<div style="text-align: center;">
Josie's birthday brunch was a success! This year I had a difficult time planning Josie's birthday party. I felt like she was to young for most of the ideas I had. So after searching pinterest I decided we should do a waffle bar. Waffles are her favorite thing to eat. I got my inspiration from <a href="http://veronicayem.wordpress.com/2012/08/13/welcome-to-the-waffle-bar/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

Being the cheap person that I am I decided to make my own decorations. Remember <a href="http://riosfamilyinc.blogspot.com/2012/11/window-pane-project.html" target="_blank">this</a> window project? I had to write a little something on it in honor of our birthday girl.</div>

Wow, the past two years have sure flown by. This little girl has taught
be so much. How to love, laugh, cry. She always keeps me on my toes.
Her favorite word is "NO" said with attitude. She reminds me so much
of myself that it scares me. But then when she runs to me with open
arms or makes smooching sounds so I will come give her a kiss, I realize
she has me wrapped around her finger. <br />

Last month I noticed that one of our neighbors whom I had never met before was getting new windows. As I saw the contractor take the old windows out I found myself wondering what they would be doing with them. So I called the company and learned that they have to destroy them if the owner doesn't want them. The thought of those beautiful windows going to waste broke my heart. So I contacted the neighbor, who was thrilled to find out that I wanted to reuse her windows, and got these six beautiful windows. </div>

I have been wanting some old windows for a few projects that I have had tucked away in the back of my mind. So these beauties were going to be perfect. I knew right away that I wanted to use of the panel windows and one solid window as chalk boards so I went to Lowes to pick up some paint. While I was there, I decided that it would be neat to color the chalkboard paint to have it match the rest of our house. So instead of buying the chalkboard paint I picked up some grout and a paint sample.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />I got home taped off the windows, mixed 2 TBS grout with 1/2 cup paint and started painting (I ended up needing a full cup of paint). It took a few coats to fully cover the windows so in the mean time I jammed out to Michael Buble. Then I let the windows dry over night.<br /></div>

When I woke up the next day, I realized that the paint color I had chosen was brighter than I had expected. But once I added white chalk to the board the color was toned down, making it the perfect shade of gray/blue.</div>

I plan on using the panel window as my weekly planner, I will most likely write our meal plan on it. The other full panel window I plan on using for FHE. We are going to pick out a weekly inspirational theme and write it on the window to help us remember it throughout the week. I love how the windows turned out. Now I just have to decide where to hang them. Stay tuned for my next project. I will be recycling some picture frames for our play room.</div>

I know I haven't been on here lately so I promise to catch up. I have started back to school and that takes most of my free time but I wanted to share our Halloween.<br />
This year my dreams finally came true! I have always wanted our family to dress up as color crayons. Though Zech wasn't keen on the idea, he knew it would make me happy so he joined in.<br />

Zech strutted his stuff on the cat walk and our family got all 10s!!! After the party we took the kids home for a nap before going to our ward's trunk or treat. Again there was food, games, and or course trunk or treating.<br />

This morning I had my first weigh in and I am down six pounds! I can't believe I lost six pounds in one week. And I feel amazing. I did run into a bit of an issue this week. After three full days on the program I started to loose my milk. Apparently I wasn't taking in enough calories. I have revamped my plan, I got a blessing and guess what!?! My milk is back! Though I lost the majority of this weeks weight before I revamped my plan I still did loose some after. And after thinking and praying about it, I decided I would rather loose less weight then have to stop nursing my little man. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am starting week two! I am so excited and can't wait to see what the scale says next Monday. This week is going to be hectic so I will be prepping most of the food I will eat today and tomorrow. Wish me luck!</div>

