It's late and I've been on the computer for a while, so I am making this quick. ;)If you've been keeping up with the blog, you have realized that I have become quite obsessed (I mean passionate) haha sounds better right? with photography! So I have turned my little EXPENSIVE hobby, into a business... Linds is helping me out by being my official photo critic, for which I am very thankful....

So now that things have slowed down after the holidays, I have gone back through my Mexico pictures... One of our days down there we went on an excursion to Chichen-Itza (mayan ruins). THey are such an amazing sight to see... I won't write much about them, but they sure have fascinating history, I'll just share an interesting and very cool thing about the ruins... THere are 2 main areas, the "

Christina and I were out last week taking some pictures... it was a last minute kind of thing, she wanted to catch the sunset, so we went up to prayer mountain but didn't quite make it in time! I think she actually got one or two good ones. I on the other hand did not, Vaughn was having a rough day ( I think he was just tired) so he was wanting to be held a lot! He would play for a little while

This afternoon Vaughn and I walked over to the playground down the street... While I am not a fan of the 70-80 degree weather in January, it was nice to be able to take Vaughn out, he loves that playground!Here are a few pictures... he is getting so big, he climbed up all the way to the top slide all by himself!! We were there for about 45 min and he must have been up there at least 20 times. He

The week before Christmas we went "camping"... not really, more like rented a cabin at Beaver's Bend, OK with the Crawfords and Patrick.. We stayed in a beautiful cabin, with a hot tub, which was perfect considering it was pretty cold. It was a nice relaxing weekend with good friends, and of course I took a ton of pictures of the Vaughn and Hailey.Here are some pictures of the cabin we stayed in

Quick post, I just had to share this because it just made me laugh!Today while I was busy taking down the Christmas tree, and putting away all the decorations, Vaughn decided he wanted to "play" guitar hero. Of course he cannot yet play, but he thinks he can, so he grabbed the guitar and.... well the pictures describe it the best... what do you think, Rock Star in the making??Hope everyone had

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, we had a great one. I must confess that in November, when I thought about Christmas being around the corner, I was not very excited and was rather dreading it. Christmas has just not been the same without Mom, not only was this her favorite time of the year and made it the most exciting, but also her birthday was this time of year, and her passing was

Wow, it's been a busy month, and I have not had a chance to go through the rest of our Mexico pictures to post, I'll have to do it later on. I did however want to post some pictures from our Christmas decorating time, and also take the time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.Vaughn and I spent the Monday and Tuesday, after we came home from Mexico, making the ornaments and then decorating the

So finally, the long over due post!... It has been a busy week since we came home so I have been trying to catch up, start planning for Christmas etc.. But here are just a few of the pictures... since the actual beach is what I know everyones loves to see the most I will post about that first, and will post a few other times about the facilities and our excursion to Chichen-Itza.So not much to

Yesterday I had a long day of errands planned. I was going to drive to Arlington to return a lense for Lindsey. Then I was going to go by the hospital to visit a friend, then by the bank and grocery store..Well I got 2 out of the 4 things done... unfortunately Vaughn was feeling a little under the weather. While we were out running errands, I looked up through the rear-view mirror to check on

I just love this little boy! I find that I never get tired of taking his picture, or watching him play, listening to him "talk," and I definitely do not get tired of his hugs, kisses and cuddles. Yes, I would be lying to say that I never get annoyed by his whining, or that I don't get frustrated when he throws a fit... but, in recent weeks I came to realize that I was taking my time with him

Vaughn loves to be outdoors, has to go out and play at least once a day, I took this picture while I was trying to get him to come back in... Not an easy task, but I liked the picture.It's a good thing we live in Texas, there aren't really any days too cold to go out and play.

Friday Vaughn and I spent the day with Christina and Alex. We went to Grapevine, TX only 45min north of us, a beautiful place to spend the day and take lots of pictures.We first went to a park/botanic gardens. Christina and I have been friends for a while now and we enjoy hanging out and taking pictures together... Our boys are a few years apart in age, but Vaughn seems to have bonded with Alex.

