It's been quite a while since I've last blogged! Have you missed me? :)
Oh my, where to start?
My Ella Bear is growing up way too fast. Has it really been almost 4 months? Her little personality is showing up in new ways every day. Ella loves people. She is perfectly content to sit in your lap and carry on a conversation with baby coos and sweet gummy smiles. She hates being alone (unless it's naptime) and doesn't seem to like her carseat very much as of recently. She loves her brother. My heart melts to mush when I hear Aaron walk up to her and say in a high-pitched-love-voice, "Hiiii Sugar Bear!" Ella returns his affection with a big smile and occasional giggle.
Aaron. Oh my. He has become quite the busy boy lately. I don't know if it's the newness of having a baby in the family or just the fact he is 3 years old, but he has become increasingly LOUDER over the past couple months. He has two volumes: loud and louder. Oh yes, and the second his eyes pop open in the morning, he is on the go. He is alot like me when it comes to thriving on a schedule. He always asks me, "What are we doing today Mom?" and he will hold me to that schedule. New pastimes of his include: digging in his sandbox, painting with water-colors and helping me cook (cracking eggs is his favorite!). Potty-training finally lies in the past. Ahhh...FREEDOM!!
Me. Recently, I have been cooking more! And I love it. There is something about sitting around the table as a family and eating together. You talk, you listen and it just feels sweet.
Thomas. My husband has such a eye and vision for new business plans or ideas. I have to remind him to turn off his brain at night because I can literally feel him thinking. Have you ever felt that as a wife? I know that there is a calling on his life in the marketplace. It's exciting for me to wonder what our lives will look like in 5 or 10 years...but at the same time I am really learning to support my husband and encourage his dreams-not quench them. I am such a realist and a detail thinker! When living with a visionary, I have to be SO careful to not let his ideas stress me out by sorting though all the possible scenarios. We are good for each other. It's just tricky sometimes trying to find a good balance.
The holidays are coming!!! OOOHHH, I love this time of year!! The fireplace roaring, baking yummies, comfy sweaters, cute socks and slippers, trying to keep hats on squirming children....fun times are coming!
Thanks for reading!

Our trip to San Antonio
We had SUCH a wonderful time this past weekend celebrating Aaron's 3rd birthday with friends and family in San Antonio.
I pricelined (as usual) our hotel in downtown San Antonio a few weeks ago and got rooms at the St. Anthony Wyndham Hotel. After checking out TripAdvisor I was horrified to see nothing but BAD reviews for this hotel, including poor air conditioner, squeaky beds, no ice, mold in bathrooms, etc...I even called Thomas crying because I was sure I totally ruined this trip by booking a bad hotel. (With Priceline, you bid on rooms and once the bid goes through, it's non-negotionable.) It was supposed to be a 3 1/2 star hotel, so I was really suprised to see such bad reviews...
Anyways, turns out the hotel was absolutely gorgeous and we had a very pleasant stay! No complaints at all. It was a "historic" hotel and didn't have all the amenities as a modern Holiday Inn, but that made it unique to us! The room was HUGE. It had 2 full bathrooms with oversized tubs, a giant walk-in closet and high post beds.
Our air conditioner DEFINITELY worked. We always crank it down as low as it will go so we can pile on the blankets, but at the lowest setting it was WAY too cold for us. That's saying something!!
The lobby was emmaculate. Large chandeliers hung from the ceiling and beautiful paintings and gold statues adorned the hallways. There was a heated outdoor pool on the 6th floor with a neat view of the city's rooftops. I even thought the classical music inside the elevator was cool. It felt like a step back in time, and the "little girl in me" loved it.
Friday was Sea World day. Amanda was my hero for bringing a double stroller!
The boys had so much fun together. Aaron even rode this huge water ride. I was trembling as I watched my little baby boy plummet downward on a raft 100 feet above the ground, but as you can see, he loved it!
Saturday we went to the Children's Museum that we found as we were walking around downtown. It was just one block away from our hotel!
Being in San Antonio, you HAVE to eat nothing but Mexican food! :) We ate some every day. Yes. Every Day. Casa Rio on Thursday, Pico De Gallo on Friday and Mi Tierra on Saturday. My tummy is still recovering!
Such a fun trip! Ella did wonderfully too. She rode in the truck with Opa and Oma while the Martinez's and us rode in the Accadia. Being out of our typical schedule and away from her crib didn't phase her one bit and I'm very thankful for having a flexible baby. Trips are just so much fun to me! I know they wear out alot of people, but I always get home and am ready for the next trip!
Hopefully we will be heading up to Norman, OK soon to see Preston, Ashley and the twins!
I hope you all are having a fabulous October! Thanks for reading...

