Its been a while...

Ok so it has been a long while since Liem and I have sat down to write a little blog for all of you people who read it, which I can't imagine is a lot of you. So lets start off with a list of what we have to share; job troubles, Samantha visiting, turning 3 months old, shot, laughing, football games, pinching and um breastfeeding, oh and Jennifer! Ok so lets get started!!

Job Troubles:
So lately I have been looking for a job. This is hard because I can only work when Sam isn't working. I mean we can't afford a babysitter, because it would just cancel out my salary. Well so far I have went and applied, and been offered 2 jobs. I was offered a job as a waitress at a very nice restaurant, probably the nicest one in Plattsburgh, but as it turned out, Sam will be working till 7 which means I can't work till about 7:30 and well, they close at like 10, so useless. Oh and I am going to be babysitting, which I will explain later. So that was out. I also applied at Target as well, because we thought Sam would be working later shifts, like after 1, but after I was offered the job, we found out that Sam's schedule will most likely be from 9-7 Sunday-Thursday. The store is only open from 8-9, so I wouldn't be able to work much, besides his 2 days off. Now that wouldn't be so bad except they need me to have a completely open schedule for 90 days. I have a baby, and a husband with a job, that can't happen! So yeah, there went that. But...
I am going to be working as a babysitter for a 10 year old boy named Austin. I should be starting this about next week. He seems like he will be fun! His parents came over and they were super nice. They said he loves dogs, yay for Murphy, he will love baking, and that he is super helpful. Basically sounds perfect. It will help me know what my baby boy will be like when he is older. I am pretty excited, but it should only be a couple hours a day, so not a whole lot more money, but it is money I will be making while being able to be at home with my little man. I am happy about that. Plus Sam can play with him...which I can tell he is a little excited about...
I have also put up an ad offering to bake cakes or desserts for anyone who needs it. I mean I don't want to do wedding cakes or anything but, I bake a lot anyways, so doing it for money only made sense. I want to start it like a small business. I am going to get some business cards and everything...we will see how that goes, updates will come I am sure. Ok so next!

Samantha's Visit:
Samantha came to visit last Friday till yesterday. It was overall very fun. Liem loved it! As you can tell if you watch this video...

So while she was here, we went to Burlington, twice, got our nails done and most importantly went to a Patriots game!! Yay! The first day she was here we took her to Burlington, which was so much fun. I love it there. She also made Liem laugh so much. I think he liked her a lot because she looks like me. Either way, it was so much fun to have her here. We made donuts, and cookies and everything. It went by so fast, and I wish she could have stayed longer. But shes gone and now we won't see her again till Christmas probably! Darn! Here is a pic from the game we went to on Friday.


Turning 3 Months old:
Liem is now a whole quarter of a year old! Yay! He has gotten his first set of shots, started rolling over and playing with his tongue. The biggest thing is that he obviously learned to really laugh. Its by far the greatest thing ever. He is just learning new things everyday. He has also started pinching by grabbing anything and squeezing as hard as he can. It hurts and I have lost lots of hair due to it. Other than that, everyday is a new experience. I have also started breastfeeding exclusively. Which is awesome, because I don't hate it as much anymore.
So in last news...

JENNIFER!!!
So for those of you who don't know, Jennifer, my older sister, is pregnant! Yay! She is due one month before Liem turns 1. It should be so exciting to have another baby in the family! I am so excited that she is pregnant and I can't wait to meet the little one! I mean he or she may not be as cute as Liem, but I am sure they will be cute! I can't wait. Well thats all for now. I will update later!

Oh and by the way my belly buddy/online best friend/Michael's mommy Cerissa got married!! Yay! Congrats to her!

Liem First Birthday Party

So this weekend Liem went to his first birthday party, not like his first birthday but Ethan, Jess's baby, first birthday, but it was Liem first party he has ever been to. He loved the balloons and bright colors, but he really didn't know what was going on. We got to stay the night in Poughkeepsie though, and got to see all of my friends that were at school. Liem also went to the school for the first time. I think that will be the place to go because it is where his father and I met, and it is the whole reason he is here today. The car ride was 4 hours and he slept the whole way. He didn't mind at all.

The weekend before that my parents came and that was fun. We wento Burlington, which is like my favorite place here, and then we went to the Ben and Jerry's factory, which was very disappointing. It was nice to be with my parents for those couple of days. Liem is getting to do a lot of first's though. I can't wait to see him eat ice cream! Well, more will come!
