Happy Brithday

Today Dominique Micheal Aguiar was born. He came into the world at 9:20 am & was 7 lbs. 14 oz. Even though there is much concern with his Mama, he is healthy and already so loves.

Congratulations Becky & Dom. I know he will grow up to be just like his Pap and adore his Mama.

I come in thirds

This is how I explain myself usually. My other half is Simon, my other, other half is Jessica, and my other, other, other half is Becky! They know me the best & life it so great because of them. So it's been somewhat of an emotional roller coaster since one of my half's is in the hospital. Please pray for Becky that God would touch & heal her body. The news at times had not been good but we are praying for a true miracle. I know the Lord we serve is in control but I have had my moments of weakness.

God I thank you for giving me such a great Friend in Becky. She is my go to person for almost everything. We laugh & sometimes cry together. Please keep your hand over her & baby Dominique. Please get her through this and let us all remember to tell the ones we love that we love them ALL the time.

Thank God for In-Laws

So Sunday I woke up sooo sick. I was not doing so well so I had to cancel babysitting for the next few days. I felt so bad for Isaac because he pretty much had to entertain himself. So when my father in-law called on Wednesday night asking if he could pick up Isaac the next day I was all for it. He loves spending time with them & he spends the night with them on a pretty average basis. It gave me a little break but also it gave him some much needed time to play & get out of the house.

So while he was there I call to see how he was & my sis-in-law wanted to talk :

Rach:So I have to tell you something.
Me: okay what?
Rach: Okay let me say first that it's going to stay at our house.
Me: okay what?
Rach: Guess?
Me: (thinking.....a drum set, something loud???) I don't know what?
Rach: A hamster!
Me: (laughing) What? A hamster. Really?
Rach: yah, instead of going to Target & buying him a toy my dad decided to take him to the pet shop and we got him a hamster.
Me: This kid is too spoiled.
Rach: Guess what he named him?
Me: What?
Rach: Simon

So needless to say that day he got a harmonica & a Hamster (that is going to stay at his Nani & Papa's house). I am so thankful that they love my little guy soooo much. Even if it's a loud toy or something I may not be so thrilled with, I know how much he is adored. What I am really thankful for is the fact that "Simon" will be staying at my in-laws. Now that is love! All I could think was great ANOTHER animal? We already have 2 dogs & for Isaac's birthday he got a pet fish, he named him "Five" by the way. And well you know who gets to take care of them, yup you guessed it, Mommy!

Well thank you guys for spoiling him and giving his so many great childhood memories. We love you Nani, Papa, Tia Rachel, & Auntie Ina.

P.S. I will blog with some pictures as soon as I get to see " Simon".

Maybe he will be a singer????

Isaac knows how to sing "Happy Birthday to you", at home we have to sing to everyone & I mean everyone. It usually takes about a half hour but it's what he loves to do. At his Nina & Nino's they have a karaoke machine that he loves to play with. Well he was singing for everyone & it was too cute. When I thought to record him this was all I got but you kind of get the idea??

Once Again I am so sorry

I have been getting it from all ends. Family & friends have all asked why the heck have I not been keeping up with my blog. I know, I know, I have no excuse I just have not been including it in my day. This is something I love to do but I just have not been making the time for ME! So now I am. So I have allot to catch up on. So you might have to go back awhile because as I upload pictures & remember the date it may be out of order but I promise to TRY to cover all the big & little moments that I can remember or have proof of..... :). So let me try this thing again.

Am I getting thru to him.......

You know as a parent of a boy you have to use different discipline tactics at times. So one that I use is counting to 3, it works but Isaac will wait to "3" to come to me or to listen. Well yesterday he was outside with his daddy & his dogs. All of a sudden Simon comes in laughing & says "you know what your son just did? He told Shug (our Rottweiler) to go outside". We have a doggy door from the garage to the backyard, so I guess he wanted him out. Well Shug was not listening to him so he proceeded to tell him again but this time in a stern voice and then he want on to say..... " 1 - 2- 3". Not sure what was going to happen on "3" but it sure was funny. So I guess I am affecting him, but I also need to make sure I am always loving because he is mimicking EVERYTHING.
