KaNgArOoS :)

On Vince's day off we decided we would take Mya to a place called Kangaroos. It's a big play place for little kids. They have blow up toys that you can jump in and big blow up slides that you can slide down. Only, it's just for kids, but if you're lucky enough to have a young enough child, you can play on them as well. So Vince took full advantage of that (as I was not feeling very well) Just to warn everyone, my camera wasn't focusing very well, so their kind of blurry. (sorry)

We weren't there for more than 15 min before Mya got sick and threw up on our way running to the bathroom. Poor thing and yes, I got it on me too. After we got her cleaned up (and me)and got some sprite into her system, she seemed to wake up and wanted to GO GO GO! She was everywhere!

She ran around in this toy for about a half hour. Just ran around in circles. Circle after circle. It made me kinda dizzy! :) 

After a rough start, Vince and Mya were running and sliding like crazy! Mya had so much fun following and imitating Daddy. I think Vince enjoyed himself too! Ha, he was also wearing big grins and laughing right along with Mya. I just love to sit back and watch how he interacts with Mya. Full of love and adoration. It's something I won't ever get enough of! :) 

After a couple of hours of running, panting, and laughing, we decided to head on home. Well Mya ran up to a toy she wasn't big enough for and climbed right on in. Good thing there was no one in the place. So Vince went in right after her and played for a couple minutes, but as Vince was climbing out, he stepped on the inflatable step and it caved in and down him and Mya went! He did some sort of twirl and Mya never hit the ground! It was kinda cool and terrifying to watch. Don't worry, Vince was fine. We laughed so hard after we made sure everyone was ok. 

Mya had a fun, rough day. Starting out with throwing up, to smacking her face on a tall slide and falling with Vince out of a toy, but we had a good time spending it together as a family. Until next time...:)

Loving Life

We've been here for 2 weeks? I dunno, lost track. :) We've made it to one beach. Just one so far. The only thing that sucked about it was that we couldn't swim in it. It had signs saying:

We still enjoyed going there. It was beautiful along the path: And the water was so invitingly warm! The sand; white and soft. Last Sunday we got a picnic together and went down to the beach for some afternoon fun. Mya absolutely loved it! She was the only one that got to swim as for the rest of us, just walking with our ankles lapped in water was enjoyable. When Mya was done swimming, we decided to play in the sand. She loved getting buried! Hehe, she kept putting the sand on her own legs! Silly girl! :)

We've recently got a pool for Mya. I think it's one of her favorite things to do now. She's all smiles while playing in it. She does this thing to where she stands up and then falls backwards into the water landing on her butt. She gets a kick out of it and does it over and over, laughing the whole time. She loves when you ask her how she swims: She gets on her belly and kicks her legs! So cute! 

Alabama...The Beginning

So we've been here for little over a week, but I'll start at the beginning of when we left for our trip. It was a really fun drive. And surprisingly it seemed short. We took 4 days/3 nights to drive.

Ok, so I was trying to get a picture of every State we entered, but that didn't work, I was either reading or playing with Mya. So I missed A LOT! I did manage to get some, like Little America. That was our first stop, we ate some food and just hung out a little so Mya didn't get too sick of driving. 

I really wanted to buy this for Mya, but we couldn't. Sad! She loved it too!

Sadly, this was the first State picture I got and that was lucky cuz we stopped at the first rest area to take another little break.  We got some pretty funny videos while taking a driving break. First we have Chris and Daneile: Chris was prepared, but Daneile just wasn't willing to fully commit. :)

Then we have me and Vince. I was excited and was totally ready to fly like the wind, however, Vince was not:

And finally, we put the only two people who were both fully committed and we got this: 

After our oh so fun time, we got back on the road. My next sign I got was this one:

Haha, yeah I missed a couple in between, but oh well! At least I got some!

Another stop. Mya needed it more than I did, but it was a pretty cool rest stop.

Like I said, it was pretty cool. Just really windy. And I mean really windy!

When I saw this sign, I was totally blown away! I thought to myself "What? Where did the rest of the country go?! Shouldn't we only be in Wyoming?" haha, it was such an awesome feeling to be so close! I started getting butterflies instantly!

This sign says it all "Welcome to Alabama the beautiful" It certainly is beautiful! I was so excited and it already felt like home! Now our adventure begins and we'll for sure make the best of it. I'm sure we'll see some tough times, but out of those comes wonderful memories! :)

The New Mrs. Martinez

There is mostly going to be just pictures, because you know what they say, a picture is worth a 1,ooo words! :)
I got my pictures back from my wedding on Sunday and figured it was time to update! It was a month ago, (Although it feels only a week ago)That Vince and I tied the knot. It was such a special day and so much fun. I was so nervous, I couldn't sleep the night before. I just had so many butterflies! I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve, I couldn't wait to see what Santa brought me!

