Today you are one week old. You've only been with us a short time, but I already couldn't imagine our lives without you. You are such a cuddly baby, and you love to eat! When I took you to your first doctors appointment at five days old, you had already gained the weight you lost in the hospital and passed your birth weight. The point of this post is to document your birth. I want for you to always remember how it is you came into this world, so I am going to write your birth story for you just like I did for your brother. Here it goes:

Goodbye Tonsils and Adenoids
On July 28, Connor had to get his tonsils and adenoids removed. Right before he turned four we noticed that he was snoring really loudly and we would sometimes catch him gasping for air in the middle of the night. We let his physician know at his four year checkup and he recommended we be seen by an ENT once we arrived in Texas. We did just that, and the ENT physician recommended having a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. I wanted for him to have the procedure done before he started pre-k and before his baby sister arrived, so I made the appointment at the earliest available date even though I knew Aaron would be away in San Antonio for school.
We were told to be at the hospital at 6:30 am. {It broke my heart because Connor thought we were going to see his daddy and I had to tell him that wasn't where we were going.} After we checked in, we waited in the waiting area for about two hours before they called us back. Connor didn't have any idea what was going on and didn't ask questions until we went into the pre-op area. I got him dressed in the gown and pants they had laid out for him and explained to him that he was going to go see the doctor without mommy, but I would be there as soon as he got out. He nodded and continued watching the cartoons they had for him on the tv.
Spicer, Minnesota: Summer Vacation Part 3
July 5, 2017
Aaron and I went on a day date that consisted of shopping and lunch at a Chinese restaurant in Willmar. Later that afternoon, we went to Aaron's grandma and grandpas house for dinner. We finished pretty early, so when we got back to the cabin Aaron and I took a boat ride around the lake. We never do things just the two of us, so we really enjoyed it.

I posted the first part of our Minnesota summer vacation yesterday, now today I'll post the second and third part to go with it.

On this day, we went to Aaron's grandparents house for a BBQ around lunch time. It was another perfect day to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather while the food was being prepared. The kids had fun running around the yard

DFW, Texas to Spicer, Minnesota: Summer Vacation Part 1
At the end of June / beginning of July Aaron took a little less than two weeks off work so we could go to Minnesota for his grandparents 60th Anniversary celebration. Being that he missed their 50th, he wasn't going to miss this one. We had so much fun with family and relaxing on the lake. Because we were there for so long, I'm going to separate it into three different blog posts.

When Aaron got off work, which was earlier then we expected, we drove to Pappy's house. As soon as we got there we went swimming until dinner time. For dinner we ate sushi, our favorite! We stayed up really late talking with Chrissy and decided at the last minute that we would try and fly to Minnesota the next day because flights weren't looking great for Friday {life of a standby passenger}.
Hinojosa Family Reunion
Way back on June 24, we went to a family reunion for my dads side of the family. It was so hot, but we had a wonderful time visiting with family we haven't seen in years.
