A Couple of Firsts

On July 21, Austin finally said "momma!" I was so excited!! It was actually directed to me too! All it took was a day with dad. Go figure. Then on that Friday, July 23, she got her first haircut. We cut all her little wispies off and her hair looks so cute and healthy now!

She says "buh" for book and "banca" for blankie. I also think she has tried to say "milk." She stopped her bottles completely on Sunday, July 25th and is down to one nap a day. OH MY GOSH!!! I now have a toddler, no longer a baby! I'm gonna go cry now: toddler and Kindergartner...I'm officially old! I love being a mother and I can't wait to update on the next firsts.

New found friendships

I met Sarah last year at school. She taught 4th grade bilingual and I was 2nd grade bilingual. We didn't really talk much last year for whatever reason. This year though, we became close. We share opinions, are honest, and can tell each other anything. She is an amazing individual and teacher. She really looks after her kiddos. She is the most real person I know. She is selfless and I love her random gifts and surprises she gets me because they come from the heart. I will miss her much next year at school. Actually, she is already missed! I love her Gluten-free heart!

Katie, Heather, and Darby were the other close friendships I made this year. I felt like I could

tell them anything at anytime. I feel like they are the kind of people that would also tell me the honest truth about anything I ask of them. Actually, I expect that and respect it! They are all

awesome teachers that I admire and look up to. Katie is an awesome person that always makes me smile. I can't imagine her being mad. She is so sweet and knows how to booty bump!

Heather doesn't have an unorganized bone in her body. She is the cleanest most organized person ever. Hopefully it will rub off on me next year. She makes me laugh and we can talk about boys (hers of course) for days. I will tell her the truth though! ;) Darby is fun, fun, fun.

Well, they all are, or they couldn't be my friends! :) She, along with all the other girls, is also selfless. She deserves the best! She is my belching partner and the other "Dirty D."

Well all I gotta say is thanks to these girls for being there for me this past year and listening to

all my problem and concerns and giving me the best advice. Love you girls!

Catching up on Pictures/Videos...WSE MJ Talent Show

Here are some pictures of our talent show. We were awesome!

Here is the video of our Teacher Dance. The kids loved it! They even came and got autographs from us afterwards.

Technology, AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!

So it's been a while since I have posted anything and the reason is TECHNOLOGY!! We have a laptop that has not been working and at this moment I am sitting on the floor in my room because we have a router that is not working. Do I have money for this? Of course not! I also had to burn CD's with pictures so I could delete pictures off my computer because they were taking up too much memory.

So we have done many things this summer including going to Port Aransas with Chris's parents and family and going to South Padre Island with my family. On the way home from Padre, we ate at one of my friends from high school's restaurants in Harlingen called La Playa. If you haven't been there, oh my goodness, it was yummy! I think he's opening one up in Georgetown in the next couple of weeks. Next trip is Chris going to Louisiana for his dad's 65th birthday where he will win enough money for me to spend in San Diego the first weekend in August for Rebecca's bachelorette party trip. We are gonna learn how to surf! I'm excited!

This summer Cadyn has learned to tie shoes and has been practicing how to spell and math facts. We practice problem solving skills all the time to get her more prepared for Kindergarten in August. She also went to cooking class the first week of July and learned how to make BBQ Chicken Enchiladas and some cookies and streusel with berry sauce. Then she got Strep Throat! Boo! At least it was before we went on our vacation.

Austin started walking at the beginning of June. She now wants to be down walking everywhere. If there are stairs, she is on them (that's how I get my exercise). She loves giving kisses and even says "muah" when she does it. Austin says a couple of words clearly: Pepper, Daddy, Bye Bye, and Cadyn. Yeah that's right...no "momma" yet. When we went to South Padre, the would say "Tata" for "Aita" and "Tato" for "Aito." You know my parents melted! They also loved her "Uh Oh" face. Cadyn takes care of her all the time and Austin loves her big sister just as much!! It is precious!

Well, for now that is it. I will post pictures up soon since I have to charge up my laptop now. Hope all is well and take care!
