4th of July!

We spent the 4th at Naty's parents house because it might be the last holiday that we can spend at that house since they're looking for a new one by us. I told Naty it would be good to gather his family at his mom's house and he agreed. Also, they don't let us pop fireworks where we live and we got to do some at their house.

Here's some pics:





Naty went and bought those big ass fireworks and when he was popping them the baby was jumping so I had to go inside. The kids had a blast (esp. Bubbs), I'm glad no one got hurt!

Looking in from our bedroom, thats where the mirrors, double granite sink and nice light fixtures will be.

NEXT (friday): tape ceiling and laundry room, caulk moulding, paint ceiling and moulding
SATURDAY: do floor tile
SUNDAY: our anniversary but not sure if we'll do anything or work on the house. We'll see.....

Bathroom 2, In progress cont.

A quick picture even though he's done a lot more than this. The walls are actually DONE! all we need is the floor, cabinet, granite top, wall lighting, and shower doors.

Good Progress on Bathroom2

Naty just stopped working on the bathroom cause he was working overtime and we had parties to go to but this weekend he said NO MORE PARTIES and got to work cause we never know when the baby is coming. Him and his dad did a lot and are almost done! I can't believe it!

Closing Ceremonies and a Champ!

Before the first game...team having "The talk"
Baseball is now officially over! AMEN! I love baseball BUT I wanted a break already, I'm getting heavy and tired so I needed a break. We had our closing day ceremonies this past weekend on June 13th and Bubbs team took 1st place as champions for the AA division. He got a nice medal to add to his last years win.

Closing day was bittersweet. I'm glad the stress of it all is over but then I'm sad that I won't have anything to do now. LOL! I was waiting for this time to come and now that it's here, I'm bored out of my mind. I have so much to do to get ready for the baby but haven't done much. I have 6 weeks left till the baby gets here and I have ALOT to do, including the bathroom I wrote about (down below), its still a mess and missing a floor. But anyway! there's a good explanation for that! My hardworking hubby has been working overtime and we've been having parties every weekend to go to so thats why he hasn't worked on it. Now this saturday is my granny's b-day dinner and sunday is open so we're hoping he'll work on it then.
My mom and Steph are still here and leaving this weekend so that is when I'll be sorting through the closet and putting Nate's clothes in there, him and Audrey will be sharing a closet, then I can get that dresser out of there and buy a new one. I just want organization and want this place ready cause I know I won't be able to do alot once my baby is here.

What else??? I really need to start looking for summer projects for the kids because they're bored out of their minds. I'll be making a trip to michael's and looking for little crafts and looking online as well.

Overall, boring!! which is better than drama, I'll take boring over drama anyday!

Angels T-Ball

Audrey had her last game on 5/30 and she hit off the pitcher! She did so good and we're so proud of how much she's improved! She's been very good since the beginning but now she's doing alot more that I can't believe. After the last game they had a pizza party for the kids and I took a pic of her little friends. These are the only 4 girls on the team. They still have closing day ceremonies were they will get their trophies.

Bubbs has his last season game tomorrow then the 2 championship games. If they win the game on June 9th, then they'll play again on the 11th, so we'll see.

I Graduated!

from CSUF with my bachelor's in Health Science and I'm glad that step in my life is OVER! I have one more step of PA school and receiving my Master's but for now I'm enjoying being a university graduate!

It was a semi-hot day and I wasn't too thrilled, at 7 months pregnant things can feel worse than what they really are. I had alot to complain about but the most important was that I had my family there with me and I was graduating!

Oh and I also forgot my damn memory card so you have to wait till I get the other pics from the disposable camera (gggrrr).

P.S. I forgot to mention how puffy my hair got! I was there since 6:30AM and the air was misty and cold and when it got hot....POOF went my hair! uuhhh

Bathroom 2, In progress

Bathroom 2 is completely destroyed! Now, the question is...when will it be done?! Naty wants it done before the baby comes so he has 12ish weeks to reach his goal but I want it done faster than that so here's the breakdown...

(X) Weekend of 4/25: move wall in laund/Bath to make bathroom bigger, destroy laund room and replace drywall.
(X) Weekend of 5/2: new copper pipes under the house, run new cold/hot pipes to laundry room, make hole in wall outside for new dryer location.
(X) Weekend of 5/9: completely destroy Bathroom
Weekend of 5/16: repiping for shower, moving sewer drain (or whatever its called) to a new location (toilet is moving)
Weekend of 5/23: NOTHING, my graduation on Saturday and nieces baptism on Sunday, but maybe on memorial day he'll put new lighting and new roof, install tub, and rock on walls to support tile
Weekend of 5/30: tile going up! tile tile more tile, walls and floor
Weekend of 6/6: painting last minute things like ceiling and moulding, put up new lighting over sinks, mirrors, install double sink and toilet
Weekend of 6/13: shower doors, cabinets and last minute things, should be done!

So we're on week 4 of 8

From there we have to finish the laundry room. Which will be installing cabinets, lights, moulding and finishing drywall.

Our Finished Bathroom

I never got around to uploading pictures of our finished bathroom so here it goes:




We finally have a finished and functioning bathroom! You don't know what that feels like. We only had 1 bathroom for about a year and now he decided to break down the other bathroom so we're gonna be going back to 1 bathroom soon, LOL. I told him this time it better not take that long! We have our wall and glass tile picked out but still have to look for our shower tile which we'll probably do sunday. But so far so good on the designing! its really fun!

Lots of Updates

Last time I was here was in February, nothing great... Naty and I went out for valentine's dinner and came home right after





March
Was my 28th B-day, we again, went to go eat and went to the movies with the kids. Since I'm pregnant I can't really celebrate the way I wanted so food, movies and kids were my choice. Also, baseball season started in March and the kids have been playing for a month now. Audrey really loves it and Bubbs likes it, haha. They're both really good and have lots of friends that make it even better for them. Oh and this month I found out that we were having a boy so March was really exciting. Oh and I can't forget about Disneyland, we had a lot of fun and the kids loved it. I'm glad we went then cause I still wasn't too big. Lots of fun!

April
This month its been the same, baseball and school. Bubbs has 2 games a week and 2 practices a week and Audrey has 2 practices a week and 1 game a week which enough! We're constantly at the park and going back and forth. Also, Easter was this month and we spent it at home with a couple of people like granny, marie, arthur, nellie, rudy, naty's parents, his brothers and the kids. It was really laid back and not so stressful since I started working on things days before.





Right now I have about 3 weeks left of school which I'm counting down and I graduate this May as well, I'm not really wanting to do the ceremony anymore but Naty really wants me to.

Overall, everyone is well, thank God and we're just waiting for this baby!
