St Thomas, part III

Are you tired of photos from St Thomas yet? If you are, too freaking bad. ;) Miguelito and William had quite a bit of fun playing in a “just-their-size” laundry bushel one drizzly morning. They had a blast climbing in and out, and pushing it all around the villa. They were in a photo taking mood and happily let me take photos of them. It was great!

But enough, I’m done.

Miguelito kept saying “Mommy turn” until I took a self portrait of myself.

William and his chair. He would crawl under it, bump his head, cry, I would pull him out, and then he would do it again and again and again.

St Thomas, part I

Two weeks in paradise with the husband, Miguelito and William plus Sweetie joined us for a week. It was pure bliss until a tremendous thunderstorm one night took out the internet and cable for a few days and lightening struck the elevator in our building (we were on the 3rd floor), William got croup and a sinus infection, Miguelito got double ear infections, and I got a cold. Sounds bad, but we still managed to have an awesome time.

You for Scuba?

Miguel did quite a bit of scuba diving while we were on vacation in St Thomas. I did not get to partake in the diving adventures because someone had to entertain the little ones. ;)

I have no freaking clue what he is doing here. Care to explain, husband?

Abbott Park

One of our favorite parks is Abbott Park. There are lots of different play structures to keep the little ones happy and a few large shady oak trees to keep Mommy cool. William loves the swing, which really cracks me up since Miguel hated the swing as a baby.

Christmas and a Birthday!

William, Miguel, and I drove to Baton Rouge last week while the husband was off playing ubergeek in Los Angeles at a Microsoft conference. We had a blast hanging out with family, and, of course, the boys (and me) were spoiled rotten. We celebrated my 32nd birthday too!

One afternoon while William was napping, Miguelito and I decorated a gingerbread house. I had bought the kit during the holidays but then he ended up sick with croup and William landed in the hospital for a week with RSV. It was Christmas in May!

Frosting is awesome!

002

One candy for the house…

and one candy for me!

Hello, sweet William!

Carnival at Miguel’s MDO

I kind of forgot to blog about the carnival at Miguel’s MDO a couple of weekends ago. Oops! Miguel had a blast jumping in the bounce house and riding the train with Daddy. He was not so keen on the ponies, and he made it quite known he was not going to go for a ride.

Playing at the Arboretum

Miguel, William, and I went to the Dallas Arboretum this morning to visit the Storybook Playhouses and have a picnic lunch. It was a beautiful day, and Miguel had a great time running around while William enjoyed the views from the stroller.

Miguel missed the “No Climbing” sign

006

Miguel adored all the letters in “The Little Prince” house

Anyone home?

016

Peek-a-boo I see you!

020

Hi happy boy!

034

Bye, Mommy!

059

Oh, Miguel, left his shiny water bottle. I. must. get. it.

065

I think I can.

068

Almost. Keep trying.

069

Ah, I got it!

073

I see you, Mommy!

Bluebonnets…it’s a Texas thing!

You can’t live in Texas and raise children here and not take their photos each Spring in the bluebonnets. I heard about an awesome patch of bluebonnets not too far from our house, and was so excited to take the boys there for photos. It was quite the challenge since Miguelito wanted to run around while William did his best to scoot to the edge of his blanket and try to eat dirt. Thankfully, my friend brought M&Ms to bribe her toddler with and shared with Miguelito, so I was able to get a couple of decent photos.

And in an effort to appease Sweetie and the rest of the Baton Rouge gang, get ready for lots and lots of photos!
