Dog park trip

At the end of February we went to this new dog park that was recently completed. We had so much fun and then after the dog was run tired we saw people coming out on this walkway with trees. We decided to investigate it and the walkway took us around this pond. It was a pretty little area and the kids got some of their energy out, which is always a bonus!

One happy dog! Playing with the other dogs
I just love how pretty she looks here

San Antonio Rodeo Grounds Visit

Recently we went to the rodeo ground for the San Antonio Stock show and Rodeo! It was fun to walk around and look at the animals and see everthing there. They had so much for the kids to do. It was a fun experience for them.

At one of the areas they both got these foam cowboy hats! looking at the chicks

Random Kids & pets pictures

Here are some random pictures of the kids and our pets that we love so dearly enjoy!

Our little clown. This is the doll crib we built Avarie for her birthday. I am very glad it turned out to be a very sturdy little crib.

This is how we found our dog and cat one night ha ha! Two very adorable kids


I just thought this picture was so sweet of my little girl!

Avarie got her ears pierced about a month ago. She was so excited

adorable smile

Reid has hit the I am two I am going to be independant and put his own shoes on and this was the result. They were on backward and he didn't have any socks on, but was not worth the fight when he was so proud of himself!

Handsome little dude

our little clown ha ha

They had decided they were cold and wanted to snuggle and this is how I found them

Our sweet little girl in the dress I recently made her

Reid Turns 2

My little boy turned two this January! I am not sure how I feel about it. It is a little bitter sweet. It is so great to watch him grow up, but he now isn't my little baby anymore.

Some facts about Reid at age 2:

He is obscessed with whale particularly Killer whales

He is talking more and more every day.

He loves to say his siters name and to him she is

Waywee.

He has learned the word no and does not hesitate to use it.

he has developed a love for taking his pants off and running around in a diaper.

Happy birthday Reid!!!

Opening presents!!

my favorite whale.

Whale cake

My hands were dyed from the fondant whales. ha ha

Trip through King William's district

The first part of January my wonderful friend Charly took me and the kids for a drive around the King William's District in downt town San Antonio. It was the area of San Antonio in the 1800s that was fashionable and where the well to do settled. Some of the homes have plaques outside to tell you about the homes history. A lot of the home were either being restored or were beautifully restored. It was such a fun trip and the architecture of the home is what I have always loved!

This was not one of the homes that was restored and as you can see it is leaning horribly toward the back of the house. The worst part about it is that people lived there. It was a little scary and sad that this once beautiful home is so run down. Loved to porch on this one, not a fan of the color, but to each his own.

gorgeous porch

One of the smaller but really cool homes

Loved the curved railing that leads up to the door

This was my absolute favorite home there. It was so beautiful. This picture does not do it justice!!!! If you look close you will see a large cement block out at the edge of the side walk. These blocks were used when the person would ride up on their horse. This horses were of course tall so these blocks would be used as a step to dismount the horse. I thought it was so interesting that some of the home owners had left these in.

This home still had the origional carriage house. You can see part of the house on the left of the picture and the carriage house is set back a little.

Sorry this one is a bit blurry, but we were driving around and I am not the best photographer :)

You can see a plaque on the fence on this one

This one was gorgeous too!! I loved the arch ways

Loved the entry on this one and the picture doesn't show the detail in the doors very well, but the doors were so pretty

Simple yet very eligant

Loved the curved porch on this one!

Sorry for so many pictures but the old southern style homes have always been a love of mine and if I could buy or beuild my dream home it would be in this style ( maybe not as big though. too much to clean ha ha).
