Finishing up this School Year.

We have been so busy lately and it seems that I haven't been on here in forever. We just finished School Testing (TAKS) so now we have about 4 weeks left of school. Hooray!!! I am getting the feverish feeling of summer around the corner and can't wait to take a break here soon! I have to say 6th grade pre-algebra and geometry really had me going in circles and triangles there for a while =)... probably because it is such a strong point in my carreer. =) I almost had to do Lamaze breathing several times just to get through the lessons! =)

We did have a really fun day at the zoo about 2 weeks ago thou. Eric took the day off and we packed a lunch, some water bottles, the stroller,the back packs, and the baby carrier and spent all day at the zoo. We took our time looking at all the exibits and Eric even treated us to rainbow sherbet ice cream!YUM! YUM!

The day ended up being so beautiful!!! The weather started off chilly and as the day progressed it became warmer but it never got hot. There weren't very many kids from schools that day either. I throughly enjoyed it!

Quote for the week by One Of The Kids!

Lately we've been learning about animals. Elyse pointed this out about Matthew...

" He's NOT an insect... he's a mammal!"

Enough Said

Our 2011 vegetable and strawberry garden =)

I always get confused. Do you plant on the bump or in the channel when you make rows. To say the least we got about half way and had to move the plants to higher ground.

We planted strawberries, tomatillos, tomatoes, jalapenos, serranos, cherry tomatoes, and yellow squash. I hope to add more but, if I don't it's enough to keep the kids busy.

The kids and I had so much fun planting and being resourceful...=) Michael and Cameron made my tomato plant trellises out of our own tree branches. I really liked them.

We have a sidewalk!!!

We have a walkway now and actually there is a flower bed now too.

It has been a lot of fun working on it.

Matthew didn't quite like the feel of that cold cement on his little feet but, that is the price to pay when you have a sentimental mother....=)

Matthew is being so funny!

He was so excited we weren't sure if he was going to cry or laugh!

Changing too fast!!!

This is for you Gramma Ceci!

At your request I have posted more pictures of Matthew.

Matthew is soooo......

Precious.......

Oh, I've said that before! Can't help it thou. Just look at him!

The V's of Texas!

I am so blessed!

Matthew is 3 months!

Time seems to be picking up speed!

Soooo Precious.

The best taken care of baby =)

He smiles so much now. We love him so much.
