JAYSON AND ANGEL (THE TWO DANCERS)

JAYSON AND ANGEL AGAIN AT THE DANCE FLOOR

We had dinner at this Chinese Restaurant in Hollister CHEN SUENG (I think) it was alright except for the egg rolls they were spring rolls (at least here in Texas) other than that it was good.

JAYSON AND I AT THE CHINESE RESTAURANT

JAYSON AND HIS AUNT CINDY
Visited Gilroy where my uncles used to live when they went to work back in the late 70's, 80's and late nineties.

JAYSON IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK ON OUR WAY TO GILROY ONLY IN TEXAS HA!

Jayson had fun he behaved well during our flight and stay. Visited the Golden Gate it was COLD! overall the weather over there is cold compared to Texas. I will share the pictures that I was able to take remember the incident with my camera.

Getting Ready California Here We Go!!!

2009-11-10T14:50:00.003-06:00

Well I have been so busy at work it isnt funny. Jayson got sick on me Sunday afternoon and continued through yesterday since I am not all for seen his pediatrician here reason been that it takes longer for him to get over a cold versus seen his Pediatrician in Mexico Dr. Soto he gets well right away... so yesterday I called to make an appointment and take him he was given some meds and by night it was Jayson all over again. Jayson you are a mighty boy, action boy nothing stops you unless you are ill. And even then you are so strong and never have you had a sad face on you. You are such a happy baby I LOVE YOU! So I think Jayson feels that we are leaving somewhere last night I was getting my suit case kind of ready and he was sitting on my bed next to the suitcase and he would smile at me and clap!! Or he thinks I am leaving and he gets to stay with his grandparents so they can spoil him more than what he is. Oh my God! time is going by very fast two more days and Bonvoyage here we go. I am so excited for this trip and at the same a bit nervous traveling with Jayson I hope he has a pleasant trip...will keep you posted!

Halloween 2009

2009-11-04T08:43:00.002-06:00

I've been out for some time I just have found myself doing so many things all together. This Halloween JAYSON dressed as "Woody" from Toy Story. Needless to say it is his favorite movie (s). We did not go Trick or Treating this year. My sister had a party for my nephew so the theme was Halloween. JAYSON had a good time I took several pictures though the ones I will post today he had just woken up from a nap before we got to the party, we get there and he wakes up. You can see his face where he is not smiling at all but still thought I could share with all of you. Looking forward for our trip to California next week. Any advice on traveling with a toddler are extremely welcomed. Thanks.

JAYSON AND I

2009-10-09T11:59:00.003-05:00

I have been out for several days too busy at work and my unconditional attention to JAYSON. He has been sick with CROUP its that barking cough we went to the doctor on Wednesday and Dr. Costa gave him a shot to help him get rid of it I cant remember the name he had this ugly cough, runny nose, congestion. It has cleared a bit his cough is almost gone, but he continues having a runny nose and some flem. He doesnt know how to spit them out so, to him is difficult and when he starts coughing he starts crying. last night he woke up three times crying I think his throat would hurt when he would cough on one of the ocassions he had fever I gave him some Advil (pediatric) and went back to sleep after a while but he would be crying and kept on sobing. On another ocassion he woke up and he was sweating alot I think it was that he had taken the Advil before that and it was making effect. My mom rubbed some Vicks on his chest, back and soles of his feet he vomit some flem I wanna say 5 minutes after she rubbed his chest. So Vicks does work. I am so confused with all this going on. Then the famous H1N1 virus and Vaccine. I just think he will not be getting that vaccine its new and has not been tested on humans so Ive read. Here is a picture of Jayson and I on Saturday at Angel's birthday party. HOpe he gets better through the weekend

2009-09-30T10:06:00.002-05:00

My friend Yvonne and I are making plans to go watch this movie though I dont think we wont make it to the same show. We have a busy schedule this coming weekend, Friday (when it comes out) is Football Friday COYOTES VS LOBOS thats a must attend. Saturday, I got invited to a baby shower for the daughter of a lady that I work with and then my cousin CINDY has Angels' birthday party that same afternoon I will probably end up going to see the movie until Sunday. I wonder if JAYSON will sit throught the 2 shows. Yvonne says that she doubts MICA would stay sit.haha. Jayson is also so active, put he watches movies at home back to back!

Holloween To Do List...

2009-09-29T10:07:00.002-05:00

Hi! So far we have started to shop for costumes for Holloween my sister will be having a party on that day she will celebrate my nephew Sauls birthday (10-28) on that day so we are planning a party for that day. JAYSON got his woody costume this weekend we are just mission the accessories which we should get this weekend cause they ran out of at the disney store. I have to mention that on Friday when we went to the Disney store to buy it it was about 8:30 they had ran out of JAYSONS size XXS and the attendant told me that they had some at the Mercedes Outlets my sister and I were on line to purchase some other Toy Story items and all of the sudden the lights go completely off you can imagine the KAOS at the Mall. Saturday we went over to the Disney Store at Mercedes so we finally got it. Yay!! So here is a picture of the costume I promise I will take a picture of Jayson wearing it soon.

TOY STORY FEVER

2009-09-23T10:02:00.003-05:00

Yesterday was a nice day... we had rain in the later part of the day at 4:00ish the climate started to change dark skies, windy and the degrees went down in a couple of minutes it was a hot, stuffy day super HOT then it went on to a nice day. We went to the Mall to make payments...couldnt resist the shoe sale at Macys bought two pairs of shoes only because my favorite, third pair they couldnt find the other shoe and my fourth pair they didnt have it on my size so I'm heading back this wknd and hopefully they have found the pair to the third of my favorite.

