Feliz Cumpleaños!!

...so, shamefully, I had to Google how to say "Happy Birthday" in Spanish. Seeing as how I was NEVER required to take one spanish class my entire highschool career and that I live in America and never once stepped foot on Mexican soil...Google is my friend.

Anyweiners, Today is my hubby's birthday! The big 2-7! We went out to eat lunch today at a YUMMY local Mexican Restaurant and...HERE IS THE BIRTHDAY BOY MAN!!

He looks soo excited! I know! haha :o) I had to leave lunch early to be back at work, so His dad took this pic and emailed it to me.

SO Happy Birthday Honey!!! Hope this year is as wonderful as the last...or maybe, the year before that....scratch that! Hope this year is better than EVER!

baby news...or not!?

I am so anxious to get back to my next OB appointment I have had NO actual sickness.....Nauseated? HECK YEAH! but never get sick. I am not sure if that worries me or if I should rejoice and thank the pregnancy gods (or how about the ONE & ONLY God!) that I haven't gotten "sick sick". Cravings seem to be the same...hamburgers, sweets, lettuce and tomato...PLAIN! sometimes tomato wrapped in the lettuce...hmm, new recipe!? Maybe so!? ...HMM..

Lettuce Tomato Wraps

-Some lettuce (preferably chopped from a head of lettuce...

it's just fresher!)

-Some slices of tomato

Directions:

Lay out lettuce place tomato slices in lettuce & wrap!

VOILA!! ;) Pregnant girls dream...well maybe just mine!

ENJOY!

Seriously...I was kidding...but it really is yummy! Anyways...on with my life.

Reagan is growing like a FLOWER!! (not weeds...weeds are ugly and unwanted. haha) She is about to be 1 year old and I am so excited about planning her birthday party...Zebra print and pink and would you believe that I actually found zebra print and pink paper plates at Hobby Lobby this weekend! I was SOOO excited! :o) I was really not expecting to find ANY kind of decor with zebra print on it for a birthday party...especially not plates & napkins...oops! forgot to mention the napkins! My aunt is even going to make her a zebra print dress! and I can't wait to show you all what it looks like!! :O) It's cute...I can definitely tell you that much!! ;)

Have I mentioned that my husbands birthday is this week!? He's excited about being old...haha! We are going down to the beach for his birthday. He's excited...I'm excited...we are all so excited! WE LOVE the beach! :o)

Anyweiners....I guess thats all I got for ya today...nothing too terribly exciting has been going on so no excited blogs...OOH! EXCEPT FOR MY NEW RECIPE ENTRY TODAY! ;)

Wishlist Wednesday!

I got this from a blog I follow and it looked like fun and with a brand new baby on the way I figured I could share my NEEDlist wishlist! so..sit back, take out your debit/credit cards and enjoy!

Edit: Checks made payable to Rachel, thanks!

*I LOVE this stroller! How AWESOME will it be to have to little girls ones in this stroller cruising around the mall/neighborhood/apartment complex/post....wherever we end up going! ugh...man. One day I will have this! I promise...this one is not so far outta my reach, but it's still on my need wish list!

*I really want to decorate a baby room! Once hubs and I finally move into a more permanent residence, I pray I will be able to decorate like I want. Pretty bedding and all! The 1st picture is for a boy (which I LOVE THE PAPER LANTERNS!!) and the 2nd picture is obviously for a baby girl! I would LVOE to decorate Reagan's room better too! I love the striped walls in the girl's nursery! SO CUTE!

*This technically is not baby-related...but...ya know, a girl's gotta dream! I would KILL for an outdoor kitchen similar to this! how FABULOUS would it be!? drool with me........ok, now STOP! you are getting it on my brand new stanless steel grill and stone walk-way! :) hehe. (picture compliments of kitchen.com)

I am so sure there are LOTS of other things...but this is all I felt like doing for now. I hope you guys enjoyed!

BTW, I am a paypal acct user. ;)

Baby on Board!

So..I do apoligize, once again, for my lack of updates! But I was waiting to post about this one particular thing....

WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!! That's right peoples...ANOTHER one. Let's just pray that this child is less dramatic after it's born than Reagan was! I really would not like to go back to Children's Hospital for anything but check-ups for Reagan.

So we are super excited! and naturally Hubs is really wanting a boy...I, on the other hand am not a fan of the name we "HAVE" to give him so I am rooting for another girl!

I am 8 weeks pregnant and doing fine! Despite a little bit of nausea and gassy-ness (ha! Sorry if TMI!) soo stay tuned for updates! My next OB appt. is on August 13th! (Reagan's birthday!!)

Pray for a healthy baby!!

Future Cheerleader!

Speaks for itself...As a former cheerleader of 12 years you can understand my excitement that this moment was caught of Reagan throwing up her "We're #1" finger!! :o)

The picture of me was taking with my cousin at her sister's cheer camp....my cousin and I got excited and took cheerleading pose pictures! haha :) Just call me "AUNT Rico"!!

Future Army Wife....yep, thats me!

So, after lots of prayer and talking it out, my Husband has decided to join the Army! I am THRILLED! This new lifestyle will give us the opportunity to travel and see places I have never seen and probably would NEVER see, and that makes me the MOST excited about the Army way of life!

Chad is in MEPS today and will be home later this afternoon! He took his ASVAB yesterday and did EXTREMELY WELL! I am SOO proud of him!! :o) We are running into an obstacle that is holding him back from enlisting early, so if you don't mind, PLEASE pray for that! I know everything will work out, it's just taking a while to get everything in order. He is supposed to go to Basic in October and if all goes well that will happen! I'm just praying for that really hard right now. He seems real excited about joining and definitely ready to have that extra income that we don't have right now. We are definitely following God with this one!

*HOOAH!*
