Mardi Gras 2010

So, I realized I haven't posted in a long time and thought I should post something. We haven't been up to much, mostly work and doing things with the kids. This weekend was Mardi Gras.

We had alot of fun! Charlie was a little scared of the motorcycles in the parades, but he soon got over that. He loved to dance to the music the floats were playing and yell at the people with his hands outstretched for beads. It was really cute! However, Adam missed all of it. He went to work Saturday morning at 6 am and didn't get off of work until 6 am Sunday. He also missed the parade on Friday night because he was still working and the parade Sunday afternoon because he was sleeping. Well, there will be many years of Mardi Gras to come. Gabi got a ton of beads and she was not scared to go up to the floats and beg for beads. :) We didn't go into the carnival this year because I thought it was too cold to have the kids out there for that long.
This was also Cheyenne's first Mardi Gras! Chelsea had her dressed up and made her a shirt that said "Mardi Gras Princess."
I can't wait for next year!

Space Center Houston 9-19-09

So, I realized that I hadn't updated my blog in a while. I've been busy, sorry :) Gabi and I went last weekend with Girlscouts to Space Center Houston. We had a blast! We got to spend the night at the Space Center and do all sorts of activities until midnight and then get up and take a tour and do more stuff. It was great! We learned all about astronauts and the planets. Gabi made a necklace that represents how far apart the planets are, a paper rocket, a puzzle shaped like an astronaut and a little cardboard thing that helps her see the constellations. We got to see the Mission Control Room and the place where the astronauts do their training. We also got to see an old rocket that had actually been used. Here's a few pictures of the weekend.

Girlscout Garden Party

Last weekend Gabi's Girlscout troop had a Garden Party at Port Neches Splash Park. We had alot of fun. Charlie loved the sprinklers. They got to show off their flowers that they had grown and their worm farms. Gabi didn't do a worm farm though, she had a lady bug farm. She even found a white one!



This week the only thing that happened was my wisdom tooth surgery. It went fine, I'm still a little sore and swollen though.
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!

It's been a while since I have blogged, so I have alot of catching up to do. In the time that I haven't blogged, we have done alot of stuff. We've had Gabi's birthday, gone to Galveston a couple of times, Easter and some other stuff that I can't remember at the moment. For Gabi's birthday we got her 2 new family members-guinea pigs! Their names are Lenny & Bugsy. Lenny is brown & white and Bugsy is grey & white. They're really cute! We had a petting zoo for her party and everyone loved it! I got alot of compliments on how much fun it was.

Charlie has started crawling and pulling up on things. He also has 2 more teeth on top (that's a total of 4). He is starting to get into everything! I just had to pull away a mangled magazine from him. After which he spit up a piece of paper from the magazine. I really need to baby-proof the house better!

When we were in Galveston we took the kids to the aquarium. They loved it! Charlie especially liked the penguins and the sharks. Gabi's favorite was the penguins also. We drove through Bolivar on the way to and from Galveston. It's still a big mess. It had rained and there was flooding everywhere because of the changed landscape.

I'll try to blog more, but my life is pretty hectic right now. Charlie is still not sleeping all night, so I'm trying to go to bed earlier to make up for it. He woke up 3 times last night!

Love ya'll!

Daddy/Daughter Dance





Well, Gabi and Adam had their Father/Daughter dance last Friday night. Gabi really enjoyed getting dressed up and having her hair and makeup done. However, when they got to the dance, Gabi didn't want to do anything. Adam said that she wouldn't dance and she wouldn't talk to anyone. So, maybe next year she'll do better. It was a fun experience though. I got to stay home and eat pizza and watch Mama Mia with Vicki (Adam's mom). :)

Last Saturday (Valentine's Day) we went to Yolyanne and Kenneth's wedding. We had alot of fun! Charlie was amazed at all the decorations. Shelby and Gabi loved that there was a candy table with a chocolate fountain in the center. I thought it was really pretty. Everything was pink and red with hearts. I thought it was very fitting for Valentine's Day. The next day we had Christina's baby shower. We had alot of fun there too. We can't wait to meet Miss Savanna Kate Ceravolo!

World Thinking Day




Last Saturday was the World Thinking Day Celebration for Girlscouts. Each troop was assigned a different country that they had to learn about. Then each troop had to set up a booth for their country and give out things. We had the Phillippines. We gave out samples of Chicken Adobo. It was really good, Gabi didn't like it though. We had alot of fun! Gabi has started selling Girlscout cookies too! (if anyone is interested in buying some, let me know) In March she will be going on her first campout! (I will be going too)
