Happy Anniversary

Yesterday was our 4 year wedding anniversary! We were blessed enough to be able to spend most of the day together!!
We also watched our wedding video with Nevaeh who continued to ask where she was. She also took it upon herself to cover my face most of the time and yelled "don't kiss her" or "don't dance with her"... I don't think I have ever meet a little girl who was more in love with her daddy!

Honey... thank you for the most amazing years of my life!

Finally

A couple of vacation pics...


#1) The first one is one of the high lights of Nevaeh's short life... she is in LOVE with Peter Pan. She was so nervous to meet him!! I ordered a 8 by 10 of this picture and hung it in her room and she gets giddy when she looks at it!

#2) Number 2 is a picture of us waiting in a TWO hour long line for some new ride!! Nevaeh was so patient!!

#3) The 3rd one is of Nevaeh all dressed up as Jasmine... Uncle Lofi and Auntie Jess were nice enough to buy that for her birthday!

#4) The last one is of all of us (Uncle Lofi, Auntie Jess, Leila and Johnny!).

We had so much fun and can't wait for our family vacation next year!

Car Wash

After being practically insulted by Trish about Jacob's filthy car, we decided to wash it this morning. Nevaeh was so excited to help! I told her to go to her room and get a sweater and some shoes... she quickly ran into her room... Jacob and I were already waiting outside when she walked out...

She was wearing sweatshirt, shorts and her glass slippers!! She looked so funny.. she ran out yelling...
Nevaeh: "I am ready, daddy!".
Jacob shaking his head: "I hope this isn't a an idea of how the future will be"
Me: "Well, at least she isn't wearing her bikini"
Nevaeh: "OH, MOMMY, I want to put on my 'baby soup'!!"
Jacob: "thanks Jen"


Oopsie...

JULY 13TH

My baby turned 3 today!! Only 3 short years ago Jacob and I were brand new parents ready to embark on this new and scary journey together... now we are the parents of a THREE year old, we can't believe it! She is an incredible kid that surprises us every single day!! She is already such a sweet and caring person, I can't imagine what the future holds!

1) My belly, 7 months pregnant

2)Nevaeh only a few days old!

3) Nevaeh on her 3rd Birthday!!

Weekend

On the 4th, we decided to go to our friends timeshare, which is right on the beach for a BBQ and sunbathing. It was a lot of fun and Nevaeh LOVED hanging out on the beach for hours!

Nevaeh slept in her underwear Friday night, because I forgot to change her. Anyway, she snuck into our bed around 4 and then at 7 she woke up yelling, "EEEWWW, daddy's gross!!" I asked her why and she said, "he is sweaty". I leaned over to touch him and leaned right into my daughter's PEE!! Gross, I know!! At 6:45 a.m. the last thing I wanted to do was change the sheets, give her a bath, and change her all while dealing with a crying kid!! The only thing that got me through it was Nevaeh apologizing for "pee the bed"!! My poor baby, I tried to make sure she understood it was an accident and it wasn't her fault. While I gave her a bath, Jacob changed the sheets and put the pee soaked ones in the wash. Nevaeh was not about to go back to sleep after that so she went off to the living room and daddy followed. I headed straight to the bed and went back to sleep. When I woke up I found the entire house CLEAN. Jacob was sweet enough to make breakfast, wash the dishes and clean the house... while I slept! So sweet, his mama taught him well!!

We ended up in church last night which was awesome because we always intend to attend Saturday service but usually miss it due to Nevaeh's napping schedule. Nevaeh FOR THE FIRST TIME, walked into children's church without the slightest whimper!! She was telling us in the car, all the way there, that she was going to play with her friends, pray and eat snacks all on her own... and to our surprise SHE DID!
Anyway, since we diid church last night we have all morning to hang out as a family!! We have decided to head out to Carlsbad and get a nice workout in then play on the beach. We have packed our lunch bag and are now going to get ready and head out! Nevaeh convinced us to buy her a kite, which we will fly at the beach today!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend... or what is left of it!

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!!
