fishing

               Yesterday we took advantage of the mild weather and went fishing at a local park.

Ava loves fishing just like her brothers.

Aiden kept getting his fishing line stuck in the weeds.

Dario was intent on catching a fish, unfortunately

no one caught anything.

Ethan came along and had more fun pretending

to fight alligators than fishing.

Laila enjoyed sitting and watching everyone.

happy friday!

After a miserable week, I'm so glad it's Friday! Everyone here was sick was with a horrible stomach virus, that spread like wild fire. Aiden and Laila were the first ones to get sick. They were hit the hardest. Both of them were throwing up ALL night long, about every 30 minutes. I have never seen anyone throw up that much! Luckily the next day they felt better. The next day Dario was sick. Then, the next day both Ava and I were sick. Then, the next day Brian was sick. Hopefully that is last we'll see of that nasty bug and everyone will be healthy for a couple of weeks!

silly laila

I love two years old, it is such a cute, funny age. The other day Aiden came up to me and told me that he had a splinter in his finger. Laila overheard him and ran up to me and dramatically said, "mommy, I have a splinter in my eye!" Ouch!

New Year's Day

On New Year's day we went to Brazos Bend State Park with my family. It was great weather and the park was filled with huge old oak trees and alligators! I hadn't been there since I was a child and had forgotten how beautiful the park was. It was lots of fun being out with family, enjoying nature. Afterwards we had a big New Year's dinner complete with ham, black eyed peas and mom's homemade pies. It was a great start to the new year!
