My Hero

You all know that I have not blogged in a long time. I was trying to decide what I should start with to get back into action. So this is what I decided. Normally when I blog it is all about my kids and how cut they are. I decided that my husbands accomplishment was much more important. He is the rock in this family and if it was not for him coming into my life I don't know where me and Cayla would be. He will probably never see this but that's OK to. Most of you know that Jesse is a Firefighter for the City of San Antonio. He has been there since 2003. He has never tested for promotion because he loved his job just the way it was. He decided that he would try for the first time to take the test. He did study (a little)but thought that it would be OK even if he didn't pass. It would let him know what to expect for next time. But there was not a next time because he passed the first time. So in February 2009 he had his Promotion Ceremony. Ironically that was the same month that he had his Graduation Ceremony in 2003. And the same month we got married. I think that February is just a good month for him. HA HA I'm not going to lie I cried. For many reasons. One being that I was proud of him and knew this would be a change for us all. Knowing he would be leaving the station that we both love and leaving friendships made over the last 6 years. Also it was hard not having his dad there. He was there to pin on his badge when he got in to the department and it hurt me to know that he could not be there for this. Thought it all I knew it was a blessing. God has been good to are family. So now Jesse is a Fire Apparatus Operator FAO in short and I could not be more proud of him. He always puts us first before himself. He is a loving father and husband and I feel blessed to have him in my life.

Madison Homecoming 2008

Cayla had a great time during Homecoming. Lots of different activities. I think she looked beautiful but I am her mom. Thanks Jaime for fixing the dress.

Happy Halloween

It's alway alot of fun to dress up! So here are my babies this year. They are pretty easy to figure out except maybe Cayla & Jordan. We are still not sure! HA HA

Don't Try This At Home

Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest not drama. Can someone explain this to my kids. HA HA Joey decided to tie a rope around the slide and then slide down. From the looks of the picture it turned out to be a not so bright idea! OH WELL BOYS WILL BE BOYS! Thank you God for watching over my babies.

Like Father Like Son!

The other night we were doing our normal routine getting ready to take a bath and Joey looked over and saw his Cowboy Hat sitting there. He said Oh my hat. He put it on like if it was part of his bath time routine. I just died laughing because I have the same picture of his daddy about ten years ago in a Vegas Hotel Room. I always said what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but I just had to share because it was priceless. I did decided not to put up Daddy's picture. I didn't think you guys would want to see my husband half naked. I can't wait to scrap those pictures side by side.

EMILY'S A DOUBLE DIGIT!!!!

Catch up

OK here is a few things that has been happening with us. I thought that I would just do a quick catch up. Here is goes!!!! M & M BOWL Who says that Cheerleaders don't have attitude. At least I have the proof. I can totally see myself in the first picture. Emily had her first Choir concert. It was a Mexican heritage concert if you did not notice the attire. Josh lost his first tooth in two days. He actually did misplaced it at school so we had to write the tooth fairy a note.

Here we come to save the day!

OK I really feel safe knowing I have so many Superheros is the family. Today was Superhero day at school. The kids were so excited. Yes wonder woman is back. But when I wore it, it was a set of underroos and you wore them under your cloths. HA HA Hope everyone is having a great day.

Crazy Dancing

My kids do tend to go crazy when the music come on. Please overlook mommy getting on to them a few times. HA HA If you watch it three times and focus on each one it is Hilarious. One is to cute, the other is dramatic. and the other well he's just a little white boy. HA HA I will let you guys figure that out.

First Day Of School

I can't believe they are all in school. It seems like only yesterday they were babies. I didn't cry too much. I held it together. Joey-Kinder He did great! He has been asking for a week now to go to school. He knew actually where is classroom was. He even remembered that it was room 2. He looked up at the door and held up two fingers and walked on in. I am so glad that he is anxious to learn and have fun. Josh-First We made sure he knew where Joey's class was because he is the big brother. Then we walked to his class. We stopped to say hello to someone, but he kept on walking and by the time we got to the class he had already put up his backpack and sat down to color his first first grade paper. Such a big boy. Emily-Third She is growing so fast. She is such a big girl when we got to the school to wait in line to get name tags. She said mommy do I have to wait. We said no and a big kiss was given and off she went. She has the same teacher as last year ans she is very happy about that. Cayla-Freshman I can't believe I have High Schooler. I am old. She had her hair highlighted yesterday. She looked so grown up. She did a great job getting up and getting herself dressed and all her stuff ready to go. We waited for her friends to call and say that they were on their way to school and off we went. You know you can't go to school by yourself. That would not be cool. My baby is now a young lady.

UCA Cheer Camp 2008

Cayla went to College Station for a Cheer camp for school. Even though we bleed orange we let her go. HA HA to all you aggie fans. We still love you. She was there for 4 days. She had fun but was really tired.

BOYS LIKE GIRLS

I took Cayla, Jordan, and Kayli to the Boys like Girls concert. They had a great time. It was funny to me because I was one of the oldest ones there. That should tell you something. Concerts have not changed much. Still all the girls screaming. It was fun and I enjoyed being there with the girls.

Josh turns 7!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY I can't believe your 7. Time is flying by way to fast. I know every parent says this but I can remember the day you were born. You've changed a lot since then but your still my little baby boy and will always will be.

Space Camp

It was my first event with the girls as my troop. Thanks to Shannon for leading the way. Thank you to the parents that came to help. We had a great time. Emily had a blast.

A Day with Mema

My Mom took us to Green Acres one day on her vacation. We had a blast. Thank You Meme. We played golf which is always fun with little ones. We rode bumper boats that was really awesome. We jumped on this crazy trampoline and I found out that I am not as light or young as I used to be. All my kids were jumping and flipping but I could not even get off the ground and when I did it was really painful. I was sore for two days. We all played arcade games and I think that my mom really enjoyed it. I know we did!! Before we left the kids made a animal land animal.(Same as build a bear but much cheeper) All I can say is THANKS MEMA WE LOVE YOU

GO MAVS GO

Well most of you know that Cayla will be a Freshman Cheerleader for Madison next year. Well we got her uniforms today and I have to say she looks great. It worth every penny and it's a lot of pennies. HA HA $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Christmas in July

Ok I am so excited. We have been wanting a nice swing set for so long, but when we priced them in February I knew the price tag was not in our budget. Well my Granny has a friend that had one and I ask her every year if they want to sell it! So guess what after 5+ years she said yes.(And the price tag was about 90% less) When we got it it was moldy and muddy and a little broken but with lots of power washing and TLC it is beautiful. This is our tire swing and rope bridge Front view of our slide, rock wall, and where swings will be. Full View So When anyone wants to have a play date give me a call. What you can't see is the back there is a curly slide and a fire pole and stairs. This is the coolest thing ever and the kids are already having a great time and can't wait to have all there friends over. I have to say Thank you to God for giving us such a blessing. And to my wonderful Husband and Daddy who has spend many weeks loading, unloading, cleaning, sweating, and who knows what else just to make our children smile. I could not ask for a better man.

2008 Camping Trip

Every year we go on a camping trip this year in June we went to Blanco State Park it was very nice. We got to go swimming, eat watermelon, barbque, sleep in a tent(it wasn't that bad), fishing and ride bikes. We also got to swim with a snake not by choice we noticed him and decide that we should let him have his choice of the water. HA HA It was a nice get away!!!!!!!!!!
