New Year :) Better late then never #pregnancyproblems:S

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
We brought in the New Year at the Schumann residence.  It was fun and eventful :) We played pictionary, girls vs. boys and of course the boys cheated LOL 

OMG OMG OMG  Im excited about this year SO many things to look forward to, especially the birth of our little blessing.  Im scared to death of labor and delivery But I am coming to terms with it and figure its in gods hands. He has blessed us so we will continue to be blessed and I will have a smooth delivery.  Im leaving it I'm his hands :) #butwithoutfaithHebrews11:6

 This is me at 20 weeks.  People think I'm small but I beg to differ LOL...

thankfully no maternity clothes yet.  Still in my size 4 jeans with a belly band :)

 we went in for our 20 week ultrasound when i was about 21 weeks.

Here is our princess yawnig :)

Side few of the bundle of joy.

We got invited to Round 1 bowling alley to celebrate this big kids birthday.  Hard to believe he is 17 already.  I went to go and spend some time with the family.  I didn't bowl because of the obvious pregnancy.

I went out to lunch with a long time friend this month :) I love that when I see her it reminds me that some friendships haven't changed :) as a result of life and the accident I have noticed a whole lot of changes in my relationships with others.  It's sad but ok life happens.  #healthylunch

 

Though i'm preggers I'm still on that workout grind when I have the energy.  So, depending on the weather and my energy level I walk about 3x a week.  Not much but I figure something is better the nothing :) I also do squats and this arm workout every time I walk.  So again I don't do a whole lot but I figure something is better then nothing.

 

I got to spend some time with this little guy.  He is such a character.   The fact that I'm a Great Aunt still amazes me all the time.  He is such a good little boy, and such a character.  #CyrusHazzouk

Ive still been experimenting with my cooking :) this chicken meal but not great :S I try to make healthy choices these days.

Being pregnant and knowing that a whole lot of expenses are soon to arrive it was hard for me to buy what I needed.  SO, the hubby went ahead and bought it for me with no problem it seems.  My sleep was getting highly unconfortable and this body pillow has been a life saver.  I can't even believe I didn't even know about this pillow before hand.  Pregnant or not it is a penny well spent.  Best investment thus far in this pregnancy.  Thankfully the pregnancy has not been that bad at all except for the disturbance in sleep into order to urinate and having a lot of hiccups :S Other then that the pregnancy has been so pleasant.  At times its hard to believe we are going to be SO blessed.  I told myself don't let this pregnancy get in the way of you living your life so maybe thats why I was out until 4am for Sean's birthday.  But, the next day trust I felt it and thought how in the heck did I do this when I was younger LOL

A whole lot of baby shower shots :) Yes my best friend Jamila is pregggers too.  Its amazing.  I'm glad I'm not going through this on my own.  I currently know several people that are expecting.  like a neighbor, Jamila, Tiffany Rubio just to name a few...

Its been a eventful month and I don't see it slowing down.  We shall see what February brings :) I hope everyone else had an eventful month as well.

Stay blessed people :) I am SO proud of myself I haven't missed a Sunday in church yet :) I enjoy going to church and praising him for all that he has done :) I thank him everyday :)  #PraiseGod:)

Heck of a year December 2016 in review (Better late then never)

Its Been one heck of a year.  I have totally enjoyed ALL of it.  All the ups & downs of life.  Instead of boring everyone and reviewing the whole year I will just recap the end of the year. I'm just going to do the month of December.  The month like the year has been tons of fun.

I believe a lot of people know now, and yes we are totally excited.  After s LONG time we are finally expecting.  Our little June bug is due to make her arrival in June 2017.  Yes, it is a girl and the nickname suits until she has a real name.  I am 18 weeks as of Sunday 1/8/2017.  #timeisflyingIfeel,likewejustfoundout It wasn't that we were keeping the pregnancy a secret, I just wanted to wait til I was out of my first trimester to make the announcement.  It's funny, at times I find myself thinking is this real LOL...and it is SO real.  Up until recently I didn't feel pregnant just fat LOL but now I'm feeling more pregnant,  the belly is coming slowly but surely :) we are SO excited and SO blessed to be going through this especially after all we have been through.  #difficult5+years:S

Random belly shot :)

Then we got invited to have some birthday fun with the Burrell family.  We went on a scafinger hunt in the city of Riverside and got to experience what downtown Riversids night wife had to offer.  They had a couple cool spots.  Then the following weekend we got invited to a murder mystery dinner.  It actually was a lot of fun.

