Photo Full

Tonight my friend Sara and I took a Photo-Full class tonight and had a blast. I love the way my page turned out. Tami, the instructor, gives you the lay-out and dimentions and we got to pick our papers and use our own pictures. I used the pictures from our BYOS at Bontanical Gardens.

Here are some of the pictures...ENJOY!!!

Fire Ants

My Poor Baby Boy got bit my Fire Ants...look at his feet..we did see the doctor and he is on Benadryl and an ointment for the inching. He should be OK witin 2-3 days...just have to watch for infection.

He says it hurts when he walks and wants me to rub his feet and kiss them...

Peaches and Strawberries

We went out to Malburger Farms today with my parents. It's located outside of Fredricksburg, TX. Nicholas had a blast picking Strawberries and Peaches. It was definately a moment to remember.

Our Small New Used Boat

Well, we finally broke down and bought a used boat...it's only 14 ft. but it is sooo comfortable for all three of us to relax and fish. It's perfect for Port O'Connor where we like to fish. We see all these other $ 20,000.00+ boats and laugh because we could have bought a new more expensive boat but it all comes dowm to is that we can catch the same fish they do only we didn't spend a fortune.

What A Day!

Carlos woke up early this morning a went fishing. Nicholas and I slept in and watched cartoons this morning. We walked down to the dock to pick-up the Jeep and went to have some lunch.

Nicholas and I got a car from Carlos saying he was heading back and would pick us up from the dock if we'd like to go for a boat ride and fish a little. Here are some pictures.




We went to eat a a restraunt called, "The Spot". Carlos ordered a burger and Nicholas got a corndog...it took nearly 45 mins. and they were not busy at all. After looking at the menu and the lady telling me they were out of salad and the grilled veggies...oh, and Baked Potatoes...I knew it was not for me so I did not order.

We went riding around and Nicholas fell asleep...Carlos stayed with him at the hotel and napped himself...I went to Clark's Marina and had a wonderful dinner...Grilled Chicken with Caper Sauce and Rice...with an awesome salad.

Now back at the hotel and Nicholas and Carlos are sleeping...wow, they better get up or they will not sleep tonight.

Until Later.

Fun In The Sun

We are still in Port O'Connor. Nicholas had fun swimming in the hotel pool today...I was trying to teach him to kick his feet and lay on his tummy and at first he was a little scared but got used to the idea. After swimming we decided to go to the beach to play in the sand and to find sea shells...Nicholas really enjoyed playing in the sand and for the first time loved walking in the water...he actually let the water hit his feet. After the beach we went to get an icecream cone and then to wash the car and Nicholas fell asleep so we went back to the hotel and he slept while I hit the shower...boy did I ever deserve that.

Carlos came back from fishing so he and Nicholas took a shower and then we went to have dinner. We are now back at the hotel relaxing.

Relaxing

We are here in Port O'Connor, Texas. I am sitting on the patio of our hotel looking out at the pool and a pond near by. Nicholas is bouncing his basketball and playing. Carlos took the boat out to catch some Piggie Perch for his day of fishing tomorrow. It is so windly today but feels great.

We all went for lunch at Mama's Grill and shared Chicken Tenders and fries...they were so good. Nicholas and I came back and took a nap and then got up and went to the pool. I managed to lay-out for a little while as Carlos joined us and he was able to keep track of Nick.

I think tomorrow Nicholas and I will go to the beach so I can lay-out and he can play in the sand right next to me...seems easier that way then being around a pool.

We're waiting for Carlos to return so that we can go eat at Clark's Marina tonight.

Until Later...

Today's Fun

Nicholas and I had a fun day at Fiesta Texas. Unfortunely, the waterpark is only open on weekends until next week and that was the main reason we went.

It was not packed at all...we didn't have to wait in line for anything,


Nicholas won a Bugs Bunny playing the fishing game...just like his Papa....he loves to fish.

We rode all the kiddie rides and while at the airplane ride Nick wanted to watch the log ride come down the hill...he watched it for 15 minutes. He said, Mama, I want to go on that. So, she made the height requirement of 36 inch and we rode the ride. He screamed down the 1st drop with was small....he said, Mama hold me. I held him tight....then we went doen the drop that he had been watching...he screamed and I screamed and then got splashed at the end....he liked it but then didn't....he was smiling at everyone when we were exiting.

