Summers Birthday!

This weekend was a good one :) Friday I worked, of coooourse. After work, I cant remember what I did, so it must have not been too exciting!

Saturday Bryan had to work & I hung out with my mom for most of the morning. We went and got her a new phone, and went to Sams Club to get stuff for my baby brothers graduation party! I had to teach my mom how to text since her other phone didnt have texting. She was so excited it was so funny. My mom is finally with the times! I cant believe my little brother is graduating already! Craaazy how fast time goes. Anyways, later in the afternoon me, my best friend, and Aliyah went to the mall for a little bit. Aliyah played & I bought a shirt, necklace, & ear rings. :) Then I met Bryan at my grandmas & she watched Aliyah while we went on a date! We hardly ever get to go anywhere just the two of us, so it was nice. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Thats Bryan's favorite place! We picked Aliyah up after dinner then we got a redbox movie and came home & snuggled & watched movies. :)

Sunday, Bryans mom, dad & sister came over. Bryan & his dad cut our bushes and pulled weeds. Funnnn :) Me & Aliyah went shopping & got her a patio table. It is so cuuute. Its like a real patio set with a umbrella table, and two chairs. Its just miniature & disney princess of course. :) Me, Bryans sister, and Aliyah went to the park & ran through the sprinklers. :) Then we just hung out untill 3. Then it was Aliyahs friend, Summers birthday party! Aliyah was super confused when she saw that her teachers from daycare were there. She kept looking at me like, "you're not leaving me here, are you?!" hahah. But it was fun. Aliyah had fun playing with the kids. After the party, we came home & watched the game & LUCKILY the suns won or Bryan probably would have cried. haha.

It was a nice, relaxing weekend! I am only working Monday & Tuesday this week! Supppper excited about that. Wednesday, my family from New Mexico is coming & staying with us. they have five kids & a dog. So we will have a full house! But Aliyah will be occupied the whoooole time, so i'm excited! Thursday is my brothers graduation! I'm so proud of him. :)

Time for beddd! Last day of work tomorrow before my very much needed 5 day vacation.

GOODNIGHT all. :]

Soooo, Wednesday was Aliyah's 15 month check up. She is advanced for her age. :) She weighs 22 pounds & is 31 inches long. Shes growing :) finaaaally. Buuut she had to get 4 shots! Pooorrrr baby :( It was so sad & I was there by myself since Bryan had to work. I wanted to cry with her! Buut she was such a big girl, when she saw the star sunglasses & bracelet the doctor gave her, she stopped crying. Thenn we went to get ice cream :). That night, she was soo fussy & she was walking like her legs hurt, saying "baba peeeeeaaaseee" Sooo sad.. I almost caved & gave it to her! Buuuut i stayed strong. :)

I feel like Bryan & I NEVER see eachother, even though we live in the same house. By the time he gets home from work, I am so tired & ready for bed already! He works on Saturdays most of the time, so Sunday is really our only day to see eachother. It makes everything so difficult! I miss him. :(

I really have nothing interesting to write about. So I will stop now :)

Aliyah's first year...

Wellll, I don't really have anything interesting to talk about, but i'm going to update anyways. Today started off bad. I woke up late, got to work late... but the day wasn't really that bad. The kids were craaazy, but when are they not?

After work Aliyah & I went to Babies R us :] I went to get Aliyah's little friend a birthday present, but ended up buying aliyah a jean skirt, tank top, and a dress. Shhh don't tell Bryan. :] Then we went to Famous Footwear because she needed new sandals :]

Now she is faaast asleep. Today is day 3 of her being off the bottle. :] It is going much more smoothly than i imagined. Next stop: Getting rid of the binkie. Thaaat will be more of a challenge.

It is absolutely unreal how fast my little munchkin is growing! I cant believe its already been 16 months since she was born. Crazy. She is way too smart for her own good. She is saying so many new things, and learning something new every day!

Well, i'm going to post pictures from when aliyah was little :[ Thenn go snuggle with Bryan :] Goodnight.

Splash pad

I am so bad about updating this thing. Life as a mom has been busier than ever. I feel like i never slow down. But, I absolutely LOVE it. Friday me & a friend from work took aliyah & her daughter, Summer to Bounce Jungle. Aliyah LOVED it. She loves jumping. Then, we went to Serranos with Kayla. Aliyah was so good :] & the food was delicious, as always. Then we rented Blindside & came home to daddy & watched it. It was such a good movie, even though i fell asleep before the end, of course! Saturday, we woke up early & me and Kayla went to the gym. Then to a wedding reception & then Bryan & I had a much needed date night! We went with Bryan's brother,a nd his girlfriend. Bryans mom watched the kiddies & we went to applebees & dave & busters. It was so much fun & very much needed. Today, Kayla & I took Aliyah to the splash pad. She absolutely LOVES the water. She is like a little fish & it is beyond adorable.

My little princess is getting so big, and it is so hard to keep up with her! She is starting to talk, ALOT. I can almost have a conversation with her. Being a mom is seriously the most rewarding feeling ever. I love her more & more every day. She lights up my world beyond belief. You never fully understand the meaning of true love untill you have a child. -

Now she is crashed out from having so much fun at the splash pad. I am enjoying the peace & quiet & waiting for Bryan to come home from bowling.

Ohhh;; MOTHERS DAY... it was such a perfect day! Bryan sent me beautiful flowers to work on Friday. It was a very nice surprise. Then on sunday, Me, Bryan & Aliyah spent the day together after visiting both of our mommy's. It was a very nice, relaxing day. Oh && Bryan gave me 100 dollars to get my nails done & go shopping :] He sure knows the way to my heart. hahaha. Then we went to dinner with my mom, brother & grandparents. We went to Monti's & it was delicious! It was the perfect ending to the perfect Mother's day. :]

I will try to be better about posting!
