Hi all, well as you can see Arlee got her glasses and it's so funny to see her in them lol!! She has been great about wearing them too i was really afraid of that, all i have to do when she takes them off is tell her putthem back on so her silly eye will get better ha ha its hilarious she puts them right back on. Tylie also added a new item ha ha she got her cute little ears pierced!! She was sooooooooooooo good too. wasnt any worse than shots actually i think she did better than shots, sort of let out a little cry and thats it. People looked at her througout the mall and mentioned how cute her little earings were she would just smile at everyone it was so darn cute. I always have done my girls ears right when they turn 3 months at this point i have so many girls its almost tradition ha ha.
Rick comes home in 19 days yay!!!! Thank Goodness i miss him sooooo much and i will just savor every moment he is here especially since we have decided not to move to Mississippi. we are waiting on the word for this 5 bedrom home i looked at directly across the street from me its beautiful and very good size for us i believe its about 2700 Sq. feet which will be very nice considering the 4 bedromm we are in is 1500 Sq. feet. If the house is ours we will be moving sometime around february 20 ish perfect timing, when Rick comes home and it will also be nice because it will be good to set up each room one by one seeing as its just across the street.
I was reading back on some the comments from my webpage, i have to say you all are some of the most amazing people. I am so glad i have met even if not in person but have met each and everyone of you. You all have touched my life in so many ways, helped me through some pretty rough times and always know just what to say!! I love this type of support system. Most of what i was reading was so uplifting and i found myself at moments crying and laughing then cryin again, even in the hardest of times with my baby girls when they were in the hospital looking back now at how many of you cared and supported us through all of that is so beautiful. So here is where i take the time to payback and say THANK YOU!!! Thank you for always listening when you read my stories, Thank you for taking the time to always put in writing your thoughts and ideas. I love you all ha ha if that doesnt sound to crazy but really Thank you!!
FRUSTRATED!!! First off here we are making decisions once again about weather we should move or not! HELP!!! Ok so Rick's ship gets accepted to the Navy this coming November, Which means a few months to follow that he will be right back out here and will stay stationed here until retirement. I am faced with the tough decision once again after finding this out. Do i move only to be back here 9 to 11 months later, taking the kids out of school once again just to take them out again argghhh!!And just the expense along its going to cost us about 4 to 5 thousand dollars to make this move Finances are another thing thats i believe may be the biggest issue. We finally are right back on our feet with a savings again and let me tell ya it was a rough road for a while there. Was even thinking maybe i could see if we could get a moving company to sponser a Military family who knows ?? I miss Rick so much and definatly want to be together again. These are some hard decisions. The good thing is if we do decide to stay Rick will still be able to take the classes he needs out here everytime he comes out to visit, which will always make his stays longer. So if he can get a good week or 2 week school in he will actually be home every 6 weeks or so. That may not be too bad. This is just a tough cal again. I am nervous as well that if we are out there and they send him away on a ship somewhere i will be there alone no family no friends just me:(. I don know he is already set to go on a ship somtime in early summer. The way the military changes things its sooo frustrating. So me and Rick once again are trying to piece together what is best for the family. Ricky has been struggling in school another reason i am afraid to move back and forth. So we only have a few weeks to really decide and i am stressin!!
On another frustrated note, Tylie was supposed to have her well baby appt onFriday but yet again they called to cancel i guess this time the Dr. was sick Ughhh !!! It's a small office with few Dr's called Pediatric Partners so i guess thats what happens when ya go to a small place like that. Her appt is rescheduled for the 31st at 9am so lets hope we get in. so thats the craziness thats going on here.
