I Feel Lucky

 No matter how crazy they Genne drive me or how hard my days get, they can always manage to put a smile on my face.

A Sweet Polite Girl Underneath all that Sass

Me: Genne, try the chicken and zucchini

Genne: No thank you mama... I'll eat the rice now.

This girl is something else♥ 

One Year Older

We celebrated Matt birthday on Sunday and I even put some afford to it by making breakfast, dinner and even one yummy cake . Genne help all the way and was very excited about helping me make a cake for daddy. We were able to celebrate with Brian and Brittany and our adorable niece... I am so glad they decided to come down and hang out with on Matt's special day.

I love you Matt and thank you for all you are doing for our family and also for being the most awesome father and husband ever♥

♥HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATT!♥

It is Not the Easiest Thing but I Sure Enjoy it.

I sure love being those kiddos's mom and I am really grateful that they pick me to help them prepare to go live with our Heavenly Father again ( Just hope they knew what they were getting themselves unto). Staying home with them are not always easy... Some days, I am too tired, grumpy, a too little sleep and REALLY TIRED too deal with them, however at the end of the day I am glad I got to spend it with them.  Having them in my life have really thought me a awful lot about sacrifices, selfless love and pure happiness. Even when I am having the worst day ( which doesn't happen often because I am married to the most amazing guy ever), they can still put a smile in my face and remind of how good my life is and how everything else doesn't really matter much.

 How sweet are they?!

 Who wouldn't LOVE to spend ALL DAY with those two if you could♥

Off to School He Goes...

Alex started his first day of pre-school today and he did so very well. I was really nervous because they put him in a regular class instead of  the early prevention's one. His class only have 5 kids and they are boys which is nice since he spends all his days with girls, ha ha ha!. They have 4 to 5 specialist working with him during the week so I am looking forward to seeing his progress. Another great news of today, he went potty in the toilet at school when all this time he is scare of the one at home... Maybe now, he is not so scare of it anymore?! That is one bit of progress and the teacher also said that he did so very well in school and already making scissors out of play dooh ( he learned to use scissors in school today).

 We are also thinking of registering Genne for pre-school also.  She was so excited talking about her turn to go to school all morning and even put on her Dora backpack that her aunt Brittany made her and talked about her school while we were walking Alex to his class. When she got in the classroom, she made herself at home and was really excited to "play" until it was time for us to go then she was so very upset and complaining that we figure that she would love to go to school with brother and learn all the fun things that she can learn. I think, she will love it. If we can get her in the same one with Alex and won't have to pay, then she will be starting school soon.

So proud of this little guy and hope he have a great school year!!!!

Tired little guy after a long day of 3 1/2 hours of pre-school!

Potty Training Day V... Last Update!

Ok, this is my official last day of reporting Genne's potty training journey... It have been five days of roller coaster. We were happy, excited, anxious, disappointed, irritated and most importantly PROUD. I am so proud on how awesome and fast she learned through this whole process. Today, she finally poop in the toilet and I think that is a great accomplishment and I am really so proud of her. 

My baby girl is growing up, it is sad but she has too and she is turning unto quiet a wonderful young lady.   She is like my little mini-me and already enjoy doing the same things I did when I was a kid. playing hide & seek, color and dancing and driving someone loco ( I still enjoy that very much from time to time), ha ha ha!

I LOVE THAT GIRL and she is the perfect daughter for me♥

ON HER WAY TO BECOMING EVEN MORE INDEPENDENT 

Potty Training Day IV

Yesterday, she did really well and stayed dry all with a pooping accident. Altough, I am not really county it as a accident since she was still dry anyway, but now she knows where she needs to go poopy in the toilet as well.
I was sitting on the stair when she passed by me and I smelled something stinky, so I ask her if she went poopy and she said yes. I told her nicely that she also needed to go poop in the toilet when she needed to do and all she said was:  " I sorry, mama". I felt so bad because I was kind of irritated that she poop in her underwear, so I guess she figure I wasn't happy about it because after I was done cleaning her up and explain to her again that she needed to also poop in the toilet she said: " Ok mama,"  She can be so sweet and understanding sometimes that I forgot she is ONLY three.
 We are moving in the right direction and hoping to be able to venture outside soon with accidents free. She also got a new present for staying dry all day and letting me know that she needs to do :)

Potty Training Day III

I think she finally got this potty training business. Today, we went THE WHOLE DAY with NO ACCIDENTS. I can barely believe it because I thought it was supposes to take her days or even weeks to get it but as always she surprise me and become a big girl without diapers today. I know, there will still be accident but at least I know that she understand what going on and how it all suppose to happen and what is expecting of her.

To celebrate, she got to call aunt Lisa and had some ice cream. On his way home, Matt got her a little presents for staying dry ALL DAY!  DID I MENTION THAT I AM SUPPER DUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS... I was so scare to start potty training her because i had no idea how i was going to do this and also thought i was going to spend my whole day/s/week cleaning up accidents on the carpet... She actually only had three yesterday and one of them was in front of the potty ( did not make it on time). She told me she has to go today, before she actually started to go and pee in the potty. Alex took a four hour nap today ( because he was up all night doing who knows what in his room) so Genne and I got to hang out jiust the two of us and played ALL kind of games and dances. She is quiet a fun little kiddo underneath all that attitude and sassyness, ha ha ha!

 We had ice cream

play hide&seek... We need to work on the hide part of the game but still fun.

 We learned the macarema

 Had some outside fun

Playing with her new presents for staying dry all day and telling mommy when she needed to go.

♥PROUD OF MY BIG GIRL♥ SHE IS GROWING UP SO FAST.

Potty Training Day II

Day 2 in the morning was brutal. She has three accidents in the space of an hour and I was starting to get really frustrated because she was screaming and yelling again. However, around 11 o'clock she was starting to stop fighting whenever I will put her in the toilet and went without a problem and  NO ACCIDENTS. She still always say no whenever I ask her if she has to go but I just keep putting her every 15 to 30 min in the potty.
Between potty, we did some fun activities. We played games, legos and hangout in the backyard and I took some pictures of our fun day because I too needed to be entertain through this all process.
