Just a Few Pics of the Girls

The first picture is of the girls before I attempted to take them with me to see "Made of Honor." It's a good thing the matinee show here is only $3 b/c we were only there 30 minutes. Now that Emma is walking she wants to explore and she was walking all over the theater. Of course Libby has to get in on the actiion and it became them playing chase. The next picture is of them on Mother's Day. Since I was by myself we spent the day visiting family in Mathis. This past weekend I went to a volleyball clinic and when I came back Saturday we had a girls night. Libby and Emma were in their matching jammies eating popcorn and drinking apple juice getting ready to watch "Racing Stripes." The last two pics are in George West at one of my coaching friend's house. She and I were pregnant at the same times with both kids. She had a boy the second time though. The kids swam and we ate hamburgers. Today is Memorial Day and we've been home all day. I've been packing up some last things. This week Pedro come home. We plan to go to the beach on his b-day, Saturday. Then we'll go to Sea World Sunday and meet up with Nana and Papa afterwards. Those are my parents by the way. Then Pedro and I will go stay the night in Gruene. I'm so excited. It's a trip to celebrate our b-days. We'll see Randy Rogers at Gruene Hall and then stay at Gruene Mansion Inn. Then we'll head to San Angelo to find a house. Then on my b-day I'll be heading back to Beeville without him b/c he'll have to go back to work. Nana and Papa will have the girls this whole time. I can't wait!

Ready to Move to San Angelo!

That's right everyone, we're moving! After four years in South Texas it's time to return to West Texas. I'm excited b/c when I turned three 24 years ago my parents moved to San Angelo and I lived there til I was nine. Now Libby is three and we're moving to San Angelo. About four weeks ago Pedro heard of an oppportunity to take a promotion in San Angelo. We had been talking about me moving out to West Texas since that's where he'll be working from now on. I saw a head volleyball opening at San Angelo Grape Creek. I pondered at the idea and we decided we'd just wait and move next year. Well, he heard about his opening up in San Angelo and we knew God was giving us the opportunity to have our family back together again. The volleyball job had not been filled, of course God was keeping it open for me. I went on an interview and was offered the job. Now we are packing up the house we were suppose to close on the day I went on the interview. God also held that up b/c paperwork wasn't ready. Anyway, we'll be outta here in June. It's sad to leave the house we brought both our girls home to and lived their first years. It will be a great transition. I'll be the head volleyball and assistant softball, yep never coached or played softball before. That should be interesting. But the best thing about the job is that I'll be out of the classroom and in the gym all day teaching PE! I'll be pulling out the pickleball and badminton equipment and get out my old books from ACU. We don't have a house, but we know God will take care of that too. For me and Pedro's birthdays we'll be taking a romantic getaway to look for a house. Hope all is well with everyone!

Fun Weekend With Daddy!

Pedro finally came home last weekend after four weeks away this time working. We really had a great time just staying home. The first couple of pictures are of the girls at a bowling birthday party of Libby's bestfriend from Day Care. Libby got to bowl and Emma wanted to so bad. That was Saturday. Then on Sunday after church we cooked out and the girls did the slip n' slide. I think Emma enjoyed it the most. Libby liked to drink the water. The last couple of pictures are just cute ones around the house I thought I would throw in. Libby is practicing her posing by the tree. We might have big new coming up in next week's blog. Keep in touch!

Love that Laundry

I love this picture of the girls. Libby loves to push Emma around in the laudry basket. The other pictures are from the park. Please pray for Pedro and I right now. We have a big decision to make about buying our house and staying in Beeville for another year, or moving to San Angelo.

Love that Laundry

This is the only time I love to see a laundry basket, when the kids are playing in it. Libby loves to push Emma around in the laundry basket. It was so cute. Emma is now walking! She still falls down a lot, but I consider her a walker now. Daddy/Pedro comes home this week. We are looking forward to having him home and having a fun weekend. Right now we need lots of prayer about the decision to buy our house, stay in Beeville, OR move to San Angelo! I'll spare all the details for now, but we have one week to make a decision. The other pictures are at the park.