Stay tuned for the new opening of my new little buisiness i think you all will be pretty happy with the products especially those with little Girl's !! i will have things for boys too so don't fret ha ha!! Once i get it up and going i will post everything from my family page until the actual website gets up and going so you'll have to check out the family page soon. I'll let you all know when its up. I finally got a cute name i love for it too i am really getting excited about this new adventure for myself, it's also definately somthing that will keep me busy should we decide to stay here. Wel Thats all folk's! Talk to ya laters Jamie
Well good morning, good afternoon Good evening where ever you are reading from lol! Yesterday Arlee had her Eye specialist appt. for her right eye. For some of you that dont know whats going on she has been having some issues with the muscle and her eye would wander somtimes lol! We always laugh about it cause it really is silly somtimes but now is the time to get serious. Seems as Arlee has a problem with the muscle behind the eye i really forget what the Dr had called it (Bad mom huh ) we are taking some steps to fix it. Seems as the muscle crosses behind the eye and when she focuses it pulls her eye toward the nose going inward. Wel our little Arlee will be sportin glasses now. This is hopfully a prescription that will train the muscle and correct the problem. The Dr says sometimes this may not do the trick and the only other option is to have surgery, ahhhhh!! So lets hope these glasses help her out. I guess its hard to tell in pictures but most often you dont notice it unless you are talking with her or see her looking at a book or watching TV. It has progressivly gotton worse. We never did notice it as a baby it was somthing that develpoped over that past 18 months that is what the major concern is, that is developing now instead of being born like that. I'll be getting her little glasses this weekend and hope to get something cute for her. i really hope she wil keep them on that is my next battle. I'll have to figure something out to make it real fun for her. maybe i'll buy myself a pair of fake glasses and pretend we both are gonna wear them lol. So stay tuned for pics of Arlee ans her little glasses.
Tylie has her Well baby appt tomorrow check back in and see how that goes. I am sure she is at least in the 14 pound range she is so solid! At this point when she is laying around she talks to herself its soooo funny. She loves when mommy talks to her she even giggles its so cute. I cant believe how fast they grow my little penut is already 3 months old.
Thats the haps for now peeps
P.S thanks for all your beutiful wises for Ricky;s birthday and our Anniversary it means so much to have such woderful friends!! And Thank you to my Rick who wrote such a beautiful message for me I love you too babe!! (Way Past Heaven)
Hi everyone, wow its been pretty busy here and we had a wonderful weekend. Sunday was Ricky's Birthday and we went to the Monster truck jam along with my sister kacey Johnny and Jack as well as my sister Jessey ans her hubby Matt. We all had a blast! I have never been to one of those lol and wasnt really sure what to expect but i knew reguardless Ricky would be in HEAVEN and he sure was. We didnt tell him where we were going it was a big surprise you should of seen the look on his face when he relized where we were it was Priceless, even brought tears to my eyes i love the joy in a childs eyes where they are tickled with happiness like that. MiMi , Ricky says his favorite truck in The Grave Digger lol! When we were there one of the trucks blew up and set fire it was crazy one second it was fine and not a minute later flames were all over the plcae, it was kind of scary the poor guy in there got out safely thank God. All in all it was a blast i sware i was like being a teenage Tom Boy again lol, i dont know how many times i yelled the work "Holy Crap thats insane " It was hilarious i didnt realize that until i listened back at the video footage i had taken lol! All in all it was a blast! The next day Ricky's grandma and grandpa wanted him for the night they wanted to give him even more birthday attention and took him to D&B (Dave and Busters) for those of you who dont know what it is OMG its the coolest place full of video games of all sorts its really really fun and good food too.
The other kiddos in the pack are doing well and my little Tylie what a precious little thing or should i say big thing she is ha ha. She finally has her appt on firday the Dr.s office has resheduled me 3 times already she is having her 2 months well baby but she is actually 3 months at the end of the week. can you believe that 3 months already wow! Next week my little pumpkin gets her ears pierced i cant wait. All of my girls have always done so well when they get them pierced actually they cry more when they have shots. Timber and Arlee didnt really even cry when they had there's done. So you'll see pics of her and her blingy ears soon. Counting down the days till we see Rick again and even this move will be upon us in less than a month. We believe we will leave here the last few days of February. I am still in the works with getting us a home out there and have found a few that i really like but havnt made a final decision yet.
Timber is doing so good lately and been telling me when she has to potty i havent fully gone into potty trining mode with her yet but it sure is nice to know she has finally understood how this all works so far she has gone once on the potty what a big girl.
