Happy Birthday Anuhea!

Oh where did the time go??? My little "Anu" is one years old. She is such a happy little girl!

I remember so well the day I found out out I was pregnant to the moment I first held her! Now she's growing so fast!

Love this picture of Anuhea and Her Daddy! they were dancing and she laid her head on his shoulder the whole time. How sweet my baby girl and my handsome husband.

We did a Hello Kitty theme party for her and it was fun! All the decorations were so cute! We had a blast. The food, cake, bouncer, face painting, and DJ was awesome!

Cameron and I took a trip to LA and got all of her Decorations for a really good price. I think I was going crazy over the decorations. I just wanted everything to be perfect for her!
The cupcakes and the cake was a Hit at the party everyone loved them. They were gone in minutes! I didn't even get a chance to have any :( Poor Malia was kicking away because I didn't let her taste....lol...bad Mommy!

We did a small little party for her on her actual Birthday and it was a hard day for me because everything we went through in that year.

My Dearest Anuhea!

You will never know how much you mean to Mommy and Daddy! You make the world such a better place. You take away our fears, stressful days and turn them into laughter and loving moments for us!

Happy Birthday Anuhea!

9 months!

Wow! 9 months My Anuhea is! It is going by so fast. She is such a joy and I still look at her everyday and am amazed that she is mine!

she is such a happy baby. She waves Hi and Bye all the time. Especially to her Dog (Siva). If you ask her what a Lion does? and Growl she will growl back. Its the funniest thing. She shakes her head side to side when you say "no". She gives Kisses and hugs. Dances to any kid of music or song you sing to her. She loves Dogs and the water! But most of all she loves food!! My goodness the way she eats she should be way bigger for her size. She def. has Daddy's appetite.


we have already started planning her 1 yr b-day party! I am so excited but sad at the same. The last two days I went through all of her pictures from the day she was born to now and I cried at all the videos we had of her and just in awww with her. I want her to stay like this forever. She truly is the greatest thing ever. I love being her Mom and just to see her Smile or when I come through the door and she is there waving at me melts my heart every time!


Here are some videos of her at the beach. she is too much. I should have known she would do this???

Its a GIRL!!

Yes! Our Baby girl is Due June 11 my Birthday. Anuhea was due on May 11 Cam's Birthday. 11 is our lucky number! I have a thing for number 11! I am going to admitt I was a little sad and shed a couple of tears it was a girl. Just because I wanted a boy so I could be done. Pregnancy is really hard on my body. Cam was so excited and so am I. He said we could stop after this one but me being the crazy person I am and know how much Cam and I both want a boy! We are going to keep on trying. Were just going to give it a couple of years!! lol.

Actually having a girl works out best for us financially because we have everything already. but you know me I am still going to shop a little for our new baby girl!..haha

Question is should I have a baby Shower or Not. I would do a very small one?? My Mom amd Mother In Law say yes for sure!!???

all settled in....

We made the move and boy it took a toll on me! Moving while in your first trimester is no bueno! I was so tried and lets just say that was Anuhea's last road trip for awhile. I was so happy to move to home and things really fell in to place for us.

We were moving home with a little surprise to our plans we had for or future. I am pregnant!! Little did I know I was until I was 2 months along. I almost had a heart attack. I was so overwhelmed I couldn't believe it. I was taking my BC pills but little did I know when my BC got switched to a low dose because of still having high blood pressure i was suppose to use a back up method for at least 3 months. A fact I was told by my sister who has no kids...lol.

It took me awhile to get over the shock but I am grateful to be able to have another child on the way. From being told by Dr's when I was diagnosed with a thyroid problem years ago that it could possible be hard for me to conceive to now having 2 kids that will be 14 months months apart! Cameron is so excited and while his plans for Master's has been put on hold he ended up landed a great opportunity with Chase Bank as a Personal Banker. Hoping for growth with the company and to obtain his Master's also. So proud of him!

I get to be a stay at home wife for a while and while I love it so far it has been a challenge for me to accept I am not bringing in any money to our household. I have been working since I was 16yrs old. But I know I will love the fact that I get to be home with my babies for awhile. coming from a family where my Mother and Father both worked full time and were not able to stay home just stayed in my head that was going to happen to me and nope here I get the chance!

Since being back we have been able to see family and friends and all the dinners they have hosted for us has been awesome and delicious.

Anuhea is loving all the attention she is getting by both sets of Grandparents, Auntie's , Uncle's, cousin's, and close family friends. She has been getting spolied rotten.