This morning after having breakfast and playing a little at home, Vaughn and I headed for the park. I missed my early morning jog, so I had to make it up. So I pushed Vaughn in the stroller for a few laps, then we played!!It was perfect, a little overcast, windy but not too cold.We went to check out the flower gardens first...Then we headed to the play areaWhat a perfect day...

Sunday afternoon we went to a park nearby, it was perfect weather and beautiful sunset!I love this time of the year, and I love all the falling leaves! Here is a picture of a tiny little flower... ok weed!Hope all of you are enjoying fall as much as me.

So, here lately I am finding myself just loving taking pictures. Is it just that I have the cutest son ever? is it hanging around my wonderful sister-in-law? or maybe all those photography blogs I like to follow? I am not really sure what it is, but it's just become a little addicting! So I figured I would try to make it a goal to post a picture per day... I know! maybe a lofty goal, but I

Saturday, while tia was here, we went to the Ft. Worth Japanese Gardens, they were having their fall festival. It was very nice, although all they leaves hadn't quite changed colors so it wasn't as colorful as I hoped, but it was still very nice. Here are Aaron & Vaughn watching the Japanese drummersVaughn also got to feed the enormous gold fish, I think he enjoyed this part the most.We also

Last weekend we got to spend some time with Tia(Aunt) Bety. She visited from CA for a few days, and as always, we enjoyed her company A LOT!!!We kept pretty busy, which unfortunately made time pass very quickly, but it was time well spent. Tia Bety has meant a lot to me (us) since... well, always! but specially since Mom passed away. She of course could never replace my Mom, but is as close to

Today was a fun day... Vaughn and I, along with my friend Christina and her little boy Alex, went to the butterfly exhibit at Fair Park in Dallas. We had a great time, despite the terrible heat and humidity. We took lots of pictures, Christina and I had been talking about doing something where we could take pictures, so this was the perfect thing. We of course didn't think about the fact that it

Horrible I know, but we kept pretty busy, so I guess better busy having fun, than busy blogging... any way, here is a catch up post, so prepare for lots of photos.We had a lot of fun this summer, we didn't do anything extravagant, but it was the little things that made it fun.We went to a birthday party...

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!We had a good time. We spent the afternoon with Aaron's family, they had a cool little frog pool for Vaughn, we had lots of yummy food, and just spent time with family and friends.Vaughn grabbed one of the flags they had in the front yard (as decoration) and was walking around waving the flag, it was pretty cute. He also enjoyed splashing in his little pool.

Last week Vaughn and I went to some "mommy and baby" swimming lessons. It was more of a "survival" rather than "fun" swimming class, yet it was still fun. It was all about teaching them how to swim to the edge of the pool (should they jump in the pool unassisted) learning to hold their breath, etc.We had Daddy come and take some pictures of our last class.The classes went something like this...

Last week Vaughn and I went to spend a day with my grandparents. It was great watching them interact, Vaughn was very good that day and had lots of fun with them.They played with some toys they pulled out, a toy guitar, a little car, a baby chair...Then they played some music, they pulled out the guitar, tambourine and maracas.My grandmother said she had not laughed like that in a long time.

Happy birthday sunshine!Today is Vaughn's birthday, I can't believe this time last year I was holding him in my arms for the first time, wondering what I would do with him and how I could ever care for him and give him all he needed from me.

He is so playful and lovable, sometimes I just grab him and squeeze him and give him lots of kisses until he pushes me away... I thought that didn't happen 'till they were much older? ;)Any way, here are a few of my favorites.."Yes I am cute, even when I stick my

Saturday morning we went out to Kim & Jenni's with Beto, Linds, and Dad for breakfast; Beto took these pictures with his iphone. Dad and Vaughn were playing tope (bonking heads)

Yesterday was Vaughn's first Easter Sunday, and I guess since I didn't grow up with the whole Easter Celebration... well at least not exactly the same way , I totally didn't think about taking pictures or anything. It was a fun and busy day. Vaughn did really good despite having to get up earlier than usual for church and having lots of people at home for dinner.He has been really fussy lately...

