I was talking with my mom this weekend about how you just can't judge, because you just don't know all the facts.
Last night Juan wasn't feeling good, by this morning he was miserably sick. He doesn't get sick often, but he felt awful. I told him not to go to work and to stay home in bed. Even though I encouraged him to stay home, in the back of my mind I was thinking about the lost wages and all the things we could use that money for. I kept wondering why he had to get sick.
About an hour ago Juan got a text from his boss. They had a delivery today in Pocatello. The text showed a photo of the trailer off the road and the truck upside down in the median.
My mom was right, you just can't judge! The lost wages of today mean nothing when compared with hospital bills or loss of wages from an injury. I'm glad my husband is home, safe and asleep in the room next to me.
(Maybe someday I'll get to a point of faith/trust that when things happen, like getting sick, I won't panic. I'll not judge, fear or doubt, knowing that things are happening for a reason.)
Just wanted to share and hope you are feeling blessed today, we are counting our blessings:)

9 months old
I know, it's weird, 9 months. My baby has now spent more time OUTSIDE my belly than INSIDE my belly. He is growing and changing so much and I'm so glad I get to be here to watch ever second of it. I have the best job on earth, seriously.
Here is some photo proof: Goofing around with the camera yesterday afternoon before naptime
He's getting to be more and more fun as he wants to read, build block towers, tickle, play peekaboo, etc. We've been going to the library once or twice a week now. He loves to see the fish pond and waterfall, but we're having a hard time not eating the library books. Mostly, I read my novel while he plays at my feet and watches kids walk by. He loves watching boys trudge by in snow boots, he thinks it's hilarious and just sits there and giggles. I can't wait for spring so we can bust out the stroller again. I do have to confess though, I have gone to Target on several occasions, just to get out of the house and roll around with Blaz. He loves their bright red carts the best, and we don't buy anything, just cruise around looking at stuff. Lol, lame, but it works.
He still isn't crawling yet, very close, but not quite there. He gets on all fours and rocks back and forth though. He loves standing up and holding on to the edge of the couch. He will walk if you hold his hands and walk with him. Juan thinks he will walk before he crawls.
Sorry I can't figure out how to turn these pics, but you get the idea. I put Blaz in his pac n play while I did my hair and make up, this is what I found:
"I know I can get this diaper undone, I know I can do it!"
"Uh oh, mommy caught me!"
Like I said earlier, I'm loving staying home. I'm sooo grateful Juan was willing to help me cut our budget in half so I could stay home. We don't have cable, gym memberships, we haven't seen a movie in a theater in almost a year and I can't even remember the last vacation we took. It's worth the sacrifice, and I'll eat tuna sandwiches for lunch forever if it means I can just be mommy:) I don't think Juan ever stops by to read my blog, but I will be forever grateful for his sacrifice for our family. Yay!
We have a busy weekend with a wedding tomorrow. I'm excited for a big Mexican reception, dinner and dance. Mmmm, I'm hoping for tamales:)

My Copy Gato
This last week Blaz has become a copier, we've been calling him our copy gato (cat in spanish). He's very interested in other babies and the sounds they make, it's too funny.
--Example: We were visiting friends when their 1 year old fell and bonked her head. She started screaming very loud and high-pitched. Blaz was sitting on my lap and watching her intently. Then, all of a sudden, he screams super loud, matching her pitch. We all looked at his face, he wasn't crying too, he was just practicing the noise!
--On Sunday he was sitting by the piano playing with a little baby during primary. She would grunt, he would grunt. She would say uhhhhhh, and he would too.
--Lastnight we had Izaiah and Dazzly (neice and nephew) over for dinner and we were playing a board game. Every time I would cheer, Blaz would yell, trying to match my sound.
Sooo funny! He's very excited about other kids. We've been going to the library twice a week and he likes to sit there and watch other kids. He likes to watch little boys run, he giggles whenever they walk by. I try to read books with him, but he mostly likes to sit on the couches and watch other kids.
I'm going to start babysitting in april, kind of excited. Some friends from the ward are having a baby girl this month, and I'll watch her 2 days a week while her mom works. She will just be a few months old, I think Blaz will like having a playmate around. I will enjoy the extra money and it'll be fun to have a girl around. I love being a stay-at-home mom, but an extra couple hundred a month will be great. It's only 2 days per week, so we can still go to the library and have our normal routine.
2010 has been great so far. Juan's shop is slowing down a little, but he'll have steady work through the rest of the winter. Church basketball has started again and he's loving it. Blaz really likes watching sports, his eyes follow the ball. What a boy:) I can't believe we have to move soon, it doesn't seem like a year and a half already. We are hoping to stay in the ward, and would love a house over an apartment. But of course, most important is affordable. We've been going through all our stuff and selling things we haven't used since we moved here. I figure if we haven't touched in in almost 2 years, we probably don't need it. I still have a dollhouse kit, guitar and elliptical machine if anybody's interested!
One of our 2010 goals was to have Family Home Evening every monday night. We sing a song from the primary songbook in spanish (I'm trying to learn them in spanish) and then we're going through all of the pictures in the gospel art kit and reading the scriptures on the back. It's simple, but that way Juan doesn't have to worry about preparing anything extravagant. When Blaz gets older we'll include more questions, coloring, role playing, etc. Last week he held the picture of Jesus and nibbled on the corners while we read in 3 Nephi. I loved it, my little family is just perfect. It makes me more and more grateful for the priority my mom placed on gospel learning in our home and it makes me appreciate a husband who has the same goals as I do.
And, since I can't make a post this long without a picture - here you go! The most adorable load of laundry ever:
Blaz thinks laundry baskets are sooo cool. Now all of them have teeth marks on the rim, lol. Did I mention his 2 top teeth have poked through? They're taking a while to get big, but they are there!

