more pictures from Chili's

My Dad sure did take a lot of pictures. I'm glad he did because I didn't take much.

Hope you guys enjoyed the pics. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us Dad. Love you!

My Handsome Boys!

Last Friday we had the boys pictures taken and we were very pleased with the results. They took about 101 photos. Here are some pictures that we did not purchase. They were all so good. We plan on sending out some pics of the boys to our families soon. Hope you enjoy these.

Nicholas' Baptism

Okay, it has been a couple of weeks since the last post. Time certainly flies! Saturday was a special occasion for us as Nicholas was baptized. It was really neat seeing Nicholas and Aaron in their white clothes preparing for the ceremony. I think Aaron was more nervous than Nicholas.
Here is a picture of my boys after the baptism. Aaron's smile has changed from the tight lipped grin to more of a smirk. Nicholas is hoping that he will be as tall as his Daddy.

Here is a picture of almost the entire gang. Missing are Rob (Chrissy's husband) and PJ (my sister) and her daughter Alex. She had left to pick up her two boys, Thomas and Phillip so they could join us at the restaurant.

After the ceremony we all went to Chili's for lunch. It was very nice to have both families come together to celebrate Nicholas' Special Day. Aaron and I are very lucky to have family that live close and love and support us.

Springtime in Texas

Spring has officially sprung in Texas. Friday we were expecting some severe thunderstorms but ended up with a little extra. The hail that hit our house and cars was just shy of golfball size. We were fortunate as a tornado hit about eight miles to our south and another funnel cloud was spotted about four miles away.
After the storm passed, Aaron went out to survey the roof and to collect hailstones.

Going to the park with Gramma

It was such a nice day. Gramma Medeiros enjoyed going to the park with us. Eric was asleep most of the time. Gramma gave Eric hugs & kisses when he woke up.

This was Nicholas first time to play at this park. He had a blast!!!

He had fun climbing to the top.

Can you find Nicholas?

Gramma said she wants to come back again. I told you this is one of my favorite parks. So much to do and the kids love it. Carter had fun also. He made some friends at the park.

9 Months Old

Today my little cutie turned 9 months old. He likes playing with Carter's cars, like this gold hummer. Then he likes to chew on it like everything else. No tooth yet!! Just teething and drooling a lot.

Eric started crawling last Friday. It's so fun to watch him crawl and grunt at the same time.

He loves making funny noises with his mouth. It's really cute. His Mommy and Daddy loves him so much. Nick and Carter adore him. They enjoy playing with Eric.

Thai Water Festival

Sunday morning my family went to the Thai Water Festival in Keller.

Thai Temple It's a tradition to pour water on the statue monks and Buddha for good luck.

When I was done pouring water on the monks. I noticed Aaron taking his shoes off to do the same thing I was. At that moment I felt proud to have a wonderful husband who wanted to be involved with part of my culture. I LOVE him!!

Then we turn around to see Nick taking his shoes off. How sweet was that. I'm going cry. Today was a special day for our family. This was the first time that we all got together with our kids to attend the water festival. My Mom & Dad were so happy.

Because of the cold weather we didn't get to pour water or use the water guns. In a couple of weeks we plan on going to another water festival in Saginaw. Hopefully, the weather will be warmer. The kids are looking forward to using their water guns.

Easter Get-Together

Sunday evening we went to my parents house for dinner. Mom made homemade stew. It was yummy to my tummy. Not to brag but my Mom is a great cook. We then had a Easter Egg Hunt for the kids.

Nick and Carter found an egg at the same time. Nick was sweet to give it to his little brother.
Carter needed some help from his Daddy. He wanted that yellow egg before anyone got to it.
During the Easter Egg Hunt Eric was inside the house sleeping. All of our boys had a fun Easter day. I love spending time with family. We had a awesome day.

Easter Morning

Eric was awake before his brother. I just love this picture of him.

Nick and Carter finally woke up to get their Easter gift. They both got a super soaker water gun, chalks for drawing on the sidewalk and some candies.

Birthday Parties

Saturday afternoon we went to Nicholas' friend birthday party in Southlake. It was held in a indoor soccer arena. They boys played soccer for a while against the parents. Aaron was worn out. I got lucky and sat down with Eric to watch the game. The boys then later played dodge ball. Carter had fun playing with his friend Zane(Shaun's little brother) on the field. Nicholas is wearing a white shirt standing next to Shaun.
After the party we rushed to Saginaw for Emily's birthday party. I don't think she likes chocolate. We had good time at the party.

Emily looks so cute in her dress. She is going to love shopping for clothes.

more pics from the party

Awwww, that so sweet!! Emily is sharing her Elmo with Carter. All the kids had fun playing with the hut/tunnel.