Long time no blog!
Just have a few minutes... (hah...that's the story of my life now!!)
Fall. I love it. I love change, especially changing seasons. Everything feels new and fresh and different. I used to hate change with a passion. It scared me and it was incredibly intimidating. When I threw caution to the wind and embraced change, I felt totally liberated. Why not trade in old habits, old mindsets and old things that are out of season with something brand new? It just makes sense. Sure, I may want to wear that old comfy sweater that was the PERFECT FIND, but after 2 years it's starting to fade and honestly, it doesn't fit the same as it used too. Will I ever find a sweater JUST LIKE that one? Probably not. But there are so many NEW THINGS now that I will find just as cute, and most likely, I will end up enjoying the new sweater more than the old one. It will fit me for the season I'm in now. Maybe next year it will be too big or too small (hopefully not the latter...) and it will be time for sweater shopping yet again!
Catch my drift?
Never stay comfortable with where you are at. Always be moving up. Embrace change. You can be intimidated with not being able to see what's directly in front of you, but turn that fear into excitement and anticipation. All long as you are sumbitted to the Lord and submitted to HIS plans for your life, there should be no worry about what's next. He'll never give you any more than you can handle and He will always give you the strength you need for a new season in your life.
Enjoy this changing season!!

The Proposal
5 Years ago the man I love asked me a very special question. I love sappy love stories, so do you mind if I share mine with you? :) I'm going to start at the beginning....
When I was little, we lived in New Hampshire and Massachusetts for about 9 years of my life (from 2 years old to 11 years old). My fondest memories there are of playing in the woods, discovering new "forts", peeling bark off the white Birch Trees to write secret messages on them, long bike rides with my family and most of all, walking down the beach at Plum Island. Plum Island is a barrier island off the northern coast of Massachusetts where the Parker River and the Merrimack River flow into the Gulf of Maine.
Anyways, it's a beautiful beach. I used to tell my parents that one day I would get proposed to on that beach. I would daydream with stars in my eyes and envision walking barefoot hand-in-hand with a handsome man. In my childish fantasies, everything was perfect. My long curly hair (yeah, I wish!) would be flowing in the wind and I would be romantically swept off of my feet when he would kneel down and say those beautiful 4 words...."Will You Marry Me?"
Fast Forward
September 7th, 2004- Thomas and I had been officially courting for 6 months and we were in Boston for:
1)A KGM (Kindom Global Ministries) conference
2) Scott and Brooke Sailor's Wedding-(Larry Titus' granddaughter)
3) A Rangers/Red Sox game at Fenway Park
and 4) A week with my parents at my family's cottage on the river outside of Newbury, MA.
Thomas and I had planned a "6-Monthiversary Date" for that special day. After a relaxing morning at the cottage and swimming off the dock in the FREEEZING river, we got all fancied up to eat at a beautiful restaurant called The Kiwi Grille (now called The Mission Oak Grill). This restaurant is located inside a renovated, old, New England Church and is a very "la-dee-dah" kind of restaurant. You know,the kind where they put the napkins on your lap, there are no prices on the menu and the food looks so pretty, you don't want to eat it!
After dinner, we left the restaurant and Thomas began driving toward the coast. When he told me he wanted to go walk the beach with me, I remember my heart pounding because the only good beach around was...you guessed it! Plum Island! Thomas swears to this day that he had no idea of my childhood dream.
We walked over a creaky wooden dock and stepped off onto the soft, damp sand. The beach was completly deserted on that cool evening. The weather had been very cloudy and overcast all day, so the setting sun was hidden behind grey clouds and there was a thick, romantic fog in the air to add to the private ambiance. And get this! Because of the extreme humidity, my hair (which I had straighted that day with my CHI), had magically transformed into pretty curls! I've never been able to get it to do what it did that night...Boo.
Anyways, I held my breath because it was almost too perfect! Everything I had every dreamed about was happening. And I promise, nothing is exaggerated for dramatic effect. :)
After walking hand-in-hand down the beach for several minutes, we found a large log that had drifted up from the ocean and sat down to watch the waves for a while.
Then, he starting talking. He told me how much he loved me and how he had prayed for his wife for years. He spoke of qualities and standards he wanted her to have and how I met each and every one and suceeded his expectations. He told me that he wanted nothing more than to share the rest of his life with me and then...got down on his knee to say those amazing 4 words. And I said "Yes!"
Mushy, huh? I am still amazed at how everything I every hoped for came true that night. I truly believe that the Lord will give you all the desires of your heart if you seek Him for them......
This pictures are pretty grainy, but fun to look at...