When we waled into our kitchen there was a Woody Toy in its box on top of the table unopened Jayson looks at it and turns to see me and smiles. He goes and gets my mom to show her what he found. This new Wood presentation has more of the sayings including "Theres a snake in my boot!" My sister bought it for him on her way back from work and of course Saulito got one too. My nephew opens it for him and he turns him around and starts pulling on his string over and over. I hope he doesnt break it or something. Then we went off to my room and watched TV. JAYSON was wondering (as usual) hanging around the TV needless to say turning on and off the TV for me and giving me a sweet smurk. All of the sudden the preview for the Toy Story 1&2 3D comes out and JAYSON turns around at me and back to the screen and didnt move at all. The commercial is over and comes to me and gives me a big hug, I wondered if he understood what they were saying but all I know is that its not only playing in our truck now is on the actual TV his mom watches so I think he knows theres something coming up... I cant wait until it comes out so that I can take him to watch them it even comes with a bargain we watch 1&2 for the same PRICE!!! Looking forward for OCTOBER 2nd.

This picture was taken last week when we were at a stop sign coming back from the doctors office. YEP! he is watching Toy Story 2.

HELP WANTED

2009-09-22T10:39:00.006-05:00

This picture was taken during our doctor visit last week, there was this stepper and he kept looking at it but would not try to get on top until several attempts later he gave it a try and there he was at the top!!

Jayson has entered his 1year 5 months and I need to get him off his bottle. I am not taking his milk away I just want him to go bottless. Can anyone out there help me with suggestions. Also, I am having trouble getting him to eat table food, he drinks his bottle, and very little table food almost nothing we went to the Dr. last week and he gave me some vitamins to mix with his juice or milk but I havent notice the change. Please help.

Also, do you think I should but on the vaccine for the flu and the new one for the H1N1 flu. Here in the border it was scary the time when the H1N1 outbreak this vaccine is fairly new or not does anyone out there now any info on this H1N1 vaccine please let me know. `

Time goes by...Fast

2009-09-15T10:39:00.002-05:00

I was going over some pictures saved into my computer and saw a picture of JAYSON from his first COYOTE FOOTBALL game and realized that my baby is growing so fast. Time is really flying. I hope for JAYSON to grow being a good boy. I wish for him to attend college become a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer or better yet become a MLB Player of course playing to one of my favorites such as the Braves, Cubs or Astros. I can see myself (Cotton Head) sitting behind the catcher (Barbara Bush)at each of his games. WOW!! I hope that we never get seperated by time which will probably happen when he goes on to college. maybe I will relocate yeah I dont think so I have to let him experience on his own.

THEN

NOW

BYE BYE BINKY

2009-09-11T09:52:00.003-05:00

It has just slipped my mind to let you all know that JAYSON no longer uses a binky, thank GOD for that. It seemed as if JAYSON only used the binky as a habit which really helped me during his first year of life. He has been a great baby never did he wake up during the night for a bottle. He would wake up and search for his binky around his area and he would put it on his mouth himself and go back to sleep. This past Friday I put his binky away where he wouldnt be able to see it. He did fine, at night he missed his binky I gave him a milk bottle (6oz) he finished it and put himself into his usual position and fell asleep, Saturday he asked for his Binky and I told him the WAWOW (DOG) had taken it, he went on to play, and didnt ask for it until the night again I sort of expalined him that he could not have it any more cause he was already a grown up baby (as if he understands) he turns around then back to me and wants my arms to be around him, he fell asleep on my forearm (aaah) Sunday he totally forgot about it cause he didnt ask for him he calls his bink (titi) and his bottle (teta) he would ask for teta. So all this week he has been the grown up baby I told him and he has done away with using a BINKY!!

9/11 - REMEMBRANCE

2009-09-11T09:43:00.006-05:00

WASHINGTON – On Sept. 11, 2001, Barack Obama was driving to a state legislative hearing in Chicago when he heard the first sketchy reports of a plane hitting the World Trade Center on his car radio. The 40-year-old state senator spent the afternoon in his law office watching "nightmare images" of destruction and grief unfold on TV.

Within days, he'd issued a statement about what the nation should do next.

Beyond the immediate needs to improve security and dismantle "organizations of destruction," Obama wrote, lay the more difficult job of "understanding the sources of such madness." He wrote of "a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers," of "embittered children" around the world, of the seeds of discontent sown in poverty, ignorance and despair.

The nuanced musings of an obscure state senator, Obama's statement never even made the big Chicago dailies.

Associated Press ( sorry copied part of article)

Today is yet another anniversary for 9/11. God Bless all those lives that were lost, and their families in during this time of grievance. Most of us understand the feeling of loosing a loved one. Peace be with every singly family that lost a loved one.

