First time Ice Skating!

Evelyn did great her first time ice skating! Her dad took her out on the ice and was hunched over struggling to teach her, I went and asked if they had any of those kid type walkers for the ice and lo and behold they did not. I understand, with so many people on the ice they can get in the way. I use to love to ice skate and its kind of like riding a bike, you get going and it just comes back to you. I was VERY careful and took it extremely slow, if I didn't go out there there is no way she would have done so well.... not just bc of me, but because she had an adult on either side of her to hold her up and give her the opportunity to learn. By the end she could skate a short distance by herself! I was so proud of my big girl!

Halloween

This year we opted to go to Sea World rather than go trick or treating. Both myself and Evelyn's dad D had the day off. We try to do things together when we can for Evey's sake. We have put what has happened in the past behind us and are able to be friends. It makes me sad that some parents have to miss out on their child's life because its the others Holiday to get the child. I understand though that sometimes that is life. Evey had a blast and we avoided all the candy! I know I'm biased bc I'm her mommy but I think she is the cutest Minnie Mouse EVER!

NSII- Night shift induced insomnia

Thats my new term to add to the medical dictionaries, think I can get some money for it? lol I want to upload some pictures and blog but its close to 5 am and I need to get a nap in before I have to wake the munchkin up and get ready for my 3D ultrasound! After the US I will post Halloween pics and Evey pics and of course ultrasound pics! I worked the night shift, slept during the day, took Evey ice skating for the first time ever and then came home went to sleep and promptly woke up a few hours later. I've facebooked and caught up on some blogs, now I have to go back to sleep, hopefully I can post this evening!

Tiff's baby shower in pictures

Me, Tiff, Amy n Meg

The girls got in on the relay action

I won! woo hoo

Tiff becoming increasingly frustrated she was losing to Amy, I think the only reason Amy didn't win was because Tiff was making her laugh!

Guess that candy bar, Isa was so grossed out people were smelling diapers!

Glowing mommy to be Tiffanie.

28

My best friend Tiff was coming into town to have her baby shower and another one of our good friends Meg was also coming into town. It just so happens I have the best friends ever, they decided to throw me a birthday party that weekend since everyone would be in town. It was a crazy weekend but I had so much fun. I wish all my friends still lived in town. Here's some pictures from the party. It was so nice to have everyone get together, it was just like the old days.... minus the hangover and plus a few kiddos lol.

Evey turned FOUR!

My little girl is growing up, I know that sounds cliche' but I want her to be this age forever. With the time that has passed my ex and I are friendly now, we try to do things every once in a while together so Evey can have both her parents around. For her birthday we had a nice day out, we made an appointment to get her hair cut.... for the first time. I would trim her bangs, which didn't always come out well lol, but as far as a professional hair cut, this would be her first. We didn't go crazy, just trimmed a few inches off and added layers. She got to pick out a new nail polish color and some nail art stickers. She wanted a pink hair extension (clip on of course) so she got that. We went out to dinner afterwards and had a wonderful day with Evelyn. That weekend we had a party at my moms house, it was a blast. I've always been a party person and the more the merrier. We rented an inflatable water slide that we will most definitely be renting again next year. Last year we had a moon bounce and while it was a hit with the kids, it was entirely too hot here in south Texas. Along with my family, Nomi and Amy showed up with their girls! Isa is Evey's age and they loved playing with each other, they were so cute holding hands going up the slide, it made me incredible nervous that they would fall though. Watching two four year olds trying to fill water balloons was quite amusing too. Katie was cute as ever and Evey is always asking about her! Evey had a wonderful birthday and is still talking about it.

Catching Up

The past couple months have been super busy, Evey turned four and with that comes a party! I helped host my best friends baby shower. I had a birthday myself. I decided to take a last minute trip to Vegas for some R&R, after all it won't happen again for a LONG time. All while working overtime night shift at the hospital. I wish I was a stay at home mom but thats just not in the cards for me. Liliana is due January 23rd and I'm sure with the holidays approaching she will be here before we know it! In the process of posting the past couple of months, stay tuned.