Only in Texas can you have snow in March at 6am and 75 degree weather by noon... THE SAME DAY!But no complaints, Vaughn had his first snow experience. I don't know that I can say he loved it, he more had no idea what to do with it.Oh and yes! I am late posting these pictures since that Snow day.... or rather morning, was March 7th. But we've been crazy busy and my computer has been a little

So here is a recap on the last two weeks.. Vaughn is walking even more now, so much so that we have had many falls and bumps, but we've survived them all.Last week, Vaughn and I went to make a little valentine for Aaron, we went to this place called creative hands and painted a little record that said "just for the record... I love you" which of course Aaron loved.Here we are in action.Vaughn

So, now you see why I don't ever seem to find the time to blog. I am kept quite busy! This weekend Vaughn surprised us all by taking his first real steps. I really don't know why I was so surprised since he's been taking a step or two this past week, not to mention that he has been a bit ahead of schedule (at least in size) all along. But I guess I just didn't expect him to start walking all

Here are my boys on saturday morning!So I don't have that many pictures of the last couple of weeks... mainly because I keep forgetting to change the batteries on my camera and when a good time to snap a picture comes I'm not prepared... But I have changed them now, so hopefully I'll be doing better.For an update, we are all doing great, Vaughn is growing up so fast it's hard to take it all in

Well this year we actually used the video camera... unfortunately though, I forgot to actually take pictures!!! How could I? I did take a few but not nearly as many as I wish I had.So here are a few of pictures from Christmas morning at the Massa's.

Well Vaughn continues to be a very happy boy, he is however, becoming a very active little boy. Keeping his mother quite busy!He likes to grunt and chew on his toys oh and look tough of course!Here we are at the mall in front of the big christmas tree... We like to do lots of fun stuff while Dad is at work. ;)Vaughn has also started standing up on the edge of the couch (or anything else he can

Here are some pictures Lindsey took about 3 weeks ago and I just hadn't had a chance to post them. The weeks just fly by.The latest update is Vaughn is crawling now, and pulling himself up on the sofa! Aren't they supposed to crawl for a while before they start thinking about walking??? Still no teeth and it's driving him and everyone else nuts... Major teething just no teeth.Oh and he must be

I can't believe I've been such a slacker... This past month just flew by!Vaughn is becoming such a big boy, he keeps me quite busy. He is now 7 mos old. He weighed 21.6lbs at his 6mo appointment so I am sure he is at least 22lbs now. He loves to jump while he is being held. He started crawling, he is still not very strong so he flops on his belly a lot, but he is trying hard and as long as

Today for Luna Mom's club we went to a pumpkin patch in Arlington and took some pictures of the kids, it was a lot of fun. Here are some of the pictures I took of Vaughn, he was totally fascinated by the grass, who knew, oh! and the hay, he kept trying to get that in his mouth ... I am thinking we are going to have to go back with Tia Lindsey before the pumpkins are gone.He did get a little

Vaughn and Sadie are really getting comfortable around each other. It's cute to see them play, I just have to watch that Sadie doesn't lick his face, because with all the drool it's quite the temptation.Here are a few pictures of them together.Also Vaughn went from not liking a bottle, to loving it and holding it on his own in a week... Here are a few pictures, I can't believe he is holding his

Last night Vaughn had his first taste of rice cereal, and he seemed to like it. Of course his face was a big mess as he tried to stick his thumb along with the spoon. He did much better than I thought, he spitted out a couple of times because he was trying to suck on the spoon, after a little bit he started to slurp it out of the spoon which just decreased the mess a little bit. But by the end he

Well a week ago today we returned from CA, we were there for a family reunion celebrating my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, we had a great time and just had so many pictures to show, I had to make a little clip to make it easier.We arrived a friday night, saturday we had the celebration for the anniversary, sunday afternoon we all drove to Big Bear Lake where we had rented some cabins and

This week Vaughn is 4 months old, it's been a wonderful four months thus far, every day he seems to smile and laugh a little more, he seems more and more animated. He has switched to size 3 diapers and outgrown lots of his clothes an he is trying to chew on everything he gets his hands on... he also loves to pull on mom and dad's hair!Here are a few recent picturesNappingThumb suckingTummy

Finally I am able to log into my blog again... We finally figured out what was wrong... Any way, there's not much new, the biggest thing is that Vaughn is trying to roll on to his tummy, so far he has only done it once, but he does like to lay on his side. He does also laugh every once in a while, but he stops as soon as he sees the camera, so I haven't been able to catch it on video yet.

