Chuck E. Cheese

My family went to Chuck E. Cheese today to meet up with my Aunt Judy to exchange belated Birthday presents. We chose to meet at Chuck E. Cheese because the kids have been asking to go all week ever since we accidentally (Yes I mean ACCIDENTALLY) drove passed one. We were hoping they wouldn't notice but as soon as they saw Chuck E. Cheese they were begging us to go. So we took them today instead. They had a blast as usual. I took Ronde around to all the rides and my sister took AJ around to all the games. Chuck E. came out and waved "hi" to all the kids. Ronde was so sweet! He said hi and gave Chuck E. a hug.

An Uneventful Week

Well you may have noticed that I don't have much to blog about this week. We haven't done much this week except for go for walks/ bike ride and go to my mom's house to visit. I really wanted to take the kids to the beach again but there was a heat advisory warning today which turned out to be the complete opposite. We had a small thunderstorm and the rest of the day was so cloudy and cool.

I've decided that I want to get back into reading again. I'm going to finish the book Fireworks over Toccoa. Today I turned off the TV and told the kids it was time to read. They each grabbed a book and read to themselves for abut 5 minutes, then the TV was back on and they were back to making noise. The only time I have to read is when the kids are in bed!

(This is a big book for such a lil boy but it's his favorite. Every page has a black and white picture of an airplane. He loves it)
( I love Ronde's little toes in this pic. He is growing up too fast!!)

Here are a few pics of my goofy kids. We were just getting back from my mom's house and the kids wanted me to take pictures of them before we went inside. So I did. Ronde wasn't wearing a shirt because he peed on it while he was using the bathroom..lol. Oh motherhood!!!

Wordless Wednesday

34 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 34 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 23 1/2 lbs gained.

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing them.

Sleep: I feel like I have insomnia lately. I go to bed so late and it takes me forever to fall asleep. Then I wake up in the middle of the night just wide eyed. My lovely kids then wake me up at 7am bright and early!

Best Moment this week: Receiving the coming home outfit from my mom and Jamal's personalized pacifiers came in the mail!!

Gender: It's a boy..Jamal Jaxon

Movement: He's been stretching a lot lately. I think he is tired of being cooped up inside of me. His heart rate today was 135 and I'm measuring at 35 weeks.

Food Craving: Junk food..donuts and carbs (sad face) Going to try and cut that out of my diet for the rest of my pregnancy

What I miss: Ok ok..A margarita sounds really good right now.

What I am looking forward to: Ultrasound August 16th!!

How Big is Baby: He is now 4.7 pounds and just shy of 18 inches long!

Symptoms: Let's just say, I go through a roll of toilet paper in 2 days! Also having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions


Just wanted to throw in some pics of my little boys :)

Top 2 Tuesday

Today's Top 2 Tuesday topic is favorite perfume/cologne/scent.

1. I always alternate between Gucci Envy me and Gucci II. It takes me forever to finish a bottle of perfume. Especially with Gucci because it is very strong.

I like Envy Me for when I'm dressed casual or running errands.


My husband bought Gucci II for my birthday last year. I like to wear it when I'm dressed up for going out or when I'm spending the day with my husband.


2. My second choice is a lotion I bought from Bath and Body works called Forever Sunshine. This scent reminds me of summer. I always keep a little bottle of this in my purse. It has hints of apricot, pink peonies and praline.


I have a doctors appointment for my 34 week visit tomorrow at 5:30pm. I will do my 34 week update after that appointment. I can't believe I only have 6 more weeks!! I hope it goes by so0o0o VERY fast!!

Misc Monday

1. My driver side window is broken. It won't automatically roll down anymore which makes going through the drive thru Starbucks impossible :/ So now I always go to the Starbucks in Target. Kill 2 birds with one stone... I get my iced soy latte and walk around and shop at one of my favorite stores..ha! This morning Ronde told me he wanted to go to Starbucks. Then AJ said he wanted to go to Target. I think they are picking up on my bad habits. In fact, I know they are..AJ asked for his chocolate milk with 4 slenda's..ha!!

2. So we went and I bought this.. I'm pretty much obsessed with clothes right now. I can't wait to have Jamal so I can really go shopping. Since he will be born in September, I'm doing an early start on fall clothing since I missed the whole summer season. I also recently got a really nice cropped jean jacket from New York and Company for only $7.99!!

3. This has been the hardest pregnancy of my life. To do it by myself while taking care of 2 kids has been especially hard and tiring. I sometimes feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. My emotions are completely out of whack this time around. I know it will all be worth it when I see Jamal's precious little face. I really miss Andre and can't wait for his A School to be over with so we can all move and live under one roof again. 5 more week until we get to see Andre again!

4. I would really love a mini vacation on the beach... Just rent a hotel room for a night or two with some of my favorite girls and relax on the beach. Go out to eat, watch the sunset, talk and laugh, and just be free from the stress of everyday. No schedule or kids... just go with the flow.

A Special Gift and Girls Night

My mom came over today to babysit my kids. When she came over, she brought this box from Nordstroms. It was a coming home outfit she picked out for Jamal. It's so adorable!! It came with a hat and has little sailboats all over. I wanted something with sailboats on it since Andre is in the Navy. I love it and can't wait to bring Jamal home in it!! It's so much more special since my mom picked it out for him.
My mom watched my kids for me tonight so I could have a break and do a little shopping and dinner with one of my bestfriends, Sonia. We went to the mall. I bought this purse that I love!!
Then we went out to eat at Applebees. It was so good. I haven't eaten there in years. I ordered chicken fajitas..yum! It was a very relaxing and much needed break from my kiddos.