The holidays came and went!
The holidays flew by, we had a wonderful time, and now I'll get to the details. This was Blaz's first everything, so I paid more attention this year and tried to make everything extra special.
Christmas Eve we decided we are spending just us every year, no driving and crowds, lol. Juan and I made a list of yummy foods that we wanted to make for dinner, and all we could think of were the appetizers we wanted, so our new tradition was born -- Appetizer Dinner! Every Christmas Eve we will make every delicious appetizer we want and that's dinner, it was fun. We had deviled eggs, potato skins, bbq little smokies, mozerrella sticks, pigs in a blanket, orange rolls and breadsticks. The power went out for a few hours in the middle of the day, so we took a nap, piled with blankets since the heater was off. We drove around in the evening and looked at lights and then came home for some hot chocolate. It was perfect:) Our neighbor brought over a gift for Blaz and we let him open it. He played with the ribbon for a while, the pushed it away, he never really got in to the wrapping paper. He's modeling it below, a cute crocheted beanie.
Christmas morning was kind of lame this year, but we kept reminding ourselves that Blaz didn't care. Next year will be more festive:) I got a dress form, we found Juan some great church pants at JCPenny, and Blaz got a new outfit (yaaay Kmart clearance!) and 2 new books. We didn't wrap anything, since we'd already been using them. We didn't even have a tree set up, but the lights around the window were fascinating for Blaz. This year's christmas theme was practical:) We were in the mall looking around at all the cool things I wanted to buy and I had to remind myself that someday we'll have a beautifully decorated tree in our own home, piled with fun toys and things, but this year we're enjoying simplicity. Christmas under $100 is possible, lol. After sleeping in we drove to my parents' house and enjoyed a yummy lunch and games with everybody. I'm officially no good at wii resort and Blaz loved hanging out with uncle Alex.
Juan only had Christmas day and New Year's Day off, so he spent a lot of the holiday working hard. A lot of customer's demanded their kitchens get done before the new year, so he spent some long days working.
For New Year's Eve we went to the Spanish Branch's dinner and dance fiesta. The food was great, music loud and dancing fun. I haven't danced with my hubby in a while, so I really enjoyed it. Juan's parents were there too. I'm so glad we found a dance event that is appropriate for kids and not just for single people. We hope to bring our family there every year, it was a blast. We pooped out at about 11:30 and headed for home. We went to sleep with the sound of the neighbors lighting fireworks:) Yaaay 2010!!
On New Year's Day and weekend Blaz and me had an unexpected super fun family weekend. I've been wanting to make a quiet book for Blaz, so it just worked out perfectly that my mom, sister and me all went to my Grandma's house to sew. We spent several hours in the basement, but we got LOTS of cute pages done (don't worry pictures coming soon) and had a great time. My aunt and uncle and cousins ended up being there too, so it was great. Blaz really likes his 2nd cousin Kylee, she's 4 months older than him. They liked ripping Grandpa's magazines together and shared toys really well. (By sharing, I mean one would slobber on it, then pass to the other for more slobbering, lol). It was a lot of fun, and I'm super excited about this quiet book. Both Blaz's great grandmas, grandma, mom and aunt worked on the book, thanks everybody!!
We really missed Stewart and Becky (in WV) and Nancy, John and kids (in OR) this year and we're excited to see everybody this summer!! (Yes Stew, that is a veiled threat, lol, you HAVE to come visit us or else. . . . mwhahaha)

