Laundry Laundry Laundry

today was not a very exciting day nor was yesterday. yesterday i just did school and homework and played with my little bella boo. today i did school and then went to forever 21 with my aunt and her little boys and helped her get some cute stuff for her trip to vegas and i got mike a new jacket that im going to surprise him with tomorrow... i hope he likes it lol.


after i got home bella took a nap and i watced tv and when she woke up i started cleaning my room blah what a disaster that was. i have to get it clean so its easier to pack ha. after awhile i called garrett and him and his band of hoodlums came with me to dragon palace. now im home and im going to stay up for most of the night and try and get most of my laundry done...


so today i called the lady at the turn key office and she said that the people in the apartment are moving out tomorrow... so next friday me and mike have a viewing since he hasnt got to see it and im thinking we will be moving in around the first!!!!!!! im so excited :]


bella has been really good lately she is into everything and more but i love her ha. she is pulling herself up on everything now she just has to figure out the one foot in front of the other and then oh man am i in trouble haha.


im super excited for this next week. saturday me mike and garrett and bella are leaving here and going to Dixon to stay with some family friends Mike And Rochelle Pauls :] and on the way we are going to stop at the winchester mystery mansion.. so i should have tons of pics when we got home.


well the next load of laundry is done so i better get off here and get it folded. im going to try to blog or whatever you call it as much as i can when im away cause i dont want to get out of the flow of doing this again. ha.

hummm

so i am absolutely terrible at keeping this thing update i always want to! its a good way for me to write everything down and come back and look at it... also i like keeping everyone updated with bella.... im just not so sure anyone is even reading this but im really going to try regardless if anyone is reading!


so right now im sitting outside my parents house and bella is sleeping and mike is out of town so i have plenty of time to write!!


i may be sitting outside my parents house now but in about 3 weeks me and mike will have our own house again! we got approved for a two bedroom apartment in templeton! its right across the street from the park and its even got a cute little yard im suuuuper excited you have NO idea!! i cant wait to move and and decorate and have my own place again!! and its even got a yard how much more can i ask for for 800 dollars a month i mean really im getting spoiled in this deal!! we have the lease signed starting october 1st but i just talked to the lady earlier and she thinks the people in it will be moved out on the 15th of this month so once they clean and change the locks and everything it will be ours!!!!


so mike has been working out of town for like 2 months now. he is in richmond.. by san fran... monday through friday of every week. its awesome money so we are making the sacrifices we have to to survive ya know! but thankfully i will be going to stay with some family friends next week about half hour from where he is working so we will get to spend that week together!! we are both pretty excited and im excited to hang out with everyone!


bella is an amazing baby let me tell you. she never fails to impress me each and everyday... nor does she fail to stress me out about everyday to but its all worth it! she weighs about 18 pounds and she is taller than about 97% of girls her age.... she definately gets that from her daddy not me!!! hahaha.... she is eating second foods so thats like all the mixed fruits and veggies and dinners... she also loves the puffs and wagon wheels! she crawls around like its her business and talks away... she is also pulling herself up and attempting to walk and crawl over things ha..


i am on my fourth class for medical billing which means i have one more class after this one.. i just started this one today and my teacher said its a hard one which means i really have to focus! ive gotten all A's except my last class i got a B... she said this class is much harder than the last so im really going to have to work my butt off... but in the end this will all be worth it to...


well i think thats all i got for tonight so im just going to sit here and enjoy it outside cause it really is nice... and i should prlly call mike and talk to him soon ha... and then i need to get in bed and try to get some sleep.....!

fam damily

ha i love that saying. anyway this weekend some of my family is coming to visit :] im super excited im sure i will have pictures to post when they leave.
anyway not much has been going on dealing with the stupid medi-cal office since im not special in there eye i sit there for an hour waiting to turn in paperwork BLAH. and my financial aid for school which they are just now telling me 5 weeks in that they gave me the wrong paperwork in the beginning so i have to fill all that out and turn it in which i was supposed to do today but bella is taking an icredibly long nap....
other than that crap not much is new bella rolls completely over now her arm no longer gets in her way and when she is eating her cereal she likes to stick her tongue out and blow rasberrys so everytime she is done eating we both have it all over our faces.... isnt she precious haha.
one kinda funny thing that happened today... apparently mike went through the wrong line at the golden gate bridge which i told him!! so they sent us a letter and we have to pay a 15 dollar toll instead of the normal like 4 dollars... retard! ha.
but thats prettty much all i have to post for right now i know my blog is like the most boring but oh well my life at this point in time just isnt that exciting lmao.

