Fouth and Family

Some how I convinced my family to come to good ole Kingsville Texas for the 4th! The whole town consist of about two major street. One fast food lane and the other 4 stores down town. 8 adults 4 kids and 3 dogs all packed away in one house. Not only did we survive with out killing each other, we also had a blast. We were only missing Larry but thought of him often. We had beer, wine, and ammo (fireworks) too! Saturday we ventured to the beach to see the Texas State Aquarium. Way too many people and too many little guys. The incidence were minimal, some crying, a little yelling, and a whole lot of puke! I'm so glad we all got together for this. Can't wait until the next go round :) It may be cow town, but it's our town now!

Pool Fun :)

He sits, He stands, He wobbles

Yesterday Maverick started standing in one spot for about 15 seconds. Today He stood next to daddy and I reached out my arms inviting him to come to me and he took two wobbly steps over!!!!! Jesse and I just looked at each other and we all started laughing, well we laughed Maverick has this excited scream he lets out, it was AWESOME! This little boy needs to slow down! He is growing up way to fast!

Happy 1st Father's Day Daddy

Goodbye McAllen, Hello Kingsville!

Summer has officially begun! We made the move to Kingsville on June 5th and we have been settling in nicely. Let me tell you it was hard to leave Mimi, PawPaw and my friends, and we just had to go back in visit 6 days later. Life in Kingsville is different, but we are already making friends and finding lots of ways to stay busy. Maverick and I are in a Mommy and me swim class. He is the only boy but the girls just love him. He is such a little fish! He dunks his head underwater twice during class time and has night cried yet! Sadly tomorrow is our last day but we have already made play dates with some of the girls.

Everyone in this town has a baby around his age! It's great, I just wish he had another little male friend to play with also. He has become a little dare devil within the last couple of days. He climbs up his toys, scales walls, and bookshelves when I turn my back for two seconds. No accidents yet THANK GOD! Maverick is crawling like crazy and we are sure he will be walking soon (Please not too soon!) He is hard enough to catch now!

These photos are a little bit of the first summer 2009 action. Everything from goodbyes to Mimi, PawPaw, and friends to crazy basket head wearing. I hope you enjoy them and much as I enjoy taking them. More to come soon. We are hoping Summer 2009 is a long one!

7 Month Monster!

Maverick is turning 7 months tomorrow. Where does the time go? I can't believe I will be planning his first birthday in 5 months. Don't blink your eyes because you will miss something. His Mimi swears he changes so much when she doesn't see him for a day or two. He's like a whole new baby. Maverick is getting such a personality. He is a happy baby morning, noon, and night. He laughs in the morning when he wakes up, and stays that way pretty much all day. He is crawling now and getting into everything. He pulls himself up, and loves to stand. Jesse and I are sure it won't be long before he takes his first steps. We are packing all weekend, this will be our last weekend in Edinburg. It's kind of sad packing up Maverick's first bedroom. Jesse and I worked so hard to make it perfect for him. I'll just have to rework it over there in Kingsville.

I woke up to Maverick patting me in the face this morning. This is my little 7 month monster...

Maverick Anthony & Parker Danger Baptism 05-09-09

This blessed day came together just as God planned. Everything was beautiful, and it was the least stressful event ever! On the night Jesse and I got married (07-07-07) My brother Charlie and his beautiful wife April asked Jesse and I to be the God Parents of their sweet boy Parker Danger. We were so excited and couldn't believe they picked us to be his God Parents. Flash forward a year and a half later we had our little angel Maverick Anthony. We decided a double baptism is just what we needed and that Charlie and April must be the God Parents of our son. After much deliberation and struggle Jesse's superwomen mom put this wonderful event together for us in Nuevo Progreso Mexico. It is a day I will never in my entire life forget. God is good! It was so moving to see these little guys baptized. Mother's day was the next day, and I'm so glad my family was around to share it with me. Maverick is the greatest gift!