Just Me

2009-09-09T11:50:00.005-05:00

Labor Day Weekend

2009-09-08T11:36:00.006-05:00

HE LOVES BEEF JERKY-Thanks ROY and BELLE for your contribution of the Jerky

So what if it was Labor Day, I still had to work at home. JAYSON and I went to several outings we had a good time. Friday, we stayed home I was too tired to go anywhere as far as our football team we lost against Brownsville, TX the game was on Thursday so we weren't able to attend besides that was my brothers birthday. Saturday we went over to Jesses' house we spent the whole afternoon and night there until I came back home at around 2 in the morning. Sunday, JAYSON and I went over to the ranch (Mexico) for breakfast. My aunts parents had an anniversary party there at the ranch my uncle made menudo and barbacoa for breakfast so we went over for breakfast and came back in the afternoon. Later we went again to Jesses house for lunch/dinner we got home at 11:00 ish or so. Monday, I finally got to clean my room (didnt even bother going into the closet its still a mess!!) watched movies with JAYSON, took a nap, went to the neighbors to play bingo (mexican loteria) then got ready to go to LeeRoys parents house for Labor Day BBQ. It was delicious. My friend Belle and her parents got there late they were coming in from HOUSTON she purchased a new Land Rover it is awesome. We stayed there til about midnight. Now I am super sleepy here at work needed more time to sleep!!

WORRY FREE!

2009-09-03T10:02:00.005-05:00

This blog is mainly about Jayson and his adventures but today I have to share something about me I kind of do that once in a while. Well it all started in July went to visit my ob/gyn Dr. Tey (he's a cutie pie :)) well they found that my blood pressure was high so they took me of my birthcontrol and prescribed me a new pack "Loestrin24Fe" those contain less estrogen which might be the cause of my high pressure. He told me to continue on the new pack and take the pill for that day "Thursday" I did and continued as normal, the pack ends on Saturday we were already in August I wait the normal waiting days to get my monthly well I didnt I called the doctors office and they tell me to go ahead and start the new pack on Sunday (thats when I start my new pack) so I did I wasnt comfortable so I went to buy a pregnancy test, there was that doubt that maybe I was prego due to the change in pills well to my relief it was negative so I continued been normal days go by I finished the pack for August, I always get my period on Wednesday, well its Wednesday and there is no sign of my period what so ever, I have all this things going thru my mind and the possibility that the pregnancy test failed and I am pregnant, but I have been taking my pills on every day and on time! I feel very frustrated when the day is coming to an end I couldn't sleep worring about the future how am I going to do it with a baby I havent been on my job for more than a year I dont have short term disability for when I deliver will I have enough days to cover my maternity leave, will I go through the same as I went with Jayson, bed rest due to high blood pressure the last 2 months of pregnancy what if things get complicated and I have to be bed ridden for more than that. I went home and every time I would check for signs of pregnancy comparing things I would look at Jayson and would tell myself well Jayson will have a baby brother or sister to play with everything will be fine. If I am pregnant everything will be fine GOD is grateful and a child would be just another blessing. So I decided to take life day by day. I couldnt sleep throughout the night until finally I told myself enough you are probably stressing over nothing relax and let it be. In the morning I took another pregnancy test and once again NEGATIVE but still no signs of my period. I spoke to one of my co-workers which I confide with. He is a good friend and trust worthy. Well, I finally get my period TODAY!! I havent been more happy of getting my period as today! I just couldnt believe that there was a possibility of me being prego I take the BC everyday dont miss a dose at the same time I couldnt believe I was that 1% of the ones that BC failed AGAIN on me I wanted to be on the 99% list. Well enough of that just wanted to share with you my month journey.

BOOTS!!

2009-09-02T08:59:00.005-05:00

Looking forward for the weekend. A three day weekend. We are off on Monday due to Labor Day! And its the White Wing Season here in the RGV. Jayson is ready for it. Rose (Jesse's Sister) bought him a pair of boots. He loved them cause he didnt want to take them off. We tried them on to see if they fit that way if they didnt she could take them back to exchange them for a different size but they fit okay. I cant wait to go to Academy and buy him a camoflauge outfit to go with his boots. He had worn those boots all this week even with his PJ's he didnt want to take them off Monday morning. Yesterday he went with jeans to his sitters house the sitter (Chachi) told me that they went outside and since it has been drizziling they got dirty he bent down to wipe them clean. He is such a character. I LOVE YOU JAYSON! These pictures were taken the day he was given the pair of boots he is wearing shorts!

Welcome

2009-09-01T08:18:00.002-05:00

This past week was a week on the go. Monday, we got invited to have dinner at one of my favorite restaurants PF Changs (Chinese) ever since they opened a couple of years ago it is always packed though my birthday was what a week ago last Monday my friends Elma & Belle (mother & daughter) took me out to eat for my birthday. Thanks Girls! Tuesday, Mom, Jayson and I went to the Mall made payments and bought Jayson some jeans at Baby Gap couldnt resist the offer. Later we went to Sam's Club bought Jaysons Pampers and some groceries for the house we then went to my brother Roys' house in Edinburg, my sister in law had dinner for us some home made Buffalo Wings they were delicious in this chipotle sauce mmmh. Wednesday, well I colored my hair!!! I was tired of the highlights, my hair was breaking too much bleach I figure so I went dark! I felt wierd used to my lighted hair but finally I did it to my advantage my friends all liked it. I got compliments at the salon, home, work family and friends. So its alright. Hopefully I can maintain it healthy!! Thursday we stayed home finally. Friday as you may have already read we went to the football game and Saturday to Laurens Birthday Party it was a fun party Jayson and I enjoyed though it was SUPER HOT!! Sunday we went over to Jaysons father house I made Enchiladas which Jesse loves he prefers mine over his moms!! I am posting a picture of Jayson, Tutu and Tia Amparo. Tia (Aunt)Amparo is not my aunt she is my cousins aunt but I still call her "Tia" it is the first time other than in pictures that she sees Jayson. Tia Amparo lives in California and that where Jayson and I will crash in November when we go for Sally's daughter Katrinas Quinceanera. I cant wait til then. Thanks Tia Amparo for visiting us during this HOT Weather!! see you in a couple of months!!