Siva is loving she has a back yard to run free and has a playmate Roxy( my In-law's dog). When we bring her in for the night she goes straight in the room and plops on the floor to five mins later she is knocked out and snoring away. I have woke up in the middle of the night blaming Cam for snoring and it's really the dog!! hahah.

Were waiting on one more angel!!!!!

Good Bye Ogden.....Hello again Oceanside

OMG! I am soooooooo happy. In 1 week we move home to Oceanside for good.

It's bitter sweet for my Husband he has lived here for 5 yrs but not for me. I will never ever leave my oceanside again. I am so thankful from where I come from and was raised. "I just want to be with my own family..." sounds like a song...lol... I hope this move goes fast and smooth.

We are flying my brother in law on tuesday and he is going to help us drive the u-haul. I hope we dont catch snow but my luck Utah will just bring that my way for sure.

Can't wait for a fresh start and to be with all of our family and friends again.

Life...

Four us is going to get pretty crazy for us soon. Have some news but cant spill the beans yet!

Promise soon though!

one phone call and 2hrs later....

We were on the road home to Cali!

About 2 Friday's ago I got a phone call from my Mother-in-law @ 8 am. Asking If Cameron was right next to me. I actually was in the living room on the other line trying to sell our mini fridge on Ksl.com. I told her he was asleep and she just started balling. I couldn't understand her and I started shaking because all I could hear was his Dad had a Heart Attack and she was on her way to the hospital and she didn't know what was going on.

I had to think a minute how I was going to wake up my husband and tell him "your mom called and your Dad had a heart attack?" I was so nervous to go in the room and tell him. I knew it was going to be bad. I asked him him to wake up and come out of the room because i had to tell him something? he wouldn't come. After I told him I didn't want to wake the baby he sat up and yelled at me" just tell me". All I said was Your Mom called and he started crying and then I finished the rest. He cried so hard and was shaking so bad I thought he was going to have a heart attack. He was so emotional he couldn't even dial his Mother's phone Number.

So after 5 mins of thinking I got on the computer and called my sister to help me find a ticket to fly Cam home. Well we didn't know what was going on and his brother and sisters were calling and we all came to a agreement we should all come just to prepare for the worst.

In 2 hours

* I drove to Best Buy to tell them my Husband was not coming in to open/pick up his check
* called all of our bosses to notify them of the situation
* Did 2 loads of laundry
* sold the Mini Fridge and it was picked up
* packed all of our stuff
* packed up our dog and her belongings
* cleaned out the car/packed up the car
* went to the bank
* got Gas

And we were off to see Our Dad!

We made it there at 10pm because the last 3 hrs Anu was not having it and we had to make lots of stops also if she cries for too long according to our Dog Siva. Siva will start crying also. So a baby and a dog crying at the same time is not the best situation.

We went straight to my Mothers who watched our Dog because we didn't want Siva in the car any longer then she had to be. I was going to leave Anu with my Mom also because I didn't know if it would be a good ideal to bring her too. But we did.

We got to the hospital and we were greeted by just Cameron's Immediate Family and was so nice for all of us to be together.

Cam got to see his Dad in the NICU and it brought tears to my eyes that were in a position and God blessed us to be by our Dads side.

We ended up staying for a week. I will post all the pics soon.

Splash time!

Anu loves the water so much.

What you Can and Cannot change.....

There are many things you can change, and there are many things you simply cannot change. Both kinds of things can add value to your life.

With the things you can change, you have the opportunity to improve the circumstances in your own life and in the world around you. In dealing with the things you cannot change, you can grow stronger and develop real wisdom, patience, acceptance, and flexibility.

There is much you can learn from the things you cannot change. You can use that knowledge and experience to positively affect those things you can change.

The things you cannot change give you a base from which to work. The things you can change give you an ever-increasing world of possibilities.

By gently accepting what you cannot change and finding positive ways to deal with it, you lay the groundwork for success. By understanding what you can change and finding positive ways to put that change to work, success and achievement begin to happen.

What a blessing it is to live in a world where there are both things you can change and things you cannot. Each turn of events, in its own way, gives you the opportunity for adding richness to life.
-- Ralph Marston

Have a great day!!! : )

Love this. I read it everyday and it helps me when I get mad or sad. I tell myself there are some things I will never be able to change!

Labor Day weekned

My Sister and my Mom flew me and Anu home to surprise my Dad for his 50th Birthday. I was so nervous flying with Anu alone because she is older and more active. The first half of the flight was awesome she did great but the second half we stopped in Phoenix and had to pick up people and she was not having it. She was so fussy even before we took off that I just wanted to get off the plane and try and catch another flight. But i knew I couldn't do that.

