I haven't wrote in a couple weeks but we have been so busy! Two weekends ago we went to a wedding, that was absolutely beautiful. It was held at the Botanical Garden. This past weekend we went to the zoo, they basically had a halloween party at the zoo. The kids had a lot of fun. I should be getting copies of pics from my mom soon! And now Friday we are having a halloween party at the house. This is our second year doing it and I think we are going to make it an annual thing! Next weekend we go talk to the Father at our church to start our marriage classes, YES we are finally planning our wedding!!! It should be in June, we are hoping for the 6th. When we get married it will be 6 years!And then the 16th of November is Vincent's Baptism! Don't worry if you haven't gotten an invite yet I haven't sent them out yet. So we have been very busy to say the least!
I can't remember if I wrote this in the last blog or not but JJ is now sleeping in his toddler bed! And Vince has finally been kicked out of our bed into his own room. Jj is now going on the potty atleast 3 times a day! This excites us very much. JJ is now being a kangaroo for halloween instead of a giraffe. Vincent went to the doctor the other day and now weighs 14lbs. 12oz. He is such a moose and we love it!

Well JJ has gone pee pee on the potty 3 times over the last week. He gets very excited and proud of himself when he goes. I am hoping he will move forward with this because I can not wait to have less diapers to buy.

We were in babies r us the other day and I tried a giraffe costume on JJ and when I tried to take it off he threw a fit kicking and screaming in the middle of the store. So I decided to buy it instead of battling him in the middle of the store, figuring I could return if I decided we didn't like it. So I let him wear it until we get to the check out line and he still refused to take it off. so I had to rip the tag off just so the lady could ring it up. He wore it out to the car and I finally had to wrestle it off him because it was still in the high 90's that day and I was not letting him get in the car seat like that.

So I guess JJ is going to be a giraffe and Vince already had a lion costume that I had bought my niece when she was a baby, so it actually kind of worked out perfectly.

Vince went to the doctor Wed. because he keeps getting very minor bloody noses. Actually its only the right nostril that keeps bleeding and its not even enough to drip down to his lip but it still had me concerned because it had happened like 4 or 5 times over 2 weeks. The doctor looked at it and said she didn't' see anything and it is probably just a sensitive blood vessel in his nose but that if it happens again to bring him back in to do a blood test on his platelets. But meanwhile he already gained another 2 and a half pounds! he now weighs 14lbs 3oz!

Halloween is in the air

JJ last Halloween


Our Halloween decorations


the spider webbing that JJ thinks is a mess!


Yesterday me and JJ got out the Halloween box and started decorating. I am having a hard time believing it is already that time of the year. It has cooled off nicely here in Arizona. Last weekend it was in the high 70's low 80's and Saturday was overcast with light showers. and it is suppose to be cool again this weekend. Last year JJ was too small to trick or treat or really get into the decorations, so it has been fun seeing him react to the Halloween stuff. Although he told me when we were putting up the spider webbing, "is a mess!"

what a day

Maurin and Kyle before Londyn's appearance. Great couple!


Little Miss Londyn, absolutely precious!


Yesterday I spent with one of my best girlfriends, since freshman year of high school, Maurin, as she got ready to deliver her first baby and it was so amazing! She had me in the room to take pictures of her beautiful baby girl, Londyn. My mom picked up the kids at 6:30 in the morning. When I had gotten to the hospital they had already broken her water and was all hooked up. From then until about 5p.m. we waited for Londyn to make her appearance. Maurin dilated about a centimeter an hour but after she hit 5 cm it only took an hour and a half to start pushing, once she started pushing Londyn arrived in a quick 20 minutes. Londyn had her cord wrapped around her neck twice but the doctor quickly cut it and she was okay! Londyn was 7lbs 1 oz and 20 in.

JJ started two new phrases yesterday, " what a mess" and "let go"! And when you ask JJ who made the mess he says, " Not JJ"! I can't believe how he just really starting picking up vocabulary!

Our first blog

JJ has just turned 19 months and also turned a new leaf in his personality. They call it terrible two's but it seems more like terrible eighteen month old to who knows when this will end. He has found a new obsession over the words "NO" and "MINE"! We now find him repeating everything we say! His new sentences of the week are, "who did that?" and "where did it go?" Very charming most of the time but he definitely has been having his moments.

Vincent on the other hand is growing like a moose. He is already almost 12 pounds. We are loving his fat little rolls and chunky cheeks as we never experienced this with JJ due to his pyloric stenosis, he is still playing catch up in the weight department. We would not be surprised if Vince quickly overpowers JJ once he is mobile. Vince has been cooing and smiling and laughing a lot this past month. It is amazing how much he has grown already.

Jason is still working for a contracting company called Markham. They treat him very well there and plus he enjoys playing with all the big boy trucks! He works Monday thru Saturday and enjoys his Sundays off.

As for me I went back to work about 2 or 3 months ago as a private in home nurse, but I am not caring for the same guy I did before I had JJ. This new guy is married and has a one year old daughter who is absolutely adorable. His house is only about 8 minutes from ours so it is nice on my gas tank. I go Monday through Friday at night to get him to bed, and Thursday through Sunday in the morning to get him up. I have also recently started a baby couture web based business with my sister called Nucci Baby Couture. We have created a website, Nuccibabycouture.com and I am really enjoying this adventure with my sister. I am excited to see where the next year will take us!
