My boob is gonna pop.

Ok well, not really, but sad day has come where I say good-bye to babyhood and hello to toddlermania. 2 nights ago, I stopped nursing Aliyah and she was totally fine with it. I think I took it harder then her. Emotionally and physically. My boob was getting so sore by the next day, pretty much throbbing or should I say screaming for someone to latch and suck(no thank you Hunter I will pass on your offer!). My friend Tasha's baby is like 2-3 months old and yesterday her mom happen to be going to a broadway show with family and she left cute little baby with my friend Jenni, well Jenni came over because baby Mya was crying and needed alittle help because her munchkin was jealous of her holding Mya. To make a long story short...NO, I did not feed her even though my boobs throb to the beat of her crying and grew a couple inches in hopes of reaching her mouth. I did offer, Jenni pretty grossed out said "umm, no". Well, today I still have a hard rock boob but no more throbbing, so babies across america stay away from me until I dry it all out.

Just to let you know I was only feeding her once right before bed for the last 3 weeks so I didn't think it would of affected me like it did.
Even though we all get anxious to be through nursing when the time actually comes it is a bit sad.
I love my little baby and how she is growing to be a big girl.

This is her where she randomly fell asleep when I propped her up on this teddy bear.
Ahh, the days of easy sleeping.

Walking

Aliyah started walking on mother's day a few steps, she caught on real fast. By her birthday she had it pretty good, now she is almost running she is so fast. The cutest thing ever. Oh, they grow up so fast! I can't stand it!

Jumping


Jasmine and Hunter went out one day after the rain and had fun jumping in puddles. It was so cute! He took some awesome pics as I video taped from across the street (in my balcony). So I thought I would share some pictures with you.

The 2 Scares

I haven't been frightened like this since halloween 2004. No, but seriously, this is something no one with kids ever want to go thru. First, Jasmine was sitting on the ledge of our window it happen to be all the way open because I was cleaning the oven and it was stinky. Anyways, the screen popped out and so did Jasmine. It was atleast a 8 or 9 feet drop. Luckily she was ok. I went thru so many emotions in such little time.



Second, we were swimming and Aliyah knows how to swim with her floaties ON(no fear really).
Well I guess she tried to take it off and she ripped it so it floated away and she tried to go get it and guess what she found out real quick she couldn't swim with just one. I started to get her but the lifeguard had already jump in and grabbed her. She too was ok, all she did was cough and then wanted to go back in.




ANGELS ARE WATCHING OVER US.

My 32nd Birthday

That's right I am now 32 and I feel the older you get the smaller the party festivities goes. It was still a nice day. We had a friend take our whole family to a restaurant called Uno. I didn't feel bad one bit since we feed him so much at home. The rest of the day was much to do about nothing. Hunter got me these awesome, cute New Balance Shoes that are meant to be my everyday shoes instead of using my workout shoes everyday. Later that night we went over to Jenni's and it turned out to be a little surprise party with a lot of the people from work. Which was so nice of her to throw together because she had been out of town. I made my own ice cream cake because I wanted to and everyone devoured it. I am old. The End.

Aliyah's party



So for Aliyah, her theme was Ladybugs! It was cute! We painted little ladybugs on everyone's cheeks and gave them antennas. I made 5 different types of pizzas and had mac n cheese(kid food ya hear). They played pin the spot on the bug and a bug race that didn't work so well. The kids really just ran around and played themselves. I was a little tired so I didn't even care that we didn't have more games! I let Aliyah have her own cake and let her at it! She had fun being around everyone!

The cakes turned out great! The middle one was especially for Aliyah! What a treat!


The pin the dot was so funny to watch. Lolo tried pinning one on Hunter(see above) and Jasmine did really good considering she was also blind folded. Aliyah really didn't dig in to the cake she more just played with it. Jace and Jojo finished it off by digging into the cakes with their faces! What hams!

Jasmine's Party


It was a hit!Since we were away from family we had all her new friends we met out her come. Grama Donna came out this week and so she was here for it. A little piece of home helped. We had Corndogs, homemade mac n cheese and homemade pizza for food. They played the hokie pokie, limbo, the chicken dance, and hit the pinata, and then we sang happy birthday, ate cake and ice cream, and opened her presents. All the kids really enjoyed the easy games, I did too, because all I had to do was turn on the music! I made a thrown for her, which I never got a good picture of, but you can see it behind the boys in the picture above.

The Castle Cake



I love making cakes, so here is the cake that I made for my princess. It was a bit easier then I thought it would be. You just have to make sure you plan ahead for it. Everyone loved it and thought how cool.

This cinderella dress is one of the presents she got at her party.What a pretty princess!

The Start of the birthday madness!

OK so I know that I haven't written in a while, but June is our birthday month! I have been so busy preparing for parties. This is how it looks:
June 15~Jasmine's ( she just turned 3!)
June 20~ Aliyah's (she will be 1!)
June 29~ My birthday! and yes I am making my own cake! Don't ask how old.

So I have lots of different pics and video of Jasmine's birthday, which I will add. the video might take me longer because I am not the best at those.


The night before her birthday I had Cinderella call her! It was cute she loved it. 
it only cost 2.49 for Disney to do it. They have different characters too. Here is the website DisneyEnchantedCalls.com 
I video taped her, I tried to put in on speaker but, it is still hard to hear but her facial expression is priceless. Aliyah just happened to start coughing. Anyways, this was the kick off to her awesome birthday!

Tagged by my Sister

Ok so here's the deal...I got tagged by my sister to list my 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 obsessions, 3 goals, 3 random facts about me, and then I have to tag 5 other people(if I even have 5 other friends!) if I tag you I will leave you a message on your blog so you know to look and do. So here it goes...

3 Joys

1. Seeing my girls having fun and smiling!

2. Being around friends and family.

3. Shopping (even if its just grocery shopping)



3 Fears


1. Not having enough money

2.Either my family or I getting in a serious car accident.

3.My girls going through life not knowing their true worth.



3 obsessions/ collections

1. I am obsessed with Stephenie Meyer's books! Twilight, New Moon,Eclipse
and her new one The Host! I am sure I will love Breaking Dawn when it comes out. Love, Love, Love! I even dream about them. Can't wait for the movie Twilight!



2.Vacuuming! I seriously like to vacuum atleast 3 times a day.

3.Working out.




3 Goals

1.Having a body like Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.(She surprisingly is my body type).

2.Trademark my style of indoor cycling, because it IS DIFFERENT.

3.Accept that people live their own movie, so don't try to change it. I can however chose to be a memorable character in it. (I have the lead role in mine anyways!)


3 random/surprising facts about myself

1. My passion growing up was Acting in movies. It still is, but having a family takes priority. As I see it I am in a live movie of my life everyday.

2.I haven't eaten red meat since 1992.

3.If I see a bug in my house I can't squish it. I grab any sort of house cleaner or perfume and spray it to death. ( I tell my daughter its sleeping and we throw it outside so they can "wake up".)
