Christmas Time with Family

This year for Christmas, my mom flew in from PA to spend it with us. I'm so glad she did. We had a really good time!
I hate it when she leaves though! I don't see her very often so it's hard because I already miss her. She will be coming back in April or May though to be here for the birth of our Baby G. (This is what I've been calling her because we haven't decided on a name yet :)..Stands for Baby Girl <3)

We did a lot of shopping and my mom spoiled me, Ephraim, Baby G, and Enoch so much! We had a lot of fun and it was really nice having her here with us to celebrate Christmas.

While she was here, we went to Temple Square to see the lights. It wasn't as cold as last year so we were happy about that! We got up Christmas morning and made a big breakfast, then just relaxed and opened presents. Later we went over to Ephraim's parents house for Christmas dinner and opened some more presents. They were too generous with their gifts though! They shouldn't have gotten us soo much but we really appreciate it and all they do for us.

Here are some pictures that we took.



This was at a Ward Breakfast. Santa was there collecting letters from the kids telling Santa what they want to Christmas.





Opening just ONE of Grandma's Christmas present.

Just some thoughts

Since yesterday when we found out we are having a girl, I just kept thinking how happy I am to have another child. I know many women out there cannot have children and I feel for them. I am so grateful that I have been given an opportunity to be a mother and have children. I am so excited to have a girl and kind of nervous at the same time. ha
I'm just so used to having a boy, not sure what having a girl is like. I can't see myself buying girlie clothes yet or rather anything pink/purple for my daughter. I'm sure that won't last long though!
Having one of each just seems right :) Even though, I would have been totally happy having another boy.
I have had a some issues with this pregnancy and to be honest, it has gotten me a little scared. I found a great neurologist though that is eager to help me and make sure everything goes smoothly with this pregnancy. Along with my OB who I really like :)

I'm just grateful to have this little baby growing in my belly and can't wait to welcome her into our family.

Here are a few pictures.

Two are from Halloween. Enoch was a red crayola crayon :) He looked so cute.




I love these two <3

It's a.......

Well, we went to the doctors today and got our ultrasound. We found out we are having a....

We couldn't be more excited! One of each :)

Some more exciting news!

After we came back from PA we were in the middle of our move. So that was pretty crazy, trying to get everything packed up until we had to get out of our old place.
We lived with my mother in law for a little after the move until we found a place. BUT
We found a house finally! It's pretty exciting news for us. We love it! It's nice to finally have a place of our own to live in :)

Many of you already know but since this is my blog then I'll announce it again.
The Reyna family is expecting baby # 2. We're super excited! Due date is May 3, 2011. I'm 14 weeks today. My OB said I could find out on the 19th of this month if it's a boy or girl. Exciting :)
I had my first ultrasound and let me just say that this little baby would not stay still for nothing! Just kept moving all over the place! He/she is an active little one.

I just want to say how incredibly grateful I am for everything in my life right now. The Lord truly has blessed us and I am just thankful for that. <3

Anyways, that's all our news for now.

Trip to PA

The last three months have been pretty busy for us! Lots of new and exciting things going on. In July we flew out to PA to visit family. It was so much fun! I love visiting in the summer. They actually have beaches there :)
We went to the beach in NJ with my mom and her boyfriend. We all had a blast. It was Enoch's first time at the beach and playing in the sand and he loved it.











Ephraim wasn't able to stay the whole time but Mom and I took Enoch to Sesame Place to see Elmo. Oh how he loves Elmo!








We had Enoch's birthday party there but my mom hasn't given me the pictures yet.
He had a lot of fun though with the other kids and throwing water balloons :)

Family Portraits

Here are some pictures we took at Target. I love them! We didn't get all of them though :-( but oh well, I love the ones we did end up getting. I didn't upload all of them on here. The rest are on my face book page.
Enjoy!

Hello!

Hey guys! It's been a while since my last post. The Reyna Family is alive! I promise! :-D
We're all doing really good. Ephraim is working, working, working. I just registered for 2 classes online. I'll just be going part time but I can do it from home so that makes it soo much better.
Enoch is getting so big already. He's 21 months. He just amazes me everyday with everything he does. He is finally starting to say some words. It's such a great feeling when he does something or says something that I taught him. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right and that I really am teaching him and he's learning from me. I love this age! He is just soo fun. I'm really grateful to be a mother. It's the best job ever!

So as some of you know, my mom came out and surprised me for my birthday. Ephraim sent me a text Wednesday saying to "clean the house now, we have a visitor". My first thought was "what?". Who would be visiting me? And when he used the word "now", I thought that's weird, something is going on. I kept texting him back and asking him who it was and I got no text back. I hurried and cleaned the house. Then about a half hour later, I hear someone unlocking the door and I thought that must be Ephraim. What's he doing home soo early? And right when the door opens, in comes my mom!! I was just so surprised! They were both laughing because I was soo shocked that I didn't say anything. I felt like I was dreaming. haha
It was awesome for her to fly all this way to see me. And of course Enoch :)
She left on Tuesday :-/ I miss her already! I'm such a baby, I know. I just wish we could be closer.
Here are some pictures that were in my camera that I never uploaded.