Some of you may not know this about me but for some time I have been struggling with the way I feel about myself. This mostly has to do with my weight. You see growing up I never had to worry about my weight. In fact I had a pretty bad attitude towards people who complained about being over weight. I could eat whatever I wanted. It wasn't until I had Elai that I realized I had to really work to loose weight and keep it off. However that didn't happen, the keeping it off part. Next thing I knew here was Josie and another 20lbs. Well I got motivated after having Josie and lost the weight very quickly. But only to gain it back, plus some. It embarrasses me to say that when I found out I was pregnant with Miles, I actually weighed more then when I had Josie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As my pregnancy was nearing an end, I knew I needed to do something about my weight. Not only was I sickened by how heavy I am but also about how I felt as a whole. My knees hurt if I walked to long, I ran out of breathe quickly and don't even get me started on my failed hiking attempt. So here I was pondering what I could do to not only loose weight but to get healthy. Well I figured it out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday was a very exciting day for me, I started the <a href="http://www.doortohealth.tsfl.com/">Take Shape For Life</a> program. It is a weight loss program that not only helps you loose weight but also teaches you to live a healthier life style. They have a special program for nursing moms so I was able to start right away. The best part about this program is that you get a free life coach. Even better is that my life coach is one of my very best friends. I am super excited to start this journey especially since I have the support of my dear friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently I am on day two and I feel great. I have been eating properly and I can definitely tell a difference already. I don't feel as weighted down by the food that I eat. Though I don't love all the food, I don't hate it either. I just had to learn to think out side of the box when meal planning for the week. I am so excited and can't wait for my weigh in next Monday.</div>

On July 18th Zech and I welcomed our baby boy Miles into this world. While Zech wasn't able to make his arrival he was there via Skype. So on that note, here is Miles' birth story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went into the doctor's office on the 17th for my daily, yes at that point I was going in every day, non stress test. I was having to go in daily because Miles' heart rate at that point was very inconsistent. One moment he had a heart rate of 100 and the next thing we knew it was over 200 bpm. My midwife had decided that due to the inconsistency of his heart rate if he wasn't born within a few days I would have to be induced. So anyway...that particular day, I went into the doctor first thing in the morning for my check up and everything seemed to be okay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIURnUvj6mSrZKzQqrhel-oYtZfIUcOSJWcfUw-pIvU0Ke3Rs2tjv1ra-tShcOuUhCcEHoy8jnWVjZNOCinjkRYdRE8EJISvAuIIteFa0kHO7GFR2vjY2v59U_t9BD5b1X4Fln5snD7GY3/s1600/IMG_1445.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIURnUvj6mSrZKzQqrhel-oYtZfIUcOSJWcfUw-pIvU0Ke3Rs2tjv1ra-tShcOuUhCcEHoy8jnWVjZNOCinjkRYdRE8EJISvAuIIteFa0kHO7GFR2vjY2v59U_t9BD5b1X4Fln5snD7GY3/s320/IMG_1445.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But later that day I was feeling horribly nauseous. At about 2pm I called my midwife's office to see if I might be able to get something to settle this feeling. They asked me to come back in for a repeat NST and an ultrasound. Then if everything checked out right, they would give me a shot. So I went back in. During the ultrasound the tech discovered that my amniotic fluid levels were low. So after speaking with the midwife she expressed concern and decided that I needed to go to the hospital to be induced right away. </div>

So off to the hospital I went. The nurse started the pitocin right away around 5pm but the my midwife decided that with a low fluid level she wanted to wait to break my water until I had progressed. I was already dilating but I wasn't having regular contractions. As the time progressed on I was starting to think Zech wasn't going to be able to see the birth via Skype. He had to be back in the field for training at 4am and it was now approaching 2 am and I still wasn't having regular contractions. I would have about 5 contractions in a row 2 mins apart but then I wouldn't have another one for about 10 mins. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
That's when the midwife came in and decided to break my water. And my contractions quickly became regular. I had decided early on in my pregnancy that I wouldn't have an epidural. And up until the point of having my water broke I hadn't felt like I needed any sort of pain medication. I was definitely feeling contractions, but nothing that was unbearable. After having my water broke though, that was a different story. I started to wonder what I was thinking. The contractions were very strong and very painful. But I stuck it out and with Donna's help was able to breath through them. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It didn't take long before I felt the urge to push. The nurse checked me and said I was still at 6cm. A few contractions went by and I told her I really needed to push. All the while Zech was with us on Skype encouraging me, I however couldn't respond to him. So the nurse checked me again. I was at 8cm. She decided that she would let me push down to 10cm. So the nurse left the room to call the my midwife. I remember her telling me not to push until she got back.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But with the next contraction, I really felt like I needed to push and I told Donna so. She said, just push. So I did. Next thing you know Mile's head was out. Donna ran out in the hall way to yell for help. I could here her yelling "the baby's head is out."</div>

