movie in the park

This weekend we had a chance to go to a movie in the park that Time Warner Cable was hosting. G and volunteered to help out through work. The weather was pretty pleasant with a nice breeze. We set up a blanket in the park and got to enjoy eachother company. Maggie had such a good time eating popcorn, snocones, and playing with hulahoops. There was also "The Magical Grandpa" who made balloon animals for the kids- maggies didnt last very long, it blew away and popped!!! We were there for several hours, so she didnt quite make it through the whole movie, but we all had a good time! We look forward to the next one and hope some of our friends can join us!!

Temple Trip

April 25th, Gerson and I were able to go to the Dallas Temple and be sealed together as a family for all time and eternity. What a wonderful day!! My parents were our escorts and assisted us whle we were there. Maggie was a doll and so good during everything! We were able to have a few close friends and members of our ward join us. I am so happy we finally made it and look forward to the road ahead. I am so proud of my husband and all the progress we have both made.

Happy Easter!!!

Easter weekend has come and past and Maggie is an expert egg hunter. last Monday we did an Easter Story Easter Egg Hunt for our family night and she was so excited when she realized there were actually things inside the egss!!! She had so much fun she kept wanting to hind and find the eggs and carried her easter Basket around all week. Saturday we had our church Easter Hunt in the mornign and went to Mom and Dad's church in the afternoon. She prefers to open the plastic egss as soon as she finds them so we had to keep reminding her to put them in her basket and then we would open them all together at then end. After she fell asleep Saturday night, i Started getting her Easter Basket together from the "Easter Bunny". My poor hunsband was totally confused, apparently there is no easter Bunny in Mexico!! Isnt that sad!!! The easter Bunny never brought him any goodies during his childhood! Maggie was very excited when she saw her basket in the morning! I put way too many bubbles in it, though!! Then on Sunday afternoon we got a phone call from my brother Scott, who is in Iraq!!! YAY!! He was given the evening off and was able to get to a phone and call us. He sounds good andwill hopefully be home this summer sometime. Well thats our Easter in a nutshell!! Hope everyone had a great Easter!!!!

Strawberry Pickin'

The last 2 Fridays Maggie and I went down to a local pick your own farm to get some strawberries. I first went with a couple of my girlfriends and then Mom, Becca, and Seth joined us this last week. We had fun picking strawberries and I have been slowing making homemade jam, fruit leather, and strawberry pie. I was able to help my friend Laci make her first batch a strawberry jam (without any mom assistance, mine or hers!). We made some delicious jalapeno-strawberry jam! yummy! Any way enjoy the pictures and maybe if you are lucky you may get a taste of the yummy jam!!

Topsey Exotic Wildlife Park!!!

I am a little late with this post, but better late than never!!! A few weeks ago we all took a family trip to a local exotic wildlife park. We all had a great time (even though mom said i was a big chicken, but at least I rode in the back of the truck-g didnt even get out of the cab of the truck!!!) Maggie thought it was fun to see all the animals and finally fed the camel at the very end! The best part was the crazy camel! He totally tried to get fresh with mom!!! The last picture is the camel trying to get the last of the feed out from between mom's legs!!!! IT was great!!!

My Square Foot Garden

I decided to try the Square Foot Garedning method this year. I wanted something simple and easy and so far its working out!! I am also leading a gardening group at church and several women are giving it a try. My seeds are starting to sprout and hopefully I will have lots of fruits and veggies soon. I have planted onions, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers,, tomatoes, lettuce, squash, zuccini, cantelope, and watermelon! I will keep updateing with my progress!!!

One year later!!

G and I just celebrated our one year anniversary!! Wow, what a year!!! This weekend we went down to San Antonio to celebrate. Mom graciously watched Maggie Lyn for us, even though she had been sick and tired all week and Dad was still out of town for work! (THANKS MOM!!!) Friday evening we enjoyed a good dinner and some nice quiet adult time sitting by the river walk talking. We went salsa dancing Friday night (g's favorite) and spent Saturday shopping (my favorite)! San Antonio is our new favorite place to go. There is so much culture and so much to see and do. We had a great time and look forward to many more years together!!
