Almost half-way

 

 

 

 

Hello there.

Can you believe it's almost June??

Dang it, and I've only blogged seven times!!!

Woops so much for my goal of trying to be better at blogging.

I failed.

 

 

Oh well guess I will make up for it in the 6 1/2 months I have

left. So if I blow up your blog newsfeed, I'm sorry. Not really ; )

Anyways I am in a typing/writing mood. I could be sleeping but I can't

right now. It stinks because I get insomnia in the most inconvenient times.

 

I guess I will update you on life.

 

 {Let's see it's getting so hot it makes it hard to even want to go

 outside, (unless you're swimming that is)}

 

{I am loving being a stay home mom}

 

{I am falling more and more in love with my husband even

though I didn't think it was possible}

 

{I am still doing photography and it's a nice money maker,

and it keeps me busy editing pictures, and improving my skills}

 

{Timothy is no longer a baby, he's a big boy!}

 

{We have been having a great 2013}

 

{Getting excited for swim season and this summer}

 

{I am getting over a hard time I've been having that

absolutely sucks, let's just say midol and chocolate

have been my best friends}

 

{I HATE THAT TIME OF THE MONTH}

 

{I notice how much of a baby and a whimp I can be}

 

{Date nights have been life-savers}

 

{The Gospel has kept me sane, and positive through anything

and everything}

 

{Our first date 3rd year anniversary is this month!}

 

{Time is going too fast}

 

{Taking pictures of the babies and weddings have

been my favorite right now}

 

{I know I'm random, but that's why you love me!}

 

{I need to post more. THE END} 

 

 

 

 

 

(How cute is our family picture that we took in March?)

 

 

Love ya!



VACATIONS!

I am filled with excitedment. I am jumping up and down inside! I get to go to seaworld next month for my first time with my little family and some friends. I am thrilled!!!! I absolutely love going out of town and having some fun. Also, I'd like to mention we are staying at a super nice hotel. I can hardly wait and I want to just fast forward until next month. Not only that but next month my little love bug turns one!!!! I can't believe how fast time flies. Next month is going to be busy but fun. I can't wait to celebrate with my family and friends my babies birthday. Have a good weekend my friends, I know I will. (I should also mention that I am up late editing pictures because I have had a ton of side jobs) Yay!!!

can you feel the love?

My last post was a little too strong for my taste. I don't like to focus on the bad but sometimes I need to be honest to myself. I need to take a step back and take it easy. I tend to take on too much and get overwhelmed more than I should. So to change the mood because it's Valentines Day this week I want to make a list of things that I have been loving lately.. And of course I will post some lovey dovey pictures of my hubby and I <3 1. I love that I am getting better at the routines I need to to do with my son. 2. I love that we have been cooking more at home more . 3. I love that for Valentine's Day we got a zoo membership. 4. I love my husband more than ever right now! 5. I love my sons cute little personality coming out more and more everyday. 6. I love that I am getting more and more photography gigs. 7. I love that we are getting better at building better habits. 8. I love my family so much! 9. I love that my house is completely silent because both babies are napping. 10. I love the weather today it has been amazing!!! 11. I love my mom with all my heart, she is always there for us and is always willing to babysit. 12. I love Timothy and Chris 13. I love that it's love week all week! 14. I love that I am able to stay home with the babies. 15. I love the rainy weather. 16. I love that Easter is next month, 17. I love photography so much! 18. I love my family more and more every day. 19. I love my ward and neighborhood. 20. I love my Saviour and the gospel. I am so excited for Valentines Day, we are trying to plan something fun and exciting. I will share later what it is if all goes well. I don't want to write about all the things that I think will happen but instead I will blog it once it happens. :) I hope you have a loveable week with your loved ones and dont forget to share the love! love always,

FHE

I found the perfect lesson for tonight!! I thought I would share it because this is something I have been struggling with recently. I am not perfect and sometimes I do tend to get irritated very easily, specially if my son is getting into trouble and doesn't want to listen to me. I need to work on not getting so angry so easily and to be a better mom by being more and more patient. I specially need to work on not taking it out on Chris. Sometimes if we're having a bad unproductive day i tend to take it out on Chris once he gets home and he doesn't deserve that at all. I'm not an angry person, nor do I want to be around it but sometimes I feel tense and I am not being a nice person that I should be. Sometimes all I need is to take a deep breath and count to ten. SLOWLY. (I dont yell but i do tend to get frustrated and get a little mean and bossy) I need to remember that I am very blessed and I am loved. Most importantly I need to remember that those feelings aren't good and I need to pray to Heavenly Father for help. Have a great Monday!!! :) I know I will.

2013

It's been too long since I've blogged and I need to try and write about fun things we've been doing. My life is always crazy busy for the most part. I'm not just making this up i'm being very sincere and honest. ha ha.. Right now I am a stay home mom with a very active 10 month old baby- Timothy, and I watche my 8 month old niece 4 out of the 7 days a week. I love it and at the same time it's been the hardest job i've ever done. Some days are awesome, and we play, laugh and nap the day away, some days are not as blissful as i'd like them to be. But I offered to babysit my niece so I compromised myself in this position. I honestly don't want anyone else to watch my niece because I feel like I truly will love and watch her at the same time. I also like how Timothy is learning to play with another baby and he is going to be very close to his cousin. :) In a normal day with two babies I change about 8 or so diapers, and thats only for the time I have her. (She goes potty a lot more than my son). For the time being I don't work with my old boss, but someday maybe next year I will go back and work with her again. I love working and making money but at the same time I know I need to make my son my priority and take care of things at home even if that means sacrificing money and helping my boss. My family comes first to me and the rest follows. I truly have loved watching Timothy grow and taking care of him. He is such a cute little loveable boy. His personality is really starting to shine through. I can't believe he is going to be a year old in two months. I think I need to get going on planning his birthday party. I want to throw him a big fun birthday bash !!! We'll see though I have to figure out if it will even be worth the effort since he's only one and he won't remember it. (I honestly love an excuse to party!!!) I plan on being a better blogger this year and even though I'm trying to learn to keep up with Timothy I must try and blog at least once a week, even if it's a little update. I dont think I'll be a great blogger but I want to improve so that I can look back and be able to review my year with some highlights of our lives! Here's to a great year and to see what adventures this year will bring.

