Summer Time

Friday, July 1, 2011

Summers in Texas are always way too hot! We definitely have been trying to stay in doors as much as possible, but we get stir crazy after a while. We kicked off our summer at Hawaiian Falls on Memorial Day weekend. Sadly I do not have any pictures, but the boys had a blast. Diego and Dylan are both water babies. Diego asks almost every day if we can go back. Daddy and I left the water park with a very bad sunburn, despite the fact that we applied sunblock numerous times throughout the day. Diego and Dylan luckily were sunburn free. We also bought the boys a little swimming pool so we can swim during the evenings. They also have beating the heat outdoors with waterguns. They just love to run around and shoot each other.

Om Nom Nom

Thursday, June 30, 2011

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, I had two boys who would devour anything I fed them. Those days are long gone, and now I deal with two adorable but picky eaters. When both Diego and Dylan started eating table food, they loved to eat typical Mexican food, I'am not talking Taco Bueno here. I' am talking about lengua(tongue) barbacoa (long cooked shredded beef), chorizo (mexican sausage), the types of things I grew up eating. Now they won't touch it. Diego lives off chicken, pasta, and fruits. Whenever I try to get him something new he says " No thanks Mom, I' am allergic". Seriously. As much as the kid loves cheese and eating sliced bread, he won't eat a grilled cheese sandwich. Dylan on the other hand, will at least try new things, and most of the time does like it. Meal times are quite a mess around here, mostly Dylan, the kid can't stay clean for longer than an hour.


One of the things I have done to get my boys to eat sandwiches, is use cookie cutters. Diego prefers a dinosaur shaped sandwich. I also bought edible markers and I draw faces on the sandwich. Before the cookie cutters, they would not even come near a sandwich. They absolutely do not like any dressing either, they prefer them plain and dry. We also use trays in various colors and designs for meals, it seems to get them to eat more.

 







If anyone has any tips on how to get my boys to try new things, please shoot me an email.

Crafty Babies

Saturday, June 25, 2011

For  Fathes Day the boys and I decided we were going to make Daddy home made cards. I wanted to make their hand print into a heart shape and let them decorate the cards. Diego thought it was the coolest thing to have paint all over his hands. He was overly excited so his cute little heart looked like a blob of hands. He went to town with the dinosaur stickers. Dylan like always did not want to participate in the hand print heart, so he just scribbled all over his card. Dylan's card making was cut short when he decided he wanted to draw on the walls with a marker.  Two of my nieces were over and also helped the boys as well as make cards for their Daddy's. Diego was so happy about his masterpiece and told Daddy as soon as he got home. I had to remind him it was a secret and he had to wait a few days before it was Fathers Day. 










I still need to take a picture of the final product, but Daddy loved his cards. I plan to frame then and hang them in the playroom.

Embrace the Camera

Thursday, June 23, 2011

If you know me, you know I HATE having my picture taken. I would much rather stay behind the camera. When I find that I'am in pictures I never share them with anyone, I rather keep those to myself and for my boys one day. So I have been trying to be IN more pictures with my babies. Today I decided to try out my self timer on my camera and we finally got a few I love. The boys thought it was pretty fun to hurry and pose and enjoyed counting the flashing light, which is pretty awesome because they are not very cooperative models most of the time. We might have to try that more often. I must warn you this is me all natural, after a long day, no make up, messy hair, with two dirty, shirtless babies with crazy hair and dirty faces.

Oh Brother

A brother is a friend given by Nature. ~Jean Baptiste Legouve


Yes, sometimes my boys get really dirty, and I let them stay in pj's all day if they want. Yet I still take a picture of them, because they are always beautiful and perfect to me.