Arlee has her eye appointment tomorrow with the specialist i am praying everything will be ok, so crossing my fingers thats its somthing easiliy fixable.
Alexis is busy planning her going away party that i promised her she is kind of sad knowing she will be leaving her friends but is anxious to meet new ones too, she always does so well adjusting. I am just glad this isnt in the middle of High School for her because that when it really gets tough.
Ricky's birthday party wil be held a month late because Rick really wants tp be here for it and Ricky doesnt seem to mind at all just glad his daddy will be there.
I think thats about if for now we are all here and smiling big:) Hope your all well and doing super duper!!
Oh ya one more thing about the Monster Turck show we all joked about who would sit by us and hoped they had there teeth lol we talked about Mullet hair styles and flanel shirts when not long after we joked about it this funny goup of guys dressed up like somewhere down in the boondocks showed up right in front of us and they were hilarous i had to take a pic check it out
8 years old already and what a little man you are turning out to be. Daddy and i are so very pround of all the wonderful accomplishments you have achieved this year. watching you grow is so beautiful and at the same time saddens me because i know my one and only son will soon grow into a man and how quickly the years pass, i fear that will be too soon. We love you Ricky keep up the good work buddy, Hold you head high and always wear that beautiful smile of yours!
I played the song on the front page because Rick misses his babies, (the whole family) and though it's sad it is also wonderful because we will be together soon, and it will be so much better!
(That song is definately why we need to be together!!)
Although Rick has mentioned he has missed so many memories he has also mentioned he has been able to create so many in his head with beautiful pictures of our children! The years that have gone by together we have been through so many deployments with the Military. In the 13 years we will have been married this month (January 22nd), we have only spent a handful of them together. I love you My Sweet, My best friend ,My Love, The love that i have always prayed for!
Soon we will be back together and lets pray that we never have to be apart again!!
A little video of My TY its funny because it really sounds like she says hi lol! Now i have to say she is my little chunker but here seriously she isnt that big i am praying its just the angle of the camera lol! Tylie is growing soooo fast she is so funny because she has the little legs and arms and then Boom her chubby face and belly are just so funny! But seriously guessing she is probobly about 14 pounds ha ha ill know more at her appt.
(If you need to hear the video please stop the song by clicking the stop button on the song above)
Hi all, Hope all of your New Years were well. As for me and the kiddos we did nothing special really the kids and I stayed here at home and watched movies together and then Midnight rolled around Alexis and Ricky went outside to let off the poppers i had gotton them it was so fun for them. I really wish Rick could of been here to chime in the New Year with us i sure miss him, and there is nothing like Ringing in the New Year with that special someone, but i did have my babies lol! The kids are all great and our sweet Tylie growing by the day she is such a little chunk chunk lol! I'll guess she weighs at least 12 pounds her appt is this week they rescheduled a few of my appts one of which was Arlee's i am so bummed about cause we would of been able to make the BHP playdate , but... i am glad they did cancel cause all of us have been under the wether seems somthing is going around here and its even hit most of my family Kacey has it right now and its yucky!So next week we should have the girls in Tylie for her 2 months well baby and Arlee another eye appt this appt is just a follow up from the last appt and the big appt is on Jan 23rd with a specialist who will really let us know what is going on with her eye. Tylie now oh my goodness is growing so quickly i cant believe how quickly time goes. Ahhh i just love having babies!! Right now its so fun because i have kids all at different ages and stages and i get to experience it all at once. Tylie is definately a talker and still loves her sleep sometimes i think maybe too much! She is still not awake for often and somtimes it worries me but hey i guess i shouldnt complain lol! I have some video ill get up shortly i did put a video up of the girls its pretty funny how Timber tries to count with mommy in it. You'll have to check it out form the front page just click the videos link. My little Timmer's she is soooo much fun right now and so talkative she lately is trying to be the boss lady and always telling people NOW!! ya she tries to yell it ya know get some authority behind it lol she is so fun. She loves to make sure Please and thank you have been said and omg LOVES Barney ughh but hey i dont mind the big purple guy when he makes my baby smile ha ha.