Added Pictures

Here are few random pictures. I thought Emma looked so cute sitting on the counter before church. Libby loves her new tennis racket. This picture was at David and Julia's over Spring Break. The other picture is from the Princess Birthday party my Mom had for the girls over Spring Break. My uncle and aunt were so nice to let us have the party at their house. The next picture is of the girls eating lunch yesterday after church. Emma loves to be like her big sister. The last picture is of Libby's latest drawings. The picture on the left is her, and the one on the right is Pedro and I, so she says anyway. I think it's so amazing she can draw already. And she wants to draw her parents. Maybe someday she'll include Emma!

HEB and Sunday after Church

I put the picture of Libby and Emma outside after church so you can see there's not much height difference between them. Libby is bending over a little bit to help Emma stand up while I took the picture. The other pictures are at HEB. Libby thought it was so funny she could see me through the balloon.

Chuck E Cheese

Since we changed Libby's 3rd Birthday party from Chuck E Cheese to a swim party at the house she has been bugging me about going to Chuck E Cheese. I thought she had forgotten about it. I didn't get off that easy. So, last week I took both girls to the doctor for their check ups. The doctor said Emma is off the charts as far as her height goes. I thought she'd be off the charts with her weight, but they said she was perfectly proportionate. Libby did so well have blood taken and her flu shot, just a few tears, but no crying. So, I decided to do Chuck E Cheese by myself with both girls. Luckily it was not busy and turned out I could manage both girls on my own playing games. Here a few pictures of all the fun we had.

Almost There!

Emma is almost walking. She is going to be 14 mos. on the 26th of this month. She is a late bloomer, although you wouldn't know by her size. Here is a cute picture that was taken at her babysitter's this morning. She gets so excited when she takes a few steps. Here she took 3 steps.

Beautiful Babies!!!

I thought these pictures were so cute so I had to post them. Emma is obsessed with her swing outside. Her big smile shows how much she loves to swing. The picture of Libby was this morning before Day Care. I thought her outfit was so cute. She is such a girlie girl. I wasn't into the big bows and cutsie dresses, but I can't deny her personality. I will say she is already an athlete. She can be a girlie athlete. She knows how to pass the volleyball. Papa bought her a tennis racket for her birthday so we'll start tennis lessons this summer. Eventually she and Emma will be doubles partners. What big plans us parents have for our kiddos.

Just a few piictures of the girls!

Emma loves her Uncle David

Spring Break

The girls and I drove to Alvarado to visit Uncle David, Aunt Julia, and Nana over Spring Break. We had a Princess birthday party for the girls since the family couldn't be at their real parties in Beeville. I chopped off my hair also. When we came back from Alvarado Pedro got home from working. We went to the San Antonio Zoo Thursday and the Riverwalk Thursday night to eat. Friday we had our first venture to Sea World. It was great. We plan to go every time Daddy is home from working. Saturday was Libby's 3rd Brithday party at our house. It was a Strawberry Shortcake party. We had an Easter Egg hunt, and played our pool slide. Libby got a new bike for her birthday from her Daddy. Sunday was Easter and then Spring Break was over. Pedro is back at work and I'm back at school. Hope all is well with everyone.

Like mother like daughter

Last week Libby went with me to a tennis tournament. I'm not coaching tennis this year, and I miss it, but I filled for the tennis coach. Libby enjoyed sitting in her chair next to mommy learning to play and coach. The next day I had to go to a track meet, which I don't coach either, filling in again. Libby and Emma didn't go, they stayed with their favorite Tia Estella.

Happy 1st Birthday Emma!

This past weekend we celebrated Emma turning 1. We had a Sesame Street party Sunday at the house. Monday we went Corpus to go out to eat at TGIFridays. That's our traditional 1 year birthday dinner celebration place. We also went to walk the beach and play at Cole Park.

The girls and I have enjoyed having daddy home for the week. We hadn't seen him in three weeks b/c of his new job. Pedro enjoyed keeping the girls home from day care and I stayed busy with basketball. I'll enjoy having the Spring off from coaching assignments. More time for my girls!

Everything is good in our lives today!

Libby and Emma

Libby will turn 3 in March and Emma will turn 1 in February. Their size is not much difference even though they are 2 years apart. Libby weighs 5 more pounds and is only 6 more inches than baby sister Emma. Pedro is off working for about a month and half, so I'm being a single mother, and let me tell you it is tough. I have more respect for single parents now. I'm coaching freshmen basketball right now. We have two and half more weeks and then I'll be off from coaching duties until volleyball next year. I will miss coaching tennis, but I need time for my girls at home.
