Lots Going On...And SO Little Time To Blog!

I have been meaning to blog for the past couple of weeks, but something always seems to come up. At the moment my only free time to blog is during nap time. For the most part the girls nap at the same time so that is great. However there are always so many things that need to be done during nap time, that sometimes "me time" gets pushed aside. Anyhow, that is just part of being a mommy of 2 little busy girls and I wouldn't change a thing!

There has been a lot going on lately, most importantly, Justin and Lourdes got married this past weekend!! We are SO incredibly happy for them and wish them the best! We know that they are going to have a great marriage and love one another unconditionally forever, because that is just how they both are.

However, I will go back in time about a month since that is when I last was able to post.

At the end of September Jacob and I threw a couples shower for Justin and Lourdes. We had it outside on the deck at Joe's Crab Shack. It turned out really cute and Justin and Lourdes seemed to enjoy it! We had some yummy margaritas to celebrate!

Justin and Lourdes with our girls, so sweet!


Justin and Lourdes with their nices and nephews!


The centerpieces, I was very proud! The shower was beach themed because their honeymoon is in The Bahamas!


A little brotherly love!


Opening up their gifts, yay!


The happy couple with their delicious cake!


We have been taking the girls over to a nearby park lately now that the weather has cooled off. There is a pond there so we usually take crackers to feed the turtles, fish and ducks. Jayda loves feeding the animals and Sydney loves being outside and watching everything. Most of the time we take Jayda's bike to the park too so she can ride around and have fun.

Jayda playing outside at Pecan Park, her favorite spot!


Right around the time that Sydney turned 7 1/2 months she started crawling! Jayda was at school, so it was just Sydney and mommy at home. She saw a fake chicken wing (some of Jayda's play food) and crawled her little self over to get it! After she did I started moving the toy all over the place so that she would crawl over and get it. Sure enough she did! I was so excited for her so I of course busted out the video camera to get this precious moment caught on tape! The way she crawls is by using her hands/arms and pulling herself up and pushes forward with her feet/toes. She looks hilarious, but it gets the job done. She has gotten much faster the longer she's been crawling and once she figures out how to pull her knees up under her she is going to be super fast!

Sydney started crawling at 7 1/2 months! Yay Sydney!!


"Hey Mommy! Why do you keep moving that toy around to make me crawl?!"


A few weeks ago we went to playgroup at a place called "A Bunch of Fun" out in Katy, TX. The kiddos had a great time! It was like a mini childrens musuem. Lots of pretend kitchen stuff, baby dolls, dress up, coloring, slides, sand pit (with moon sand), and toddler area. This was the first time Sydney was able to participate in playgroup, so that was very exciting!

She loved drawing/painting/coloring on the paper!

OK, so now of course that I have some time I have to blog, the internet or blogspot is really messing up! Unfortunately, this always seems to happen!! I have spent forever just trying to get the above pictures posted, and now it will not let me do anymore! Guess we'll have to do a "To Be Continued..."
