Alex's Birthday

Happy Birthday, Alex! Today was his 25th birthday, & we had Bethany & Dorian over for grilled chicken to celebrate. He fixed his chicken the "Belizean way" & grilled it outside in the cold, brrr! It was delicious though! I didn't get many pictures but I did get a couple of him, so here he is, all 25 years. :)

Things I'm Thankful for

Here are a few of the things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving. Last week our fridge quit working with no warning whatsoever. I'm not sure what was wrong, but my dad couldn't fix it, so we had to get a new fridge. It was a stressful experience, but I am very happy with my new fridge, which has a bottom freezer that gives me the width I needed. We got it at a discount because of a couple scratches & such where it was scraped across the front, which I have covered with magnets :) . Also I have to share how thankful I am to have my happy, healthy baby boy! After having a miscarriage in Dec. 06, I worried a lot about having another baby. I am so happy that I didn't have any problems with AJ, & that I now have my precious boy to treasure! We are very blessed to have our two beautiful children, & even though sometimes I feel overwhelmed with them, I am so thankful that God has chosen me to be their mother! I am so thankful to have the love of these two sweet children!
Also, I am very thankful to have great supportive parents who have helped us out so much when we have needed it. They bought me new glasses last year when I lost mine in their pond (we tipped over dad's new canoe while trying it out for the first time), & got me new frames again last week so I wouldn't have to wear my glasses all taped together since Aaliyah broke them a while ago. So I am thankful for the new glasses that don't fall off of my face & the parents that so generously got them for me! Love you!

AJ

I can't believe how fast the time goes by when they are babies! AJ is growing up to fast! He turned 7 months old last Thursday. He still doesn't have any teeth, but he is fussy & constantly wanting to nurse, so maybe he's gonna get some in the next few days. Alex & the kids are finally over their colds for the most part, & are doing much better this week. I have been taking pictures of AJ trying to crawl, & I put together a little scrapbook of them here.

Cold season, ughh!

I have been looking forward to today because Alex & I were supposed to get a night out away from the kids, just us, so we could celebrate our anniversary. Well, so much for my hopes, because Aaliyah woke up with a cold Thursday morning & gave it to both AJ & Alex by Friday. We are supposed to be on insurance now, but I don't have any cards yet, so I don't know about taking the kids to the doctor. Aaliyah has asthma like me & has been having to take breathing treatments for the past couple days, & AJ has a runny nose & congestion. So instead of a date with my husband, I'm stuck at home taking care of a sick family & hoping I don't get sick also. On top of that, the kids haven't been sleeping at night, so I'm worn out & really want to sleep all night! I am disappointed that we aren't getting our date this weekend, but maybe we'll get a chance next weekend. It seems like forever since we have gone on a date so I probably wouldn't know what to do with myself anyway. :)
Well, on a slightly more positive note, AJ has really been trying to crawl. He looked so cute last night, rockin back & forth on his knees trying to figure out how to go. He has already been getting into everything he can reach while in his walker, & while scootin himself all over the floor on his belly. I'm not lookin forward to havin him crawlin everywhere too, but I know it's gonna happen soon! He still doesn't have any teeth through yet (thank goodness for me cuz he's a little biter!) but he likes to chew on everything right now. I took some pictures of him today & am posting them here.

3 Years of Marriage

It's been 3 years already! I almost can't believe it. November 12, 2005 was the day that we said our vows together in a litttle church in Modesto, CA. So much has happened in those 3 years, and yet when I look back it seems like it all went by so fast. I can still picture the very first time I saw Alex, in the cafeteria of HSBC. We met & started dating in Sept. '04 during the chaotic times of hurricanes & evacuations, but it seemed to make us grow a bond that much faster. It didn't take long to know I was completely smitten :). Throughout the past 4 years that we've been together we have endured a lot of life's tests, & yet we somehow managed to come through it all together. Well anyway, I thought I'd post some more of our wedding pics, since not many people have seen them. Happy Anniversary to the love of my life, Alex Tun!

Thank Heaven for Little Boys!




My little cutiepie in his pjs from Aunt Trina. The bib says Thank Heaven for little boys on it. I thought he looked adorable in them so I snapped a few pics of him.

Life is sweeter if it's spent
with a little boy who's heaven sent!
so thank the heavens up above
if you have a little boy to love!