!!GO COYOTES GO!!

2009-08-31T15:51:00.004-05:00

It's the second scrimmage of the season and our mighty Coyotes won this past Friday, 28-12 against Laredo Cigaroa "Toros". It was an amazing game. Though one of the twins got injured in the field but gratefuly he is doing better already. It was our first appearance for the 2009-2010 Football Season Jayson was in his best behavior until 3:35 minutes in the last quarter where he had to go potty with #2, so we had to go down the bleachers and get him change in a hurry. Lucky we came back on time to watch the ending of the game. I like to stay until the end of the game whether we win or loose.

BROKEN CAMERA!!

2009-08-25T15:30:00.002-05:00

For one reason or other Jayson got happy and started throwing things that were on his path. He encountered himself been bothered by my camera which was on the night stand he grabbed it and threw it across the room. WAY TO GO!! So we are cameraless. So for now until I purchase a new one we are going to have to do with old pictures and if I get lucky newones downloaded from my camera phone. I am sharing today a picture (4 different) that was used for his 1st birthday party. Enjoy!

Friday Night Lights!!

2009-08-21T14:36:00.004-05:00

It's that time of the year "Friday Night Lights" my youngest brother is out of high school so we have noone else in the family in High School, though Ive made a very good friend here at work Elma Garcia she is the mother of a young and wonderful daughter Belle (27) and two enormous, tall and athletic twind Ruben and Robbie yes theyre on their Senior year and playing High School Football. Since there is not much to do here in the Valley (its very high daily on the 3 digits)but there is always time and the love for high school football. Well, I guess it coming back high school football fever. So Jayson and I will be attending games every friday from now til they end. Our school district decided to break up into three different high schools (big mistake if you ask me) so the excitment kind of broke down into three different mascots La Joya COYOTES!! Huskies and Lobos (once a Coyote always a Coyote!)

"And He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them."

2009-08-20T10:12:00.000-05:00

Jayson is doing much better this morning, he woke up a bit fuzzy but I figure that kids wake up like that almost every morning. It was a good Kodak moment but as usually didnt have mine on hand. He was like crying (no tears) with his eyes closed and tighting them not to open to a bit of light and making this whinning noise. Yesterday I took him to the Dr. he prescribed new medication since he does have an ear infection let me tell you it was as if GOD answered my prayers after the dose of each of the meds (3) there was a complete change in him. He started to walk (he just wanted to be in bed) and play with the toys he's got. He slept trought the night after a good bath with Johnsons' green bottle shampoo. It was until this morn ing he was fuzzy again. I am to give him one of the meds for three days every 12 hours and the other for 10 days every 12 hours as well the other med is Advil for his fever.

The pictures that follow were taking some time back with my nephew Saul in his John Deer little truck Jayson was buckled by my nephew as soon as I sat him "Iana (as he calls me) give me the seat belt cause I drive real fast and Jayson can fall"

"For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 1 Samuel 1:27

2009-08-19T14:02:00.000-05:00

Last night was not the best night at all. Jayson has been sick. Ear ache seems to have gone away cause he hasnt been fuzzy for that. But last night the fever came back, we were up every hour of the night sleep, wake up to Jayson's cry and so on. Though I was super sleepy, I didnt complain to do my duty, cuddle him up gave him some medicine when it was time for it. I just pray that the fever goes away I dont want him to go through the same tonight. I called his doctor and was told to continue giving him the medicine for one more day and if it continued to take him to the dr's office. I LOVE YOU JAYSON! HOPE U R DOING BETTER TODAY! Any suggestions on what i can do besides going in to the Dr's office. Dont think I am neglecting him from taking him to see a Dr. I am lucky to have Dr. Soto as his Pediatrician he answers to all my million calls when JAYSON gets sick.

HELLO

2009-08-17T13:56:00.000-05:00

It was a calm day went to the mall then came back home to BBQ with the family. It didnt matter whether it was my birthday cause I still did most of the side dishes from pico de gallo to guacamole mmmhh it was delicious. It was all my family well my brother (his wife and son), my sister (her husband and her two boys) my lil bro Giancarlo, Mom, Dad and JAYSON of course. You know Jayson is such a good boy, he loves watching movies he can sit watching movies all day and wont complain. (He's not talking yet) I guess thats why he doesnt complain. I ADORE HIM! he has been the most wonderful kid I ve known. My weekend was fun, went out with the girls on Friday. Got my energy back on Saturday and Sunday I spend it with the whole family.

We're Back!

2009-06-13T12:29:00.000-05:00

Finally! I have the connection to the world outside my house. I finally got the computer! So now I can continue blogging with a little bit of help from Jayson (he wont keep his little twinkies of the keyboard!) Hope to continue blogging with all you once again!

ABSENCE

2009-03-15T19:39:00.000-05:00

Sorry, I've been out for so long. At work where I usually did my posting now I am been banned (blocked) from it. I am working to connecting the internet at home so that I can continue do my blogging. I promise I will be back very soon!

