52 Weeks | Week 10

Sorry for the back to back posts.  I'm taking advantage of the free time I have to get up to date  with my posts.  I'm so in love with this photo of Jaslyn.  She looks so much like a little girl and not so much a toddler. It makes me a bit sad but at the same time it makes me joyful to know that this little girl is all mine and is growing up so beautifully.   Do you ever catch yourself looking at your kid and start to think...."I made that" I do that from time to time except I look at all 3 of my kids and I can't believe I have THREE! I start feeling blessed and of course thinking time goes by way too fast. 

52 Weeks | Week 9

I am so behind on this project! I took the photos but I just haven't had the time to post them.  I believe I'm on week 11?  Anyhow here are 2 photos from week 9.  These you've seen I'm sure.  One if from Eric's baseball game and the other is from Natalie's Softball game.  That's basically my life right now.  BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL, but I'm not complaining.  Whatever keeps them busy, active and away from video games I'm all for it.  The best part? They looooove to play.  

33 Months Old

Is she really 33 months old?? It's crazy! I'm going to have a 3 year old in less than 3 months. Is it bad to say, we're already planning for it? Jaslyn is excited! She knows her birthday is coming up.  We've been looking at party themes online and magazines.  She picked it out last month and so far she's still sticking to it.  She wants an "Olivia The Pig" birthday party.  The time finally came, she wants a character party!!  For her first birthday she had a cupcake theme, for her 2nd birthday she had an owl theme. I don't really like cartoon theme parties but hey it's her birthday and that's what she likes, so we're going with it.  

  I just want to freeze time and keep her a 2 year old for just a little while longer. Like a year a two longer. She's so incredibly sweet and loving.  I want to remember all the adorable things she says from day to day.  Here are a few:

- I finished it off (all) She says off instead of all LOL

-  Shhh!! the baby sleeping.  Don't talk to loud!

- Mommy, Ewick doesn't love me :(  ::makes a pouty face::

-  Look Mommy, its not dark ::points to the window:: She always says that when I go in her room in the mornings.  She's basically telling me I can get up now since it's not dark LOL

- Ahhh the truck is gonna take me!! (the trash truck) OR  "Daddy, you not gonna let the trash get me??"

- I wanna go dare (there) can you take me peeace mommy?

- Mommy!! You haven't paint my toes!!!

- Naly (Natalie) wanna pay (play) wit me??

- Mom, Ewicks being mean to me!! Spank him LOL 

- Mommy, les have a picnic!!!

She doesn't like it when I hug, or kiss her daddy.  Sometimes she'll let me and I have to ask her to "share" she'll give a long sigh and say "ooookkkkaaayyyyy" LOL sometimes I'll make her mad, hug him while she's looking and say "My Daddy" she gets so mad and yells back "No mommy, that's MY Daddy!!" she'll say what i say.  If I say "my boyfriend" she'll reply with "No he's my boyfriend!!" LOL it's so funny.  I've even said "that's my baby daddy" hahaha she'll repeat that too.  She doesn't want anyone hugging her daddy. Not even Natalie.

  

Oh Jazzy, you're growing way too fast!! :(

See Ya Later Baby!

The time has come! Jaslyn's famous baby was replaced.  I know the title makes it seem like we got rid of her baby but we really didn't.  We just replaced her with a new one.  In the past few weeks I went to 3 different stores to get her a new one of the same kind that is but I could not find her.  See the thing is, that was Jaslyn's very first doll. She got it for Christmas when she was about 6 months old.  Well she's gotten new ones for her birthday and Christmas but she doesn't really play with them as much as she does with her first doll.  This doll is special, she sleeps with her, plays with her and even takes her everywhere she goes.  You can just imagine how dirty it gets.  She puts her on the slide, on the dirt, the ground EVERYWHERE you name it!!  I washed that poor doll a million times and after them thousand time the stains weren't removable anymore.  They just didn't come off.  Her face was full of dirt and everyone would tell me, "I think it's time to wash her baby" little did they know it was clean and recently washed LOL anyway my point is I had to buy her a new one and luckily i found it online.  So I ordered it.  Here's Jazzy bringing in the package that the "truck" dropped off for her :)

