Oh- and I am pregnant...with another BOY!!!

Thats right;) gotta love it! I hope everyone is having a nice laugh and I am glad to be the one to provide that opportunity. I am still laughing myself...mostly because I would never have guessed in a million years that I would have all boys. I guess I need to be toughened up a little bit. I took a moment to mourn the loss of a little mini-me, and that moment was a wee bit sad...but now I am ready- bring it on! they will always have playmates- and when they are playing soccer they have teams, no sissy girls to whine at them or to make them weak:) I do not have to rethink the game room- all superheros and sports- and lets face it, do I really WANT to split shopping time with another girl? ok maybe, but it will be fun to really be the only princess/queen/girly girl, right???

more catch up..

More of the same with the little ones. Every day pierce and Cash become better friends- or should I say partners in crime. maybe one day they will let Lex in on their club..but for now he still serves the very important role of "intruder" "baby monster" or "the ghost"- whichever one the boys are fighting or running away from that day. I can't help but laugh..I just hope its not creating issues for the little guy. We are still way into superheros and cars- and that is ALL. It actually makes it pretty easy for me. I love my angels:)

Look at the concentration here..

do you think he can see it now?

Someone looks a little bit chunky in this picture and its not Cash..

The famous 'choke' move..

the wrestling continues

and Cash ends up on top!!! good round boys, good round..

Arboretum

This may have been before el Sal.. but we went..and thats all that matters:) We went with my mom and grandma and a few friends to the dallas arboretum- and i loved it! I must be living under a rock because I had never been and it was so fun! the kids can just run and play and then we had a picnic lunch and they ran around some more- it was perfect weather, too. Cant wait for the weather to cool off so we can go again...

El Salvador....finally:)

Ok so it has been a couple of months...better late than never! We took the boys to El Salvador in May for a week- we wanted to take them to the beach and we were overdue for a visit anyway- and My little niece emily was getting baptized. We stayed a few days at his aunt's house and then took off for her beach house for the rest of the week- thank you Lila!!!! Needless to say the boys had a BLAST- at the beach with cousins and aba and papu? what could be more fun?:) I don't think there is a better place for my boys right now. They Love the beach; they could play all day in the sand alone- but then they have the waves to chase them, there were people walking by that had been catching fish and they let us have one- that was definitely the highlight for Cash, we put it in a bucket with water and I think he sat there and poked it for 8 hours- he probably finished him off..and there were crabs! everwhere! we found this one in the pool- and then we put a couple more in a huge bin...wait that might have been the highlight...Now, for me, I can definitely say that the best part was having breakfast lunch and dinner brought to me every day. (you know you're a fatty when...:) My kids are still talking about it and are so excited to go back. Until next time...

The hammocks were another favorite part...

Cash in his "gobbles"..Oh my gosh this was so funny! He put these things on and would not take them off- and they squished his face so much i am surprised he could breath..

Ahhhh, uncle B...we miss you!!

The boys with cousin Jake

Love this beach house..

Oh- and that in the background is the city- they have the most amazing view..

ea

I am trying desperately to catch up!

I don't think it has ever gotten this bad. I have now had to upload like over 1000 pictures and go through and remember the past few months- thats too much to ask of a mother of 3 animals!:) So that we do not forget, some cute things the boys have said: Cash drew a squiggly line/circle/scribble and when I asked him what it was he said it was "Jenus".. his word for Jesus:) I got out the spot shot to clean a stain on the carpet ( it looks like a spray paint bottle) and pierce asked me if i was going to do "spray on shoes" (cloudy with a chance of meatballs)...

Its the cute moments that keep me going in the times when they get in trouble together and start saying to eachother " throw that ball at mommies head so it will break" or "we're going to break you up"...where did they learn this? It seems shocking, I know- but i think they still love me?

Lex's birthday pics

Birthday cont'd... It was super fun- and the boys could eat cupcakes(frosting only) all day!

Lex's 1st Birthday...almost four months late:)

My baby boy Lex had his first birthday May 7...he is (and was also in may) such a big boy and growing so old every day! I swear he seems so much older than my other boys at age 1! He knows how to effectively comunicate- even if it is through grunts and screams...and he has a sense of humor that matches the other monsters. They will all wrestle together on the floor and Lex will actually be laughing- I guess I am lucky that the little guy is trying to hold his own in our crazy house!