getting back in the groove!
This week, I began a NEW SCHEDULE!! I love having a plan, a to-do list and an organized week, so I try to keep somewhat of the same schedule for a semester at a time. The big SIX WEEK mark is on Friday so I thought it would be a good week to begin!
Monday
• Gym
• Home, Shower, Misc.
• Lunch HOME
• Kids Naptime/Make grocery list/Meal Plans
• Grocery Store/WalMart
• Dinner
• Softball Game
Tuesday
• Aaron to school @ 8:50
• Work 9-12:00
• Lunch OUT
• Car Washed/Errands (if needed)
• Pick up Aaron from school @ 2:30
• Home, Laundry, Misc
• Dinner/CTV/Gym
Wednesday
• Gym
• Home/clean upstairs
• Lunch Home
• Naptime

• Church/Connect Group
Thursday
• Aaron to school @ 8:50
• Work 9-12:00
• Lunch OUT
• Errands (if needed)
• Pick up Aaron from school @ 2:30
• Home/Misc.
• Dinner
Friday
• Gym
• House Projects
• Lunch Home
• Kids Naptime
• Family Time (park, zoo, bike ride)
• Date Night
So far, it's been SO nice. I got a membership at the gym and I am hoping these extra 7 pounds will shed away. I don't remember having this much annoyance in losing the pregnancy pounds with Aaron. With Ella, the scale did a nosedive down 30 pounds and just flatlined after that. It hasn't budged in 2 weeks and it's quite frustrating to only have 2 pairs of pants that fit. Ugh. BUT I refuse to buy any clothes at this point. That's my motivation. Ha.
Aaron began "school" on Tuesday and did wonderfully! I was SO mad that I forgot to bring my camera! I'll take pictures tomorrow... Anyways, he didn't fuss at all and the teachers said he was very polite and well behaved all day. Sweet music to a Mom's ears!
My office schedule at the Church will be lighter this year and I'm quite glad about that. I still have a passion and heart for being involved on staff there, but I need to make sure my focus doesn't shift from being a Mother, first and foremost. It's nice to have 2 1/2 hours with just me and Ella Bear before we pick up big brother from school.
So that's that! It's been so delightful to wake up everyday and have a "plan" for the day. I just function so much better that way. :) Oh! By the way, Miss Ella slept 8 hours the other night! She has been doing 6 hours steadily then 4 hours after that for the past week. So, she is officially out of our bedroom bassinet and sleeping her crib every night. Also, it just happens that both children nap from 1:30-4 so I get a silent house for 2 1/2 hours most days. Ahhhh...
Another note: Aaron's birthday is coming up next month and I'm trying to decided what to do? We are heading to Sea World with Opa and Oma that weekend, but I love giving my little man a party with his friends. We've done the Gymnastics Sports Center and that was SO nice. I'm not a fan of Mr. Gattis or Chuck-E-Cheese (giant casinos for children that make them bounce off the walls or scream and run from the huge rat...) and the Jump Around is just not very clean looking! Any other ideas? Can't believe he will be 3!!!! Ahhh!!!

life at 2:00am
Every night for the past week my head has hit the pillow at 10:55pm. It takes me less than 2 minutes to fall asleep until I hear a cute little grunt wake me up at 2:35am. I roll over and reach into Ella's bassinet to pick her up for nighttime feeding #1. Usually, the feeding/diaper change process takes about 20-25 minutes and she is back to sleeping contently in her bed until 6am for feeding #2.
Last night at feeding #1, it wasn't quite so...oh, what's the word?
2:28-I hear Ella start squirming and grunting. I begin feeding her in our bed. I'm sitting up with two pillows propped behind me and my head is falling forward as I try to stay awake. * ALL YOU NEW MAMAS-RAISE YOUR HANDS!! *
2:31-Thomas rolls over and touches my leg. He's always been sweet about giving me little "love pats" to acknowledge that he appreciates me getting up to take care of our kids. Anyways, I always am extremely thirsty when I wake up, so I ask him to bring me something to drink. I remember that I left a nice cold Powerade in the fridge last night. Mmmm...that sounds good!
2:35-I chug half the Powerade as Ella finishes her 1st half of her feeding. I reach over and put the sports drink on the nightstand then turn back to my baby. THEN, I hear a "glug-glug" sound and feel cold liquid soaking me through my shirt.
I had placed the Powerade bottle on top of a pair of earrings and it was tipping over onto our bed, nightstand, carpet and stacked up pillows on the floor. Great. Thomas offered to change Ella's diaper while I attempted to mop up the red, sticky mess from our bedroom ensemble. Oh, and did I mention that I just got the carpets shampooed last week?
2:41- I hear a baby grunt, a baby squirt/toot, then my husband groaning, "awwwggh, Ella!!"
2:57- Ella is sleeping soundly. There are strawberry-red stained towels around my side of the bed. Thomas is still washing his hands from the diaper explosion and I can't help but smile a little....gotta love babies!!!
