Boys and their Toys!!

What is it with boys and guns? I have been very wary about getting Jace any toy guns to play with. I was not raised around guns so I am scared to death of them. Well just because Jace didn't have any toy guns didn't mean he didn't play with them. One of the first things he made with his giant lego's was a gun and of course every stick shaped object turns in to a gun too.

I finally gave in and bought Jace a little cap gun a couple of weeks ago, while Luis was in Mexico, because he is going to be a cowboy for Halloween. I gave him strict rules about the gun, he can not point it or shoot at anything that is living - just toys etc. Well of course this became his favorite toy that he wanted to take everywhere. He asked several times to take it places when we go out and I would just tell him absolutely not!!

When Luis came home from Mexico he took Jace to school in the morning and Jace proceeded to tell Luis about his gun and that mommy said "absolutely not can he take his gun to school." Luis called me right away to tell me what Jace told him because he thought it was so funny.

Happy 1st Birthday Elizabeth!!

Today was our nieces 1st birthday. Her birthday party was on Saturday, she had a great time, especially with the cake as you can see in the pictures. Unfortunately Jace and Luis couldn't make it because Jace had a 103 degree fever that started on Thursday night until Sunday afternoon. The poor little guy was just crushed that he couldn't go to the party, he had been talking about baby Elizabeth's birthday for about a month. So I decided not to take the present and card that Jace picked out for her to her birthday party and we would try to meet up today on her actual birthday so he could give it to her himself. Well wouldn't you know that his fever came back last night, this time with a pretty good cough to go with it. He was already so excited about seeing Elizabeth that we couldn't disappoint him again so since this time it was just a low grade fever (about 100) and he made it thru school okay we just stocked up on wipes and hand sanitizer to take to dinner and it all worked out. Happy Birthday Elizabeth, and Happy 1/2 Birthday Jace!!

Jace Funnies!!!

Oh my goodness Jace has been totally cracking us up lately!!! I just have to share these two stories that happened this morning. Our routine for Jace is to bathe him in the morning. So he plays around in the tub in our bathroom while Luis and I get ready for work. Well I got out of the shower and was drying off and Jace was on his tummy in the bathtub and proceeds to tell me "Mommy I am blowing bubbles......... with my FARTS!!!" I just thought that was the funniest thing ever, and then to top it off he then tells me how smart he is by saying "FART starts with F!!" What a little genius we have on our hands.

The next story happened a few minutes later after Luis got Jace out of the bath and all dressed. Luis sent Jace back into the bathroom to give me a hug and a kiss before they left for school/work and that is when I brush Jace's hair. So I gave Jace a hug and a kiss then I brushed his hair and he tells me, "Mommy, I don't want anyone to touch my hair because it's AWESOME" how histarical is that!?!?! Such a little character that Jace is!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

My Mom turns the big 6-0 today!!!

It's a ..............BOY!!!

It's probably no surprise to anyone that we are going to be having another boy!! That makes 4 boy's in a row for the Hernandez family. Luis and Jace came with me to my appointment. We kept telling Jace about the appointment and how he would get to see the baby and it was so funny because apparently we didn't explain it properly because he was expecting to actually see the baby not just a picture of the baby. After we left the hospital Jace called both of his Grandmothers to tell them he is going to have a baby brother.
I have to admit finding out I was having another boy was a very crazy experience. Don't get me wrong I am thrilled to have another boy, especially since Jace is so great, but I was sad knowing that Luis won't get to experience having a little girl, especially because as you all probably know I am a huge Daddy's Girl myself!!
We have not picked out a name yet but I am hoping to figure it out soon so I can have his stocking ready to go by Christmas!!

Love Hurts!!!