Bella - Above Average

Bella in one of her bathing suits :]
mike is so proud of how much she loves the water

bella was so happy to spend all weekend with her daddy

she is so white i love her... hahaha

playing the drums :]

today was a pretty stressfull day.. the jimmy is officially out of commision we think the water hose is going out so we put it on craigs list and we are trying to get rid of it. so for now we only have the white car which sucks...... i love the jimmy :[

we started out this morning by getting up and cleaning the jimmy then showered and all that jazz. mike had to work at one and i had to be at class at 1230 so we dropped bella off at sherrys around 12ish and she wasnt there so we left her with her uncle garrett while sherry was on her way home he said she was really good for him. all of mikes brothers are such good babysitters :] after i dropped mike off i went to class.

at class i took my final for computer basics and the class passed with 100% so im now done with computers... now i start the hard classes i dont go back to school til tuesday and on tuesday i start medical terminology im pretty nervous.... but im excited to be done with computers one class down four to go :]

after class i had to rush to sherrys to get bella to go to her doctors appt which went really well. they weighed her she is 14 pounds 13 ounces. her length is 26 inches. her head circumfrance and her length are above average... no DUH she's a birks baby for sure lmao. she had to get 4 shots but she did soooo good she only cried while she was getting them and as soon as i picked her up she was all good again. they said even though she is above average it is absolutely nothing to worry about she looks great! when the nurse walked in to give her her shots this is what she said "oh my goodness she looks just like her daddy" ha as if i dont get that ALL the time. mind you mike had gone to this office his entire life until about 3 months ago lmao. so i responded with they yeppp she's a birks baby lmao.

after bellas appt i had to run to the store and then stop to see mike on his break then i came home to finish the medi-cal pack which i was surprised was actually in english!!!!! ha. and then i had some yummy chicken dinner. bella is currently passed out in her crib shots knock her out.. and i have to stay up til 930 to go get mike blah we need another car. so if you know anyone who would want the jimmy let me know lmao we are selling it for 3000 with a really nice stereo.

the rest of the pictures will be up on my myspace :] i got some super cute ones of bella and of mychal and maries babies :]

Im Bad!

ahh im sorry i havent posted in forever plus three days. i dunno why i have massive amounts of time on my hand or i look back on the day and say hey i should have done that instead of this lmao. ever since i got my license i feel like im constantly driving... from home to drop bella off to class to back to bella to home to pick up some boys and take them home to back to home to take mike lunch blah blah... but i really should be at home folding laundry and doing my blog when bella is napping!

so anyway not much has changed with me i go to class monday thru thursday.. i passed my midterm and im almost done with computers and on to medical terminology. im incredibly addicted to farm town on face book and thats about it lmao.

but bella on the other hand is constantly changing oh man i cant believe it! i believe she is about 15 pounds now we found out for sure tomorrow at her doctors appointment and we find out if she can start eating rice cereal! i pretty much have her back on her schedule which is great. but she smiles so much is constantly kicking her feet around and wanting to laugh and scream or in bellas thinking talk lol.

we went to the park the other day and she sat in the baby swing and she LOVED it. her laugh is so amazingly cute now and she laughs at everything lol. she loves the little saucer play structure thing that mike bought her she is getting really good at grabbing things.

me and mike havent been up to much we've gone to the beach once since its been hot and it was awesome! i plan to take bella soon of course i will smother her white little body in sun screen haha boy she could use some sun though!

but from now on i will post at bellas first or second nap and i really need to get up some pictures :] so i plan to do that tomorrow bella is already asleep so no point now :] :]

Car Accident!

so im going to start this out by saying everyone is GOOD! but at like 6:00 me and bella were in my dads saturn on our way to go spend mikes lunch with him and then.... i was coming down del rio i had a green light so i was going and a guy was getting off the freeway and pulled out RIGHT in front of me... i slammed on the brakes there was nothing i could do! so i slammed right into him apparently it was in between the front fender and driver door of his car. the guy said he couldnt move his car so he called the cops and i pulled down to the shell station FREAKING out. bella cried for about 2 seconds i think the sound of the crash scared her but she is just fine. and im alright i just tensed up when i hit so my arms and legs hurt but im alright. his insurance company has already called me the cop said he was at fault so his insurance will be paying for all the damages on my dads car. and apparently when a baby is in an accident in california the car seat has to be replaced so i have to buy a new one and his insurance will reimburse me. getting in an accident sucks no matter what but im glad that me and bella are alright and that the guy i hit was insured and really nice and didnt fight the fact that it was his fault so im going to end this part with a picture of the front of my car with the front fender bungee corded on ha.

