Yay for Nice Weather!

The month has started off quite well. It has been bearable temps (high 90's) which means we have been spending more time outdoors.

In the afternoons I have been working outside weeding, spraying, and trimming back plants. I must "toot my own horn" because our yard is looking fantastic (well compared to what it looked like when we bought the house). We have had a few down pours this week and it has made a difference. Finally our grass is coming along. Now it is actually green and free of Grub Worms. The plants are flowering like crazy, the Palms are growing new shoots and I'm filling the humming bird feeder twice a week. It sounds like Paradise but don't worry, we're still in Laredo:)


This Palm started off with only three small shoots.

My Mother's Day gifts.

Big Boy 13 1/2 months old!

He likes rocks better then flowers:)

We went to the JV game on Thursday and it was Taylor's first one since he has been able to walk. Let's just say...I should have wore my sneakers and sweat band. He was up and down the bleachers with his arms in the air yelling Da Da. People were laughing at him and that even got him going louder and faster. By the end of the season I just know I'll be 10 lbs. lighter. I'm looking forward to the Varsity games. Right now they are 1-1 in pre-season and "looking pretty good" Sean says. I have yet to go to a game since they have all been 2-3 hours away.

This weekend one of my "Bunco" friends had a garage sale. The night before the sale I spent countless hours going through Taylor's outgrown clothes and toys by organizing and pricing them. I knew I wouldn't be able to communicate with the customers in English. So I made sure to write the numbers very clear. Well the prices didn't matter because the customers would pick up an item and then ask me, "How much?" so, I would say half the price of the ticket. With that being said: I made a measly $23 However, I got a $4 coffee on the way there and a $1 sweet tea on the way home. Needless to say, No more garage sales for me!

Now back to Taylor: 13 months

SO SCARY!
I went to get the camera for a "cute baby" photo of Taylor.
This is what I got when i walked in the room!
This is our typical day...EVERY DAY...I can't get him to stop jumping on the couch!

"ooh" after me reminding him time and time again "that's dangerous"


He plopped right down and started bouncing! It was too cute even though it's blurry.


Oh by the way, he pulled my digital camera off the counter. It's definitely broke:( Now I'm having to use the snapshot button on the video camera. The photo's are supposed to be better but I have to figure out the blurriness.