We went to look at our picture and you could see me holding on to Nicholas screaming. Unfortunately, the guy in front of us raised his hands and covered Nicholas face...all you could see was his hat. I was so disappointed as that could have been a great picture.

I was thinking that when I boarded that I wanted to sit in the front to get a great shot...anyway, as we were leaving I asked Nicholas if he wanted to go again and he said, "No Mama, that's for big kids". Oh well.


I got a great shot with Nicholas and Tweety and Sylvester...

Until next time...Enjoy!

Relaxing Day

Well, today I really didn't do much. Nicholas and I went over to spend time with my parents. They took us to have lunch @ Jims. It was great. We also went to Wal-mart...Pawpaw bought Nicholas a train set and Grandma bought Nicholas a Spider man Pinata...he loves Pinatas and a baseball and bat...he loves those too! He probably has about 10 bats already.

For dinner my nephew and I picked up chinese and brought it home. There was a Tuesday Morning next to the resturant so while we were waiting we shopped a litte. They had some cute scrapbook items and stamps. Do you think I bought anything? ha, I am a Scrap-o-holic and can't stop.

Anyway, I have not done any scrapping today...but let me show off a little creation I did recently...I just completed it yesterday...here are a few pages.

March 28, 2008

Nicholas and I stayed home for most of the day today. I cleaned and washed some clothes while Nicholas enjoyed his cartoons. He loves watching Noggin. I love it too...it's like pre-school on TV. He has learned so much from all of the shows that come out.

When Carlos came home he took Nicholas to meet Cousin Vic and Uncle Luis at Chuck E. Cheese. Nicholas loves to go there an shoot hoops.

Meanwhile, I went to my friend Sara's house for "Cookin' Crazy Mama's". We made 3 chicken dishes and got to taste them all. We made Crunchy Chicken Strips, Chicken w/Parmasan Noodles, and Thai Chicken. My favorite was the Thai Chicken.

Anyway, that's my day.

March 26, 2008

Nicholas and I went to meet out friends at the Botanical Gardens this morning. Can you beleive I have practically lived in San Antonio all of my life and I have never been there. Well, it was beautiful. I will definately be going back for a visit. The gardens are gorgeous.

A few of us went to have lunch at McDonalds afterwards and then I took Nicholas to see a Dermatologist for a rash he has. It just has dry skin and with the proper lotions and soap he should be OK.

We went a spent time at my parents and had dinner with them. My mom made her famous Spagetti. Yum!

My mom and I went to Costco's. I bought a new swim suit...beleive it or not!

We came home and I watched Jericho. I recorded it yesterday because I was too busy Scrappin' to watch it. It's the series finale. I can't beleive they are not going to continue the series.

Well, off to bed I go.

March 25, 2008

Today was a great day. I managed to get alot of clothes washed and cleaned the house a little. Nicholas and I went to HEB, we needed groceries and more laundry detergent. Nicholas loves going to the store...we go down the aisles and he always says, "Mama, we need to buy that for Papa". He knowsa exactly what Papa likes...he has a great memory.

We got to play outside in the backyard today for a while...Nicholas has a playground complete with a swing set, trampoline, sandbox, and basketball hoop.

Nicholas wanted me to watch him shoot hoops today. He also has a basketball hoop in the garage. He likes to practice his lay-ups. I have a very coordinated and athletic 2 year old.

Check out this video.

March 23, 2008

My hubby and I are still awake its 2 minutes until mid-night. He is on the home computer and I am on my lap-top. We are just having a great time together. Listening to music, talking and checking out our favorite sites. I suppose we should go to bed but our night has been really relaxing anf enjoyable.

March 23, 2008

Well, this is my 1st blog so I am just testing it out and getting familiar with all the tools and buttons. Hopefully, I can get something set up today.

It is Easter Sunday and we are all at home relaxing. Carlos just finish cleaning or should I say Straigtening up the garage and I have cleaned the kitchen and our office.

Nicholas had very Happy Easter. The Easter Bunny brought him a new "Max & Ruby" DVD, Playdo in egg containers and a big chocolate bunny.

He went over to visit our neighbors and they gave him a cute puppy holding a rope in his mouth and when you pull it the puppy will grawl like he is playing. Really Cute!

I will finish a layout later today that I have been working on...the theme is Halloween.

For dinner tonight I am going to make Chicken w/Lemon Butter Capers on a bed of pasta.

Anyway, that is all for now.