Your Opinion Counts

2009-02-11T09:36:00.000-06:00

Jayson is outgrowing his baby carseat. I am in the shopping mode for a new car seat for him, switching from a rear facing to a forward facing. I've been looking and searching for them in the internet and after reviews and more reviews I've decided to purchase an Eddie Bauer one. My sister has one and she highly recommends it for all the features it has and will make Jayson more confortable than the other ones out in the market. Let it be said, our Ford Expedition is an Eddie Bauer its color is Candy Apple Red with Tan Trim and the interior is Tan with a darker brown/gray trim. I am posting some pictures so you can help me decide which one the only variation would be the price which difference is between 10-25 dollars difference here they are. Please comment on which one you would like for us to buy.

Yesterday was Danika's birthday (Jayson's sister) she turned 11 years old. Family gathered at Peter Piper Pizza and so did her friends. As for Jayson he had a blast. He went on on all the fun rides there is. He went in the slide that is completely covered, I was afraid he would be afraid to my surprise Jayson went on that slide as a 3-4 year old he laughed and waved by through a section that was cleared. Jayson will be a tough guy! Once again he rode the carrousel and this time he rode the train with his brother Jesse and then all ALONE!! He looked gorgeous, family members were amazed on how brave he was to ride on his own of course he was strapped. Jayson had a blast at his sisters birthday!! I can't wait for his Birthday Party.

ROAD TRIP

2009-02-04T08:35:00.000-06:00

Our road trip to San Antonio was a sucess, Jayson slept all the way from home to San Antonio a few miles into the road and he was asleep. Good for him, as for me I was the driver and my mom was with him in the back seat of the truck. We got to my sisters house and Jayson woke up, I fed him I hadn't fed him in the past 4 hours or so. He finished his bottle and cuddled in my arms and went back to sleep. My nephew had a band concert at noon. We went to have breakfast at IHOP and then went to his concert. My nephew has grown a lot time sure is passing by super fast. Later in the day we went shopping, I bought Jayson a new pair of tennis shoes just last month he got a new pair and they dont fit anymore his feet are growing and so is he. I am still a bit concerned there are still no signs of him getting any teeth yet. He is about to reach 10 months and no signs, he puts every thing he gets into his mouth I imagine that its for him to soothe his itching gums or something you should see how he rubs things against his gums. I need to catch him doing it so I can take him a picture and share it with you guys. We went out on Saturday, my sister her husband and myself we went to have dinner downtown San Antonio we wanted to go to the cruise down the River Walk but it was too chilly so we opted to dine in a resturant in downtown. It was good and I also had a couple of drinks and then headed back home. Sunday we went over to a flea market close by, we walked and walked and there seem to be nothing intresting that caught my eye we walked out with two pairs of Geranium plants @ $8.00 a pair and my brother in-law bought himself a knife cost him $55.00 we stopped to see them and the sales guy was you know convencing him to buy it, my brother in law said it was too much and the guys tells him buy it for $55 and if you find one cheaper buy it bring me the receipt and I will buy the one you purchased from me back. My brother in law is not convenced and walks away I stayed behind and heard him say he wasted my time and didnt buy anything. My brother in law and nephew say they will be right back and my sister, mom, my little nephew, Jayson and I found a place to sit and waited, waited, waited and they finally show up again My B-I-L bought him the knife and I asked from the same guy and he goes yeah, I said what he was pissed off when we walked away from his stand and said that you had wasted his time. My BIL sighed and we walked out of the market. We went back to my sisters loaded and headed back to the RG Valley. I felt sad leaving them behind knowing I will see them 'til the end of the month now I know how they feel when they come to our house. Love you guys!

Well, I have been busy at work all this week. And busy at home as well, I joined an Aerobics class to fullfill my resolution of loosing weight this year. I want to be fit for my baby and be a healthy mom to him as well and of course for my own good. This week all I have done is browse and click next blog and have found so many families in need of prayer. This morning I found a blog of a 1 pound baby. God does create miracles. Kayleigh is already seven months and what I read you can click on her button and it will take you to her story and you will read for yourself. Another family is The Calls Family Mr. Call has been going through radiation and things are also going well for him. Just to let you (my blogging world friends) You all are always in my daily prayers. Thanks for allowing me come into your lifes even though we don't know each other personally. Thank you all once again. I hope next week will be a good week and gives me a chance to blog. I almost forgot Pray for Que and Brittany to be able to adopt they seem to be ready to become parents. Good Luck. And GOD BLESS YOU ALL. P.S. I will be going to San Antonio for the weekend Jayson is going too. Looking forward for a nice weekend. BYE!!

The Weekend

2009-01-19T10:22:00.000-06:00

Saturday Jayson and I went to a Birthday Party at Peter Piper Pizza. It was Jadelyn's 5th Birthday. Jadelyn is daughter to my long time friend Lilly. Jayson enjoyed the carrousel. I was a bit afraid he would slide down the horse while it was turing to my suprise Jayson sat throughout the ride. I was just by his side the whole time. He had a good time as you can all see. Later we went to visist his dad and his grandma Jayson's sister Danika wasnt home so he got to play with Jesse and Carolina his cousin. Sunday we went to the ranch. It has been 8 years since my grandma (dads mom) passed away. our whole family was there and we went to mass and then we went back to the ranch. There was a lot of food, you didnt know where to start. It was really fun seeing each other and spending a Sunday around our loved ones. I love family gatherings!

