alrighty everybody. before you see some of the new pics and videos of the family, let's go over an update. the faithful family Toyota finally died out on us. fifth gear went out and so Tyler and i were forced to put up the money for a new vehicle (as it was actually cheaper to get a new car than replace the gears). we now have a 92 Toyota Camry that is in GREAT condition and is an auto!! much easier for me to drive in the city of springs (with all its hills). i have been in and out of the hospital the last few days due to my tachycardia worsening. all they can do for me is make sure i am stable with lots of fluids and tell me to stay off my feet. so i have sansed the idea of working this weekend and instead am going to just rest and spend time with my family. Tyler is going to start traveling down to the San Luis valley to work. it is only 9 an hr to start... but if he stays with it diligently and works hard, he will move up fast. we are going to have to work out a car situation there as far as laylees day care here and my school schedule. in other news, our little bug turns 1 YEAR OLD NEXT MONTH!!! we are so excited to celebrate the first year that she has had on the planet! we are in process of planning the big day for her and will have more updates on all that very soon.

k guys. here are some hellaciously cute videos of laylee and her goofy mom and dad!

Tyler's birthday celebration!

For Tyler's birthday this year i wanted to do something different that we had never done before.. i also wanted for us to get out of the house and just spend some time with each other. so i booked us a suite at the Radisson hotel just down the road with a package called the "spring break package." It included a nice dinner with free drinks, this amazing king sized sleep number bed and a free breakfast buffet the next morning. Tina and i checked in early so we could set the place up prior to Tyler's arrival. we put rose petals all over the bed and on the floor leading up to it. here are the pictures of the room upon Tyler's arrival.

the room as we walked in...

Tyler reading my birthday card to him.

our awesome king sized sleep number bed! i soooo want one of these.

me and ty after arriving at the suite!

Ty doing a "sexy pose"

After we checked into the hotel i had one more really sweet surprise for Tyler. i had purchased tickets for a 3D IMAX showing of Rio. It was snowing really hard when we went to the movie so i didn't get any really good pictures of the movie theatre. but i did get a couple of Tyler playing in the arcade after the movie..

Tyler playing a pilot battle game 

Ty was good at this game. i think he would have made a good pilot..

after getting back to the suite, we decided to make our way down to the hot tub for a relaxing soak in the snow! Tyler and i just love hot tubs!

me... kinda dissapearing into the mist!

this was the roof of the gazeebo. the wood was so pretty.

Tyler swimming around the hot tub. notice the ghetto booty due to an air bubble. i always knew he was full of hot air! lol

Ty and i taking a break on the edge of the hot tub.

after about an hour in the jacuzzi we were ready to move onto the pool. once we got in the pool room, i was feeling so relaxed  i didn't end up swimming. but ty seamed like he had a great time splashing around!

can u see where laylee gets her looooong feet and toes?! lol

my goofy ass husband... lol

i spent about an hour watching ty splash around in the pool before we started getting really sleepy, and admittadely anxious to try out the awesome sleep number bed. Tyler and I both really like our beds soft.. so we had our settings at like, 20. as you can see below.. we really sunk into the mattress. it was so cool. we felt like the bed was eating us! we want one of these beds so bad!

 Ty and i didn't have to checkout until two because i had requested late checkout for us.. but after breakfast we both felt like we needed to be home with Laylee for her first easter. these were some pictures of Laylee, easter morning taken by Tina. she looked so cute.. our happy lil' bug.

chunky cheeked happy girl!

this pic is too cute. laylee looks like she has ears because of her bouncy chair. lol

kickin it on the couch.

All in all it was a very relaxing Saturday and a great easter for us. i was so happy Tyler liked his birthday surprise outing. Hope you guys enjoyed the new updates!! 

pain pain and more pain...

so i have been in allot of pain as of late. i finally broke down and went to the doctor. he thinks i have ovarian cists and there is a possibility that my IUD has been knocked around. i am scheduled for an ultra sound for next week, first thing so we can figure out exactly whats going on in there. until then, i have been heavily medicated to manage the pain. i haven't been able to do much in lab as i do not trust myself with a needle right now. but we are covering CPR this Friday and are scheduled to visit the morgue and see a live otopsy, and dissect hearts. so i will have plenty of time to catch up.

our big girl...

okay ya'll, so ty and i were bathing laylee and getting her ready for bed, when she started to poo in the bath tub!! the brilliant man that ty is, he sets her on the potty and she has officially had her first poo in the potty!!! (mean while my dumb ass is running frantically to get a diaper... ) congrats to our growing girl who at nine months old has already pooped in the toilet!

hope you guys enjoyed this hilarious moment we caught on tape.. i only wish i had gotten it on video.

blood draw video

okay so heres a video i took of merrisa doing a blood draw on me! she does good up till pulling out the second tube when she accidentally pulled the needle out with it. good thing the tourniquet was popped off or we would have been showered with my blood! was kind of funny. i warned her that i hadn't had enough water and they may collapse on her.. but everything turned out good.