At first I wasn't sure if I was going to tell her that she was being replaced.  I wasn't sure how she was going to take it but I went ahead and told her (before it arrived) if she wanted a new baby just like that one.  Right away she said yes.  She even asked "The same baby?" She seemed ok with it so I told her a new one was coming and that the truck would be dropping it off.  Everyday she looked outside the window.  Freaking doll didn't arrive till a week later I purchased it.  Took forever, but she came and that's what matters. Can you tell she loves that baby just as much? She was so happy to see her.

Now here's a comparison shot.  Obviously you can tell a lot more in person the dramatic changes of her old baby.  The one on the left is her old baby and the one on the right is her new one.  They're exactly the same except her new one has brown eyes.  Now look at her old dolls feet and cheeks! That stain does not come off. Her new doll is even more plumped and her outfit is even pink.  Can't really tell here, but the new doll is definitely a lot prettier :) I'll be saving her old doll as a keepsake.

You can read more of the same doll posts here, here and here.

10 on 10 | March Edition

Is it really March already? It's hard to believe but I'm anxious for Summer so I'll believe it.  So here's how are day went......  I started my day with some breakfast.  My Mother in law makes the best home made Jelly.  Every time we run out I have to ask my husband to tell her to make us some more :) She makes us Orange and Strawberry Jelly.  The Orange is my favorite. It's so delicious. So that's what I had for breakfast.  Toast and coffee. 

Jaslyn usually wakes up around 8:30 am but this morning I didn't hear a peep come out of her room.  So around 9am I went in to check on her and this is how I found her.  All nice and warm cuddling with her baby.

I'm not going to lie, I actually forgot to take a photo at 10am.  Eric had a game that morning and I was running around like a mad woman getting ready to leave.  So I used this photo which was from the previous day which was around the same time actually.  Jaslyn got a package in the mail.  I'll post more on that later :)

 By 11am we were at Eric's game he had to be there an hour early to warm up so Natalie and I hung out in the shade and watched him warm up.  Natalie was listening to her ipod.

By 12pm Eric's game had just started.  Jaslyn loves laying out on a blanket in the grass.

Here's Eric getting a hit.  You can see the ball going right back to the pitcher (pitcher not shown) He did so good.  He got 2 singles and pitched an awesome inning.  Good Job son!

By 1:30 Eric's game was over.  Here you see the coaches and his team.

 After the game we went to get a bite to eat then headed to Target.  Eric had a gift card he's been wanting to use that he got for his birthday.  He got himself an XBOX game :)

 Another error on my part.  I forgot to snap a photo at 3pm.....my bad.  At 3pm we were at Toys R Us.  But here's Jazzy having fun at 4pm :) I took her to the park here inside our community.

Natalie had a game later that evening, so I snapped a few shots of her before heading out. I swear she looks older by the day.  My baby isn't a baby anymore :(

Opening Day!

It finally happened! Baseball is back in my life :) The kids are back to playing baseball and softball.  Opening Day was this past weekend and it was so much fun.  It gets me that even more excited for the Dodgers Opening Day.  I cannot wait.
So this past Saturday we all woke up pretty early.  Eric had to attend his parade, Natalie had to take pictures with her team as well as individual photos.  Then she had a game at 10:50am.  My Mom, Dad, Uncle and Brother all came to watch both of their first games.  It was a pretty hectic day but so worth it.  They had food, jumpers, did I say food? :) The park was filled with lots of families.  So much fun.  Eric got a single and a double.  Natalie got walked, stole 1st and 2nd, scored the first run and got a double play.  They did great!

Natalie being a cute Nerd! :)
