Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

       We started the week with our friends in a class at the zoo called Zootennial Buddies. There was a read aloud, some center activities and we got to meet two snakes. 

     Jeffrey and I haven't been feeling very well this week and took it slow and did a lot of playing at home.

 More bear crawl up the driveway!

 playing with Lacey

He thinks it's funny to put different objects on his head. I thought this one was particularly cute.

Getting good on his "bike!"

 

     We ended the week in an wonderful way, watching Lainey STAR in The Wizard of Oz. She was the Wicked Witch and completely stole the show!!! She amazes all of us with her ease of being on stage. Her voice and comedic timing are way beyond her years! Good show, Lainey! You definitely "shine shined!!!"

     Last Thursday, we had a nice night out at Brant's company's 50th anniversary party. Then on Friday, J and I went with Gigi to the Magik Theater to see Pinocchio. J-bird relaxed in my lap and watched the whole show! Great audience member, clapping and laughing. When Pinocchio went into the whale's mouth to save his father, Jeffrey said loudly, in a quiet moment, "Dada!" All the field trip kids turned around and stared at us. Funny stuff. After the show we went to Rosario's for lunch and to the San Antonio Museum of Art where J enjoyed growling at the wildlife exhibit as well as some of the other artwork! It was another great San Antonio day!

A Marvelous Mother's Day

     We had a very special Mother's Day today. We dedicated Jeffrey at church and promised that he would know God's love as he grows and then we spent the day with both our amazing mothers.

     Brant woke up early and went to get yummy breakfast tacos. While eating them, he gave me a very special gift-a cross necklace with Jeffrey's birthstone in the center. Perfect for the occasion. His parents came here and we met my family at church for a beautiful service.

     After church, we went out to the columbarium to where Doc's ashes are. I SO miss him. He would have been so proud to have been there with us today...and he WAS with us today...

 

     After church we went to Mom's house and had such a great ham dinner and a great visit. Thank you, Mom, (Gigi,) for making this Mother's Day so special!

Fiesta y Mas!

     Viva Fiesta! We celebrated Fiesta by going to the King William Fair with Gigi. We got there very early, watched the wonderful parade, (the best because it's smaller, relaxed and fun,) ate gorditas and fish tacos and wondered around the art booths. 

Go Spurs Go! Thanks Kristina for this precious outfit! We needed it! Great timing! 

Couples night out-great fun with some of our new friends, other baby boy mamas and daddies

 Gigi got a pool for Jeffrey. We watched him splash and splash, squat, stand and sit!

 

 One of our sweet church friends gave Jeffrey this lamb that plays "Jesus Loves Me." In the past month, he's been pointing to it, "asking" me to get it down off the shelf almost daily. He gives it (and all of his stuffed animals and puppets,) a HUGE hug and buries his face in them when he gets them. This one seems to be his favorite. We sing "Jesus Loves Me" with it every night and I finally let him sleep with it. Now he sleeps with it every night and every nap. His bedtime friend. So sweet.

     I picked up a gift card at a spa for a friend that is going through a hard time and took Jeffrey in with me. There was nice, calming spa music on and he sang his little heart out while waiting patiently. They loved it,...(I think!...I sure did! Precious, melt my heart!)

Who needs a pack-n-play? Best play pen is here while Mama gets dressed!

 Huggin' it out. Sweet boys.

 These were hard to take. Blame it on Aunt Shari! It was her idea!
