Happy Birthday MOM-WOW-MOM!

We were able to make a quick trip up to celebrate my mom's birthday.  I am so glad we did.  We had so much fun with everybody, even if it was for less than 24 hours.
Happy Birthday Mom/Mimi!!  We love you so much, and you deserve nothing but the Best!!

We love the Esparzas Patio!  This has been around in Good 'ole Historic Grapevine as long as I can remember!!  We all had fun just hanging enjoying each other's company and a few skinny margs :)

Good 'ole Gisters.  I was slightly offended that all of Alison's comments had to do with how beautiful her hair was ... I mean, come on people, whats the matter with some patio hair!!! :)

 You always need a maraca, especially at Esparza;s!

 Eli love all animals and will tell you every time he is around them.  He practically trys to jump out of our arms to be with them.  Needless to say, it was fun to be home and have him really experience the horses, cows, alpacas, dogs, you name it!

 Ryder and Eli, or "Eye-Lie" as Ryder says (Love it!).  These two are still inseparable.  True Cousin love!

 There is always a family jam band going on.  Everybody grab and instrument and go!

Eli's Bluebonnet Fun

There was a little patch on the trails by our house, so we decided to have a little fun!  It was hard to get him to look at the camera.  He just wanted to pick everything around him :)

The Home Life

Just some random and fun pictures from around the house and our little free time that we have.  Love that everything is starting to come together at the house.

 He is riding like a big boy now!   He loves his new view and all of our walks around the neighborhood.  I know he is more comfortable, but I miss the old way when we could like at each other and talk the whole time.

 Poor boy was exhausted and falling asleep during dinner.

 The Garden is going great.  So far we have only eaten the asparagus, but our peppers and tomatoes are starting to flourish.  Can't wait!

 Does anybody know what this plant it?  This came with the house, and the bulb is a few weeks old.  The one on the left has a few small bulbs that are growing.

 My man hard at work!

 First Bell pepper of the season

Happy Boy just hanging out!

 Love our morning cuddles, especially when we do not have anything planned for the first few hours! So special to me, when we can just be and hang out first thing in the morning as a little family

 Oh yeah, and Eli loves phones (as he is trying to reach for it here) :)

I think we might just bypass the whole sippy cup thing and go right to CamelBack waterbottles.  He loves it when Derek is using one.  He wants to drink out of it so bad

Giblings Bluebonnet Session

No need to caption these pictures ... they speak for themselves :)

 Ladies - line right up!  Single brother available :)

Easter 2015

Easter was a little different this year for us.  We moved Easter weekend, and Eli was so sick and getting in his 2 top teeth at the same time.  So nothing was working right on him. Because of that, we didn't even get to attend our service.  I was pretty bummed, but my mom had the brilliant idea to stream their Easter service online, and it was great that we could see Alison worshiping as well.  Win-win for everybody!

 My little duck taking an Easter nap.  So sweet.

 My Easter Iris again :)

 You always need a baby duck at Easter!!  Still loving this duck jacket that Ryder Roo inspired us to get.  It was actually the perfect jacket since we had a little cold front come in!