Then for Christmas Ev we went to my family's house like we usually do.  It was a nice small Christmas :)   Then, Christmas Day we went to a brunch at the Burrell house.  Lots of fun there as well.

Then we eased our way into the new year.  We decided to attend a game night at the Schmann residence.  We had tons of fun there as well,  I believe the guys are cheaters LOL

So on to the new year we go.  Just pushing forward. I really don't have any expectations for the new year.  I'm not a big New Years resolution type person.  So we shall see where this new year takes us.  I'm assuming it will be a lot of fun, especially when June bug enters the picture.

Hope everyone else had a GREAT new years and as good of a year as we did :)

November 2016 in review (Brandon's Birthday Month)

This is November in review :) it is still Scorpio season :) 

I can't believe it is almost the end of another yar, time just keeps on flying bye.  

As most of you know I have this new LOVE to cook. attitude  Which is pleasing to both me and the hubby :) So Ive been trying to be a little healthier SO I tried this taco salad.  It was SO good :) 

 Then the first weekend of the month we had to head down to San Diego like we always do :) it is a tradition :) Timeshares are a sucker for some people, but thankfully we bought ours at the right time, and they always try to get us to upgrade but we haven't.  We just attend the seminars to get free stuff and learn about new stuff.  Like the option we learned about last time the bonus points/bucks we've had it for SO long and did know about it :S We have had the timeshare for SO long. and just have been using it the way we are supposed to, to our benefit alone has been the last 4-5 years, and it has been SO nice :)  We hit up a few spots in gas lamp and found this one place we LOVE & they had the best french fries.  Flethy fries with pot roast, we had some & I was in heaven with them :)

San Diego Guild Festival
The gaslamp also had some black lives matters events going on that we were able to partake in.  It was SO cool :)

Then when after spending the night in San Diego we had to head home to set up for the game of the year.  The Raiders vs. Broncos.  We SO had a silver & black get together & had a great turn out & a GREAT time :) it was so much fun :) we had a house full of people :) Brandon hooked up some yummy tri-tip and vegeteables that I seasoned and potatoe salad, and of course brownies for dessert.  I LOVE Costco.  The man cave banner you see my parents gave to Brandon for his birthday :) its a sweat banner.  It SO fits in the man cave :) Im SO glad we got into that Bronco ass :) We had a good turn out and a good result and we are only half way through the season leading our division :) More games will see us this year.  We are SO grateful that we are in a position to continue to enjoy the things we do :) We are already talking about several games that may see us in the near future.

Then the following weekend we attended a family wedding in Newport.  It was a gorgeous wedding only draw back was that it was on a Sunday, but we dealt with it :)

Wedding photo
I actually got all but but got COLD like I always do :S

Thing got hectic for me and I didn't updaate my blog weekly like I usually do so I had to use my memory :S We where more then halfway through the month and headed to Sharkeys in Newport Beach for a friends birthday.

The best of the best of people were in attendance for Shaniekas birthday :) 

it was GREAT seeing everyone and catching up with everyone :) 

Then the Raiders had a BIG Monday night football game :) So we headed to BWW with some friends and had a GREAT time :) The Raiders won the game and are still leading the division :) It was another GREAT experience :) We need to get together with people more often :) 

Then before we knew it the Holidays hit :S Like, we do most years we went to my parents house and had a fest over there :) Its hard to make a bunch of food and then transport it but well worth it :) 

Then that Friday we caught a flight to San Francisco and spent the rest of the weekend up there in union square :) We have returned up north since my injury and this was our first time staying up there.  Like always we had a GREAT time.  So thankful we got to experience this with GREAT friends :) We went all out for this game and lived the catered, Suite life :) it was perfect :) I'm beyond grateful and thankful that we get to still experience this stuff.  We are still debating other games as well :S The following is a load  of pictures from the weekend :) 

This guy totally enjoyed his tailgatting experience :) 

 Thankfully using the BART was not to hard :) got from point A to B and back without a problem

I couldn't hit up San Francisco and not go to Fishermans Wharf and get me a bowl of Clam Chowder.  The weather up north was perfect fro a nice warm bowl of soup :) 

Union square was all decked out with the christmas lights 

We got to do so much and experience so much in a weekend.  It was a GREAT trip but nothing beats being back home.  Now its time for me to get Christmas ready :S #So not looking forward to it :S not that I'm a grinch just don't know anything these days :S my xmas tree may be empty :S #thisxmasSUCKS