8 months!
I'm 8 months old now!!!
e
Monday was Blaz's 8 month birthday. He changed a lot this last month, he's getting stronger and more determined. He's perfected the "dive" maneuver where you're holding him with one arm and he makes a whole-body dive for something he sees that he really wants. Yikes!
He has 2 bottom teeth, they are super adorable. Every book he owns has funny chew marks in the corners. He sits up like a pro, but hasn't started crawling yet. He face-plants a lot and rocks back and forth on his knees, so we know he's close.
He likes to chase me around the house in his jeep. Yesterday was pretty funny while I was getting gifts ready. He was riding around my feet in the kitchen, when I went to the office to get some ribbon he ran down the hall squealing to follow me. When I went back to the kitchen, he raced right back. He likes being in the kitchen while I cook, racing every time I open a drawer or cupboard to get there before it closes. He is determined to get into the fridge sometime too:)
His favorite toys are his books. We have story time several times a day. He owns one book with pictures of babies playing, he giggles every time we read it, it's hilarious. He got a new puppy riding toy from his abuelitos that he's been riding lately. He can't get off without falling, so we've had a couple of tears.
He's not really in to Christmas, in fact the Christmas tree scares him a little. He loves the lights we have around the window and he likes to watch the snow fall with me. He loves to crinkle paper and he is dying to get his hands on my cell phone.
My favorite part of the day is when Juan gets home from work and Blaz starts kicking, panting and laughing. He flings his arms open and waits for Juan to hold him, it's too cute:) He loves going to primary with me, he's really interested in other kids. I usually sit him on the floor and he watches what they do and laughs. He doesn't go to nursery until next fall, but I bet he'll be excited. Every time I go in there he gets pretty excited.
He's doing ok with solid foods, but he's not very adventerous in trying new things. He hates potatoes, he gags and barfs everytime. He loves fruit, especially peaches and bananas. He likes the yogurt and whole grain puffs from Gerber too. He ate some spaghetti the other night and did good. I gave him some bites of applie pie too and he loved it (of course). He has a sippy cup with water, but he likes to bite it more than drink out of it. The top is covered with teeth marks and scrapes, lol.
He's just so much fun and I love watching my little guy grow. Last Christmas I remember sitting on the couch with Juan, feeling little kicks in my stomach and wondering what our little boy would be like. I'm not disappointed, he's so much fun and makes me laugh everyday.
I was reading January's Ensign and there was a lady who mentioned how she was nervous about raising righteous children in this world, and somebody (an older lady, can't remember exactly) told her, "You HAVE to! That's why you're here!" I like that.
Merry Christmas everybody!!! (I know, I haven't done our Christmas cards yet, eek! I still have a few more sewing orders to finish before tomorrow. I'm just taking a little computer break:)

Dear Santa
So, for Christmas this year we decided we each get to spend $20 on whatever we want. This eliminates all stress of trying to find something the other person will like and holds us to our budget.
I'm the one who came up with the idea, Juan is totally on board and we wouldn't understand Blaz even if he did complain. Now, I'm the one messing it up, hehe. Here's the breakdown
Juan:
New tape measure - $7
$13 remaining
Blaz:
4 new books - $2
Rocking horse- free from grandparents
Blocks- free from grandparents
$18 remaining
Camille:
$30 dress form on craigslist (I've been wanting one forever and they usually are upwards of $300 for one this nice. How can I resist?)
$10 in the negative
So, I'm thinking here that I can just take $10 from my son's Christmas money to go towards my dress form. He already got to free gifts, so it's not like he won't have any toys. He's 7 1/2 months old, boxes are more entertaining then toys right now anyway. Lol, just nobody tell him that on his first christmas his mommy took his money to buy stuff for her, hehe.
Or, I got a Christmas money in the mail from my grandparents (thank you!!) and I could use that to pay for the dress form, plus $10 from my money, and still have $10 leftover in my fund to buy something!! Hmm, sounds like a plan?
But, however I want to work it . . . . I already called the seller and picked up the dress form. It's beautiful and looks fabulous next to my sewing table.
(This is why I think housewives should run the family budget. This way we can work things so that everyone (especially us) is happy! I heart my new dress form!!)

Thanksgiving and Busy
It's been a little while since I've posted, but I have been keeping very busy.
Here's my thanksgiving recap:
Our ward had a turkey bowl and turkey trot on thanksgiving morning. I kept saying all week that if it was good weather I would bundle up Blaz in the stroller and walk the 5k. Of course, it was sunny and beautiful. I think only 3 other people did the 5k, but it was still fun. Blaz slept almost the whole time. Juan played football (can you spot him in the green shirt?) and it was a fun way to start the day.
We went to my parents house for the big meal. We really missed Stewart and Becky this year, it was small, but delicious. My mom made ham instead of turkey, mmmm. We ate a lot, watched Angel and Demons and played a game. We stayed til almost 8 o'clock, it was fun. Blaz enjoyed getting lots of attention from everybody and even took a good nap.
I am sewing nonstop getting ready for another craft boutique (I know, I thought they would be over too) but I couldn't resist just one more.
More updates later!!
