We had fun taking pictures of the kiddos being silly this weekend...enjoy!

Good Times...

This past weekend was very busy! Friday night J and I went out on the town with some friends. We ate at a mexican place dowtown called Cantina Laredo, if you have never been you must go!!! They make guacamole at your table. I have never liked guacamole but I do now ;-). Saturday morning the guys went on a bike ride and the girls came over to the house and we cooked up a big breakfast for them to eat when they got back. We had pancakes, eggs (lots of them), bacon, sausage, and tortillas. It was good stuff! Saturday night our neighbors came over for some food and fun! T and his friend PJ have the best time together...they are such boys. They played cars, trucks, and puzzles. J made the best burgers, thanks J! Sunday brought on a lazy day since our weekend had been so busy so far. We did manage to make it to some yummy mexican food at our local spot Mesa Rosa, yummy eats! J likes the margaritas!!! We always get to go buy a movie or two at Best Buy after our trips to the Mesa Rosa ;-). So once again another great weekend. We will have lots to tell about after this coming weekend J, my sister, and our friend Brian are doing a Triathlon and we are going to Sea World.

Daddy...anyone??

The kiddos and I went to lunch today a few friends of mine. Of course we went to Chuys!! I love that place, it's yummy food and kid friendly. We were sitting around eating our chips and dip dip, as A likes to call it, and I hear A start calling daddy. I looked around and noticed she was calling the man behind us "daddy". At first I looked at her and thought she was crazy, I told her "That is not daddy". When I took a closer look I realized why she thought it was...the man had on a polo shirt like daddy wears, a computer opened on the table, and a little spike in his hair. She could only see his back side so I would hope if she saw the man's face she wouldn't have been calling him daddy. Time passed we ate our food and she did it again! Not only did she call the man daddy, but she was reaching out for him. The man finally turned around and laughed out loud saying it's okay I have a one year old and when she was calling daddy I had to look around to see if it was her. So I guess there are "daddy" look alikes out there and A will call them out ;-).

A trip to Nana and Poppy's...

We made it back safely from a visit with Nana and Poppy. We were there for 3 days and we managed to keep busy the whole time. I took the kiddos to visit a friend I haven't seen in years. It was so nice to catch up with her. She too has a little one and another one on the way so T and A were able to play while Heidi and I had a chance to talk. I think it's funny that we are "much" older now but I still feel we look the same, just older. We went to a Mexican food place called Aldaco's. It was so nice, it was up on a hill and overlooked a lot of the city...very nice! On Saturday we went SHOPPING!!! We went to the shops at LaCantera, if you haven't been there you need to! I would like to go back without the kiddos and do some serious shopping ;-). The kiddos enjoyed the trip there because Nana and Poppy took them to Build A Bear. They each built a bear and dressed it up. T made a brown bear and dressed him as Batman and A made a puppy and dressed her in a denim mini skirt and a pink top...oh did I mention these bears also have pajamas? So at night, as if we needed anything else to do at night, we change the bears into their pajamas after we get changed into ours ;-). While we were there I had my sister and I drive down our old street and we stopped at our old neighbors house and visited for a while. It too made me feel old because I saw one of their two boys, whom I used to babysit and have known since he was 9 months old, he is now 20! Did I mention I feel old? It was a nice visit and a nice stroll down memory lane...We were happy to get back to daddy whom we left here for a "Guys Weekend". Hope you all had a great weekend as well.

Fun with mom

Okay so let's catch you up with what we have been up to...I am off work in the summer and hanging out with the littlest of the family, T and A. We fill our days with spending all of our money, napping, a little learning here and there (thank you PBS), and cooking dinner. HAHA! Just kidding...well about some of it. We are having a great time, I really enjoy being home with them. A is almost 19 months and T is 3 1/2 now and we can do a lot more than we could last summer. We are working on getting T to write his name and A to use english instead of babynese. I think we finally transitioned her from saying "agua" to saying "wawa" for water now. A and T are having fun together making things out of play-do and coloring in their coloring books. I have to say I think A has more fun trying to taste the play-do than playing with it.
We have had a busy travel summer so far too. We started off at the end of May with a magical trip to Disney World. We all felt like kids again and to watch T and A faces light up when we got there was all worth it. Did I mention when we got there we traveled to Titusville, Florida to watch the space shuttle Discovery launch...and did I mention Buzz Lightyear was in the shuttle? T was in heaven!!! At the end of June we traveled to Lubbock to watch daddy in his 2nd Half Ironman. He did a great job, we are very proud of him! Then Grandma and Bonka came back with us and stayed for a nice visit. We are headed to visit Nana, Poppy, and Aunt Mimi. We are keeping busy and loving every minute of it.

Welcome!

I am jumping on the bandwagon...seems everyone's family has a blog these days so here we are. I tried one of these a few years ago and well didn't keep up with it very well, so let's try again.
