Tear jerker
Jacob, Nevaeh and I were watching "America's funniest home video's" on ABC family channel, when all of the sudden a commercial for the ASPCA came on. The commercial featured Sarah Mclachlan and her song "Arms of an angel". Of course, the commercial had clips from injured animals... this made Nevaeh very sad!! She turned away from the TV and said "I'm sad, I want a pet".. AND SHE BEGAN TO CRY!! This officially proved she is my daughter... I do this all the time!!!
Vacation, part 1
Well our vacation was AMAZING!! It was so nice to hang out with my little family all day long for 9 days straight!! We hung out by the pool, ate, swam, ate, laughed, ate, sweated, ate, laughed some more then lastly ate again!! It was definitely my kind of vacation...
The only person who loved it more than me was our little Nevaeh. She really couldn't understand why daddy wasn't going to work in the morning but she really didn't mind considering we were at DISNEY so often during the week. Nevaeh nearly lost her mind every morning when we would say "who wants to go to Disneyland?" She was such a trouper... the time change was hard on all of us as was the lack of nap time!! Nevaeh hung in there really well and didn't have ANY "meltdowns" at all... she get that awesome laid back roll with the punches attitude from daddy.
First of all our camera is broken... we borrowed Monica's (my sister) camera for the trip so we are unable to download the pictures onto our computer because we don't have the proper cable to do so. Therefore, we will have to wait a another week or two to see those fabulous pics!!
Our first night in Florida we visited my friend Erica and her family, Mike (her honey) and Kai her active one year old!! The Katz's were kind enough to welcome us into there home and provide us with shelter that night!! It was so nice to catch up with Erica since so much has changed. She is now a wonderful stay at home mom which is the complete opposite of the last time we hung out!!
Thanks again Katz's for the hospitality..
We will post pics as soon as possible!!

We signed Nevaeh up for T-ball and almost wasn't able to do so because she is only 2 years old and the age range is from 3 to 6 years old. We stated our case about her turning 3 in July and they finally had to do an "age over-ride" to allow her to play. She has played the past two Saturdays so far and LOVES IT!!!! Here is a video of the first two days...

Out of loop, Mexico and the ER!!
Nevaeh and I have been so out of the loop lately I don't even know where to start!
My poor Nevaeh had a plethora of illnesses, beginning about a month ago. It started with a cold which then turned into a cough which then turned into an ear infection!! After the ear infection Nevaeh's body decided to keep the runny nose preventing us from hanging out with our usual play group!
After my baby got better we went on vacation to MEXICO for about 6 days. We had so much fun at my parents house. I had not been to Aguascalientes in 9 years!! The last time I saw my parents home it was literally 4 brick walls and dirt BOY has it changed. I didn't know exactly what to expect but I assumed it would look like most of the houses I visited in Mexico... small, dusty and OLD!! I walked into their home and it was BEAUTIFUL!! My jaw hit the ground!! Not only was it HUGE but it was decorated so nicely. From the red sofas and flat screen TV to the top of the line refrigerator. My mom does have the best taste... if only I had her decorating style.
My mom and dad were so happy to have us ALL at their home with our families. It was so nice to have home cooked "mom" meals every night. Since it was carnival time in Aguas. my sisters, cousin, Jacob and I decided to go out and party like teenagers on a Tuesday night!! We had a blast. I can't believe I waited 9 years to party like that!!
p.s. I can't find my camera battery charger so I will post pictures whenever possible!
Anyway... about the ER.
I ended up getting a slight cough in Mexico so while in the airport I decided to buy a pack of Halls to prevent me from coughing up a storm in the crowded airplane. During our flight I began getting itchy.... it started on my stomach then my legs and finally my eyes began to itch... I assumed it was allergies. As soon as we got home I took a shower and went to bed. I woke up with usually swollen eyes, so I decided to take Benedryl. My itchy eyes and body went away but my cough persisted so I continued to take my Halls. While at school my hives started coming back on my legs and eyes so I left early. I took Benedryl one last time right before bed (along with yet another Halls or two). I woke up at 5:30 a.m. scratching the skin right off my legs!! I got up and went straight to the bathroom only to find MY FACE COMPLETELY SWOLLEN and my body COVERED IN HIVES!! I quickly get dressed wake Jacob up and head straight to the ER. I got two shots in the tush and headed back home and straight to bed!
The only thing I am allergic to is Aspirin but there shouldn't be Aspirin in Halls right?!?! I have taken them before... but I have never taken MEXICAN HALLS... so beware... take all your own medication on any trip!!
Big Girl Dressing Herself!
Nevaeh and I decided to take the train last Thursday... Nevaeh was so excited she picked out her outfit!! 
She is so cute!! Can't wait to show this picture at her 21st birthday party!!