It is amazing how fast time goes by, especially when you are having fun watching a little one grow.So here is what's new. Vaughn loves to sit up now, in fact he is sitting here with me as I type.Here are a few more pictures of him sitting up on the sofa and his bumbo seat.He has also started sleeping in his crib now.., I had tried earlier but he would be fast asleep and as soon as I laid him in

This weekend GiGi (Aaron's grandma) and his aunt Rachel came in to town, we had breakfast together on Saturday and these are some pictures I took.They had not met Vaughn yet, so it was nice for them to get to see him. Vaughn is doing really good, he will be 3 months old this week and I just cannot believe it, this morning I wanted to figure out how much he weighs so I got on the scale with him

Well we started the day with the cute little chivas onesie... and I am glad I took a picture right away, because the outfit didn't last long... Vaughn had a poopy accident, so we had to change... thankfully I have learned my lesson and try to always carry an extra outfit.We spent part of day with family at the Massa's, we ate a LOT!! then we went shopping and went home for a little

Look at those beautiful blue eyes!!Sunday we were at Beto and Lindsey's after church and we were playing with her camera, we took these pictures of Vaughn in his overalls. I think he looked like a little farmer! I can't believe my little baby is now 10 weeks old and loves pushing up on those chunky little legs. Had to take a picture of his little butt... It just looked too cute!

Today was Vaughn's 2 month appointment, he had one of his shots and didn't like it, but he did great!He is now 15lbs 8oz and 25in. He is my growing little man.Oh by the way, the Dr said he thinks his eyes will stay blue.. he said they are so bright that he doesn't see them changing, if anything they might turn a slight green, but he thinks they will remain blue!!! yey!!

When we had our last sonogram during the pregnancy, the sonogram tech said it looked like we were having what they call a BOB... Big Ol' Baby!!! I guess she was right.Friday I went to my follow-up appointment and I had Vaughn with me so I asked while I was there if we could weigh him (I was curious to see how much he weighed)...

Well, I haven't really had much time to write lately which is why I have only been posting pictures, but Vaughn is taking a nap so I will take advantage of that. Vaughn is now a little over 5 weeks old, and his favorite things to do so far are EAT!!! That is number 1 on the list, sleep and hang out with Tio Beto!

We had Vaughn dedicated this past Sunday. Grandpa and grandma were still in town so we thought it would be a good time to do it. Here are some pictures.

Grandpa and grandma West are in town from Guadalajara for a few days, so Vaughn got to meet his great-grandparents for the first time this week… Here are some pictures of Vaughn with grandma and grandpa at uncle Gerray’s house.

Here are some pictures of Vaughn’s bath time. All is going well, he is getting better about sleeping at night, of course he still wants to be fed a couple of times during the night, but he goes right back to sleep afterward so that's good.he seems to constantly be changing, and I can't believe he is 2 1/2 weeks old... time seems to be going by very quickly.Yesterday was a rough day, we took

I must say that every day that goes by the idea of sleeping through the night seems more and more like a foreign concept. It's been a week and 2 days since Vaughn was born, and I can't even believe how fast the days have gone by. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting at home rubbing my belly and begging him to come out ;)So as you can tell I haven't really had the time to post much since he

Well.. hahaha there is no baby yet, I guess my original due date was correct after all, the midwife said she expects me to go into labor before the end of the week... we'll see about that, I have had a few very mild contractions, but I am ready for the real thing. I have been doing a lot of walking and bouncing on a yoga ball, drinking teas, all in hopes of starting labor but nothing so far,

Well the curtains are up and all the boxes are clear, and for now the baby's room is done.. I still need to get the swing but I am waiting for my discount coupons to come before I go get it :) Here is what the baby's room looks like now.Now I am just waiting for the baby to get here. My new due date is this Friday! Wow, I just can’t believe it and yet I just hope it’s somewhat accurate ‘cause I

