A few days short of 1 month

Daddy's little princess for sure! We are all enjoying having our Sara Elisabeth home.

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year:)

Home sweet home

Finally we are home and it feels so good to be a family. These past two weeks were super hard. I missed my boys so much and felt so torn. I know that I needed to be there with my baby girl but at the same time I felt sad that my boys didn't have their momma.

But now there is no more sadness. We are together and that's all that matters. I can't thank everyone enough for all your prayers, love and support. We are very blessed to have you guys in our lives. Thanks again:)

LOVE THE FLORES FAMILY

I will be Thankful in everything

I'm sure this has happened to most of you...
Ever go to church on Sunday and sit through the preaching and feel like the pastor is talking just to you. As if there is no one else in the room. That's exactly what happened to me today.
I'm so Thankful that I went to church today because I really needed to hear everything that was said.

First of all I just want to say that I am very THANKFUL for my friends. Girls you know who you are. You make living here in Oklahoma so much easier. It's hard being far away from my mom and my sister but having you in my life makes everyday easier.

Mrs. Pam,
I'm THANKFUL for you!
I'm THANKFUL that My son has such a loving teacher. It makes my heart happy:)

And most importantly I'm THANKFUL for God who loves me more than I will ever know, my family, My amazing husband, the two most gorgeous boys ever and our wonderful, beautiful princess.

Regardless of the challenges that we are facing right now I'm still so very thankful. I can't believe that in a few weeks I will have a daughter... Yes a daughter whom I have been waiting for, for a long time. And she will be perfect no matter what because she was sent to us from our heavenly father.

So with all this said I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who is praying for us.

We love you guys very much~

Halloween

HIS CUP OF TEA!


So I just wanted to brag a little on my super star. I am so amazed at how great Elijah has been doing this season. He never complains about going out there and playing. I mean seriously this kid is awesome:) For the past two games Elijah has played all four quarters because the kids on his team are either crying that they want their mom or just not interested. He never complains though. He has so much drive it's unbelievable. I'm so proud of my little guy:)


His game face! Check out the horns he's wearing:)

Running the field all on his own... Once he gets going it's hard to catch him.

One of the many goals he scored

Definitely a super star in my eyes!!! We are so proud of you Elijah!

PUMPKIN PATCH FUN!

I met Elijah's class out at the pumpkin patch today... It was freezing out, The wind was terrible but the kids didn't seem to mind. He was super excited about riding the bus. It was the topic of our conversation all weekend long. He says he wishes he could ride the bus everyday. Too bad he has to go to school all the way at Stone Canyon:( Maybe next year he will get a chance to ride with his big brother on the bus. Mom will probably be following the bus the whole way to school... I just don't think he is big enough, but don't tell him I said that;)

Elijah's Pre-k class

Making a craft

He picked the perfect pumpkin:)

Nine...

So today E and I celebrate our 9 yr anniversary. I am so blessed to have him in my life. Without him I wouldn't have a relationship with God. As you know I was raised a catholic so when I met Eric he was the one that actually took me to church and encouraged me to build a relationship with the Lord. I know he was put in my life for a reason:)

So honey on this very special day I just want to say that I love you oh so very much and I thank God for you every day.

First game:)

Elijah had his first soccer game today. He got to play against some of his best buddies. Cooper, Brenden & one of his favorite girls... Ella:) He had so much fun running out there and scoring some goals. He's improved so much since last season. I'm so very proud of him:)

It's alot of fun watching the kids chase the ball. I love this age!


His first game of the season and here he is showing his game face. It's more of a silly face if you ask me.


Getting ready to kick it off

After the game... He was pretty tired.

Sunday School

Now that Elijah is in Mrs. Pam's class he says he is a big boy and loves to be in her class. He gets a little sad when she has to leave second hour but I tell him she has to go to the big church. Here he is with his cute little projects that they make in Sunday school. I thought the necklace was pretty cool. He says he got it for being good... I use to love those when I was little:)

Anyway I thought he looked so cute and thought I would share this picture.

Bees in bed

Well we don't have bees in our bed... but that is what we were reading about tonight. I stopped off at the library today to get some books for the boys. Josh has an obsession for bees. He's actually very scared of them and wont go outside if he sees them flying by. It's kinda annoying when we are at the park and he sees one because he freaks out so badly that we sometimes have to end up going home. He's never been stung by one but he saw my mom get stung by one and I think it traumatized him. So we are working on reading more about them to see if maybe it will ease his mind a bit and maybe he wont be so frightened by them.


Even I learned some very interesting facts about bees:)

A date...

So I took the boys to breakfast this morning... Just the three of us since daddy got home from the mid and I knew he needed to sleep. (what a good wife I am) Anyway I told the boys to get dressed so that we could go on a date. When Josh was little we would always go to breakfast together... Just the two of us and he always called it a date. So today the three of us went on a date to IHOP. It was oh so yummy!
This is the funny part... Elijah said mom since we are on a date can I kiss you??? I thought to myself what in the world... where did you get that from? So he says well when you go on a date your suppose to kiss the girl when its over. I said no, there would be no kissing on this date or any date that he goes on in the future. Goodness he is only four years old and thinks he has to kiss the girl when he goes on a date.
Boy am I gonna have my hands full with this one:)



He's thinking..
Love my two beautiful boys!

Saturday...

Eric was home for the day so we decided to take the boys fishing. They just love it and I know Eric loves that they enjoy going with him. We had to make a quick stop at Walmart and get Elijah a new fishing pole since he broke his. We got him a cool Transformers one.

Just waiting for a bite... Unfortunately no luck today. We had a few that got away:(

But they still enjoyed themselves!

Back to school!!!

Today was the first day of school and my boys were super excited! I didn't even have to wake them up and get them ready... They got up all on their own and came down stairs ready to go. Josh is really looking forward to this year because he got an awesome teacher. Plus one of his good buddies is in his class. Elijah was a bit nervous but after picking him up he said he loved school and can't wait to go back tomorrow. He says his teacher is really nice:)

He looks so handsome with those glasses on.

I think he was tired of me taking pictures....

It's a ....

Well as most of you know we went for our ultrasound today and they said it's a

I think I am in denial just because I mean I have two boys whats the chance right? So I hope that in a few months we can get another ultrasound done so that we can be for sure! I mean the tech did say she was only 95% sure so that 5% is still in the back of my head. lol

We were able to take Josh in with us and he loved every minute of it. He thought it was the coolest ever. He loves that he is going to have a baby sister. He hopes she will be chubby just like Ruby:)

Elijah stayed with Melissa only because we knew that he wouldn't stay still. When we picked him up and told him about baby sister.... He cried. Big wow there... I knew he was going to be upset... After a few minutes of crying and begging me to have a boy I told him that I would take him to McDonald's and we could talk about it there. So now he says maybe we can have a sister. "Maybe" Well hopefully he will get over it soon because there's no turning back now! So there you have it and if your wondering her name will be...

Sara Elisabeth

Glasses

Well here's my son and his new glasses. He wasn't too excited at first but I think now he's getting use to them. I think he looks very handsome:)

Snow cone please!

I took the boys out to get a snow cone this afternoon and it was perfect weather for it. I had wanted one since earlier when we were at mom's club but they weren't open yet:(



Here's Josh and his red tongue... he got a candy apple one
Elijah of course just wanted a green one since that is his favorite color. Lemon-lime:)

And us three showing what color we got. I love the blue bubble gum!

Lake

I took the boys out to the lake Thursday and they had lots of fun with Justin and Andrew... Here are a few pics of them.
