Sleep tight...

This is how my boys sleep. Weston sleeps all tight with his covers and snuggled up.
Noah is always taking up the opportunity to bring something special to bed... this time it was the baby (taken from my parents' house). He loves babies! And in the middle of the night, kicks off covers!

Craving

Wally's mom had shared these cupcakes with us a while back, and I had been craving them, and so I bought all the ingredients and made them! Many steps and take time, but well worth it! As you can tell, the top frosting needed to be a little refrigerated before putting it on (thanks to Texas weather), but I couldn't wait!

Oh, I regret forgetting the ingredient that gives it the final touch.... a piece of caramel on the top!

Conference weekend

On that Saturday, we went to some friends house to watch and listen to conference. The kids paid more attention while playing bingo with "smarties" (candy). So on Sunday, we were going to watch conference supposedly, on the internet through our wii system, due to no cable anymore. But it was unsuccessful because of the video streaming or something. So I thought we could watch it on my iPad, but it was not coming up successfully and fast. Then I told Wally to bring the PC so we could hook it up on the TV. By then, we ended up needing our keyboard, mouse, speakers, and for some reason Wally brought the monitor too.

So, the picture below is to show that at a certain point, 3 screens were working fine with conference showing. I thought it deserved a picture! Weston enjoying it on the computer monitor, Wally and Noah on the iPad, and me watching it on the TV.

 Our Conference bingo worked great with jelly beans, and I don't know for other people, but my kids totally paid attention to conference! We had a very good time, and listened, and learned, and it was probably the best time of all the conference sessions we have watched at home in the past years.

Blue bonnets

A texas tradition, I will call it, to take pictures at the blue bonnets fields.... But we still had not done it! Procrastination... bad, bad. So, Whitni called me one morning and asked if we could meet in about an hour or so at the blue bonnets! What?! Ok, let's do it. Hurry, find somewhat coordinated shirts, get in the car and go. Luckily I had the car. So after all the many, these are a quick selection of some that I liked. Fun time!

 



At the zoo....

On Spring break, we had the pleasure of going with Whitni and the boys to the Houston zoo. We packed a picnic lunch and we enojoyed it in the middle of our visit. The boys had fun looking at the animals and walking around in between a lot of people! I had fun too.

Best for last

I forgot to post these ones, Weston took the one of me and Wally.
I think they turned out good!

Horse-back riding in the middle of no where...

 We have some friends that have horses in Conroe, and so we got together with them for a fun weekend out "in the middle of no-where", seriously. So we barbequed hot dogs, had some chips, fruit and drinks, and roasted marshmallows after.
They have 2 kids, a boy and this cute girl, that Noah found as a buddy... They both love to eat so they decided to stay there eating... Weston and Wally watched Leslie ride "Diamond" first.

"Keep your back straight Wally".

 "Oh Diamond, please turn".... I'm suppose to relax, but it's not that easy as it seems!

 Smiling just for that camera. I was nervous!

Weston is happy with dirt and a stick, anywhere!

So after the horse riding, our little family stopped by the park in the neighborhood and played...

 Weston said the slide was very steep!

All the boys like swings.

"Watch me jump high!"

And he did!!

   

We had a fun time!

My friend and I

This is my friend Magaly. We like to hang out together, whenever she has a day off and can come over. We cook and eat lunch, bake a dessert, talk, and laugh. I befriended her when she was investigating the church. She got baptized, then she started going to the singles ward and I moved to the Magnolia ward. We still keep in touch. This pic is from Dec, but we hung out again yesterday.

A first, a crooked, and a comfortable one

Noah after his 1st day in Sunbeams, his class at church. He cried/screamed the whole time and called for daddy. But he liked the ball with lights that his teacher gave him.



Weston showing his tooth coming out (crooked!).

And this is Noah, while I do things in the computer. He laid out a blanket on top of some filing boxes, got a little "Plumbing Codes" book and a pencil, and is "studying"...... He liked the fact that the book is tiny. (This pic is NOT posed!)
