Blog Fairy

Hi Everyone!  It's Jennifer, Jovina's sister.  She's such a baby and I wonder how long it will take her to realize I have hacked into her blog and changed her background.  I almost picked something REALLY ugly but decided to be nice!  lol!! 

My Blog

I have no idea what is going on with my blog right now. I can tell you though, that until it's fixed, I won't be posting anymore. I am sooo aggrivated because I can't for the life of me get it back to the way it was after messing around with it. UHHHH!! Help me hubby! :)

Always the Helper

Helping daddy do some work at Lola's house.

Liam at the Park

It was such a beautiful day this past Saturday, Liam and I just had to get out!

Hurt Foot

I have managed to hurt my foot again. My mom always said that wearing shoes with no arch support was bad news and she was right (again!) Ive pretty much been wearing my Uggs non stop since it's been cold outside and now my feet are paying the price. I'm in a hard boot to see if that helps, if not, back to the foot Doc I go!

Welcome Home Daddy!

The first night home for Bill is always so special for Liam. He misses his daddy and is always glued to him the first night back! :)

Mommy and Liam

aw! He's soooo cute!

What a silly Boy.

Happy Valentines Day Billy Boy

Glad you are on your way home now. :) I love you very much.

Liam with a much needed haircut

Not sure why, but Liam has NEVER been a fan of getting his hair cut. We took him for his first haircut when he was less than a year old and several times after that. Everytime he would het sooooo upset! Screaming, crying and just plain mad. Well, he got to where he would actually let my mom cut his hair and no one else but her. Not even me. Well, since my mom had been in the Phillippines, he was looking REALLY rough. Above is a picture to show you just how rough. In a mother's eyes, he's still perfect to me :)

Oh, BTW, if anyone has any tips or tricks on how I can get him to go and get his hair cut somewhere I am all ears!

Happy Bday Bill!

Running the bases at the Ball Park :)

What an angel when he sleeps

Bill's yummy chocolate Torte Bday cake

Catch me if you can!

Filipino Candy

I can not for the life of me tell you what these are or what they even taste like. All I can is they are GOOD! If my cousin Ria reads this maybe she can comment on what they actually are since she is just getting back from the Phillipines herself. My mom brought these home from her trip and I've loved them since I was a little kid.

V-day Party

Today was Liam's Valentine's Day Party at school today and I wanted to be mommy of the year (kidding) and made all his classmates treat bags. There are only 7 of them in the class so it was fun! His teacher, Miss Julia even got one too. Liam got to pass them out to everyone after class. He enjoyed that. :)

It's today, It's today, It's today

How many of you have seen Stuart Little and the opening scene has "George" running from his room into his parent's room screaming " it's today, it's today, it's today"? It was the day he would be getting his new brother. Well, since my mom is coming home today after a month long visit to her home country in the Phillippines, I feel like George. That saying has been playing in my mind all day. lol! I'm not gonna lie, I've missed my mom. A lot. I'm glad she's coming home and I know she can't wait to see all of us. It will be nice to have things back to "normal" :)

Gentle Discipline

I recently read an article on gentle discipline and it really got me thinking about a few things. Liam is at the age now where he needs discipline from time to time. I will be honest, I have done the "time-out" thing, and I'm not a big fan. Mainly because it doesn't work and really because it doesn't re-inforce "good behavior". So, from time to time I have thought of other ways to discipline him when he needs it. I read this article and a lot of it made since. We don't spank Liam, never have, never will. To me, physical discipline isn't good for anyone involved. I personally think it teaches children that "hitting is okay" when mommy and daddy do it, but not if you hit your classmates? Wow. Mixed message perhaps? Sorry. I was spanked as a child. Yes, MANY times, sometimes even with a wooden spoon (comes from living with an asian woman) and I'm not sure it really helped me "learn" a lesson. So, while I'm still in search of a form of discipline that will work for us, I will ponder some ideas from the following article. Oh, by the way, if you spank your child, I won't consider you a monster. It's simply something we have chosen not to do. That's all. :) Oh, if you want to take a look at the article, you have to copy and paste it into your web browser.

Day at the Park with Daddy

He Loves this park!

Hola!

Liam loves to go and visit this horse. He lives down the road from us near the park that we always visit. He is so friendly and loves attention. Liam loves him!

My sister has been helping out with Liam while Lola has been gone. She gets creative on how to keep this little guy busy. Arts and crafts mardi gras style!

WHat a beautiful day for power wheelin' :)

Well, my mom comes back in a few days. I couldn't be happier about that. Liam is really starting to enjoy school. Bill's schedule at work is finally starting to get a little better and I am doing great! Had some bloodwork done yesterday to basically see how my body is doing after our miscarriage and to see when we can start trying again. Liam sang happy birthday to himself last night as he blew out 8 candles ( it wasn't his bday) and wanted to do it again. 6 MORE times. He's the greatest! So full of life. Here are some recent pics. :)
