A boy or a girl and another dog!

My husband and I went to meet his daughter at a 3D ultrasound to find out what she is having. She is only 16 weeks so that is why she decided to do a 3D. We were there for an hour and a half. The tech was trying so hard to wake this tiny baby up but baby was not going to have it. After about an hour of searching and trying to wake the little one up, baby finally decided to move around. We were all so excited but I guess it was going to teach us a lesson. It crossed it's legs. The tech did get a glimpse of what she was looking for but could not tell us for sure! She said she was leaning towards a girl. H already has a boy. So, we are hopeful!! She is going back again Saturday morning after she drinks cold water and eats some sweet food. I guess the sugar makes the baby a little hyper and so does the cold water. We can't wait to find out for sure.

It is so crazy having my daughter ready...I mean READY...to deliver and now  waiting to find out what my step daughter is having. That will make five little people soon. I love babies. I love to spoil them. I never thought at my age I would have 5 grand babies. I didn't even think I would have 2. I am blessed a million times over.

A few days ago a little Chihuahua sat on our driveway. She would come closer every few minutes. My husband decided to give the dog a treat. Little by little she would come closer. After about an hour of her inching closer. The dog decides that she found a forever home. We already have a male Golden Retiever. I really don't need a female Chihuahua. I don't think that mix would be cute at all. I don't even think that is possible!! Now she is sleeping in the laundry room because there is no way I will allow a dog in my bed. I won't even allow our golden in the house. Now, I know you are all thinking OMG!!!! But, I am sorry, dog hair and I do not get along. I am a clean freak. We have wood floors and I would see every hair that he would shed if I let him in..  Our dog is spoiled rotten and loved very much. I just can't have an animal in my house. In the winter he has a warm dog house with a big fluffy Costco pillow in the garage. We have a big back yard that we spent a lot of money landscaping. It is all his. The house, is mine!
 I don't have the heart to send this little dog that thinks he found his forever home back out on the streets. Our neighbor said he saw her a few times roaming around. I wish she had a collar so I could just call the owners and let them know I found their dog. I think my husband has become very attached to this new dog. I, on the other hand, want to put an add in the paper tomorrow and see if anyone claims her, or wants her, or knows someone who wants her. I don't want her.
 She actually gets along with our golden. We stay out in the backyard when they are together. I really don't think they would make cute puppies. She is also so sweet. Not your typical chihuahua.. Maybe chihuahua mixed with wiener. I'm not really sure. She follows us all around and she is loving and great with the kids.

We didn't find out if the baby was a boy or a girl. However, we have a dog I guess I will just have to wait to see how I am feeling about her tomorrow. Then wait to see if the baby will be awake and not so modest on Saturday.

Married to Jonas

I know...You might think I am a little weird. I can't help it. I love this show!!! I am from New Jersey and I am Italian.So are Dani's parents. I could close my eyes and swear that my parents are the ones on that show., I am in love with Dani. She is so sweet and laid back. I especially love that they are young and full of God!  Kevin and his family are so close. Everything on that show speaks, family.

My daughter told me about the show and told me that I had to watch it. It is on Sunday nights on E! A couple of episodes went by and my daughter asked if I had watched it. I told her no! Needless to say.. She was on the phone with me making sure I had my TV set on E and made sure I watched it Sunday night. I was so glad that I did.
Now, every Sunday night at 10:00 here in California. I am on the couch with popcorn, ready to watch my new favorite show. It never disappoints!
If you get a chance to watch it. DO! You will fall in love with this couple,
 and their family, and you will laugh. Reality TV gets bashed all the time. This show is not like the others, where every other word is bleeped out. Married to Jonas is fun and real. Great family values and a love for God.
Hope you get a chance to watch it. Let me know what you think!

                                            Weekend is right around the corner. Can't wait!!

Has anyone ever had a migraine. Not just any migraine, but one that last three days? Now, I feel so blessed. Now, it is only a headache!! It took me down big time! I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.
Today I brought my baby boy to school. His little sister was up with the tummy flu all night. My daughter called me and she sounded so drained. She is over being pregnant. Add being up all night with a sick little one and that is recipe for disaster. So I took J to school and picked  him up. We went out for a late lunch and had a good day. I love him so much.

Well, today is the last day of summer. I am not hearing any of it. The way I look at it, if it is still 100 degrees out it is still going to be summer to me. I will not let go of it until I have to.  The nights are getting shorter and there are Christmas decorations on the whole right side of Hobby Lobby and every blog had beautiful fall decorations up. However, to me, it is still summer. We ate out on the patio tonight and I still have my air set at 79. I am wearing my beloved tank tops and shorts and my favorite flip flops. How in the world can it be fall?? Oh well, I guess I will enjoy it while it lasts.

What is your favorite season?

                                           Let the hot weekend begin. Enjoy!

September 18, 2012


Not much happening on this blog. I guess I like reading blogs more then I like writing them. I do have some exciting stuff going on in my world. My daughter is going to have a baby in about 3 weeks. We have shopped, organized, shopped and shopped til there is no more to buy! I can always find something to buy!!

I am so excited about this baby. It will be her last. So, it will be my last. She has two already. J is 5 and B is 2 1/2. So this baby will have to take it's time growing up. To say I love her babies is an under statement. They are my life!!!

I hope to someday add pictures to this blog. Maybe if I stop reading so many I may find time to write in mine. I want to come back here and remember all the fun we have had in my world.
Life is so busy and summer has been so much fun that I can only find time to do a few things on the side. So, I read other blogs.Ha!

I am not looking forward to fall. I.LOVE. SUMMER. The hot days and the warm nights, longer days to play. A very small part of me is looking forward to crisp cool air. I feel naughty saying that!! My heart will always cling to summer Living in California is not so bad though. I do live in higher elevation so we get some snow and below freezing nights. But the sun shines everyday.  The weather is mild and I wouldn't want to live in any other state.

So, Hopefully pictures will come. More posts, and maybe a tour of my Casa. Who knows! I may or may not post for another 6 months. I know one thing. As soon as that baby is born, I won't be reading or writing any blogs for a long time. I will be loving that baby. All 3 of them. I told my daughter that she is the incubator. Once they are born,Then they are mine...Just Kidding. Well, kind of! :)

                                           Have a great week everyone!
