Practice

Yesterday Quinn and I watched a good friend's baby, Easton.  It was good practice for us both to have a baby in the house!  He is such a good little boy and Quinn was so ecstatic about helping him drink his bottles, change his diapers, eat his baby foods, and play with his toys.  She did have a little meltdown when it was time for her to take a nap since he was still awake and playing.  She cried herself to sleep saying "I'm all done with my bed!  I need to get out!."  I was so proud of her for staying in bed and not getting out, especially when she knew we were having fun with her toys! 

Here is a picture of us on a walk in our new double stroller:  This thing will surely come in handy in a couple of months!

Weekend at a Glance

Wow- June has been one busy month! Our calendar is literally full almost every weekend in June. This weekend we had a great time celebrating Jaime's Mom's retirement and spending time with her sisters from Tennessee. Here are a couple pictures from our fun filled weekend:

A girl can never have too many accessories, right? 

Speaking of accessories- Quinny found these fake glasses that I used to wear on the 50th day of school when I was teaching 1st grade- she wore them all weekend!  To Lowes, HEB, the mall, everywhere!

Good times at the mall!

At Jaime's parents for the retirement party.  Jaime's mom is wearing the hawaiian lay. :)



Jaime and his aunts.  I'm sure now you know where Quinn's blue eyes and light hair comes from!

 It was great to see family and celebrate Jaime's mom!  Everything on our end seems to be going pretty well.  Little baby Joshua is moving around quite a bit and is growing more and more.  I pulled a muscle in my back on Thursday so I've been resting and trying to take care of that.  We also put Quinn in her toddler bed now since I think part of my back problems were coming from trying to get her in and out of her crib every day.  She loves her "big girl bed" as she calls it and has continued to nap and sleep through the night in it with no problem.  She still waits for me to go get her when she wakes up- I hope she can keep this up especially when the baby comes!

Prayer Warriors Needed

My sister and husband lost a very dear friend of theirs today, Jeff Gomez.  It appears as though he had an undetected brain tumor and fell early on Sunday morning causing severe brain damage.  He was on life support until today.  I am so deeply saddened for his family and friends as it is much too early to be letting go of such a vibrant, young, and full of life person.  Please send any prayers to all of them.  Thank you.

Brushy Creek Splash Park

What a fun place for kids! Brushy Creek park really is so beautiful. It has a great splash park, playground, and walking path. The day we were here really was perfect as there were not too many other kids. Here are a few pictures of Quinn, the only child who managed to stay dry in a park full of water!

A Little of Lately

I have fallen behind in my blog posting punctuality- here are a couple pictures from this past week:

Yummers, corn!  This expression might sum up how she feels about most food- ecstatic!

Ready for fun at Terra Burger- the coolest little place that serves organic burgers, fries, shakes AND has a fabulous splash pad and playground.

Quinn's New House

We got some new chairs for our dining table:

And Quinn got a new house to hang out in:

Had we known this box was going to be so entertaining, we would've never invested in her outdoor playhouse. :)

Gym-tastic!

Quinn started gymnastics at the YMCA back in March and has thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.  Three of her little gal pals from our playgroup are in it as well and they all just have a great time exploring, being silly, jumping, running, and trying out new things.  This past Monday was our last class as until August so we took a couple pictures of the Little Miss in action.  In June we'll start swimming lessons at the YMCA and I just know she'll love that too!

She says "Yee Haw!!" everytime she gets on the pommel horse. 

Jaime and I have both noticed that Quinn has become more agile and coordinated and we think gymnastics has helped with this.  We will definitely be signing up again in August!