We got to the church at 10:00 am to get ready for the big day. It was pretty crazy in that dressing room! So much fun! Everyone getting their hair and make up done.
Here is Daneile curling her hair.

Here is Lindsay doing her make up.

Amanda doing her make up as well

And Holly painting her toes all pretty!

Mya was so much fun, she was such a crazy little girl that day. :) She wanted to get all pretty too like all her aunts! I can't remember who it was, but someone put all of Mya's clips in her hair all over. Mya showed off her clips to everyone! It was cute, she was so proud!

I had to get my hair done as the same time as my make up. I could not wait until it was time to get in my dress.
As we were all getting ready, my Dad was making signs and he thought it would be funny to write it in Spanish. I must admit, it was cute and I laughed. I love my silly Dad!
Now it was Mya's turn to get her hair done. This picture is so sweet. She looked so cute!Now it's time for me to get into my dress. I had to hold it up while my Mom got the laces ready to lace me up!
This is when I realized I couldn't breathe! GAH!!! TOO TIGHT!!! :) My Mom had to loosen it up.
I was so excited!! I forgot about being nervous and just wanted to be walking down that aisle toward and toward new life!
Here is me and my Grandma! She's such a beautiful lady!
Me and my wonderful Mother! She was so excited! I love my dearest Mother!!!Here are all the girls ready and looking absolutly radiant! :)

Me and My beautiful daughter! She was tired already, but still looked like such a doll!

LETS GO!!!

As the girls were slaving away at looking prestentable, we had Vince and Scott...

Yes, playing video games! Haha, I really had to laugh at that!

Finally, the guys are all ready and looking sharp! Very handsome.

The big moment has arrived, the guests are seated and everyone is in their place! Cue the music! And Here..We..Gooo...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kai did such a great job! I love his cute little smile!
She look so darn sweet!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH! :)
The first thought I had when I walked into that room was "wow, Vince looks so handsome!" I even told my Dad that! I couldn't stop smiling. My dimple is really showing in this one!
I couldn't lift my arms up very high, and I wanted so bad to just throw my arms up and around Vince! My dress even got hooked on his suit!
Yay!! WE DID IT!!!!!! (Like I said before, I couldn't lift up my arms, that was very hard to do! As you can see the look on my face) I now present to you: Mr. & Mrs. Vince Martinez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That was the best day of my life! I am married to my highschool sweetheart, the man of my dreams, the one who picks me up when I fall. He is the only one that can make me laugh when I'm sad, and calm me when I'm mad. He has my heart and I his. Not to mention we have the best daughter ever! My life couldn't get any better! Oh wait! It will!!! It only goes up from here! :)

I'll post more on the reception and stuff later, as for now, I'm done! It's taken me 2 hours to get that! (p.s. the photos we snapped by: CT Photography or yourlifesjourney.blogspot.com) :) Thanks Chelsie and Aunt Tracy!

New Years Resolutions!

I was reading Chelsie's blog about her new years resolution and it inspired me to write a few down as well. :) haha, thanks Chels!

1. I've been feeling not very happy about my body lately. I'm not saying I need to lose a lot of weight, but I do need to start exercising again. It's surprising how much better you feel about yourself right after a good work out!

2. I need to be more kind to my family. (mostly Vince) I find myself getting very irritated easily and it's mostly about dumb things. Also my stress level builds until I explode and the person I usually end up taking things out on are Vince, so I need to channel my feelings better and just become a kinder person.

3. When I was growing up I did a lot of service. I wasn't very happy to give it until I was doing it. Service makes you a happier person. I'm going to try to give more service, whether its just picking things up around the house or something big. Service is service and I'm gonna do it! :)

That's all I have. Working on little things at a time. I figure if I start small I'll be more likely to achieve my goals. I'll post on here my progress. Don't expect too much right now though, I'm getting married in a week! :)

Getting Hitched!

Yep, you read it right, I'm getting married!!! It was the sweetest thing! Vince had Mya walk out with the ring and hand it to me. I couldn't believe it! Was it really what I thought it was? Sure enough Vince got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. After a tearful yes, he gave me a great big hug! He had no flowers, no big speech, nothing fancy, but it was the sweetest thing I could ever imagine! 

So, as you can imagine, I'm going to be quite busy planning! We're getting married on Jan 23, 2010 before we leave for Alabama. Things are going rather smoothly, which is the way I'd rather have it! I'll get some pictures of everything after the wedding. Wish me luck! :)

My computer is back!

Alright, I got my computer all fixed!! So I'll be posting very soon! Be sure to check it out because there will be a lot!!!