Right now we are just counting down the days to be with daddy we should be leaving somwhere around February 25th. Just in time to be together for out first second anniversary. Sounds confusing huh. Well Rick and I renewed our wedding vows 4 years ago Leap year so every 4 years wwe will have a second anniversay lol funny huh. Our actual anniversary is coming up too its this month on January 22nd 2 days before that my Ricky will turn the big 8! i think thats about it for now hopeing your all well and smiling in the New Year i hope it brings to you all your hopes and may your Dreams all be fullfilled!
Well 2007 is just about to end and what a year we all had! Lots of new adventures and tons of new babies! Our own family welcomed baby #5 ! Lets see what the New Year brings. Just a quick thank you to all of my BHP landers i love that i have met you all you have so touched our lives over this past year and even years before.
Christmas was a hit the kids were spoiled as always , daddy was here and gone it was sooooooooooooooo hard this time ooh man and of corse i cried. This coming and going is what makes it even tough its just a big tease having him home and then seeing him off again. So yes for sure we are making our move in February which is scary cause it is right aroud the corner. I believe we will be leaving around the 20th. Back to Christmas we spent Christmas Eve with Ricks family and did presents there then the morning of Christmas we went to my moms house and did more gifts there and then off to our own home where more gifts were opened.i have a disk full of pics i left at ricks moms house my camera got to full i dummped them into a disk so i could take more. By there time i needed to take more i wasnt feeling well. Actually Christmas Eve poor Alexis was throwing up i felt so bad for her. The next morning she was fine just a 24 hour bug i guess. Then i came down with it the last day Rick was here so we really didnt get much time together this visit thats what made it really hard when he left. All the kids had still the best Christmas. Tylie is wonderful and so funny she is smiling all the time and even has laughed a few times as well its too cute! Timber is a ball to watch she is such a sweet little girl and her eyes omg they entrance me lol! Arlee well lately she is the biggest helper and actually demands on helping. Her favorite thing to do is dishes she begs to do them so we do them together and the whole time she says " i am a big helper huh mommy?" Its to darn cute my little crazy girl. Along with Arlee she has and will be seeing and eye specialist for the past 18 months we have watched her eye kind of create its own personality lol! I at first thought it would fix itself but it just seems worse. You cant tell much in pics but her right eye is very slow and has a mind of its own. When she watches TV or reads books even plays or looks at you it drifts off toward her nose. The Dr. we took her to has sent us for a specialist and explained that if she had been born with it, it wouldnt be to much of a concern. But seeing as it developed that there could be a couple things thats could be wrong. One thing she suggested was a pulsy of the muscle or even a growth of some sort maybe even a tumor behind the eye but she said dont be scared we just have to take the nessasary steps to find out. So for now i wont panic and i will just pray for the best. I really want to get this all taken care of before we move so we have a few appts this months in hopes we can solve the problem. Ill update as we know more. As far as Ricky and Alexis we they are still on break and go back the 7th its been nice not to have the duties of the morning rush. Tonight New Years still not sure what plans are ahead but whatever we decide it will be fun. I think thats reallt it for now i wish you and a very safe and fabulous New Year!!!
Hi all and Merry Christmas along with a beautiful New Year!! Well just a quick update while i have a moment, its been pretty busy around these parts! Our little Tylie is now 8 weeks old can you believe it? She is such a great baby and hardly ever cries, she sleeps so well too omg how did i get so lucky again!! As of right not its just about 9am and she is still sound asleep lol! No nightly wake ups she sleeps all the way through even her naps she is such a sound sleeper. As a matter of fact as i was claning the other day Tylie was laying on the couch and Rick asked if he should move her into the other room seeing that i was gonna vaccume and it may wake her, i laughed and was like heck no she sleeps right through it just as our other kids did. I went on and turned it on and not a peep or movement out of her he laughed lol! Tylie has a 2 month well baby and shots on Jan 3rd she is growing so fast and quite the little CHUNK! She loves her food and is now eating 6 ounces wheeew can you believe that! As far as my breast milk i still havent gotton a good supply so Tylie is on formula and breast milk and does wonderfully going from bottle to breast and vise versa. The kids just love her so much and Arlee ad Timber are quite the little mommies. Tonight we are staying with Ricks family , his brother Ronnie and wife Sheila came in for Christmas and its so wonderful to see them. Please say a prayer as both of them will be returning to Iraq next month for a year, they are both in the Army, Its real hard on them too cause they are sent to different locations. They do hope when they get home that they can finally settle and start making babies ha ha after all they need to hurry to catch up to us lol!
