The One where we are obsessed with the SUNS!!

Can I just say I freaking LOVE basketball season?

Its a new found love. Three years ago... I hated basketball, I hated pretty much ALL sports. I really have never been a fan of any of them.

BUT, my husband is really into basketball and soccer so I've learned to like them. Not really Soccer, just basketball.

Two years ago, the 2008-2009 season was when I really got into it. I was pregnant and sick all the time so I sat on the couch a lot. Basketball was the channel I always ended up stopping on and so my husband would tell me he wanted to watch it. So I made him explain it to me and I'm sure I was VERY annoying, but I understand it now so that's great!
 

That same season I made my hubby take me to a game because I was obsessed. I was like 4 or 5 months pregnant and SUPER irritable. 

So we were playing the Spurs...
 (the dreaded Spurs) AND OF COURSE our seats are right in front of this couple obsessed with the Spurs. The entire game was spent with them screaming behind me, "GO SPURS GO!!"

OMG, lets just say it was a horrible experience and I have not been to another game since. I want to go but just haven't been able to.

So we are hoping to go this season... we'll see....

I really want to be season ticket holders.... one day

anyway sorry for the long rant and rave about the Suns. I'm bored and its in between commercials of the Suns vs Lakers. 

GO SUNS!!!!

Happy weekend.

Or I guess I should say HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

(We ended up buying Matty the super cute Mickey Mouse costume, pictures next time.)

The One about the ZOO!!!

ZOO

We went to the Zoo on Saturday. It was so much fun! The last time I went was when Matthew was a "wee" baby so it wasn't too much fun. We ended up paying a little extra for the wild pass which includes unlimited carousel rides and the safari train... totally worth it!

Matthew wasn't too sure about the carousel. I think he would have liked it better if he could have sat on my lap. haha

Unfortunately it was WAY TO O HOT!!!!!

We rode the safari train around the park which shows you the biggest animals. We walked to the koala bear exhibit and saw all the nasty bugs. We brought our lunch and were attacked by bees. Lets just say Kinsey got smacked a lot because of said bees. It was not pleasant.

After that we were exhausted and decided to call it a day and make the hour drive back to 

Queen Creek.  

At the beginning of the month Kinsey moved back in with me.
Can I just say? What a blessing! She helps me out so much and is so willing to help. Not to mention she's pretty dang good company.

I have made it through the first week of being a part time worker and full time mommy. It's been a little more stressful than I thought it would. Originally the plan was going to be that I went to work in the morning from 830-9ish to 1230-1ish. So about 4 hours and then come home and Berto would go to work. He starts at 2:15pm. With us only having one car at the moment, this plan was perfect...... That is until Berto decided to take overtime. When this happens I have to bring Matthew to work with me and work is difficult when he is there. Its hard to focus on what I need to get done when I am constantly checking on Matty.
 I LOVE having him at work with me and I'm lucky that my job allows me to bring him. ( I work for a pediatrician so its the perfect environment for him.) BUT, its distracting.

Hopefully today is the last day I have to bring him for awhile so we can have a less stressful week.
I want to be able to enjoy being home with Matthew.

Enjoy the pics, til next time :)

Sorry they're out of order.... Stupid Blogspot's new photo uploader SUCKS!

I love his face in this pic. (and yes I know my toe is WAY weird)

Is it bad that I have NO idea what is in his mouth?? No its not his teeth... He hasn't gotten his molars yet.

The One With a Whole MONTH of Updates!!

So,

Its been a very LONG month! (well almost a month)
At the beginning of September my mother-in-law came to visit from El Salvador (where my husband is from). She just left on this last Wednesday. It is such a blessing when she comes to visit. She is a wonderful woman and I am so grateful to have married into a family that accepts me and loves me so much. And the funny apart is that my husbands family loves me and respects me so much and I have only met his sister and his mom! What a great family right? Anyway, I think Matthew fell in love with her while she was here. It was so sad when she left. We came home from the airport and it was bedtime... right before he went to bed he walked around the house looking for her. (It broke my heart). Hopefully we will see her again soon. We hope to visit sometime early next year. I've never been to El Salvador so I am EXCITED to go!

My mother-in-law and Matthew

So we're barely a week into October and so much has happened! Crazy/beautiful weather... We were actually able to sleep with our windows open!!!! I wait all year to do that! We save so much on our electric bill this time of year.

LOVE Arizona Sunsets

70 degrees! Ahhh what a wonderful day!

Matthew had his 15 month appointment. He is getting so big. I swear he had a growth spurt this last month because he just looks so old to me! Like a little man, rather than a toddler!

15 Months

 He weighed in at 22.4 lbs in the 10-25%
31 and a half inches long in the 50-75%
and his head was 47cm in the 50-75%
Matthew is so stinkin smart! I have been working with him and doing sign language. He "says/signs" more, sorry, please, all done, hello, bye bye. He says Thank you. He learned to climb up on the couch in 1 day. He's so old! ugh.... too fast!

This coming Monday I will officially change to a part time employee! I have been working FULL TIME since I was 17. I have no idea what it is like to work part time! I am just grateful to have a job who is willing to work with me and let me have a flexible schedule. I've been at the same pediatric office for almost 4 yrs (in November) and I LOVE it there but it is time for me to stay home and spend more time with my baby boy. I can't wait!

I am watching my friend Carrie's daughter  tonight (she's sleeping, I'm not blogging and ignoring... come on....)
Emily and Matthew played together! They are so darn cute.... I am foreseeing a future marriage :) haha

Matthew looks evil in this picture....

And we took Matty to the Disney Store on Tuesday and they have the absolute CUTEST Halloween costumes. I really want the Mickey Mouse one. Its SO adorable. BUT they want like $30 for a costume he'll only wear once.... I have to really think about it. But just look at the ears that go to the costume, aren't they the cutest thing you've ever seen??

I'm in love :)

Well hopefully it will not be another month til I update.... Since Ill be part time now I should have more time to update my blog and do some crafts which I haven't been able to do in a LONG time! Happy Thursday...

Glad tomorrow is Friday :)
