Some pics of the little ones!!

I guess after my other post I needed to put some pictures!! I do love my little ones and they are my world!!


My life with three!

Well, I have been joggling having three little ones at home. It has been hard but I am getting the hang of it. I think whats hard is trying to give your attention to all three of the kiddos. Samuel wants me to play with him while Gabriel wants me to play a game with him and baby is crying at the same time. UGH!!! I get a headache trying to figure out what to do. Obviously, my attention goes to the baby. Lately, the house has been a wreck and I feel like I am always cleaning. I haven't been spending time with the boys. I feel really guilty. I made a promise to spend an hour in the morning and an hour before dinner to play with them. I know that kind of sounds to you whats up with the rest of the day. Well, most of the time they do really well playing together and I let them watch a movie a day. If its really a bad day, two a day! During those time I try to clean and do laundry. It gets really piled up if I don't stick with a schedule. The other days I try to fill it up with play dates. I can't seem to find time to do my craft work as I would like to. I have so many ideas that I want to fiddle with but I just go downstairs and relax. I hope my energy comes back. I also try to fit in some exercise. Man, I don't know how many of you supermoms do it. I hope I can get it together. Any suggestions?
I guess I need to vent!

Being Home!!!

Well, Elena being early change plans. Poor Michael made his schedule to work early in the month of March and be off the week I turned 38 weeks. So, the 3rd day we were home Michael was schedule to work night shift for 4 days straight and be off one day and work 5 day straight after that. Can you imagine me handling nursing at night and not have enough sleep waking up to take care of the boys was really hard. I have been mean to the boys due to lack of sleep. I did try not to let it get to me because I know the boys feel bad when I yell at them.
The upside of things the boys do love their baby sister. Gabriel took about 3 days to love her. He really didn't want nothing to do with her. The day he finally wanted to hold her he was all smiles.



As for me, I am in love with my princesa!! It does feel weird having a girl. I keep telling Michael I can't believe we finally have one. So, will see how things go. Luckily, I was able to finish her room and make look girly. I was really glad how it turned out. Also, we were able to finally paint the boys room before Elena arrived.
I was able to make the lanterns with tissue paper and the one with flowers are made out of fabric. I painted the canvases and made the flowers in the flower pot. I still have stuff to put up. So, hopefully when I get a chance to finish I will post more pics.



Here is the boys room. They love the colors and so do I!! Samuel is the rocket and Gabriel is the plane. I also painted those.



Well, here are more pictures of the little one!!!

If you are wondering who us the other baby, its Elena bff Ali. She is 8 days older then Elena and weighed at 9lbs. We really love her!

The baby is here!!!

Ok, so my water broke about 1:45 am on Tuesday. I was freaking out because I just couldn't believe what had just happen. Of course its not my first but at the same time in my mind I kept telling my self she is coming. I had a feeling that she was coming early but I didn't expect for her to come this early. Everything went well and she was born at 1:41 pm.
Introducing Elena Nohemy Mathson 6lbs 4oz and 19 and 1/2 inches long. She is a doll and we can't wait to take her home. As soon as I get home I will add more pictures. These are from my phone.

So, as always I am late with putting up stuff!!! I wanted to put some up before the year ends!!


Here are the boys raking up the leaves before the snow fell. They were such good helpers.

Well, here we are getting ready for Christmas!!! I love this holiday. The boys had fun decorating their gingerbread house at our good friend, Brandi's. Their friends were there and we love spending time with them. Now, looking at the houses you can tell which is Samuel and Gabriel.
Here is my small tree. Its not much put I really like it. Michael and I already bought a slight bigger tree for next year.

Now, it snow time!!! This is the first time we got snow for the year. It wasn't much but the kids had fun playing in it. Of, course it started to melt the next day but, at least it was fun for them.


Now, this is the snow day we were waiting for. It was a lot of snow and we couldn't wait to go outside. It was a few inches high and good for sledding.
Here is a picture of our front yard and back. Pretty cool!!
As you can see this doesn't get boring at all. I wished I could of sled but next year I am up to it!!

We are all, doing well. I feel like I am big but you be the judge. I will post pictures of me later. Michael and I are trying to finish painting the boys room so they finally sleep in their own beds and be in one room again. I need to get the baby's room ready. I am excited to add some girl stuff into the room. First, I am trying to find a bed set that I like and then work around it. It has been hard being pregnant with the third just because I have to always chase Gabriel around. I swear this boy does not stay still. At, least he has me moving! We haven't picked a name yet. I would pick Melissa after my dear friend and sister. It was a thought Melissa!!! Good try. Love you though. Well, I hope everyone had enjoyed their holidays and is gearing up for next year. I know I am ready for it. Love you everyone and I am grateful for all your friendship!!!
