WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!! 

My due date is September 23rd!! We are so excited for Liliana to have a brother or sister. They will be about 2 years and 10 months apart, and I'm sure they will be best friends! We are so happy and are looking forward to the new addition to our family. We feel so blessed to be having another child!

I went to the doctor this week and so far so good! I was having pretty bad morning sickness but it has recently just subsided a little and I am so grateful for that. Already this pregnancy has been different then with Liliana. It is just so exciting!!

9 WEEKS!

• I know I'm not very good at updating our blog some times so I just wanted to write a little update with a few new pictures of Liliana. 
• Liliana is 27 months now and is finally realizing the power of being a two year old. She loves to watch movies a few of her favorite are Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, and her newest one Lion King. We took her to see Beauty and the Beast, and Lion King in 3D when they were in theaters. She really enjoyed it and ate lots of popcorn. She also loves Mickey mouse and has a stuffed Minnie mouse that is her favorite and has to go everywhere with her. She loves princess anything and is really such a girly girl.. She is also a total Daddy's girl and cant wait until Javis walks threw the door in the evenings. She loves to dance to music and to Skype. Every time the computer is on its "I wanna talk to Gam'ma" She is a lot of fun and there is never ever a dull moment in our house.She is also realizing how Mom does so much for her so when she asks me where her Minnie is for example , I'll say its in your room go get in and she responds with "Mommy get it". ahh my little sweet heart is realizing the power of those baby blue eyes : ). She is talking more and more everyday and knows more and more animals and colors every time I ask her! She sleeps in a big bed now and is doing really well, of coarse it matches her zebra room and she is just so excited to sleep in it every night. She is also working really hard on potty training and goes as many as four times in the potty a day. But she still has accidents so she is in diapers still. But she is getting so close!
• As for us we are doing great and loving life. Javis is working hard like usual and is busy busy. We are getting ready to go on our cruise this Saturday we leave!! I am so excited and cannot wait. I'm so grateful that my mom took all this time off her 3 jobs to come stay with Liliana at our house. I feel so comfortable knowing that she will be here and that Liliana will have everything she could possibly need! Also when we are gone by Grandpa is going to come stay for a couple days so that he can see Liliana and spend some time with my Mom. I'm so thankful for family and how much time they put into Liliana. She is the luckiest little girl to be able to have her Great Grandpa around so much! All our family does so much for us and is such a big part of Liliana's life.

TILE me Crazy

So a couple months ago we put up a back splash in our kitchen. We wanted to just give our kitchen a new look. I was super excited and figured it would be pretty easy since we had some neighbors that did it themselves a while back & seemed to think it was pretty easy. So we went to Lowes and the guy there got us everything we needed and gave us a crash course on tile work. We were feeling pretty confident and putting the tiles up was pretty easy. We had to let them sit for 24 hours before we grouted, and we were just admiring our work and feeling pretty confident. Javis was even saying how we could do some tile work in our bath rooms and we were really excited. We wanted the tiles to have a rich color so we used a black colored grout. For any of you who have tiled you know how messy grouting can be... anyways we got threw it and we are so so happy with the outcome. But it was so hard to get all the grout off every single small tile. My kitchen was covered in black dust and so were we! Javis changed his mind at the end of grouting and said no more tile projects : ) but I'm glad we did it ourselves and I'm so proud of it because I know how much hard work went into it!!