As far as our move goes we are still heading up to Mississippi and i am still a bit nervous, leaving all my family again will be tough, as well as the chance that they could send Rick on a ship somewhere and i will be alone there, i am praying that doesnt happen. I could stay here however its gonna be a long time before he will be home with us as a family so we both think its best we are there. On the other hand i am excited to start another new adventure in our lives.
Other news is Kacey and her little family have a new addition yep for a while we werent sure what was going on but if you read on in her stories my little nephew is being cared for by her and Johnny. He is sooooo cute! I am in love :). Little Jack is so great with him and just shows what a great big brother he will make. His name is Derik Nicolas. He is my Brother Nick's baby and well he is been up and down for years he is trying to make his life better now but seems he wont be able to be with his son for quite some time. Right now he is woth a fire program since being in jail for some time but now at a trustee type camp. The mother of the baby is now in jail. Kacey and Johnny have legal guardianship of him at the moment and seems as it could be for a very long time! We all just love him so much already and omg what a doll he is! so stay tuned as we venture more into the stories of Jack Jack and Nik Nak, lol thats what i call them lol!
Hmm i think thats really all the haps lately i wish you all a very Blessed Holiday and lots of love to each and everyone of you!
I thought and thought for the perfect poem to write for you, the perfect poem that would tell you all that is contained in my heart, but the words just sounded as if they were so repeated so copied so over written, I even looked up poetry and nothing could tell this love i have for you inside. My love My Rick I love you more than words, More than life itself, you make my life so complete, so completely unbelieveable. I can't believe the years that have past and i thank God nightly for the gift of YOU, that he has given me. My children ,My life, And us i have to be so grateful for. You are truly a blessing from above and i could never ask for anything more. Us together make Forever. Thank you for being my Light, My Love, My Life! Happy Birthday Baby!
Hello everyone! Hope your all well and smiling big. Well 9 days till Rick comes home and i am thrilled I CANT WAIT!! It will be nice to have him here and its always nice to have him help relive the craziness of my days helping carpool would be the greatest lol! Wow this morning i woke up to some major frost all over the lawn and car it was 36 degrees so my car temp said but wheeew it was chilly.
Well our little Tylie is 6 weeks old can you believe it! Christmas she will be 2 months ahhhh they grow so fast. As far as Tylie goes she is sooooooo much fun still and still asleep the little lazybug lol! Its 8:04am she should be up soon, but she is definately sleeping through the nights. every now and again she will wake up about 5am wating a feeding and goes right back to her sweet little slumber. She is very alert and loves to look around at everyone, She doesnt mind tummy time and as a matter of fact she lifts her head to look at whats going on. Looks like we may have another little Curly Top on our hands too! Tylie's hair curls up just like Arlee's did when she has a bath. She is smiling as well as started cooing last week i was kind of shocked and thought naaa there is no way she could be well while my mom was holding her she was making all kinds of sounds even my Mom blurted out "She Talking", it was so cute. I'll get some video up today and some new pics. Finally got a new Canon camera seems thats quite the trend around BHP land lol! But i really really needed a new one. Decided this time to try a Canon my sister has one and i really loved it so had to get myself a early Christmas pressie!! I still havent gotton more than 4 ounces of breast milk in one pumping but who knows she may be getting more than i think when she nurses. I am also suplimenting with Formula which is wonderful too cause i have to tell ya taking a break to pump or nurse sometimes with 2 other kiddo under 3 wheeew lol! So a couple times during the day she has formula as well as her night feeding which i split up with formula and breastmilk seems she is getting pretty darn full and keeps her pretty sleepy i guess. Tylie is a little piggy she is eating about 5 ounces at a time now and i am shocked she has even pulled 6 ounces a few times lol. She is growing fast and i love seeing all her new changes its so much fun. I love having so many children and would love to have a few