Meet Jadelyn

9 Months of Life

2009-01-16T14:54:00.001-06:00

This week (Tuesday) Jayson turned 9 months, time really flies. I counted and did my math 1 year and 1/2 ago Jayson started to exist. Oh my! he changed my life completely I don't regret it at all and never will. I never thought it would happen to me, I learned the "never say never"saying. Everyday I go straight home after work when before I dreaded to go home cause it was "boring" I had to go places with friends, happy hour, parties you name it I was there, Fridays and Saturdays I would hang out with friends at sports pubs stay out until early hours of the morning it was just a lot of partying and having good times. I have to thank my mom for teaching me to be a good mom, for being strict with me when I would want to go and meet with friends and wanted to leave Jayson with her so that I would go out. I remember of getting super mad and saying I can't believe she is being that way with me. What have I done to her, why can't she take care of him for a while if he goes to sleep early, I would stay in my room and be very upset and then I take a look at Jayson and I would tell myself, OK I stay with you tonight and made that night the best of it. It's funny to see those onsies at the store that reads "Party at my crib at 2:00 a.m." it is true! I would enjoy the evening with my son all evening. Now I don't regret it a bit. Jayson will grow one day and I will not regret not being around or with him as he reached all his milestones and be there to see each and one of it. There will be time for all those different get togethers with friends later. I have a little boy to look after its not only me to take care of. I love you Jayson always and forever. (a picture will follow later) sorry :(

Stand Out!

2009-01-12T11:54:00.000-06:00

This weekend went by pretty fast. Saturday there was a cold front that came into the Valley which was not as much as expected but good enough to stay at home. Jayson has a runny nose and a bit of a cough we went to see Dr. Soto. He is such a good doctor he examined him and said it was just that a runny nose and cough nothing serious. I was thinking he migh catch the whooping cough that has been going on all this winter but gratefully it was just that. If you look closely you could see him with a runny nose. Last night when we got back from the Ranch I unbuckled him and I reached for his diaper bag when I looked back at him, there he was standing up on his own and getting our attention he even waited until I got my camera out to take him this shots. He is funny. He will turn 9 Months tomorrow. Time is sure really going by really fast. I have a little bit over 3 months to start preparing for his 1st Birthday, I have decided to make his party of Elmo, What do you guys think? Any other suggestions Please let me know. He looked really cute with this cow outfit I put him on yesterday it really fit the scenario at the Ranch. My dad took him to look after the sheep for a while before it got breezy.

George Strait coming to the RGV

2009-01-06T13:46:00.001-06:00

George Strait is coming back to the Rio Grande Valley after I don't know how many years I think is 20. He will be performing at the Dodge Arena on May 9th just in time for Mother's Day! I now can celebrate Mother's Day for the second time, this will be an awesome present for me yeah!!! I convencied Jesse, Jayson's father to go with me since he only likes about 3-5 songs of him so he said okay, I'll go with you as if I was twisting his arm. Jesse and I maintain a really good relationship even though we are not living together we still act as if we do. It is a long story and this blog is not about me its about Jayson. Jesse has always been there for Jayson when ever I call him to help me out when my mom can't babysit him. He has 2 kids from his previous marriage which he has custody of; Danika 10 and Jesse 9. One of my favorite songs of George Strait is "She let herself Go", I Saw God Today, The Cowboy Rides Away, The Chair just to name a few. Tickets don't go on sale until further notice. I can't wait to hold the tickets in my hand. My long time good friend and confidant Yvonne is going too, hope we get tickets together.

ooops! I did it Again!!

2009-01-06T09:48:00.001-06:00

It happened once again, Jayson fell of the bed again, it was about 3:30 in the morning that Jayson woke up crying, I switched him from his crib to my bed and he went back to sleep. Maybe he was cold, he was not covered. Then it was time for me to get ready for work when I walked over to my closet Jayson woke up and rolled over to the floor. This time he did get hurt just look at the pictures I've posted, maybe it wasn't a good idea I don't want CPS to call me and get in trouble. My poor baby, once again I am sorry. He cried for a while, I placed an ice pack on his forehead so that the swelling would minimize. It was cold so he wouldn't keep it for long. After a while he was the same happy baby as you can see in the pictures.

Happy New Year 2009!

2009-01-06T09:39:00.000-06:00

2008 is gone and here is the best thing the year brought to me my baby boy Jayson. I took this picture of ourselves New Year's Eve before he went to sleep, it is not the best picture but oh well. We went over to my sisters house for the evening, my cousins, my brother and rest of the family were there we had so much fun we had Kareoke and we danced and sang until midnight. Then we popped fireworks Jayson went to sleep a bit after 12 midnight which was good he was the first one I hugged and kissed for the New Year 2009. It was great.

Merry Christmas!!

2009-01-06T09:33:00.001-06:00

It was Jayson's first Christmas and it was awesome. He received many gifts from family and friends from clothes to toys. He didn't last until 12 midnight so we opened his gifts until the next morning. He wore this onesee that read "Who needs Santa, I've got Grandparents!"

Saturday, Dallas Cowboys Game vs Ravens

2008-12-17T16:45:00.000-06:00

IRVING, TX - DECEMBER 14: Running back Tashard Choice #23 of the Dallas Cowboys celebrates his touchdown with Leonard Davis #70 and Andre Gurode #65 in the fourth quarter against the New York Giants at Texas Stadium on December 14, 2008 in Irving, Texas.

Well, I am a little excited cause the Cowboys play this weekend on a Saturday, I would like to go out and have a good time with friends, a day for myself. First I need to find a sitter for Jayson, my parents will be out of town attending a Quincenera in Monterrey, NL Mexico. WOW! I haven't been able to go out for sometime. I am really looking forward for this weekend but I don't want to make plans until I find a sitter for Jayson.

