"Damn it!"
Had to post this funny conversation I overheard Bella having with Julian. One of the kids favorite things to do is play in Bella's room in the kitchen. Actually, its more like Bella playing in the kitchen bossing Julian around while he sits and puts all her pretend food in his mouth. Anyway, they were playing away when Julian suddenly sneezed. Bella says, and I quote, "Damn it Julian! You sneezed all over my Tinkerbell doll. ughhhh!" I had to laugh, but made sure that Bella did not hear me. I talked to her about not using those words because they are bad words (which she understands). I thought I should blog about it so that she can one day read it and laugh. She makes us laugh every day!

Spring Break 2011
This spring break Eric took the entire week off to be home with us too! It was so nice for all of us to be home and not have a hundred things to do. We started the weekend off by going to Tucson to visit family. We went to Tommy and Becky's and met with my Tia Cristina and cousin Sabrina and her little ones. Bella had a great time playing with Giovanni. Becky made the yummiest dinner. It was a great visit.
Sunday, we went to the Cox family's house for an outdoor fish and chips fry. It was sooo yummy!
Monday, I saw a private kiddo and came home to hang out with the family. Tuesday, Bella and I went to the library to get some Children's museum tickets,and to go to story time. She LOVED it! The teacher does music, dancing, and reads a few stories. It was very cute and reassured my thoughts of getting her in to a preschool setting ASAP. Later that afternoon we went with Nino to the park we are thinking about having Bella's birthday party at. It was so beautiful out and a perfect day to go to the park. I sat with Julian in the grass and got some sun, while Bella ran around with Nino and Daddy.
Wednesday morning the 4 of us went hiking. It was so fun! Eric carried Julian in the baby Bjorn so he got quite the workout. We then came home and got dressed for the museum. The museum is downtown and has many awesome things for the kids to do. There is a giant play area, a pretend grocery store, a pretend kitchen complete with a woodfire pizza oven, many different hands on activities, an art room that has many art projects and painting, etc. Bella was in rare form that day. She was very moody and so we had to cut the trip shorter than we would've liked, but she still had fun. We definitely want to go again very soon.
Thursday, we spent the day at home which was nice. Eric was kind enough to take Isabella to the park for 2 hours while Julian slept so I could relax.
Friday, we watched the u of a game and then went to Grandpa and Grandma Hoover's house. We had dinner with them and just hung out. It was a lot of fun. The kids were wiped by the end of the day.
Saturday, Eric went to a spring training game w/ Steve and our future brother in law Gabe. I took the kids to meet some of my favorite girls for lunch. We then went shopping for Julian's baptism suit.
Sunday, we had breakfast at Uncle Chris's, who is in the navy and visiting home.We went to his house with the Tortora family. Bella and Guiliana played and had a great time.
We had a great week and am so thankful to get time to spend with the 3 people who I love most.

Catching up
I have not blogged for a long time as things have been super crazy around the Hoover home. Bella had her very first tummy virus :( It was the most painful experience watching her be so miserable. Then Julian got a bug, so Eric and I had to take turns being home with the kiddos. Eric has also been closing the store a lot, so we have all not got to spend very much time together. However that ends next week because we are all on spring break!!
Anyway, in the past month we have had another best pal born. The Cox's welcomed baby Carina on February 5th. She is adorable and I am so glad that are neighbors so that we can spend as much time together as possible. The following weekend was Eric's 35th birthday. We had a poker party at our home with family and friends, and Eric had a lot of fun!
Our boy Julian is crawling everywhere and in to EVERYTHING! He opens cabinets and pulls things off of shelves. He is all BOY! He is still army crawling, rather than the traditional crawl, however he is very mobile. He is now eating some finger foods and some protein. He pretty much eats whatever I put in front of him. He is eating all kinds of finger foods including: bananas, cereal, blueberries, pineapple, etc. He likes to eat, that's for sure! He is understanding more and more words and loves to make many vocal sounds. He shakes his head when you say "no,no" and will shake his head if he doesn't want something. He is still a fabulous sleeper, I keep thinking he has to wake up in the middle of the night at some point, but nope he never has. He loves his sleep and we love that he loves his sleep. We put him down awake and he falls asleep all on his own. He is such a great baby! He is so different than Bella was at this age, it is amazing. He loves to crawl over to the entertainment center and try and take all the movies out. He also tries to pull the speaker wires, or anything with wires. We definitely have to keep a very close eye on him at all times. Bella liked to sit and look at books and puzzles, he likes to pull things and throw things. Ahhhh gotta love boys :)