Now on a better note. friday was an amazing day, first off i got my license! i only missed four points on my test :] not that i will be driving that far anytime soon im kinda freaked out about the accident even though it wasnt my fault! but after my test me mike bella and my little sister Cera went to san francisco to go to the aquarium of the bay and to the ripleys believe it or not museum.






so here was our day... we got to san fran at about 11 and we parked then went to the aquarium! so here are some pictures of that.

and after this we went to the ripleys believe it or not museum which was alright but i wasnt that excited about it. but here are some pictures of that.

thats a kalidescope room im not sure how to spell it but that was pretty cool. but alot of the pictures arent that exciting sooo ya... but after this we went to lunch :] we went to the rainforest cafe and i have a picture or two of that....





after dinner we went shopping and then we went across the golden gate bridge which was really cool and really COLD ha but i got some cool pictures of that....




after this we headed home and got back around 11. it was an awesom day i had so much fun.. i just wish today could have been better but im just glad bella is okay... hopefully i wont have anything bad like this to write about tomorrow.

Not Much Of A Day

Well today i didnt do much got up at 8 like normal let me tell you how much i LOVE this.. i used to sleep til about 12 and then my little boo was born and at 8 when daddy is rustling around the room she is ready for her butt change and for her morning bottle and then she falls back to sleep at nine which im already wide awake! so when boo went to sleep i made myself something to ate and watched some tv and when she got up at 1o it was straight to the shower after this we laid on the floor and played a bit and then it was off to class for me and off to grandma sherrys for boo.

class was amazingly easy we actually had in class work today but it was just recreating to notepad documents not even word processing documents just word... BORING! i was the first one done and out of the class... as i was outside waiting for my ride about 15 minutes later people were still in there!!! come on seriously they were the two shortest documents i have ever typed and in this job we are all getting our certificates for typing is like one of the most important skills you NEED to have!! and aparently i misheard him and was only supposed to read half the chapter last night and i read the whole thing! oh well it was easy reading and that just gives me some time to post while mike plays games on the computer and boo sleeps haha.

while i was at class boo decided to stay up til about 1:15 instead of taking her nap at noon.. she will stay on a schedule for a good two weeks and then she's over it and changes it up on me haha but that up at 8 in the morning that never changes lmao! sherry said she spent some time with her good uncle Cody! she loves her uncles she is always smiling at them and trying to talk to them!

after i picked her up me and my little sister cera went to get our hair cut and then we went to lunch at tortilla town!! after that i came home and helped my mom clean and bella and cera played on the floor. cera decided to get ALL of bellas toys and have a play like thing for bella to watch it was pretty cute but i was busy running around the house and didnt get to snap a picture.

finally mike got home and we went out to his dads and we took cera with us. she was super excited to see the chickens and they even got her a little tiny egg they let her have! then we went to wal mart and then ate some mcdonalds and then came home!

we decided we are definately going to san fran on friday im WAY excited! and we decided we are going to take cera with us because she loves animals so she will love the aquarium! so we will be leaving friday after i take my drivers test :] wish me luck! buuut im going to watch the bounty hunter show its pretty intense but i will post again tomorrow mike will be home all day so he gets to spend some time with bella!

Loving the weather!

oh man i looove this weather. it wouldnt be even better if i was at the beach or the lake but oh well lol. well today was my second day of class and i actually really really like it. there is only one other person in my class in the a town campus but the other two campus and us connect on the internet and have a telephone conference its pretty neat. the class i am in right now is computers like REALLY basic computers but i still love it im excited to go back to school :]

bella goes over to her auntie rose's house or her grandma sherry's house while im at school for the hour and they get pretty upset cause she is always sleeping about that time but they still love having her company! she has been really upset lately i think her teeth are really bugging her and nothing against the hylands teething tablets but they just dont work for her but that doesnt mean they dont work every baby is different lol.

so friday hopefully me and mike will be taking bella to the bay aquiram in san fran im suuuper excited ive only been to san fran once and i dont really remember it lol. also i am taking my drivers license test on friday so wish me luck!

so the yesterday and today have not been very exciting i just went to school came home spent time with bella did some homework and went and visited amanda and her momma then went to drive around paso to practice for my driving test. and today i spent time with bella let her take a nap so i had time to get ready went to class and now im home. ive got some reading to do so i was just taking a break to update i dont have any pictures i really need a new camera so i can take better pictures :] but ill take some tonight and post tomorrow

Lets Catch Up!!!

