Bathtime with Grandma Flores

And he loved every minute of it! :)

Fishing for Great-Grandma!

Grandma Flores enjoys eating pan fish so Chris and Daddy went down the street to catch her some fresh ones for the table. Suprisingly, lil' Chris caught his first.

This picture is too funny. You can tell he is trying to smile and be brave but you can tell he is a bit freaked out!

The perfect photo. The two with their 'catch'!

2 hours later...Grandma Flores tasting the fish that was so perfectly prepared by Chris. Talk about FRESH FISH! She loved it!

Father- Son Campout!

The Father-Son Campout was a huge success for the Flores boys. Lil' Chris was so excited to go on his first campout. All of his friends were going to be there and Daddy let him pick out his very own sleeping bag (he chose the camoflauge one, of course!)

The Daddy's put the kids to bed and headed out to do some midnight fishing. Big Chris was awarded a box of Whoppers in sacrament the next day for catching the biggest fish!

Out on the dock with the crew.

All the Campers...

They had so much fun and I'm glad lil' Chris was able to enjoy his first campout!

Strawberry Pickin'

For years I have wanted to go to the strawberry farm...YEARS! For one reason or another, I never made it out there. So when some friends said they were planning a trip I jumped on it. I was sooo-excited to take the kids. Chris was nice enough to stay with baby Adan at home so I could go and act like a child in a candy store!

It was amazing- STRAWBERRY HEAVEN!!!

The kids immediately took off into a row...had no clue what they were doing or what they were looking for exactly, just started walking. I finally stopped them and gave them specifics on what to look for in a good strawberry. "Only pick the big red ones! BIG and RED!" ...and off they went again.


After much searching, MiaLuz finally found one that met her approval. "Dis one's red mommy. I like dis one. Pretty stawberry!"

Chris asked if he was allowed to eat them and I said sure....so here's his first taste.

...and then MiaLuz decided to join him.

And then they had more,

...and more....

...let's just say more went into their mouth than in the bucket. Needless to say, it took us quite a while to fill the buckets.

This place is HUGE. This is the front view.

The back left side.

and part of the right side....like I said, HUGE....I was loving every minute of it!

MiaLuz took it upon herself to spot and point out EVERY strawberry that had been smooshed on the ground. "EEW Mommy, Yucky stawberry!"

Chris' biggest pick!

When we were leaving there was a sampling station set up. There was strawberry salsa, strawberry dressing, strawberry juice, the works...YUM!

It was a beautiful morning. We came home with 2 big buckets of the yummiest fruit. Not to my surprise, when I went to wash and freeze them, almost half of them had a bite taken out of them. I couldn't store a half eaten strawberry, so I just had to eat them! ; )
Fun Fun Times. Something I will definitely do again.

Solution...Sort Of...

I have heard of Gripe Water for years now, but until Adan, I never felt the need to try it. There have been many success stories about this supplement. I finally googled it and read more into it.

Gripe Water is an herbal supplement used to ease the gas and stomach discomfort due to colic, hiccups, teething, etc. Like everything, I had my doubts. That was until I found a website that listed 100's of comments by mother's that had the exact same story as mine. That was all it took, I was sold! A couple of years ago I remember looking it up and found that it was only sold online or at health food stores. Fortunately, it is now sold at CVS, Target and several others stores. (Thank goodness!) So we bought it immediately and put it to the test. BINGO! It actually worked! And what's even better is that, because it is all natural, it can be used several times a day and works within minutes. It has definitely helped Adan relax a bit more. Though we still struggle with the acid reflux, at least he isn't screaming out in pain all day and night, just throwing up, lol!

So for all you mother's or soon to be...Gripe Water is the way to go! Try it before turning to the prescriptions. (The doctor's will never recommend Gripe Water to anyone because it has not been evaluated by the FDA) But I will recommend it to everyone!

Thank you for all of you that gave your comments. It is comforting to know that I am not alone.