8 Months!

2008-12-15T13:51:00.000-06:00

Jayson turned 8 months on Saturday! He has began to make funny faces when he sees me with the camera, its hard at times to get him to pose for the camera. Friday night there was an accident, I layed him down to change his diaper in my bed, I guess he got cold and suprisingly pied on his clothes before I was able to finish changing him. I rapidly went to the drawer to get him another pair of PJ's to change him from the wet ones and all of the sudden I hear a stomped on the floor there was my baby crying his lungs out, he looked scared I ran back and grabbed him and started crying myself. Jayson's cry was different from that I have heard in the past he grabbed onto me so hard as if he didn't want to let go. I couldn't stop crying and he hugged me harder I kept telling him I am sorry, I love you, as I rubbed his little head finally we both stopped crying and Jayson starred at me and I hugged him tight. Mom and I were inspecting his little head searching for any abnormal bumb we didn't find any. It wasn't until Jayson giggled at my mom and hid his face next to mine that I felt better. I was really scared. I promised that I will never let him alone in the bed again.

Dr. Visit

2008-12-08T11:50:00.000-06:00

Friday, I took Jayson to see the doctor after work. Here I was able to get a picture of him, just another distraction to the Pediatrician since Jayson wouldn't stay still when he was checking him, the Dr. said everytime you bring me Jayson you claim he is sick, but when he gets to my office he seems that he is having fun and doesn't look sick, Jayson starts to cough (fake) and wouldn't stop as if he knows what me and his Pediatrician are talking about. Jayson has the flu but is already going away. GOOD! He weighs 16.5 lbs (8 kilos) I asked the Dr if that was normal and he stated that Jayson is in the normal weight for his age which is a relief because people say he is skinny, that is Jaysons physique I guess, pettite I asked him about his teeth and he said for me not to be anxious that they will come at their time, my mom said I got my first tooth when I was almost 10 months old, my sister got them at 9 so its in his genes to be a late bloomer!

First Week of December

2008-12-05T10:26:00.001-06:00

Our first week of December really looks good, it has been cold in the mornings and at night, nothing that we can't handle down here in the Rio Grande Valley. Jayson has been under the weather he started a cough, nothing of much concern but I am reading this article on the net about babies and Whooping Cough so just because of that article I am taking him for a check-up with the doctor. Jayson will turn 8 months next week, and still don't show any signs of a tooth or two though he does drull somebit I am just been anxious to see his first tooth I just have to leave it to its own course.

Birthday Party

2008-12-01T14:39:00.001-06:00

Saturday we went to a Birthday Party at the ranch Jayson got to hit the Tinkerbell Pinata it turned out to be a good day despite of what the weather channel was saying that it was going to rain Jayson was ready for any type of weather

Thanksgiving

2008-12-01T14:13:00.001-06:00

Thanksgiving day was a busy one my mom had surgery on her eye that morning so I was her chofer for the day, came hustling back and got ready to go over to Jesse's house Jayson was over there for the morning since we left early for Moms procedure. Picked him up and was told he ate a lot of pumpkin pie. Went over to my sisters house and started preparing the side dishes for our family dinner. These were the only pictures I was able to take due that I was busy preparing food. My cousin went crazy posing for these pictures Jayson looks as if he is having so much fun. I LOVE YOU JAYSON!

First Walker Steps

2008-11-21T09:56:00.000-06:00

I went crazy posting today I have so many pictures of Jayson in my camera and I needed to post them and share them with all of you Jayson is being lazy to start moving in his walker he rather sit down and play with the attached toys than to move up to us. On this day he started walking towards us and would pause until we will applaud and praise him and then he would do the same over and over he is getting there slowly but surely I have no rush so I won't push him as when the day he was born until his time was due so why rush him he has his time to do things when he wants too.

Final Verdict - SOLD

2008-11-21T09:53:00.000-06:00

Jayson picked up his hand too when we were deciding which refrigerator to buy he agreed with my choice too.

Just Because

2008-11-21T09:42:00.001-06:00

Yesterday we went shopping for moms Christmas gift, well she will receive it early for Thanksgiving I bought her a new refrigerator we had a difficult time deciding which one she chose a double door Satin Stainless Steel I didn't like it and finally convenced her for a different one also double door but black which also matches the stove my sister gave her last Thanksgiving she is happy for her new gift even though it is my little Brother and my choice. Jayson is sitting down in a living room there at Lack's Furniture Store he liked the colors cause he was happy and posing.

The Reason of my Life

2008-11-21T09:31:00.001-06:00

He is the reason of my life. He is the reason of me been Thankful for all the blessing the Lord has given me this past 7 months. He is the reason I wake up at 5:00 AM without any questions whether I am still sleepy or tired. I am so grateful of being blessed with this gorgeous baby boy which I love dearly. There are not enough words for me to express my gratitude but God knows how thankful I am and always be. I am blessed.

Thank You! I Love You Jayson ;)

Ready for Thanksgiving

2008-11-19T09:39:00.001-06:00

As you may already know Jayson already turned 7 Months and he is ready for his 1st Thanksgiving. He is learning how to crawl and already plays with items and keeps moving them

place to place and changing them from his hands. I couldn't find his binky yesterday so I gave him a new one, he would see it and throw it away it is a different color his actual one is blue and the new one is green he was looking for his blue binky. After this he will be ready for the holidays. We went to the his pediatrician and he weighs 16.3 lbs already and 27 inches long his doctor said he looks very big from the last visit and is healthy in all aspects. Mornings have been in the low fourties so Jayson leaves the house all covered up he can barely move (jk). Later throughout the day it get to the high 70's so its just the morning when it is cold.

