Mikey says:"We went to santa barbara yesterday and Sunday and it was so much fun.  I did not like it cause my sister was whiney most of the way up there and all I wanted to do was sleep.  We got a room, then went to eat by the beach!  It was really nice.  Then the next day we went to downtown and mommy got Kathy a stamp set and me a nice warm outfit!  After that we went to the pier and they got ice cream, I just got milk :(  Mommy took Kathy to the beach while daddy and I slept and then we went home.  But we stopped for some yummy steak on the way and it was nice to get home and lay in my bed.  I was in the carseat so long my bottom feel alseep!"

Does is ever end?  And now with 4 of us, I have to really do it 2x a week if I want a life...Good thing is I go to my MIL so I get to visit while doing it and it's not so bad...But really, can't there be another way to clean clothes?  lol

I just had a long talk with my husband and sister-in-law.  I was in tears at the end and am just so frustrated.  Not because of them, but because of the person we were talking about.  See my sister-in-law, my husband brother's wife, has been so mean and just weird lately.  I've never really gotten along that much, not that we fight or anything.  She just does not talk to me, and I'm polite when I see her.  I don't talk trash about her nor do I ignore her or anything like that.  She does this to me though, the family says that she is jelous of me, though I can't see why.  I am of her, but for normal reason, such as her being able to talk in spanish with my mom-in-law.  My mom-in-law and I talk, alot, I just feel that I could talk to her so much more and easier if I was more fluent in it.  And I'm jelous that she has all her family, most important her mom close to her.  They say she is jelous of me cause she thinks the family loves me more then her.  I don't know if it's true, don't really care as I just want us to get along.  Her daughter and mine are the same age and love each other.  Problem is that she never asks her to come over and vice versa.  I can't ask her as I know it would be a "NO!" Honestly, anyway, she has been ignoring me more and more and did not even come to by daughter's b-day party.  From what I know, she did not even tell her husband, my husband's brother, and they are best friends.  On top of that she had her family get together to celebrate her sister's b-day at our resturant so they could not come either.  I had invited them too, since their children love my baby as well.  And to make things worse, she is now ignoring my girl and being cold to her too, right infront of her baby and husband....I just can't take it anymore!!!!  I've resolved just to never go out of my way to talk to her or anything as I just don't get anywhere.  As for my neice, when I see her, I love it, though it's not often anymore.......What to do, it's not up to me, I'll still be nice, try to be the better person and not act like a child in this, but when my baby asks to play with her cousin, my heart gets sad, and I get angry at her for being like this...I know shame on me, but I'm only human....

Yesterday the in-laws came to visit.  It was so nice as they often don't come over.  I love them very much, they are my family as mine are 3000 miles away.  I go to their house alot, and it was nice for them to come here.  My husband came home early and we spent a couple hours just talking to them about the resturant.  It was very nice.  I hope we can do this lot more often!

For the past 6 weeks or so I have been feeling sick.  I have been taking my medicine, yet I'm not getting better.  I had to have my husband take my daughter to his moms' house for the day as I just feel to achy to be able to be up much.  I miss her and she has been such a great helper lately.  I just can't handle all of the demands that both babies need physically right now.  My husband is so supportive of me and knows that when I have to lay down, that its to much for me.  I just don't know when it will stop.  I never have had it go this long, while on medicine, except when I first go ill.  I feel like I'm at my limit, I just pray I get relief from it soon, a break. 

I've finally got my daughter to take her naps again and she is slowly catching up on her sleep!  Today is the wonderful laundry day :(  I don't mind doing it, it's just heavy to lug around and it takes hours.  Hopefully though it will be done for the week and I forget about it for another 7 days!!! lol. 

Katheryn says:"Mom and daddy said that they are going to take us to City Walk tonight.  Daddy is at work now, but he said that he would be coming home early so we could go out.  He finally is coming home more.  I still go some days without seeing him, but he has to make sure that everyone is doing things right at the Bakery.  They are working hard to get the schedules nice so that he can take more time off and not have to work 18 hours everyday without a break!!!

Ok, I know I've been blogging, and it's been nice, but this spot is for my babies, so here they are!!

Katheryn says:"Today mommy is going to take us to the park and to the mall.   She said I need some nice dress outfits and Mikey needs some warmer clothes.  Then we get to have a picknick at the park!  It's really nice here and they say it's only going to get warmer in the next few days...Yeah!!!"

Mikey says" I just wanna sleep, I'm tired :)  Where's my milk?"

