Eating Solid Foods

Well our little dude is now eating almost all solids. He has finally gotten better with the different textures of the foods and does not gag like before. I feel he is almost completely outgrown his dairy problem...thank God.He has a great time playing with his food and sharing with his puppy!!

New Family Truck

We are so thrilled to be the new owners of this beautiful Toyota Sequoia after being in a very small car for over a year with the kiddos I am thrilled to have all this room...yippy! Now the amount I will spend on gas that is a not so happy story..lol. We got a really great deal on the truck..and the kids were really good through the 5 hrs it took for me to get them to the #'s I wanted. They really wanted the deal to happen to.

Family Photos

We had our family pictures taken back in December when hubby was home for a very short 3 weeks. My very good friend of 16 years Tiffani Cisneros took our family pictures. She did a wonderful job and has started up her own photography business in the Corpus Christ area her web site is www.tiffcphotography.com if anyone is every looking to take photos in that area.

Skating Rink

Well as a reward for the kids making straight A's I took them to the Skating Rink on what I thought was Christian music night. However they had not updated there website and once inside we realized it was teen night...oh joy! The music was not what I cared to have the kids subjected too but we stayed and had a good time. Eliana has only been skating like 4 times prior and this was Elias's very 1st time to try and skate. He was a little moody in the beginning because he fell down like 2 times...which I tried to explain was awesome for his 1st time..he did not seem to care..lol. Then a really nice boy working there gave him a pep talk and after that he did great. I really think he only fell like 4 times top the entire night. It was funny to be back at the skating rink on a Friday night that is what I use to do back home every single weekend from the age of 9-13. It really made me realize how fast my life is going by..oh well I just hope we can go more with the kiddos because they had a really great time. We will however need to be sure to bring thicker hig socks for the kids because Elias got a really big blister.

Must be Puppy Love
