Pictures of Boys

Ok, so I decided to take some pictures of the boys today....the main reason was that I needed a picture of them two together for the birthday invitation.  Garrett's birthday is August 16th, but we are getting one of those waterslides and they are kind of pricey, so my mom suggested that if we combine the two birthday's it would be ok.  Now Garrison does not turn 4 until December but we couldn't spend that kind of money right before Christmas, and he couldn't have a waterslide, so here we go combined Birthday party.  Anyway, they really made me work to get these pictures....well not Garrett of course, but Garrison.  I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves!!!

Not bad!  Kind of Sweet!

This one is just a teaser! I actually used this one for the invitation!

I love this picture!

Did I lie???

Do you see the rock?....He is supposed to be sitting on it!

I really can't believe he's almost 9!!

I try to be good....but I am soooo not!!!

My brother drives me crazy!!

Here we go!

Hope you enjoy!!!

Eclipse Anyone???

Seriously....who couldn't get hooked on this???  I finally got to go see "the" movie with my good friend Kara and I loved it!!!  I mean really what is not to love about these books/movies.  You have your wonderful love story....well love triangle here, you have fighting, vampires, wolves oh my!!  My darling husband thinks that I am totally crazy and he makes fun of me every chance that he can, and the sad thing is....I don't even care.  I really knew that I was a little obsessed when Kara leaned over during the movie and said "which wolf is Jacob?" and I didn't even blink or hesitate or anything I was like oh he's the red one...just so matter of fact!!!!  Seriously we both looked at each other and I was dying laughing!!!  Thanks Kara for going to see this great, awesome movie with me!!!  I totally can't wait for Breaking Dawn to come out!  I don't know what to do with myself since I have read all of the books....maybe read them again:)

Just a Day at the Pool!

So, I don't know why we did not join the YMCA sooner?  They have so many programs to offer for the kids and not to mention the pool and the spray park are awesome!  I mean we have been going to the city pool this summer (when it wasn't raining), but the Y is really a nice place!  Anyway, we went last week and joined and today was the first day we used the pool and the kids had a blast!

They did not want to take this picture!! Do you see the cheesy smiles????

Did I mention the fact that I take them to the pool to get them tired!!!!  My little friend Garrison, he does not like to go to sleep very early, so I figure if I wear him out.....maybe he will sleep.  Although sometimes it does not work for me.  He will fall asleep in the car...and he is up till midnight!  AHHHH!!

Garrett

Garrison

I hope you have a Happy Saturday!  Summer is coming to an end very quickly!!!!  I can't believe I go back to work on August 13th!  We need to savor these moments they will be gone all too soon!

Twilight Obsessed? Who Me??

I honestly can't believe it...me...obsessed!  But it is true, I mean I haven't gone out and bought a T-shirt or anything (although, they do have some cute ones out there), I LOVE TWILIGHT!!!  Really, it started about 3 weeks ago....I happened to see it on TV, so I said let me see what this is really all about and Seriously....I couldn't believe that I did not get in on all of the fun sooner!  So I went out the very next day and bought the Eclipse book, since the movie was about to come out and I said I am going to read this book!  Now, I know I am a Kindergarten teacher and I preach you need to read, read, read, but let me tell you I don't really read!!  I mean I flip through People, or OK Magazine to see what's up with Sandra Bullock or whatever, but to read a whole book, give me a break.  Now, if you haven't looked through the book Eclipse let me tell you it has 620 pages!  Well, once I got started, I couldn't stop!  I read the book in 2 days!!!  So then I proceed to get the 4th book Breaking Dawn....Seriously, I didn't know it could get any better....754 pages!  So I am hooked here and sad that this was the last book and even though I had already seen Twilight and New Moon I decided to read them!  I just finished Twilight and I am about to start New Moon!  I really don't know what it is about them that got me hooked, but I am!  I am guessing it's pretty bad when your 8 year old says " Mom, are you like obsessed with Twilight or something?" and I can tell you all about Vampires and Werewolves.....oh my!

Bye, Bye Suckie!

Well, that is what we here at the Munoz house call my little darling's pacifier!  And my goodness have we struggled with trying to get that nasty thing out of his mouth!  He loves that thing almost as much as he loves getting into trouble!   We had no trouble getting Garrison off the bottle, just took it away from him, no biggie, but this suckie.....well that has been a struggle....but I am proud to report that we are officially off the suckie!  He has not had it in 3 whole days, and has not asked for it in 3 whole days!!!!!  We are all so excited and they are all in the trash!  I just wanted to post a little picture to remember the last "suckie"!

Practicing with Pictures!

Garrett who hates to take pictures!

Garrison who only looks sweet and innocent!

Just love this picture!

This is usually Garrison hot, sweaty and not where he is supposed to be!

I think I've got the hang of the picture thing now!  These are some of the pictures from that garden that was next to the restaurant that we ate in Needville!  It was a perfect place to take pictures!

My Very First Post

So I finally got this Blog up and going and this is it!!! Woo Hoo!  I want to personally thank Kara Prater for getting me going on this!  She really got me hooked, I just loved reading about her precious family and everything they did and so I....got hooked!  And here I am!  This is really going to be great, once I figure out how to like get pictures and stuff put in here, but hopefully that will come!

We had a fantastic Fourth of July!  We just decided to get in the car and start driving!  Tom and I were really having a great time enjoying talking to each other and the scenery, the boys on the other hand thought that we should already be at the place we were eating "by now" and they got a little fidgety!  We ending up driving to Needville and eating in this restaurant called The Jay Cafe!  It was wonderful!  The food was great, the service was wonderful, and they had cinnamon rolls the size of a plate!  And right next door they had the most beautiful garden area where we went and took pictures.  I will put some up, when I figure out how!  Our Church had fireworks that evening and the kids had a blast!  Tom and I did too!
