Mod Podge Blocks!

I found this really easy DIY Baby Wooden Blocks on the Martha Stewart website http://www.marthastewart.com/article/baby-wooden-blocks and decided to give it a try myself for my Mykayla. It was very easy to do and I used a glue called Mod Podge. It is awesome and works for everything! I just cut out the letters of her name and then her birthday along with some stars, flowers, and moons. I think I will try my twins names next!

Family Photos with http://englexasphotography.com/blog/

We have finally gotten up the courage to get family photos done and we are so glad we did! We have found a photographer named Debbie Mayes of Englexas Photography. She is such a wonderful photographer! She is only 24 and is better than every other photographer that I have ever looked up. The boys, who never take to anyone, EVER, went right up to her. She had them laughing and playing and running around as if they had known her and had seen her everyday before. I cannot praise Debbie enough for such beautiful pictures, and this is only our sneek peek. If you are looking for a photographer, she is the one you need to use. Here is a link to her blog so that you can see just how good she is and a larger picture of ours.

First Day of Preschool!

So Jason and I decided that the boys needed a little more interaction with other children their age and have choosen to put them in a two day a week preschool. Very sad indeed because this means my boys are no longer babies. What happened to my little baby boys? They are growing up a little too fast. To my joy they did not want to be left in the class room and kept calling out to MaMa. Yeah!!! They are still my babies!! Each day has been a little different though. The first day they did not cry till I got them in the room and now all I have to do is pull up and they know where we are and are screaming no. But they will eventually not even know I'm gone.

San Antonio Trip

So Jason and I decided to go to San Antonio for a late anniversary getaway, but Little Miss had to come along. The boys got to hang out with our friends Sheena and Jullian for a few days while we toured San Antonio. It was all our first time being there and quite an experience. We stayed at the Inn on the Riverwalk, which was a very nice bed and breakfast. Miss Mykayla modeled our bed for us and isn't it so cozy looking?

We decided to try out the zoo before we went to dinner and man it was so hot! I think we spent more time trying to hide from the sun than looking at the animals! The indoor aquarium was nice and cool though!

Next up was dinner at a place called Boudros and it was on the Riverwalk. The food and service was so great and such a change from all the other places we've ever eatin at. If you go to San Antonio you have to eat here and you have to have their strawberry mojito! Little Miss Mykayla got to show off her new hair bow and I must say she looked very "Couture"! LOL

The next day we went walking down the riverwalk and tried out the mall since it was much cooler in there. We decided to get Mykayla's ears pierced and I must say that she was a trooper. Doesn't she look so cute!

We finally got someone to take a picture of the two of us while Mykayla was asleep in the stroller!

At lunch Miss Mykayla decided to be funny stick her tongue out at us, I got it on camera along with a few others that day.

All in all the trip was great and we managed to beat the rain clouds that were rolling in as we left. I can't wait for our next trip and to be able to take my crazy boys along with!

Catch Up...

Man, I started doing this blog with the intentions of keeping up w/it but I haven't done such a great job. Well... I'm going to try it again. LOL! I totally missed 4th of July on here but am still putting up the pictures because I spent so much time making Miss Mykayla's Tutu & Hair Bow!

This was the only picture I could get of all the kids together. I swear, the boys have ants in their pants because they can never sit still!!!!

I've had some other pretty exciting things going on. My friend Sheena just got back from something called OCS, might be OTS, LOL! She is in the Marines and did this six week boot camp type thing and just graduated. It's to become an officer. I would have so quit the first night! But 6 weeks? Props to you girl!

The boys are waiting for their big boy beds so I can't wait to put those in and then redecorate their room now! But, I've managed to get about 90% done with Miss Mykayla's room and am proud to put up the pictures. It's so pink!!

Jason took the boys to a baseball game all by himself and I was very proud of all my men!

My niece Miss Kinsley had her first birthday and what a birthday it was! She was so pretty in her outfit and got lots of presents!

She went also just this past weekend went to Kemah for the first time with Mommy and Daddy and they got some great photos of her. She is such a big girl now!

Water Weekend!

The boys had such an eventful weekend! They had a playdate with their good buddy Jackson and got to play in the backyard with the pool and water table.

We found two new pool boys and furniture movers too! LOL!

Poor Jackson filled his diaper and got hosed off by his momma Lauren and then decided he liked his birthday suit the best!

I finally got some really good shots of Avery, who I can never get to stand still and even Mykayla was hanging outside with us.

Tobi decided too that he liked swimming after all!

Thanks to Jackson I finally got my boys in their pool. Way to go Jackson!

Then on Sunday we tooked the munchkins to the pool. They got to try out their new floats, but it took us FOREVER to get them in the pool. Once we did they were good to go.

Then it was time for me and Miss Mykayla to try the pool. She was great, as long as I held her very close, but once she was used to the water she was relaxing just like the boys.

She's gotta get her tan too guys! Just kidding, she was in the shade and lathered with sunscreen!

Jason took Avery and Mykayla home early and me and Mr. Tristan played around a little more. I have to get him floaties because that little one wanted nothing to do with me holding him. Which is great because I don't want them afraid of the water. We'll work on Avery little by little. I can't wait till this Thursday! The boys and I along with our neighbor Sheena and her two little ones are headed to the Children's Museum of Houston.