My Dad was so happy to see us! He didn't eat his dinner he held Anuhea the whole time!!! While we were in town we got to catch my little brother's football game and I made Anu the cutest Outfit for the game, went to the beach, saw lots of family, and Anu came back with a whole new wardrobe thanks to my Dad.

Anu with her Grandma!

Tutu's

Here are some of my Tutu's I have made so far. I have many orders to do and lots of extra cash I will make. I didn't even think I would be good at theses and all the feedback I gotten back from others have been so encouraging.

Target Trip!

Spent a Total of $47.60

It took me about an hour and half in the store because this week my coupons weren't organized. Thank goodness Anuhea was a little Angel the whole time and didn't fuss once. Love her! This by far is my best trip so far.

Here is the breakdown of what i got
1 case of bolttle water
2 bottles of smart water
1 pillow
3 Nuk bottles
1 Gerber bottle
4 coasters
2 candles
2 boxes of Gerber cereal
4 (2) packs of Gerber baby food
1 bottle of tide (36) loads
1 bottle of Similac ready to go Formula
2 packs of wipes (72 count each)
1 glade air freshener
1 box of Nabisco Snacks (12 bags)
1 pack of dividers
1 bag of String cheese
1 box of pizza bites
2 bags of pre made cinnamon rolls
1 loaf of Garlic bread
1 case of La Corix drinks

Not bad. I was so happy and I took a picture of the total before the coupons which was $71.58 and an after picture with the new total and sent it to Cam on his phone while he was at work. I am so proud of myself!

4 months!

4 months old

"Anu"

My little girl is growing so fast. I hate it! She truly has changed my world and me as a person. I absolutely love being a mom. It is the greatest feeling I have ever felt. Her Dad dressed her in this outfit and finally he dressed her color coordinating. Lol. I usually come home and she is all mis match. Anuhea got her 4 months shots yesterday and boy was she fussy. I had to hold her the whole night. She would just lay on my chest and if I moved her she would cry. I was crying inside for her. I kept telling her I was so sorry and it was for her own good. She ended up falling asleep at about 11pm and woke up at 2am and every hr after that. I was exhausted the next day and I had to work. But as soon as I cam home from work this is what I came home to the picture above. she was back to herslef smiling and laughing away.

Letter Designs

Letter designs!

I made this for a friend and I just love how it came out.

Her baby boy's nursery theme is fishing/Hunting!

Move over Martha Stewart....lol

I don't know what has gotten into me but I think the my whole coupon experiences have been going so well and I have really turned frugal with stuff. (my Husband calls me cheap..lol) I have now started making Tutu's and letter's for Babies and I think I have finally found something I am really good at and love doing. Plus I am saving tons of money and now I'm actually making money. I have 3 people who are going to pay me to make them a tutu all in just one week. I love it and love having the extra cash. I have turned into a little homemaker the last month.

Also I am so excited because My stock pile or as my husband calls it "the closet that saves our lives in between pay periods"..haha has grown and has stayed so organized. I love to just stare and look at it. It took me about 9 months to build.

I will post pictures soon of all my little hobbies soon.

Updates!

Cam's parents met Anuhea for the first time @ Cam's Graduation. What a special day for them.

All the mommies and their little ones.

Okay it has been a long time since I got on here!

As soon as I got Pregnant It was horrible. I had "all day" sickness for about 5 months and as soon as that ended I had swelling bad and high blood pressure! I was put on bed rest the beg of April and Anuhea joined us on April 19 @ 5:11 am. 5lbs 4oz 18inches. I will do a post later on the delivery.

Cam graduated 5 days after Anuhea was born and it was lovely to see her at his graduation. I am so proud of him. There are some pictures above. I got to get back in the grove pf things here on my blog.

I recently went back to work part time and Cam watches her while I am work and he is working nights right now.

Siva (our Dog) has been wonderful w/Anu she loves her and wants to constantly be around her. But, I still never take my eye off of Siva with her or leave them alone together.

Just a couple of updates for now!

May 11, 2010

From the 2 of us to 3 to one on the way makes 4!!

Were expecting!!

A little one is on the way!! We had no ideal. We are our happy and nervous at the same time. I didn't think we would have one this soon. Cameron got his way. He has been wanting one since we got married!

I am still in shock but I always wanted to be a Mom.

My little baby is due on May 11, 2010 this is special to Cam and I because Cam's birthday is May 11 and mine is June 11 and were 11 months apart! 11 is our lucky number. Even if he/she doesn't arrive on the 11th is okay just to think of the odds of the first expected due date to be May 11.

We can't wait to go to our first ultrasound next month to hear the heartbeat!!!

The Molifua's are growing!!

Cameron, Audrey, Siva, And Baby Molifua!!
