Its a baby.......

baby girl... we found yesterday afternoon.. and we still cant belive it. All through my sisters pregnancy everyone told her she was having a boy. So we really thought it was going to be a boy. But yesterday, at 7 months they told her it was a girl. They had to check 3 times because my sister couldnt believe it. The doctor kept telling her, no look, 100% girl. My sister kept asking, are you sure doctor? We were really excited though. Time to buy pink and purple outfits. Its funny because, she all ready had a name picked out for a boy, boyish colors, the room layout and now that we found out its a girl, she really has no idea. We will work on it though. We are still in Mexico. We will go back Sunday. Enjoy the ultrasound pictures.
The doctor even circled to show her she was a girl!
In this picture, you could clearly see the babys face. She is so cute!! She looks just like her tia martha. haha!

Two moms, two pregnant ladies and me!!

Today we went to Chandler Mall to look for baby furniture. My sister will be due in August 26th, and Mayra, a good friend of ours is due in September. They had really cute things for babies! It was so funny because the two pregnant ladies had cravings. So they each bought ice cream from Dairy Queen and they were walking all around the mall enjoying their ice cream. I even took some pictures.


They were so tired, they decided to stop at this store where they sell massaging chairs. They were there for a while getting massage.

I Love My Sister

Our most recent picture taken on my birthday!

My sister is the best!!! It had such great times growing up together, pretty close in age. We are 13 months apart! We get along so good. Now, she will be turning 24 in july, I am 25 and we still have a wonderful relationship. Its so nice to hear when other people tell us they love how my sister and I get along. I wish you could see us one day, I know most of you have, when we act silly and then we cant stop laughing. It is so funny! Even know that we are older we still have a lot of those moments. We just get along great and understand each other.

My sister will be having her baby pretty soon ( August ). I am very excited and cant wait to meet my baby nephew or niece. We still don't know! :( If its a boy or a girl, I will be happy. Its just kind of weird seeing my sister pregnant. We used to talk about getting married, having kids, getting together each Sunday etc... and now that its here, its hard to believe. Its just to much happiness!

The other day that I went to my parents house, I found these pictures of my sister and I. It brought so many great memories. Everyone use to ask us if we were twins. Actually, even until know they still think we are twins. It was so funny when we were subbing because the kids would get us confused. They would ask me, Ms. Ramos did you have your baby? Where is your belly? hahaha.. and they were talking about my sister. It would happen every day! Even the teachers would get us confused! It was just funny. Enjoy the pictures!

I took this picture while I was on my way to my parents house.. they had a little BBQ for me.. thank you everyone for the birthday calls, for those of you who left voicemails, or if you sent an email, or text, or told me happy birthday in person, or if you sent me a birthday card... thanks to everyone!

At first I thought my mom had made the cake, cause she does bake delicious cakes! But this time.. she didnt have time to bake.. so she bought it.. It was really good..

Here I am with my husband.. my wonderful husband.. my sister and brother only put 5 candles on the cake.. they said 25 was way to many.. so each candle was worth for 5!!


Here I am with my sister.. She is 7 months pregnant.. I cant wait for her to have her baby.,. We still dont know what she is having though.. we need to find out soon.. even though she doesnt want to find out.. she wants to keep it a surprise.. we are dying to know if its a boy or girl! I never realized how big she was, until I saw this pictures! Look at that size of the belly! hugeeeeee.. I had a wonderful birthday.. loved the food, i love the family, love the presents! thank you!

Feeling Better

So much better.... I was sick last week. I had to take 3 different types of medicine plus I had to get several shots. I was in pain all last week. I couldn't even walk. It was horrible. Thank God I am doing much better.

Ive just been enjoying the summer and working on our house. We finally changed our living room ceiling fan. We bought this really nice ceiling fan last Saturday. Since most of our living room decorations are brown and black, the white ceiling fan did not go at all. Here are some pictures of my husband changing the fan. It looks so much better now.

We will finish painting our living room and the office room pretty soon. Its so much fun working and decorating your house how you like. My husband built his " workshop" in the garage. It surprised me how fast he finished. It actually turned out good. Here is a picture! We will use the bottom of the bench for storage. I need to find a way to cover it up though! By the way, those are all my boxes with my stuff! haha.. I still need to unpack my things!



Tough Week

Just like the title says, it has been a tough week. My aunt Sarah passed away Wednesday morning. Tia Sara was my grandmas sister. Out of 14 siblings, there were only 3 that were still alive. My aunt Carmen, Raquel and Sarah. Now, aunt Sarah passed away. Here is a picture of my 3 aunts from our family reunion a couple of years ago. In the picture, tia Sara is the one wearing all black. She was such a great person. She lived in Hollister, CA. In the summer of 2007, my cousin Raquel and I spent two weeks with them. We had such a great time. Here are some pictures of the great times we spent together as a family. We love you aunt Sarah!