And just as a couple of nurses entered the room, the baby's feet were coming out. I had delivered him in the bed with no help from any hospital staff. I was a little shocked so I didn't try and pick him up or anything. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow, we are getting so close to Zech's arrival. I guess you could say I am more then a little excited. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Excited to see my hubby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Excited to meet my baby boy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Excited for life to go back to "normal."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have been busy here at home which makes Zech's training seem to go by fast. I have been unpacking and setting up every room, I mean all of them. Since Zech has to go back to school only two weeks after he gets home I decided that I didn't want to waste our time together unpacking. So Lisa and I have tackled just about every project with the exception of hanging pictures. I have never been good at that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I attended church by myself. The kids have a little bit of a stomach bug so they stayed home with Lisa while I attended then she went in the afternoon to the singles branch. I'm pretty sure I have the pitty of everyone in our ward. Everyone is so friendly and tries to help me even when I don't need the help. I have recently been called to the primary which is exciting. I have never been in the primary or attended primary so this should be an exciting experience. Yesterday was my first week and I love the kids already. I can't wait until next year when Elai gets to be a sunbeam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides that I thought it would be fun to once again see just how frugal we could be. Yes, I am on another kick. With a new baby on his way and moving to a new house we did have to buy a few things. But besides that I am on a spending slash. I do this about once a year. I think it's fun to see just how much money we can save or how much debt we can payoff. In our new stake one of the goals each stake conference is to save one months worth of debts or to pay an additional month of debt each six months. This excited me and well I am back in the game and have been able to save another full month's worth of our debts. This may not seem like a big deal to everyone but those of us that live on a student's budget understand how exciting this is for us. The best part, Zech doesn't know yet. He will be thrilled when he gets home and finds out. I'm actually starting to wonder if he thinks I am on a spending craze while he is gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another fun fact! Donna Rios is coming tomorrow! Yay, we can't wait for grandma to get here. I will be picking her up from Chicago tomorrow night. She will be staying with us until the first week of August when the rest of the Rios clan will be joining us for our baby's blessing. Elai is counting "sleeps" until she gets here. Only one more to go! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the countdown continues and each day we get closer to Zech's return, the more excited we get. Elai is telling everyone that his daddy is "at the army." He also recently told me he wants to be a military officer just like his daddy. He sure makes me heart melt. </div>riosfamilyinchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437909998726298713noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705475904362451406.post-21980894717849539342012-06-28T20:19:00.002-07:002012-06-28T20:19:54.203-07:00Day 18: Fun in the Sun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday the temperature was a nice 80 degrees. Knowing that the rest of this week is supposed to be above 100, I decided to take advantage of the cool weather and we spent the evening outside having a picnic and playing in the sprinkler. Here are the photos for your enjoyment. </div>

The purpose of going to the mall was that my feet are so swollen I can't seem to wear any of my shoes. Not even one pair! Apparently your feet swell a lot more when your pregnant in the summer. Or that at least seems to be my case. Probably from all the water I have been drinking. With that being said, this next photo is what happens when you let a pregnant women with swollen feet go shoe shopping. </div>

So that was the end of day 14. Today we had church. Lisa slept in and went to the YSA branch so it was just the kiddos and I. Today was the best Sunday thus far. Josie decided to give her mom a break and slept all through sacrament. Other then that nothing exciting happened. Just the usual, Sunday nap, dinner, and playing with the kids. </div>

Well we are officially only five weeks away from what will be the homecoming of the year. With that being said, I should also mention that I am only five weeks away from welcoming our new baby boy. This last week has been so crazy. I am finally nesting which basically means I have been in panic mode because I didn't know where any of our baby boy stuff was. However I have gotten things under control thanks a bunch to Lisa for helping me and our nursery is just about put together. I do need to purchase a few things, but I'm thinking that might just wait until after he gets here. I'm not too worried about it for now. I also have been busy trying to unpack the playroom/family room and I finished up Josie's and Elai's bedroom. Wow, just typing this makes me tired. Besides all this what have we been up to? Well I am trying to fill our freezer for when the baby arrives and we have been spending time at the YMCA. I am really enjoying Rockford and tonight we are having a special guest from Urbana. We are lucky enough to be able to talk to Zech every night and we can even skype him! This day has went by fast and I am looking forward to crossing it off the calendar. </div>riosfamilyinchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437909998726298713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705475904362451406.post-11390044575668409202012-06-11T17:47:00.002-07:002012-06-11T17:47:41.492-07:00Day 2: stocking upWhat a productive day we had. We started the day by driving a hour to go to Costco and Trader Joe's. That's right, I live that close to Trader Joe's. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. So we woke up, ate breakfast and off we went. Now normally I do not take the kids grocery shopping with me when I need to do a stock up but well Zech is gone so I had no choice. Luckily I did have Lisa. She is so good to me. She entertained the kids while we were in the stores. I hadn't told her we were doing a huge stock up so I had to chuckle when she made the following statement, "Emiley, why are we buying so much food? Your going to make us fat." Oh how I love that girl. While at the store I got a little too excited about the melons. They just looked so good, I bought six. Then it was time to head back home. Boy did I miss having Zechary home to unload the car. Lisa and I managed though. I think her arms are made of steel.<br />

