Mommy and the camera

Being that it is Sunday and Chris is working. It is just me and little buddy. We got dolled up for church today. When we got home I took his vest and church pants off to change his diaper. I just couldn't take off his cute purple dress shirt and matching tie. So I threw some jeans on him and some casual shoes and the kid reminded me of Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother. So I tousled his hair a bit and got the camera out.

Witte Museum

Saturday we got together with Matt, Nicole and Lexi for a trip to a museum here in town. None of us had been to the Witte before. We weren't sure what this museum was about. We were pleasantly surprised to find it is very family friendly. We most likely will go back soon.

He wanted to be a part of the show

She loves her tongue.

Little Lexi just woke up.

Is that your tongue again Lexi?

That's "H" for Hudson

This was a blast! Riding a bike on a tight rope.

Thoughts on a holiday weekend.

It's so nice to have 3 day weekend once in awhile. I know this holiday has a special meaning behind it. Most of us look forward to hanging out with family and friends, eating great food and getting some sun. I don't come from a military background. My Grandfather was in the service years and years ago, before my mother was born. Aside from that I haven't had close friends involved in an active military life. Having moved to San Antonio, I have come to respect the families and people who are a great big part of why we are able to live the way we do. I am grateful to the men and women who serve our country. I am also grateful for the sacrifices their families make by letting go of a father, mother, child, or sibling while these people fight hard to protect us. Many of us don't like what is going on in government or feel that our leaders are letting us down. In many ways I could agree, however life could be much more difficult. Whether or not you agree with everything going on, remember that there are still people giving their life for us. Lets take a minute and pray for these people and their families. Happy Memorial Day

2012 Lone Star Round Up

Chris lived in San Antonio before he move to Utah to find a wife. So he knows this area pretty well. There are a few things he did in the area that he's always talked about doing again. One of those things is going to the Lone Star Round Up. It's a HUGE car show just outside of Austin.

We got all dolled up Saturday morning and jumped in the car. This place was huge! Cars everywhere! Tattooed people everywhere. Vendors galore with tons of over priced knock off vintage apparel. Fun to browse but not to buy! The weather was windy but the cool breeze made it rather tolerable. We took little buddy's wagon. He liked being pulled around but a few times he pulled the wagon himself!

Here are some pics and a video from our journey....

He took a liking to daddy's soda water bottle

When he gets older we will be getting him his own cover-alls from this place!

Does monkey need a drink?

Taking a break with monkey

He even got a koozie for his bottle.

I know there are mostly pics of my kid! I can't help it! Look how cute he is!

6+ months in TX

I got to thinking about it today. It's been just over 6 months since we moved here! Crazy! I'm still adjusting. Some days I think, "I'm okay, this move wasn't that bad." Then there are other day I realize just how much of my life is new. I've been married under three years, we have a 15 month old son, I live in a new state, and I have a brand new job I'm still trying to get used to.

In someways I embrace the fact that I am a Gemini. (sign of the twin) I sometimes think I feel two different ways about things. So yes, in ways I am still struggling with the move ,but in many ways the move has gone very well!

I'm not on top of things like I used to be. Easter is here and I barely did anything for it. I did buy my son a new outfit to wear to church and that is about it! We just put a roast in the crock pot. We invited Matt and Nicole over because the are right smack in the middle of a move. Happy Easter to us!

We attempted church, again. Our son just takes it out of us. It's a total wrestle through the Sacrament. We then decided to listen to the rest of the meeting in the hall. He started to throw a tired fit out there. Then we called it! We're OUT OF HERE! We tried right?

Here's to taking life ONE DAY AT A TIME!    LIFE IS A JOURNEY!
