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!!

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!!
