Brothers

Liam and Eli are great friends. Liam loves to play and make Eli laugh. I can't wait until they are older. Liam loves to have Eli in the play room. They play so well together. I love to watch them interact.

Eli and his Bear Bear

Eli received this large blue bear for Christmas from his Aunt Maria. Eli loves to cuddle with his bear. Liam has nicknamed Eli, Bear Bear. I think is cute since Eli is round and pudgy like a bear.

This bear is almost as big as he is. 

He loves to roll around on it and snuggle. 

Look at that happy face. 

Silly Teeth

Liam and I were making rice crispy treats the other day and this is what happened. 

We made silly marshmallow teeth! 

Liam's favorite part was eating the marshmallows after making our teeth! 

Liam the Cat

The other day Liam decided to act just like Lexy. So he meowed, he followed Lexy around, and looked out the window longingly. It was quite cute. I love his imagination!

My Sweet Silly Boys

Eli has become quite the cuddle bug. I just love all the snuggles I get form him. Liam loves to hang out with his brother too. They can be very silly together. Liam loves to make Eli smile and laugh! I love my boys! Each day is an adventure with and I wouldn't change a thing! 

Look at the handsome little boy! He loves to cuddle his bears. 

Liam was refusing to get dressed this day. He thought it was so funny to play in his underwear. Eli didn't seem to mind. 

Look at those handsome boys! I just love them to pieces! 

Liam thought he was so funny by pretending to be a baby like Eli! 

Daddy's Truck

Liam loves to ride in Chris' truck. His favorite part is when Chris reverse parks and lets Liam ride in the front! It is love!!!! I love this boy! He is amazing and full of life!

All smiles! 

Preschool Program

Liam's preschool had their annual program.  I was hoping that this year Liam would manage to stay on stage. Chris was at survivor so Liam invited Ms. Linda to join us. Although he did stay on stage, he was not big on singing. I know he seems sad but he just missed his daddy. Maybe next year he will sing.

This was his position the entire song.

Here is a video of his bear song!

One Hot Mess

Eli finally discovered food. I thought this kid was going to boycott solids forever. Now I can't stop him from eatting. He has no off switch, just like his brother. He loves most everything we give him. He still doesn't love the spoon but prefers pouches or just our food. He is very messy when he eats and it is super cute! Eli will also go after anything he thinks might be food.

Fruit pouch. He was mad I would not let him hold it.

Ladies Retreat and My Birthday

This year's ladies retreat was in Marble falls. It also happened to fall on my 30th birthday. Since I was in charge of get to know you games, I had to be there. I wanted to be there. I got to spend my birthday with some of the most amazing ladies I know. All these women have impacted my life in one way or another. I love them all. I was super excited to spending the weekend with them. Plus I planed some fantastic games to play! I was minding my own business getting ready for games when my friends surprised me!  I have some of the most amazing friends. Lauren put together a box of my favorite things. She got gifts from all my friends and placed them in this big box. Ashley made some homemade cotton candy. 

Completely surprised! 

 

I was so overwhelmed with love! 

My friends truly made my day special! 

There was so much stuff that I love in this box. My friends know what I love! 

I think I had 3 pounds of red vines, 1 pound of red twizzlers, 2 pounds of black licorice, peeps, cotton candy, honey mustard pretzels, chocolate covered cherries, thin mints, grasshopper cookies, shamrock socks, pink nail polish, sparkly pink necklace, pink sparkly coffee mug, shamrock cup, a book, k-cups, and a deep fryer. There was more in there but I can't remember it all. Looking at this, one would think I eat a ton of junk food! 

My friends truly made me feel loved and special that day. I will always remember my 30th birthday because each friend made me feel so blessed. 

Now onto the games!!!!! 

Chris helped me pick some fun minute to win it games for our retreat. I didn't want to do just get to know you games, so I was determined to make it super fun and involved. I was also determined to make all ages participate!!!! I didn't just want the young ones up there stealing all the fun. 

I am pretty sure this is cookie face. They had to get an oreo from their forehead to their moth without using their hands. 

Missy won! She learned at ladies retreat that she has a new talent! 

We also played the purse game, sticky situation, marshmallow toss and cookie stack. We did some get to know you games and everyone had fun! I really enjoyed this fellowship time with all my ladies. 

After the retreat, we shopped marble falls and enjoyed the Blue Bonnet Cafe. This place is known for their pie!!!!! 

All of us ladies after some much needed pie! 

After pie, Lauren, Kristen, Stacia and I headed back to San Antonio for one more night with our the kids. We got a hotel room and stayed up late talking and laughing. It is always a fun time with the girls. 

My birthday weekend conclude with lunch at Raising Cane's and new pots and pans form the hubby! 

Spurs' Game

Chris and I decided to take Liam to his first ever San Antonio Spurs game. He was so excited. THe game started at 7pm, Liam's normal bedtime. It was going to be interesting to see how things turned out. We were not sure if he would be able to hold out for the entire game. Surprisingly, Liam made it through the entire game and overtime. He was super excited that he got a drink and entire bag of m&m's to himself. It is the small things in life that matter.

On the way to the Spurs game. One excited little boy. 

Almost there. 

Family picture before the game. 

It was a very intense game! He is so his father's son. 

My handsome boy! 

Sometimes you just have to let your tummy breath! 

Silly faces! 

And we win in overtime!!!! 

Yeah Spurs!!!! 

One tired little boy but he was excited they won! 

Going back to the car! 

Liam = Tony Parker

Liam loves to play basketball. He loves to play Spurs basketball.  He likes to pretend that he is Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili and his daddy is Tim Duncan.  It is so much fun watching him play and pretend all these things. He is very good at the basketball.

My little Parker

Look at that face. Such determination. 

It is hard work being a Spurs player.