After putting the groceries away it was time for a rest.
Normally after I go shopping I can hardly move because I am so tired. This was not the case today. I could not sleep! I had entirely way to much energy and all I could think about was how I needed to unpack the babies room. So I did just that, well I started at least. It's still a work in progress. I guess you could say I am nesting. I had such a good time pulling out Elai's old clothes and recalling all of our sweet memories. I can't wait for our new baby boy to wear them. There is still a lot to do in that room but I will get it done eventually, I'm not in to big of a hurry. So that was our day, once again we survived another day. Looking forward to tomorrow and crossing off another day. <br />

About half way through sacrament I couldn't help but wonder why I even went. At least if I were at home the kids would play with their toys and stay out of trouble. At least they wouldn't be running around screaming. I know people were staring at me but I was to tired to even care. I finally found a little room that we had to ourselves and we just played in there until sacrament was over. I think the primary president felt sorry for me because she let me drop off Josie at the nursery. It wasn't her first time attending. Zech was a nursery leader in our old ward so she would go in with him. I sure was grateful they allowed her to go though. It was nice to be able to attend the rest of my classes childless. Next week is stake conference, not sure how well that is going to go.<br />
<br />
After church I did hear from my Zechary, so that turned my day around. He is an officer so they aren't taking his cell phone or lap top away. I will get to talk with him every night after six pm. With that being said, if you call me at 6:15 and I don't answer, do not call me again. I will most likely be on the phone with the love of my life and your call can wait until I am done. Anyway... Zechary made it and is all checked in. He seems to think he is going to loose a lot of weight because it's so hot there. He likes it and is dreaming of doing his residency there already. All it took was seeing a palm tree. <br />
<br />
Day one is almost gone and we have survived. I will admit I was a little worried. I kept thinking how am I supposed to take care of everyone when I am so tired that I can hardly take care of myself. But luckily I have Lisa here and the kids love her. Maybe even a little to much! I am looking forward to crossing this day off my calendar!riosfamilyinchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437909998726298713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705475904362451406.post-62433355634698679112012-06-09T18:55:00.001-07:002012-06-09T18:55:25.974-07:00Missing HimIt is the night before Zech leaves for his army officer training. We will wake early tomorrow to go drop him off on a shuttle that will take him to the airport, then he will go on to San Antonio, Texas. So many thoughts are going through my head right now. How am I supposed to make it 6 weeks and 2 days without him? Without my rock? As I am sitting here typing this I can here him on the baby monitor with Elai. They are down stairs reading Book of Mormon stories. Elai is laughing up a storm. All day long Elai has been saying "daddy don't go." And of course it breaks my heart. Even though the thought of him leaving terrifies me, I feel blessed to have such a wonderful husband. One who takes such great care of our family. So the count down to his home coming is on. We will definitely experience hard times without him but I know it will just bring us closer together in the end.riosfamilyinchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437909998726298713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705475904362451406.post-35300567953633191452012-04-27T07:28:00.000-07:002012-04-27T07:28:24.244-07:00{Taking things in}<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with everything going on in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During these times, I have experienced more joy then I thought was possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything seems to be winding down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finals are coming up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We move in less then a month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zech is getting everything ready for his training this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids are growing up WAY to fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all caught the flu.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I became an independent beauty consultant for Mary Kay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With everything going on I have decided to take a step back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To examine what is most important in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been spending all my free time away from the computer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That way I can take in all the wonderful little moments everyday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I have been blessed from doing this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been able to really see a difference in my children. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there it is, the reason I haven't been online lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry, but I don't foresee it changing anytime soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time...</div>riosfamilyinchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12437909998726298713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705475904362451406.post-58783594286484492022012-04-06T05:00:00.000-07:002012-04-06T05:00:02.097-07:00{Surprising Daddy}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Elai loved that he got to see his daddy during the middle of the day and Josie really enjoyed crawling around in the grass. I wish we could just bottle up these days and make them last forever.
