Sunday Funday

Yeah, I know it's already Tuesday, but I wanted to share our family outing. Which we have decided to make a family tradition for Sundays. We decided to take a trip down town to Market Square. It is a little market that is rich in Mexican culture. There are yummy restaurants chalk full of enchiladas, rice, beans and margaritas..yum! There are panderias aka bakeries which sell the yummiest Mexican pasteries and cookies. Probably chalk full of lard, but delicious none the less. Best part is you can buy beer and walk around and shop at all the different tiendas aka shops, which have goodies from Mexico. All in all it makes for a satisfying trip, especially if you are not familiar with these things.


After grabbing some a quick bite to eat out on the patio of a local restaurant we walked around and took in the people. Jack wanted to ride a mechanical bull and Roland wanted to listen to the music.. I just wanted to shop, so we did it all.


































Me and the mister looking pleasantly PLUMP. This picture has inspired me to start up my P90X, FOR REAL this time! I also got Mr. O excited about doing it by making it a competition. hehe

No One Ever Told Me

I thought motherhood was hard before, back when I was single. I was so wrong. I look back at those times and while it was hard being alone it wasn't all that much harder. Now, being a wife and a mother of two. That is hard. I gained 2 more people to take care of...

No one ever told me that this would be hard. Enjoyable and worth every blood, sweat and tear but hard.

Add being a full time student into that mix and you have yourself a full blown crazy woman. I have no more me time and if I do I feel guilty about it.

I have wanted to post a witty fun blog for the past couple months. Nothing has come out of it. I don't even think I have any followers anymore.. my fault. So anyways...

I now have a sarcastic fun loving 4 year old and a 10 month old that we swear is training for a food eating contest. Livi, Livi, Livi.. that girl can eat. She is going to take over Man vs. Food one day, no joke. She can eat an entire grilled cheese sandwich, fries, fruit, baby puffs(only mothers of babies know these heaven sent treats) and a bottle. She is like a dog, whenever I try sneaking a cookie she can smell it and immediately crawls fast over to my feet. It's odd. The weirdest part is she has no teeth. None. She gums everything.. she makes it work.

Jack is becoming such a little man. But he is still such a big baby. The boy cries for EVERYTHING. He started crying the other day because when he blew his nose it was too loud. I am starting to save now for him, not because of college but because of therapy sessions in his future. If you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, his most recent reply is an acrobat. ???

Never a dull moment in the O House.
