Mother's Day at the edge of the World ♥

I was thrilled when my Husband told me he and Christian would be taking me to my most favorite place for Mother's Day! Yes, that's correct the edge of our world and the begining of another, The Ocean! I was gifted with an absolutely gorgeous diamond heart and key pendant and was spoiled by a day by the sea with my three loves, Hector, Christian, and The Pacific!

Oh you beautiful Pacific Ocean ♥ I am genuinely in love with you!

Yes the sight of aqua water was met with squeals of excitement!








Lil man loves the Ocean just as much as I do! This was a beautiful backdrop. Mother Nature at her finest!

The lil man and I- the reason I am allowed the privilege of Celebrating Mother's Day.

I was so happy when he told me we'd be going for Mother's Day and so we left right after Christian's first t-ball game, Saturday May 8th, the day before Mother's Day. We usually go for just the day and that makes it so much less stressful and I completely absorb the time the three of us spend in the car driving for 2hrs. It's a double-whamey!

The weather forecast noted a high of 58 degrees, and so we excpected it to be a bit on the chillier side with sunshine, but when we got there we rolled the windows down and the car read 66degrees and it was wonderful! Absolutely perfect! As we drove about the windy coastal roads my heart fluttered with wings as I saw that aqua water in the distance! Christian's squeal of excitement was in unison with mine! Luckily, this Momma always packs for two kinds of weather- cold and warm! We drove until we saw our destination and you better believe the Nikon made it out to photograph this special day with my guys!

You'll have to bare with me. I really tried to be selective of the photos to keep it to a minimum, but it was far more difficult than you'd think! lol

Daddy && Bugg

Isn't that winding road in the distance gorgeous?

My beautiful morningstar!

Just the two of us.

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.

The man who made me his Mrs.!

*Squeal*



Men like him, you just don't find them everyday.

Love this photo.

A ladybug landed right into my Bugg's hand! So sweet.

A little piece of heaven on earth.



And if you'll notice, the earth really is round! lol

Look at that beautiful face I made!

I dream of this.

Bugg did a wonderful job of taking photos!

That's the lil guy I love! Loving the ocean so passionately as his Momma.

Dancing in and with the ocean.

Fearless.

Beautiful.

Footprints in the sand.





It takes a special man to come into a woman and childs life and embrace the two as one.

I love him so.

I love him with a heart so full it spills over!

Having a chat with his 1st starfish of the day.

Momma's day complete with our very own happy, dancing starfish!

I am so beyond blessed to have the gift of Motherhood because of the most beautiful, bright, challenging, loving child I know.

I love you, Christian Hayden Ortiz.

I am so blessed to have a husband who makes Motherhood something I get to enjoy, instead of something I am forced to squeeze into my days.

I am thankful for you, Hector Antonio Ortiz.

Batter up!

Christian was running for home here....... He chose the number "4" for his jersey, as his birthday is October 4th. :)

Proud to land on home! Way to go, Christian!

Outfield AND paying attention! lol

Batter up! You can do it, Chrisitan!


Run to 1st, baby!

So, Saturday began early and out the door! Breakfast was served and Christian was dressed in his game day duds! That little boy sure does pull of the baseball look very well! lol He was excited and so were we. Today would be the first game day of his 2nd t-ball season. We had a few minor setback in regards with the team, but I'm happy to say that our team is full of parents who are willing to go the extra mile to see these kiddos succeed and have a great time this season.

"Hey, Momma & Nana!"

Silly boy enjoying a break in the dug out after coming in from batting.

"Good game!"

Proud Nana.

Proud parents. :)

We're looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season goes. We haven't even made it to the 2nd game, yet and he's declared that he's ready to join MYF this fall! Where's my SUV at?! lol It's about time to upgrade, since this Momma clearly has years ahead of her of carrying sports equipment! I can't say it any more clearly that it's my pleasure to do so!

And they grow in the blink of an eye.

So, it's safe to say the madness of our calendar has overriden our days and I haven't had the time nor desire to squeeze in blog posting in an entire week! However, all good reasons!

Last Wednesdays post left you off on that day and we flew straight into the weekend with Thursday which began Christian's last t-ball practice before his 1st t-ball game of the season! Such a great experience t-ball has been this last year and this year motivationally and socially. I'll post a few pics as I go along.

On Friday, the 7th we were able to catch up with My long time friend, Lauren, and her daughter, Sarah, and join in celebration of her 7th Birthday at Boomers, a local ride and game attraction in Fresno. Lauren and I met in highschool and well, ended up pregnant 5 months apart, and being as young as we were, it was great to have someone to relate to during such such a new and confusing experience. Needless to say, Christian and Sarah met in diapers and were close for many years until recent years when the chaos of schedules and life threw a wrench in our spokes and we weren't able to see eachother as often. It was great seeing eachother. Here are a few photos from her party. They were both being shy at first, and of course after I put my camera away so I wouldn't damage my 2nd baby (lol), they warmed up and unfortuantely I missed on photos of the two playing miniature golf, go-karts and video games, together. It was great getting the two fo them, together again!

Wednesday, Happy Day

Middle of the week come and gone! The days have been warm and breezy and Bugg was able to wear shorts for the first time this year, yesterday.



This morning Hector and I dropped Bugg off at school and then headed to the local swap meat. I love that place! Nothing better than rummage shopping all in one location. We were able to get the spare key made for the pontiac and for such a reasonable price! Also, I found a really neat antique "looking" framed wall art of a flintlock pistol by Turner Wall Art. I will post a pic, tomorrow. I can see it hanging somewhere, just not sure where yet. lol! Tacos and champurado and my day was set! We spent a good 2 hours there, and honestly the best part of it all is getting in some good quality time with my Husband. :)

Cleaned house picked up Bugg, and then we headed out to do some shopping. I finally went and bought this professional window cover that is supposed to block daylight out for those who work graveyard. The sun has become considerably brighter in recent day and Hector had had a hard time sleeping because of it. I was also able to find a neptune night light for Bugg's room and it couldn't have been more perfect for his bedroom makeover. It's projects the solar system onto the ceiling! He, actually WE love it!










After homework and assembling Hector's dinner and lunch for work we head to MeMaw's and Papa's for family night and the kids had a great time throwing the ball around, batting, and getting good practice in. Christian's first game of the season is this Saturday and Alex made his school's baseball team (the only 4th grader who did so I might add!) and so it's become a regular thing to see the boys practicing when they're together. Of course rough housing makes the list, too. Climbing tree's and riding scooters! As always, Bless my MeMaw's heart, she makes dinner for us all! Fresh flour tortillas...mmmmmmmm!




I've almost got Christian's room assembled, I just realized that I need to buy some more alligator hooks for the back of the shelves. I can't handle hanging them w/ the nail hole that they come with. They're unstable and really a pain to match up with the nails. I'm so excited to see the finished result! His big boy room! He grew so quickly! I'm reminded by the fact that my little, my baby, is finishing up 1st grade and soon to be entering the 2nd grade! I almost cried when I took him to class on the first day of this school year and he actually had to sit at an assigned desk! That was a huge milestone that thit me like a rock to my chest. He was so itty-bitty and was barely shoulders over the top of it. He's not only the youngest in his class, but now he's the tallest! Go figure! It's all happened so quickly. On his last day of 1st grade I'll be sure to post a pic from the last days of pre-school and kinder and you will see for yourself just how fast they grow. Bitter-sweet.