more lol! Rick is pretty set on the idea of No More! lol he said that after Arlee lol! who knows what the future holds hmmm maybe we will get another Dog lol! The kids are anxious for Christmas Break as i am too i love this time of year. But more importantly Rick will be home soon woooo hoooo! Then we will make are journey to Mississippi. I have decided February is the best time for our move. Also i am nervous about things that may change because moving out there is always on and off and its very frustrating. I am so nervous about getting there just for them to send him off to a 6 moth deployment but Rick says that is slim, you never know with the Navy though. After about a 1 and half to 2 year stay there we will end up right back here in San Diego which will be nice to be back near family again. But for now the move is on Rick says the ship they are building will be quite a bit longer than we thought. The shedule for its completion was set for March 2009 and to be in Cali sometime a month to 2 months after, but he says it will be longer now and seems as if all the rumors of it going into 2010 are correct. Well its frustrating and we are dammed if we do and dammed if we dont lol! I just have this fear of moving out there only to find out that we could come back 6 to 9 months later OR staying here and sticking it out 6 to 9 months just to hear the date will be pused again which would be awful cause then i would beat myself up over not chosing to be there in the first place lol! Well we are going reguardless UNLESS some big changes are made that are pretty set in stone. I am very anxious to see what Mississippi will bring us and i have found some beautiful homes there cant wait to share our chioce with you all as soon as its set for sure. I t hink thats about all for now ill update later with pics and videos.
Alittle letter to my honey on the front page! Cheer up babe you will be home soon!
We had a great conversation about some upcoming things as well as just in and outs of daily routine.He really misses home and cant wait to be back here or even us to be out there as a family again. In the middle on it all we got caught up talking about how we need to have Rick and Jamie time even for just a day so we can get back to us. Its been pretty rough this back and forth stuff as well as missed calls and quick conversation. somehow in the middle of it all he mentioned how much he loved me and asked why i loved him. I told him i could not believe he was asking that and there are so many reason i love him. He told me to name one but again i told him there are too many and i laughed a bit he was making me blush. Somehow we got off topic in the middle of a pillow fight and a fight over who's cup was who's and when we hung up i realized i never told him or answered his question why i love him? So i told him on my front page. There are so many other reason i love that man it would just take forever to write them all down. Reguardless I Love him and hope he cheers up it was a pretty rough day for him and he was pretty down in the dumps. Love you Way Past Heaven Babe!
First of a big Congrats to the Torresluna family on the welcome of there beautiful new daughter Ava Claire she is just precious!!
I have gotton a few emails and some comments on my site reguarding my Santa letter i sure would love to take total credit for that however i got the idea online years ago and just changed it ito my own words, most of it was written by and anonomous mother so i could never actually give credit to anyone but hey you are all welcome to believe it was by me hee hee!
Things are great here we are sure happy to report daddy will be home in time for Christmas woooo hoooo! Yep December 19th he comes in for a short stay and will return shortly after Christmas to Mississippi, which is where we all plan for our move out there. We still have plans as of this moment to go there with him but i am so scared that yet again things could change, so for now and well at least the moment its the waiting game. Our move should take place sometime end of January to early or mid February.
Tonight the kids and i made some cute decorated gingerbread men and trees ill post the pics up here shortly of the great job they did. Tomorrow we have plans for making Christmas cards for there teachers, we got some great card kits for them to assemble the making it their very own special idea. Thats about it really the baby is soooooo great and she is still sleeping so wonderful and makes it through the night. Right now we are battling a nasty rash on her little bottom its awful. I have tried everything and A&D ointment seems to be working the best.Thats the haps for now