Chidrens Mirace Network

so im taking some time to write a blog about a charity that i really support.. the childrens miracle network. and since boo is napping again i figured its a good time to do so!

i've been working at rite aid for a little over a year and every year we raise money for the childrens miracle network! this year we are selling the paper baloons where you donate a dollar or more and you get $6 dollars worth of coupons. but this year we have also decided to do a rumage sale on April 25th with two bounce houses a cotton candy machine and i recently heard the VFW is going to bbq for everyone! we will be having the rumage sale in the parking lot of the rite aid i work at and i encourage everyone to stop by and check it out and bring your kids by to play in the bounce houses :]

this is a great cause and i care more about it this year having a child and all. i want people to have a heart i mean its for the kids and every donation we get goes straight to the hospitals we get no profit which is excellent! our store raises money for the cottage hospital in santa barbra because it is the closest childrens hospital to us!

here are a couple links if you would like to check it out a little more!

this is the rite aid site that talks about us raising money : http://www.riteaid.com/company/community/charity.jsf

here is one for the childrens miracle network :

http://www.childrensmiraclenetwork.org/

this is a great cause doing great things for kids! i encourage everyone again to have a heart and help out!

Playing In The Dirt...

well yesterday was a good day!! first me mike and bella went to the opening of big lots... its really cool they have lots of stuff! and then we grabbed some lunch and headed over to mikes moms house. at about 11:30 everyone headed down to toms and when i say everyone i mean everyone ha! and we stayed down there riding quads and dirtbikes and this really sweet landcruiser thing and this lame go kart ha. me and mike went on the quad and oh man talk about fun! we decided we are getting one or two with our tax return next year.

mike went to work and i stayed. bella was being really good just laying in the back of sherrys car and sitting in her vibrating chair. so i decided i was going to go on the quad with some of the boys and then lane MADE me drive a quad but im pretty proud of myself i didnt really go anywhere just stayed up top going in circles but it was fun!

mike got off at 630 and everyone had just gotten back to the house so we ordered some pizza and stayed at his moms til like midnight. it was a very nice day with all the family! hopefully we will be doing it again soon!

i dont have any pictures right now but i will soon they are all on sherrys camera. oh i forgot the funny parts one we got sherry to go on the back of a quad with lane after a few beers ha it was so great i got some good pictures of that. and that lame go kart they had broke down about 8 times. first the tire popped off the rim when me and mike were in it so of course it was our fault. and then the radiator house was cracked. and then the tire popped off like 8 more times hahahahaha! its a piece but whatev!

today should be a good day to. when bella wakes up from her nap we are going to go over to sherrys house again for a bbq!

and im almost positive bella is in the first stages of teething. she has a massive bump on her top gum and mike is pretty sure its a tooth plus the fact that since she has gotten up she has been REALLY cranky. i mean like screaming for twenty minutes straight. which stupid me i thought she was just still tired cause she normally goes back down for a nap about nine so i laid her down. and if the neighbors were sleeping im pretty sure they are not now! but my mom is going to grab her some baby oragel cause the little teething rings she does not want! so im not 100% positive that a tooth is coming in but im really thinking so!

anyway ill post some pictures later on today of the riding!

Housesitting...

Well not much is going on... me and bella got up at 7:30 and she ate and took at nap about 8:30 and woke up a little after 9:00 gotta love her power naps! but i laid her on her belly for a good 20 minutes and she is scooting every now and then her fast little legs catch the ground but she cant keep her arms and legs up and in balance ha she is so cute! right now she is laying on the ground soo cute here are some pictures!

Her Cute Little Butt!

My Little Princess!

so me and mike are housesitting my grandparents house while they are in vegas which is nice to have a house to ourself and cook our own dinner! mike is at work right now he gets home at like 3:30 but of course i have to be to work at 3:15 so i wont see him til nine! our schedule next week sucks we only get one day off togther! but im going to spend some time with Sherry and the boiis this weekend and take bella down to toms to watch her uncles ride she's excited i just now it! ha.

i think mike is going to look at another apartment next week its a two bedroom in atown for 800 a month but its only a month to month lease so if we get the paso apartment we wont be trapped in a lease and can move out :] so it sounds like its going to work out well! i tried to call on a townhouse that was across the street from mikes mom but someone already put in an application :[

i really like this blog thing i never have to much excited to say but its nice to talk about my days lol.

well bella is taking another nap so its time to get ready for the day..