Well today I get a day off from being mommy, at least to my little girl.  Hubby was really nice and came home to take her to grandmas.  I packed her food, carrot, celery with peanutbutter and a turkey sandwich.  I think doing this when ever she goes out will help in the whole food issue.  I had a break down this morning with my hubby talking to him about it.  He was getting upset that I was stressing, and I told him, I just need your support right now!  Which he did.  It's hard cause I have such issues with self esteem and body image and food.  The last thing I want is for my babies to go thru that and I have to get myself ok with me before I can make sure I can handle them.  But buying only good food and packing my babes food will help me ensure that she has that option of eating healthy.  Along with me starting to teach her why we eat and what to eat, I hope to lay that foundation of healthy eating for her and to spare her worring about being overweight.  We have enough health issues in our family, I don't obesity to be one more.  But enough of that...

I'm taking a break with my baby boy, just resting and getting to do some clothes shopping, my fav!!!!  Gotta get the winter stuff for everyday and Chruch :)  but first, popcorn!!!!!

Since yesterday's dr appt I have been going nuts about my daughter.  I'm so distraught because of her being overweight.  Her cousin was very chunky and so I feel like I should be able to get help from the family.  I'm just to worried because I've told them before and they said they would help, but then they went back to their old ways.  I feel bad because I feel like I'm the bad guy and being mean when I tell them that they she already ate cause she is standing there wanting to eat what they have.  And that's my biggest delema.  Not matter when she eats, if she sees someone eating she wants some too.  When we are at the house I can limit her easily, but when we go out to the families house, which is alot, then she is constanly eating and those calories add up.  Especially when they have chips, soda, fast food.  French fries are her favorite, but I've told her no more fast food.  And candy.  When she goes to church, they get her candy and chips all the time.  Even when I Pack snacks, they don't always give them to her and instead they buy the junk food.  I'm really at a loss as this really bothers me....

I just got home from the doctors for the babies.  Mikey is doing great, already 9lbs!!!!  but on the small side still.  I'm not worried about that as he is gaining weight very nicely.  Kathy is doing great as well, but she only grew about 1/2 in the past 8 months and is now overweight.  The dr said no "diet" yet, but she said that I need to limit her on what she eats and to remove all the "junk" food from her diet.  No prob, my daughter loves her veggies and fruits.  It'll be easy here at the house, but when we go out to the family, thats another story.  I can tell them how to feed her and what she can and can't have, but there are times she goes to her cousins house, and her mom and I don't get along.  I don't know how to tell her not to feed my daughter, as she likes to give her own daughter candy, gum and chips, which I don't like anyway for my baby to eat.  Not that she is going over there, I don't think, but if my mother-in-law has to watch her, and my neice is home, there is a good chance that my daughter will end up going to my neices house, and then what?  I'm not going to completely cut out the bad stuff, just cut back alot.  I've always been very stricked with her food, the family on the other hand lets her eats all the time, which I think has contributed to the weight gain.  Anyway, we'll see, as long as my husband understand and I can talk to my sis-in-laws and they all try to help me with my daughter.  I just hope that the other one does not make an issue as I said, we don't talk and I am not happy with her at this time anyway.  But that is a whole other story.....

Mikey says:"today I had my hearing test and I passed with flying colors!  My mommy had to put me to sleep so they could do the test.  They put this cold gel on me then these funny looking ear muffs.  What a day!  Then we went to the bakery to eat and see daddy.  It was really fun."

Katheryn and Mikey say:" Grandma Agua left yesterday and is was very sad for us.  We got to go to the Bakery one last time to eat with her and then we had to take her to the airport.  Mommy cried all the way home and we saw grandma crying too.  It was a great week that we had with her, and we hope to see her again soon.  It's not fair that she lives so far away and that we can see her when ever we want...Until next time.  Bye Grandma Agua!

Katheyrn says: Grandma is here and it's been alot of fun!!!  I can't belive how fast time has gone by.  She has to leave in 2 days and I'm going to miss her so much!  Daddy is supposed to be coming home early so we can spend time together and go out.  I can't wait I miss him so much too.  He is always working is gone before I get up and gets home after I go to bed.  But he told me that it will all change soon so we can spend time together again...

Kathyern says:"My grandma Auga is coming this friday to visit.  I have not seen her since I went to her house in Feb. Mom says that she is going to help with my birthday party and is going to stay with us a whole week!!!  I can't wait.  My daddy has been working very hard at our resturant and I got to see him today and got to eat there, it was alot of fun.  Not much else is happening now, but this weekend will be busy as I'm finally getting my b-day party!!!!!