Well I would say the countdown begins, but we don't really know when this baby will decide to come.Lindsey took me to my appointment this week and we met earlier to take some pictures of my big belly. So here they are..Oh, as an update, everything looks fine, blood pressure is good, baby seems to be doing good, and the midwife thinks it will be about 2 weeks... she said maybe one... lets hope

Well at the request of our midwife we had another sonogram done yesterday and Peanut wanted to wave Hello! We had the sonogram done because the midwife was a little confused about our due date, she did her regular examination, my protein levels were better but my blood pressure was up again. She felt the baby and said her guess was the baby probably weight 6 pounds already. Which is a lot if my

Well my appointment this morning went well... my blood pressure has gone down... my protein levels were just borderline, nothing horrible, so that was good.. I lost 2 pounds since last week... which was surprising to me since I figured I would surely gain weight by staying at home and doing nothing, but the midwife said it was probably water weight.. Either way I was glad to know I hadn't gained

Wow so much to catch up on. Ok so I have been put on bed rest as of 2/22, I went to my appointment on the 21st and the midwife said my bp was a little higher than the previous time as well as they found a trace of protein in my urine which is not supposed to be a good sign, so she opted to put me on bed rest. I was glad not to have to go to work anymore, but I still feel a little guilty to stay

I have been meaning to come update this all last week and just never got a free moment to sit down and do it. My last appointment went well, though my blood pressure was just slightly higher than normal, so the midwife requested that I not put any more overtime hours at work! Can’t say I complained about that one.Let’s see I have a few things checked off my list… I have painted the baby’s room…

Saturday was a busy day. As always I wasn't able to sleep past 7am so finally around 7:30 I got out of bed and started making breakfast. We had Eggs bacon and some potatoes, enjoyed our breakfast for a few minutes and then we started working. The first thing we did was rip out the nasty 70's paneling that was in the dinning room, that wasn't horrible... but then of course Aaron did most of the

Well 6 months already and I am really feeling pregnant. For the last week or so I have slept very little, between trips to the bathroom, the tossing and turning because my hips hurt and feeling really HOT, I’ve gotten very little restful sleep. Not to mention the weird dreams I seem to have just about every night now. I must say the one last night really freaked me out. So I went to bed last

So I had to go take the glucose tolerance test today... YUCK! You have to take this nasty sweet drink 1 hour before, but not only that you cannot have any thing to eat or drink for 2 hrs prior... thankfully I scheduled it first thing in the morning, so it would not be so bad... what was bad is that I get there, and already I was paranoid because last time I had my blood drawn I was left with a

So Lindsey (my sister-in-law) is in the middle of a week long class on photography and she called yesterday saying she needed to shoot some pictures for her class project. We had already talked about taking pictures at some point during this pregnancy, just for fun and keepsake, so that was perfect! Last night her and Beto came over and we "played" photographer and model... Well, really I just

Now for the peanut update...I went to my scheduled appointment with the midwife yesterday, that's always exciting, even thought it's the same old thing. My blood pressure looked good, I gained 3 pounds since the last appointment which was not bad either, and peanut's heart rate was 140 bpm.She did say that I am still measuring 2 weeks ahead of my due date; I mentioned to her that our families

It's been almost a month since my last post, it's been a busy month.We had a great Christmas, and the week after that we went to California on vacation and had a great time. Here are some pictures from our trip.Aaron, Ana, Susy and I at Disneyland, we had fun that day and fortunately there were only a couple of rides I was not able to get on. We went on Tuesday Jan 2nd... which turned out not to

And here is the belly… We had a Christmas Party at Aaron's work so I went and bought my first maternity dress, here is a picture we took that night. It’s the baby belly at 20 weeks... about 2 weeks ago, and I do believe my belly is actually bigger than that by now. This baby is growing in a hurry... Although I think it's mostly the Massa head! ; )Both Aaron and I looked at the sonogram

There was lots of bouncing around in there, the belly was beautifully and perfectly round... it was kind of funny, there wasn't

I have decided I wanted to keep track, for my sake and who ever else is interested, of peanut's little journey into and in this world. For those who don't have a clue what I am talking about, I have nicked named my unborn child peanut. We don't know the sex and won't until he/she is born, so peanut it is.Now I don't claim to be a writer, so if you are looking for great inspiring words or even
