Boys will be boys

Samuel is finally walking for the most part. He will get up and walk and then decide to crawl and drop down to his knees. He still likes to hold on to at least one hand when he wants to go fast. He started walking at 13 months.

Tarren kept trying to knock him over when he was first trying to walk, but after getting in trouble for it a couple of times he has stopped. They love to play together, but they also like to fight over things. One thing in particular is the toy car. Every now and then they will have a sweet brotherly love where Tarren will push Samuel around in the car or they will sit in the car together.

They LOVE to play in the balls. That room is such a mess after they play in there, but it keeps them busy for hours.

Park/Anna's Bday

So, this summer I have been working my butt off to get back into shape after Samuel. I found it way harder to lose the weight this time around. I think it is because with Samuel I did nothing but eat. When I was pregnant with Tarren, I excercised somewhat and ate pretty healthy. I dropped the weight within a few months. Samuel it has taken me 13 months. When we decide to get pregnant with a third one, I am going to go hardcore on the exercise and eat way healthy and see how the outcome is after I have the baby. I think it will be way easier to get back to my original weight. Anyways, I have been running about 4 times a week and I take the kids in a double stroller. After I am done jogging, I will let them play at the park. One time, we had a bunch of old bread so I let them feed the ducks. I love being so close to a jogging park!

The ducks are very brave and they started to chase after Tarren to try and get the bread. It was quite funny! Tarren loves to throw rocks in the water.

We went to Anna's Bday party in Dayton. It was really cute. They had a winnie the pooh theme and so the kids all got character headbands with ears on them. They had a see-saw there. I have not seen a see-saw like this since I was a kid. So, it was fun to take a ride on...well kind of. I forgot how uncomfortable your butt gets. :)

Beach Trip and Fourth of July

We went to down to Galveston to go to the beach and enjoy a little sun. We decieded to rent a bicycle and take a ride along the seawall. I really liked the bike because it had two kids seats on front. The kids seemed to enjoy it for the most part, but I think Spencer had the most fun. He was a pedaling maniac!


We went down to the beach and took a dip in the water. Tarren enjoyed playing in the water, Spencer built a sand castle and Samuel and I ended up walking back and forth up and down the beach.

Samuel loved to sit and chill, but I caught him eating the sand quite a bit.

We went to "The Spot" to get something to eat. It was very yummy!

JULY 4TH

We went to the Kemah Boardwalk to see the fireworks and feed the stingrays.

Tarren played in the little water spout splash zone they have.

We fed the stingrays and looked at the fish.

Watching the fireworks!!!

Cars 2

We went and saw Cars 2. It was pretty good, well at least the parts that I saw. Let's just say Samuel does not like to sit still. He is in the assisted walking phase and will grab your fingers and take off. If he doesn't get to go where he wants to go when he wants to go he begins to throw a tantrum. Not fun! I spent most of the movie on the side of the movie theater with him and then in the lobby when he really started to cry. Oh well. At least it was cheap because it was early.

Samuel is ONE!!!

Samuel turned one yesterday on 6-19-11. We had a kiddie pool party for him on Saturday. He did a really good job on eating his cupcake. He LOVES food! The kids seemed to have fun in the pool and Samuel just wanted to walk around. He uses us as a walker. If he is sitting in my lap and wants down, he will wiggle till he is on the floor and then reach back for each hand. Once he has them, he is off. He is quite the character. He loves to play with his brother and follow him around. He will try to climb on anything. He has a total of 8 teeth now and is trying to walk by himself, but he isn't quite there. He loves to give open mouthed kisses and what seems like a head butt. He will look at me with his big blue eyes and make my heart melt. He also does this thing where he raises his eyebrows, like who me. It makes me laugh! He is not a fan of milk. He still wants to drink out of the bottle and he still wants formula. We went to the doctor today and his stats are as follows:

Head: 19 1/2...not sure what percentile probably the 90th though

Height: 29 1/2...40%

Weight: 21 lbs 7 oz.... 30%

He really only says mama and dada right now, but he is very good at pointing and grunting. He is a doll and I can't wait to see him continue to grow!

Family Reunion 2011

We had the Anguiano Family Reunion this weekend. We went to San Antonio on Thursday and went down the river walk and just looked around. We also had a swimming pool at our hotel, so we went swimming a lot. Tarren loved it! He didn't want to leave ever!!!


We went to a pool with a slide on Saturday with all of the family. Tarren loved going down the slide. Samuel was indifferent to the water. He just chilled.


Saturday night, we went to an arcade for pizza and games. We went on the bumper cars, but I didn't get a picture. We played lots of games and had fun. Samuel loved the carousel.

Miniature Golf

We had a lot of fun and look forward to next year! Since we have been home, Tarren has gone to the potty twice! That is a record for us! Hopefully, he will keep it up!
