I love his,

Succulent baby thighs.

his squishy arms.

 hair, and how it sticks up all by itself.

birth mark.  It's in the lower left corner of his mouth.  It looks like a smudge of chocolate or something. :)

Big, fat, squishy cheeks.  They are excellent for kissing!

He's such a delicious baby and gets chubbier and cuter every day!

And him?  He only loves me for my big boobs.

I'm longing for...

longer hair.

It's been 3 years since I ditched my long locks and I want them back.  I've loved my short hair and I'm sure we'll reunite someday, but right now I'm ready for a change.  Now for the dreaded process of growing my hair out... til then, I'm dreaming of sexy ponytails and long layers...

Halloween 2010!

Meow!  My 2 little pretty kitties!

 My cuddly little bear :)

Awww! I love my kiddos

parading around at the trunk-r-treat!

Carving pumpkins!

Elli tried to carve one of our little ones, cuz "it's just my sizes!"

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!  And feel free to come to my house and take all our candy.  I've had far to much that my head feels fuzzy...

a couple Elli-isms

Yesterday was a cold, cloudy day, so we got to test out newly installed wood stove.
Elli said, "I'm not freezing my buns off, I'm warming my buns off!"


Elli also has little stomach bug.  After using the restroom she said, "It's like brown ketchup!"

The things this kid comes up with!  We sure love her and life she brings to our home.

pretty as a princess

She was looking too cute, so I had to sneak a few.  :)

 

Fall

Fall means that winter and cold are fast approaching which distracts me from the fact that so far the first week of fall has been great!  Nice warm, almost hot days, cool nights with windows open, extra blanket in the morning, and a couple homemade soup dinners!

Here are some fun things that Fall brings. 

Alex grew these for me. <3

Don't little pumpkins just make you happy?!  I love having them scattered around various surfaces in my home.

                 I like the larger variety too!

I made my girls special fall dresses with some awesome vintage fabric that I found.

I love them!

Do you like them? 

Yes?  Well you're in luck, I have dresses for sale!  Here are few of them.

All kinds of cute little girls maxi dresses all just a little bit different.  I even have more of the cute fall fabric that I am making into dresses.  If you want one, just let me know and I can make one just the right size! 

Get one from me now or these cute maxi dresses will be for sale at upcoming Holiday Boutiques in November!!

Cruz's newborn photoshoot



This is my absolute favorite!



Aww! I just love him and want to eat him up all day!

I got lucky and had someone come all the way from Germany to take pictures of my handsome little man.  Thank you David, I love them all! And you and Teresa! <3

a 3 year olds perspective..

While munching on crackers and watching her brother chilling in his swing, Elli says,

"My brother can't eat crackers, He can only eat boobs."

my boys <3

Meet Hamilton Cruz Nunez!

Our sweet little Cruz came into this world on Sunday, August 22, 2010.  He was 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long.  Everything went good and we are happily home!  I feel so blessed that he is healthy and so perfect!  He was SO worth it! 

Maybe in the next couple of days I'll write a more informative post.  Right now that seems like too much work ;)

Elli's Birthday Party!!... and a bit of other news...

Some pictures from Elli's birthday party last Saturday!

The pretty birthday girl!!

Our peeps.

I was going to put a little more effort into this post, but my adrenaline is pumping and I'm having a hard time focusing. We did Elli's party 2 weeks early so that 1: I'd feel up to doing it, 2: I really wanted to have the baby early. Turns out I get to have him early! I'm being induced at 7:30 tomorrow (Sunday) morning!!!! That's why my adrenaline is going. I hope I can sleep tonight, although I'm not really counting it.

Stay tuned for there will be pictures up of him hopefully early in the week!!

TRIN'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

My Trinity has been beyond excited to start school, and that day finally came! She had her outfit all laid out the morning before and everything all set to go in her back pack.


I figured that, being 8 1/2 months pregnant, this day would be extremely emotional for me. To my surprise it wasn't. I kinda feel a little guilty that I didn't even tear up as I walked Trin to her classroom and said goodbye. When I got to the car I thought maybe then I would cry. Nope. I almost felt like Cameron Diaz in 'The Holiday' in the scene where she's broken up with her BF and tries to make herself cry-- no tears came. The whole school thing just seemed kinda normal.



Elli and I went to the grocery store after we dropped Trin off. I love shopping with only 1 kid! After the store and every 10 minutes, Elli would ask, "Can we go get Trin now?" She feels a little left behind I think. But we had fun making rice crispy treats together to have for Trin as a "Welcome Home From Your First Day" treat. I'm really looking forward to getting some quality mommy and Elli time. Even if it only may be for a couple weeks, then she'll have to share me with her brother. :)

Trin Gushed about her first day! She has one of her good friends in her class, which hopefully doesn't mean they'll get into trouble together. They both are little chatterboxes! Trin told me a conversation that they had at school:

Desi: "We should stay here forever!"

Trin: "I don't think your mom would like that, let's just come back tomorrow!"

I can't believe that my first baby is already old enough to go to school! But I guess it's a good thing because she was so ready and she's needs something constructive to do everyday. I know she's gonna love every second!