Posting From The In Laws

well.. today i decided im going to post from sherry's house because mike is outside chit chatting and bella is ebing amazingly good with her uncle tyler :]

yepp she loves him lots :]

anyway today was not very exciting.. mike went to work at 8 and i got up and got bella and myself showered then took her over to her great auntie trishas house but then.. my lil cousin cooper got hit with a shovel and had to go get stitches so my mom watched her until mike got off. poor cooper! but trisha said he is doing good.

at work we are selling the balloons for the childrens miracle network! i raised thirty dollars in 8 hours i was pretty impressed. if we raise 5,000 dollars in 7 weeks my manager is going to shave his head and my assistant manager is going to shave his beard so im shooting for that! come in and donate for a great cause!! other than that work was just full with the monday drama ha!

mikes store opens up on saturday so i guess they are rushing to get everything done so he is pretty stressed. and both of us are extremely tired bellas has been sleeping through the night... EXCEPT for last night she woke up about three times screaming her little head off! she ended up sleeping with us so she would stay calm... isn't she spoiled lol.

so for dinner we came over to mikes moms house and of course i had to play around with the camera again here is a couple of my shots!

not an excting day but i want to try to post everyday :]

What A Day...

well.. today started out with a late start. we had to be at the shriners club at nine and mike got out of the shower at 8:50. we were going to meet the lady to talk to her about having our wedding reception there... but then she didnt even show! so she ended up calling me at like 1030 rescheduling for 5:00 so we at least got to see it and talk to her and im pretty sure thats where the reception will be im pretty excited! on the same not as the wedding i found my bridesmaid dresses, my cake, and my centerpieces! and i have to say they are all beautiful :]

on the note of our little bella boo.. today was her very first trip to the movies.. we went and saw monsters vs aliens at the freemont in 3d of course and it was pretty good but bella was an amazing child she didnt even fuss and she stayed up and stared at the movie for most of it and then passed out on daddys shoulder.

yesterday i went and got my tattoo and it HURT! it still hurts. its amazing how many sensations there are on your foot that you dont even realize are there. here is a picture of my tattoo.

it was done by j-sin at cherry blossom :]

also today i got to play around with mikes moms camera and i got some REALLY good shots of bella so here are a couple that i really like :]






now keep in mind i am so not a preofessional ha i was just having some fun. and she was being so good i got to take like close to two hours of photos :] and i get to borrow the camera this weekend to take some pictures of her in her wranglers im super excited. anyway its time for bed. ill post some more tomorrow :]

Bella Boo.. Up To Now

so since i didnt write much about bella in the last post i thought i should throw out some fun little facts about her since she is the reason i started this blogging thingy! :]

Fact #1 as of two or three nights ago she is sleeping through the night. from about 10pm til about 7am. im VERY excited about this!

Fact #2 she is about 11 pounds 4 oz. when she was born she was 7 pounds 7 oz.

Fact #3 she is incredibly strong and can hold her head up for a very long time. but when she is done she throws her head down which sometimes causes her to head butt my monroe. which gave her a little tiny bruise on her cheek for about three days it was sad.

Fact #4 she is a talker.. she will throw her arms around trying to get that laugh out but she cant quite get it yet but im expecting it anyday.

Fact #5 she can not roll over yet but when she is on her belly she kicks kicks kicks and as soon as she can figure out how to make contact with the floor she is out of here lol.

Fact #6 she loves to be rocked and she loves loves loves the binks from the hospital lol.

Fact #7 her nicknames so far are boo and pumpkin butt which where created by me and mike. izzy which my side of the family calls her. and miss bella which mikes mom and grandma call her :]

i cant think of much more right now.. but ill try to throw in a couple new facts in each blog to keep everyone updated.

so i just got out of the shower just sitting around. bella fell asleep again. and im just waiting for mike to get here around 130 so we can go take a look at that apartment. then i have to head off to work. we also have an appt with the lady at the church that we want to get married at, so thats tomorrow!

things that are new with us.. mike just got a job at big lots which is 8.00 an hour which kinda sucks but at leasts its a job! and i finally got my permit! and took the freeway my second day of having it not by my choice of course ha! well im off here for now.

First Post

so i saw that my friend kayla started doing this yesterday and i decided that it is a good way to keep my friends and family updated on how bella is doing and how everything else in my life is going... so here we go!

today bella decided to wake up when daddy got up which left me getting up at 8 in the morning BLAH! ha but an hour later she is back asleep ha she just wanted to get me up! she passed out in her swing she is completely obsessed with the tucan that flies around above the swing lol.

she isnt screaming she is yawning my flash woke her up :]

later today me and mike are going to look at an apartment in paso on vine street im pretty excited it has laundry hook ups in the house :] so ill let everyone know how that goes well thats if i get any followers if not i will just vent to myself lol.