He Turned 7 Months!!

2008-11-19T09:28:00.000-06:00

This pictures were taken when he turned 7 months. I guess he was too tired to be posing for pictures at the time cause one he was hungry and immediately went to sleep after I fed him I tried taking pictures to send out to family for Thanksgiving but didnt work out maybe next time.

TGIF!

2008-11-14T13:39:00.001-06:00

Yesterday Jayson turned 7 Months, we didn't do anything exciting, we sat in the living room and took pictures which I will post later. Time is going by very fast, we are now planning for Thanksgiving Day, which Jayson and I will be going over to Jesses' house. My mom doesn't want to do much at the house she says its time for someone else in the family to invite her this year. True she has been doing Thanksgiving dinner over at the house for the past twelve years if not more. She says she is tired and would like to be catered this time. Today we should go over to Jesse's house and spend time over there take some pictures with his brother and sister and Sunday we are going over to the ranch and take more pictures with my family members in celebration of his seventh month anniversary. My maternal grandmother had surgery on Wednesday she is home already doing fine, we are visiting her later and then go over to Rio Grande City. My grandmother calls about every afternoon cause she wants to talk to Jayson over the phone, Jayson can't talk yet but he sure makes noises and pretends to talk hmhmh that will make a nice pose for one of his pictures. I don't have much to say now. I'll come back on Monday to summerize my weekend.

Thursday Night Lights, !!Go Coyotes Go!!

2008-11-07T08:13:00.000-06:00

Last night we went to the La Joya HS and Rio Grande City HS Football game, for years these two schools have always been rivals. Unfortunately, we lost 23-29 but after all it was a great game. We finally got an inflatable helmet where our boys come out at the beginning of the game and into 3rd Quarter. Jayson had a blast, he would sit down and watch the plays and together with me would cheer upon the crowd. With him in one of the pictures is his sister Danika she is 10 years old and attends La Union Elementary in Rio Grande City CISD. His dad Jesse and brother Jesse were on the visitors side (Rio Grande City Rattlers) Jesses' Alma Matter.

6 Months and Counting

2008-10-14T08:12:00.000-05:00

He turned 6 Months. Half a year already, time has gone so fast.

He's all ready to visit my sister-in-law and my nephew Roelito.

He is a guy on the go. He is always ready to go somewhere, anywhere.

Back From Mexico

2008-10-14T08:07:00.001-05:00

This pictures were taken Sunday night at the

Intl Bridge in Rio Grande City Texas, Jayson

got a pretty bit fussy being in the line for almost

an hour and a half so I decided to get him out of

the carrier and put him to the wheel then he

wouldn't let go of it.

"I Missed Him"

2008-10-07T14:11:00.001-05:00

Here is Saulito showing love to Jayson. He turns around and tells me

"I Missed Him". Note that he had not seen Jayson for the past three weeks.

"Take Me Out To The Ball Game"

2008-10-07T14:02:00.000-05:00

This teddy bear was given to him by his Father Jesse, his sister Danika and his big brother Jesse. He really enjoys spending his time with this teddy bear, you pull down the string and his cheeks turn red and they blink Jayson plays much of the time with this bear he still needs to learn to pull on the string himself. Ooh it plays the tune "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." It reminds me when we had to see the Chicago Cubs play, only because that was what my brother liked to watch afterschool.

Foot for Food

2008-10-07T13:57:00.001-05:00

Jayson seems not to know the difference between foot and food. As he gets a chance he starts to pull off his socks and starts to bite on his foot. Makes me wonder!

Meet Saulito (a.k.a. Spiderman, Peter Parker, Superman & Batman)

2008-10-02T10:23:00.001-05:00

Saulito, is my sister Selene's baby. He will turn 3 in October. He pretends to be Spiderman, then he is in the mood to be Superman and why not Batman too. They left on a summer vacation to Hawaii, he would not take his Superman's Cape of all throughout the trip, people at the airport wouldn't stop starring. He was cool about it, I guess everyone else was invisible to him cause he continued walking with his cape and sunglasses on. One day he was acting a part of the Spiderman movie when Peter Parker losses his glasses, Saulito was on his knees looking for them and saying :Where are my glasses" he is one of a kind. He likes to act big cousin with Jayson, he want to carry him, feed him except he will not be close by when we are changing diapers. He lives in Selma, Texas and attends a daycare ran by a group of nuns (I don't know the name) you will be suprised the day he doesn't come home with a complaint from the other kids. He is adorable!

Fall, not a good start!

2008-10-01T16:13:00.000-05:00

Jayson has been sick since Sunday night, Monday was not a good day for him or me at all. I prayed and asked our Lord if he could only transfer his temperature and coughing to me. I could see how uncomfortable he was. He was just not the same all smiles and goooing he already does. Tuesday, I called home at about 3:00 p.m. and Mom said he was about 80% better, when I got home I saw the change on him he was laughing and happy to see me. I didn't want to take more chances for another down day so I took him to the Pediatrician and he gave me some medication even though his coughing is almost gone. The doc said "He doesn't seem to be sick at all" Jayson was smiling and observing a table decoration with lights he was getting a thrill of how the lights were changing. Thank You LORD! He is a lot better today.

2008-09-30T13:27:00.000-05:00

Sunday, family gathering to celebrate Jayson's baptism, Uncles, Cousins almost everyone!! Ending a beautiful sunny day at the Ranch
