4th of July!

It was so nice to have a day off and being able to enjoy it!  We met up with some relatives in Kerrville, Texas to watch the fireworks.  The place was not what I was expecting.  I was a little disappointed.  I thought it was going to be nicer and I was expecting a band playing patriotic songs, but that was not the case. The good thing though was that we were able to park right next to where we needed to set up to watch the fireworks.  With little ones, that was a big plus. Another good thing was that it wasn't very crowded, so the kids were able to run around and play.  There were also activities for the children.  So really, I can't complain. Oh, and the weather was just perfect and there were no mosquitos (those of you who live in Bmt. would've really appreciated that).  

The fireworks were great.  This was actually Luke's first time to participate in a 4th of July celebration!  His mouth was wide opened throughout the whole firework presentation.  While sitting there admiring the fireworks, Carson turned around and said:  "Mama, I wish Daddy was here to watch the fireworks with us."  We had a great time, but needless to say, we wish we would've spent the 4th with Daddy!

I've been doing some digital scrapbooking for a while now, but I was so excited when I found out about these free desktops!  You can get your free desktop from Shabby Princess at http://shabbyprincess.typepad.com/  

I've also included the calendar I used for May & June:

Happy Father's Day Dave!

Happy Birthday Natalia!

Sunday Fun

Before Dave had to go back to Beaumont, we went to play a little tennis and also played on the playground. It was hot, very hot. Look at those hot, dirty and sweaty little faces...

Everybody was sad to see that Daddy had to go back to Beaumont. We decided that WALL-E would ease up the pain. We cleaned up and after we said good bye to Daddy we went to the movies. Luke was falling asleep in the car on our way there. I didn't know how that was going to work out, but once he walked into the movie theater, he was fine. As a matter of fact, this was Luke's very first time to go to the movies. All three enjoyed the movie very much. They sat still throughout the whole thing. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful and fun weekend!

A Day at Landa Park

I was expecting a lot more from our Saturday outing, but it was still a fun day. By the time we left the house, it was already lunch time so we went to Mr. Gatti's. We've had better pizza, by the way. The kids were able to play some games. I really think Daddy spent most of the coins there though. His excuse was that he was helping them with some of the games.


I just love this picture of Natalia and Daddy talking while eating lunch.









After lunch we went to Landa Park in New Braunfels thinking it was going to be as beautiful as in the pictures I saw on the web...well, I was a little disappointed. We played minature golf, which the kids enjoyed very much and then we rode the little train. It was fun, although we could've done that in San Antonio.

Oh yea, and this is Luke enjoying the train ride:

Enjoying Some Time Alone

On Friday, after eating that yummy banana split Dave prepared for us, Dave and I went to see Get Smart. I love going to the movies so this was a real treat, especially since we don't get to go to the movies very often. It was such a good movie. We laughed a lot, which felt good. Plus, it was fun to go out without the kids :0) !

Daddy is Here!

You can tell by looking at what we had for dessert:

And, this is what we usually have for dessert:

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love option #1!  

So, it's always so good to see Daddy.

"Katy Bar the Door"

Right after lunch my Mom called me and said, "Natalia just locked the door to their room!"  You might be thinking, not a big deal.  The problem is that we don't have a key to that lock.  So, I had to go all the way home to drop off Luke's diaper bag since all the diapers were in their room.  I only had a few minutes before I had to be in a conference call, but I still had a few seconds to take a few pictures.  ~Oh Natalia, perfect timing.  All I want to know is, how in the world did Natalia think this was a good idea or how she thought this would be a fun thing to do.  Sometimes I wish I could get into her little brain to see what goes on in there....