I seriously love this man more than anything or anyone else in the world. Im so happy to call him my husband and Im thankful he has the patience and love for me. I look forward to our two year anniversary this year because we are planning on going to a very special place. Ill give you a hint.. We went there for our honeymoon right after our wedding. I can hardly wait.

I will always love and support my husband no matter what.

Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there. You mean so much to your families. I want to especially thank my husband who sacrifices so much for our family. He is the best father I could've asked for. He is so perfect and loving to Timothy. My favorite part about being a mother is watching Chris and Timothy bond together. Well I have many favorite things but this is one of the many. Dear Chris(baby daddy), I love being married to you, the end! You brighten my days and you're very loving, patient, and kind. God truly knew that I needed someone patient and kind to be my partner. I honestly dont know what I would do without you. You are so perfect for me. As I watch you with Timothy I can honestly say that I love when you calm him down and put him to sleep when I'm running out of ideas. Timothy has a great example in his life. I hope he turns out to be a loving man like yourself. Thanks for all that you do babe and I am so glad we were able to become parents at the most perfect time. Timothy and I feel constantly blessed to have you in our lives. I love everything about you but I admire your talents for being the perfect dad. Thanks hun. Te amo siempre. Perla Rudd

November came and went

A lot of fun things happened in the month of November and I think it went too fast!

First off it was our anniversary on November 5th. I couldn't believe how fast the year went, it has been the best year I've shared with anyone. We had a pretty relaxing night and we weren't able to do too much since we both have been super busy and just wanted to relax. Chris worked all day! Poor guy he's been working so hard to try to get his own business started besides his QT job. :) He makes me such a proud wife. Anyways so I had been preparing his surprise all day! I had been finishin my hearts I was making so that I could heart attack the entire house. Then, I wrote on a hundred big hearts a hundred reasons why I love chris so much. I had so much fun with this idea. I think its easy to come up with the first 50 reasons then I just had to take a moment to think, but once I got in a rhythym I went superfast and finished them all. I also made him a poster that I painted myself. I was very happy with the end result I felt like this gift among with other things that I did came from my heart and I had to think them out and plan ahead.
By the time we went out for dinner we decided to go to Chipotle since I know I would love their burritos even though I've been super picky with this pregnancy. So we went out to the one out by superstition springs and then we went and got some delicious Kripy Kremes. After dinner we drove around to saguaro lake and got to have a really nice conversation while driving around. I was so thankful that we both had the night off and were able to spend it with each other. We had such an enjoyable night, it was so relaxing and beautiful. I honestly can't believe how fast a year goes by. I am so happy with my eternal companion and even though I know we're both not perfect we have grown to love each others imperfections and love each other for who we are. True love is amazing once you find it and then work hard to maintain it.

I truly couldn't have found a better eternal companion, I love him so much.


Love,

Grandma Rudd

I was so happy that I was able to meet such a special woman, who has a beautiful family. I am so thankful for her raising such a beautiful and strong family. She's truly a beautiful person. Even though I didn't know her for that long I could tell she was an amazing woman. Chris would tell me really nice stories about her, and it made me realize that she truly was an inspirational woman.
I know she's in a much better place with her husband.
Chris is so adorable he told me the other day that next time she sees me she'll be able to recognize me and for this reason I am thrilled about the next time I see her. (She had Alzheimer's so she never really remembered me)

Unfortunately this woman of such wisdom and pureness passed away this past Monday. RIP Grandma Rudd, I am very happy I had the opportunity to meet her.




Love,

Im thankful for the gospel & more

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week. My husband and I were both off and we got the entire weekend to relax and see each other all the time. I'm so happy he got Thursday and Friday so we could spend lots of time with our family. On Thanksgiving morning Chris played football and I stayed home and slept in. I also picked up the house and did some cleaning. By the time Chris made it home we got ready for dinner at 1pm, (now dinner at one is a bit early for me specially since I'm Mexican and we're used to eating at 7 or 8 ish.) But we got there at around noon to help set up and by lending extra hands.
FOOD WAS SO GOOD. I loved the Turkey and mashed potatoes, then for dessert I had some homemade apple pie. It was a perfect afternoon with my Rudd family. They were even nice enough to let my small family come- my dad and sister.(MOm was working :( )
We were there until about six or seven and then we went to my parents and had dinner number two.

Temple Sealing.

About two weeks ago we had the opportunity to go to a family sealing. Well I should say a baby sealed to her eternal family. What a special blessing for us to be able to attend such a wonderful and special event. It was so awesome being in that room and the spirit was very strong. I am very thankful for the Stewarts example and frienship. They deserve those children more than anyone else I know. I hope their family continues to grow and they keep doing what they're doing. Here are some pictures we took after the sealing. Isn't Chris such a natural with a baby ? I think so, he's so good with children I love seeing him hold and play with kids.







Love,

My newest nephew Malcom

He is so cute and tiny. I've already got to see him multiple times and I can't get enough of him. I'm so excited to hold our little baby... :)
Here are some pictures I took of him when I visited him. He's adorable and we are so blessed to have him in our family.









We love you very much and can't wait to keep watching you grow and get to see your personality come out.


Love,
