Maggie and Jared!

Maggie has become obessed with a little boy at church! She loves to play with Jared and every morning she wakes up and says "Wanna go play Jared!!" OVER AND OVER!!!! We went to hang out with Jared and his Aunt Holly on Friday night. Maggie was trying to steal some kisses!! Of course I missed the best picture where they were both giving each other a kiss, but that's okay. Today is Jared's birthday and we are going to his house this evening for a little b-day party! Maggie is super excited! Anyway- Happy birthday Jared!

It's another girl!!!

Good Morning!!! Many of you already know the exciting news, but I thought I would post it anyway. We had our ultrasound on Friday and found out that we are having another girl!!!! G was right again! We are both super happy and cant wait for little Sophie to get here this summer! The picture on here is of her sweet little face! Enjoy!

Soccer Monster!!!

Gerson LOVES soccer!!! When he was 6 years old he was riding the buses by himself around town to go play soccer. He played all through school and even coached the North Texas boys soccer team for a couple of years. He is trying to pass his love of soccer onto Maggie. She has her own soccer ball and whenever she kicks it she yells "GOAL!!!" We went to a local high school soccer game this weekend and she had a blast running around kicking her ball. She started yelling "Go boys go!!!". G can't wait till she 4 so he can coach her soccer team!!

Potty Training Gone Bad!!

We have been trying to get maggie lyn to go pee pee in the potty like a big girl. We have had a few really good days, but they all mean nothing now that maggie had a traumatic experience with the toilet. G and I were working on the kids bedroom painting and moving furniture round. As we were working we heard a loud noise and making starting crying. When we found her she was sitting backwards in the toilet!! Needless to say we have not had and more success with the potty!!

the cutest girl in the whole world!!!!

Maggie is such a joy in our lives and I just wanted to post some random pictures of her just being cute!! She loves the camera, although she isn't always the most cooperative when it comes to taking pictures. She is just a doll!!! Enjoy the pics!!!

maggie's kitchen set

When I was young my grandpa made us the coolest kitchen set ever!!! He made a set for each family. Over the years my mother painstakingly moved it from house to house, even across the ocean from Germany!!! She has had it in her storage shed for years. Becca tried to get Seth to play with it, but he is definately a boy!! He was not interested. This summer my mom and I got the kitchen set out and cleaned it up and painted it!! It is super cute. Maggie loves to play with it, she got play food, dishes and pots and pans for her birthday and really enjoys pretending to cook and loves to bring me plates of food!!! I remember how much fun I had with it and look forward to many years of fun for maggie and her siblings!!

Maggie's turned 2!!!!

Maggie turned 2 years old on the 20th of this month. We had a little party for her at the house and then went to a local bounce house place so they could run off all the energy from the candy and cake. Gerson did all the planning this year and I think he did a great job!!! It gave me a welcomed break which I so needed , especially since I have been so sick. The theme this year was Dora The Explorer - who Maggie absolutely loves!!! She got so many Dora toys-I dont think she quite knows what to do with them all!! Maggies cousins came up from McAllen( otherwise known as mexico town), Seth Aunt B, and all the grandparents, even old poopy and grandma came over. Miss Mary, Maggie's babysitter, made the cake and her famous cookies! maggie wanted a cookie as soon as G walked in the house with then. She reached up on the counter and grabbed what she thought was a cookie, little did she know it was actually the candle for her cake and she didnt not like the taste of the big bite she took. If you look closely you can see a chunk missing from the candle!! Maggie loved singing the "Happy Birthday Song" and had a blast opening her presents!! I think the highlight of the party was the pinata. Maggie's abuelita specialed ordered a Swiper the Fox pinanta from Mexico and it was huge!!!! Even my dad got in on the hitting!!! We had a great visit with Gerson's family and are so thankful they could make it into town. We can hardly believe Maggie is already two!!! She is a joy and a blessing, even though I do call her the crazy child!!!
