bin, grabbed a book and headed for the chair.  It was so cute to see him take a seat and look at his book.


                             

Look out Disney World here we come....well not for 11 months, but were on our way!

Yippee, we received cool news this week!  We are planning a big vacation to Orlando for next October for a whole week! A friend of mine is letting us take his timeshare that is right outside of Disney World and we got the week we wanted! It is at the Vistana Resort, and it sure looks pretty!  AJ will already be 2 years old and should enjoy it alot. And it will be right before Halloween, so Disney  World will be all dressed up for that, so it should be fun.  It will also be fun to go to the beach and other places like Universal Studios, Sea World and Epcot.  We are really looking forward to it! 

Can't Wait to see this movie next spring!!!!

History has been made! And He will be Amazing!

I am so proud to be an American today! I feel hopeful for tomorrow for the future of my family, for my son's life, for everyones life!  President Obama will make change, it won't happen overnight, it will take time, but he will along with the senate and the house controlled by Democrats, and America we will CHANGE this country for the better!  America should be proud. 

Raised a Democrat and raising a Democrat!

Despite being sick with double ear infections today, right now AJ is feeling okay.  He had a looong nap this morning, and finally wanted to eat lunch. Thank you Lord, I was beginning to worry about him not wanting to eat.  My poor little hito, he may have to have tubes for his ears.  We will see a specialist on the 25th.  Well here he is in his Future Democrat shirt that I bought him at the DNC in August.  There are three things about my family, we were raised to be Democrats and Catholics! And of course I believe in both. You know I have never ever even thought of switching parties.  As a matter of fact, I have never even dated a republican or a non-catholic.  Well, I have to get back to AJ, he is needing me.   

I am praying like millions of others that Senator Obama will be our President.  We need change!  We need this country turned around from where it is.  

Fall Color at Our House

The tree in our front yard is so pretty and is the leaves are just piling up! We are have these bushes that are pretty too! 

Happy Halloween to My Little Superman!

    Here was AJ with his Auntie JoAnn
      And with Daddy

Starting to shop for Christmas!

Here is something I found and ordered for AJ: 

He will love it!  And it will go in his new play room upstairs, next to his room. 

Too Cute!!!

Okay these eating utensils and they are tooo cute and totally boy!  I have to order these for AJ!  I found them on them 

www.flyingpeas.com.  I think AJ and Gilbert are going to love them.  I have to see what else I can order from there.   

Movie to see in December!

This one looks pretty good!  I am not a huge fan of Will Smith, but he sure can make good movies. 

Yes We Can! Obama for President!

Gilbert and I completed our Mail In Ballots tonight!  We are true diehard Democrats. Our prayers are being said, that Senator Obama will be elected President of the United States on November 4th, 2008 and that history will be made.  The color of his skin should not matter, what matters is his intelligence, his dedication to this country and his hope to change this country for the better.  He has shown to little minority children that YES they can be whatever they want to be someday...that they too can inspire to be Senators and maybe one day they too can inspire to be the PRESIDENT of the USA! This man is for the working people, he is not just for corporate rich america!  He knows what is like to live pay check to pay check like most americans.  He is inspirational, God willing he becomes the President, I truly believe HE will become the one of the greatest Presidents of our lifetime.  

Daddy will like this!

I just ordered AJ this:  

Gilbert is a HUGE NYG fan and of course was thrilled when they won the superbowl last year!  I remember he had to contain himself because AJ was sleeping in his swing!  Anyway, I will surprise him with this!  Then AJ and him can sit and wear NYG gear and watch them on TV!  Gilbert has proclaimed his son will NEVER be a Bronco fan! 

I have to confess!

So I have to confess, I am obsessed with reading strangers blogs now! Isn't that weird??!!! I just hit that "next blog" button at the top and find blogs that look interesting and wham...I am read some of it and think..either this person is kinda interesting or holy smokes this person is freak!   Maybe I am the freak..reading strangers blogs....or do other people do this too???

The Disappearing Toys

Well lately toys have been disappearing and Gilbert and I started noticing that they were missing. We didn't think much of it at first figuring AJ just carried them to another part of them house and left them there. One in particular toy I noticed I hadn't seen him with in long while was this really cute Elmo radio that he got for his birthday (see pic). So I asked him, "hito, where is your little radio?" and of course he didn't answer me...he is only 1 years old!  I kept asking him for several days and finally I decided to show him a picture of it on the computer that I printed out and oh my gosh..my son is a genius....he pointed to the trash can!!!! He threw it away!!!  Here is a pic of a little girl with that little radio!!  Now I need to find another one!!

AJ at the Dr today

Good news!!  AJ went to the Doctor for his follow up to his last visit from 10 days ago when I took him for that awful stomach virus and to have his right ear re-checked.  His ear infection is all gone!! Woohoo!!! Poor AJ though, he really really hates it when the Doc looks in his ears!  At least today, Gilbert was able to meet us at the doc's office!  And other great news is that He even gained weight!  WOOOHOO!!! So the little guy is feeling good right now, lets pray he stays that way for as long as possible!  Thank you Lord, for healing my son!

New Shoes!!!

Well AJ got new shoes on Sunday to replace the one(s) I lost! Actually he got more than just one new pair of shoes, he got two new pair of Stride Rite shoes! He also got 4 new shirts and a pair of pants from the Carter's store and he also got two shirts, a pair a pants, and a winter hat and gloves from the Osh Kosh store.  Boy he made out! Here he is one with of his new pair of shoes on: 

This picture makes his feet look huge, but they are really small. Although, he has one foot bigger than the other. The lady at the store said that is pretty common. Hmmm, I wonder.  

I am having weird dreams!

Maybe it was my migraine medication or maybe it was that I was doing laundry last night, but I actually had a dream about these:  

Yes, I did have a dream about a washer and dryer...but not just any washer and dryer though!  These are my "top of the line" ones! Oh I can't wait till my washer and dryer die, so I can go and buy these!  The other day the knob broke on the dryer and until I can order a replacement one, we have been using a wrench to turn the thingy to the right setting, well I have trouble doing this. So I was complaining about it and every time I have to start a new dryer load I sweetly call for Gilbert to come do it and of course he doesn't mind doing but...he says to me...we just should go buy those front load ones you have been dreaming about!  Well folks, I would love love to go them, but I can't honestly run out and buy these dream washer and dryer just because the knob broke, it's not like I NEED these awesome pair...I just want them.  So until the less expensive pair that I have had since we bought our house 6 years ago die, I will keep using them and appreciate them till then! 

Here is cute movie coming soon!

AJ's First Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

Today AJ and I went to the Berry Patch Pumpkin Farm today.  We had alot of fun. We saw a chubby pig run around and AJ got to pet him, he wasn't afraid of him at all!  We also picked out a great pumpkin for him, that Gilbert and him can carve tomorrow (I will post that picture later).  There was music and hay rides and we ate pumpkin bread, yummy good!  Oh and AJ even got see turkeys right up close! Gilbert had to attend a Plumber's Conference this morning so he couldn't go with us, but that gives us an excuse to hit another pumpkin patch next week!  Me and my little sweetie had a good time! We missed Daddy, but I sure enjoy when I get to spend time with our Son. I feel so blessed! I waited all my adult life for this and it is wonderful being a Mommy! I love it more than anything else!
