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!

What a blast!

We went and spent the weekend in San Antonio for our 5 year anniversary. It was so much fun! We went to six flags and we had a lot of fun, but my stomach is not like it use to be. We rode the rides and then went to the water park. It was nice to float the lazy river. We got our caricature done and we did the theme of peter pan and tinkerbell. We took a few pictures with the cartoon characters there.

The kids stayed at their mimi's house. They had a blast, but I sure missed them. They both love the trampoline. I think we are going to get one pretty soon.

Only 1 1/2 days left of school! YEA!!! We are going up to San Antonio again for family reunion,but this time we are bringing the boys! :)

The end is in sight!

Well, the end of the school year is just around the corner. We have 2 1/2 days left. It is bitter sweet for me. I was reassigned, so I will not be coming back to my school next year. It is sad to clean out my desk completely. So, I am happy for Summer to be here, but I am sad to leave and move on. However, the reassignment does have some positives. I will only be 2 minutes away from my house and I look good in red(their school colors). I am going back to my old junior high. I am going to be a TIGER again. I will be teaching the same class and doing the same thing, but it will be like starting all over again with a whole new set of students. It will be weird to go back to the school I went to junior high at. The actual building was new my 8th grade year. So, we were the first 8th grade class to graduate from the new building. I remember as a high school student I wanted to get out of Katy so bad. I told myself I would never come back to Katy. However, I found myself back here 5 years ago. I wasn't teaching at Katy, so I told myself it was ok. Funny, now I will be teaching at Katy. It's not a bad thing. I am kind of excited to see how things go. I will miss my co-workers at Cinco and all the good times we had, but at least we are still close enough we can hang out. I will miss the students I have taught and miss seeing them grow and progress, but I guess that is what facebook will help with...right? So, as the school year ends and the summer begins, I will be thinking of all the great times I had at Cinco. It will be weird next year when I am setting up my new desk and I won't have Anabell or Susan there to make me laugh. I guess I will just have to call them. :)

Spencer and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this weekend. We dropped the kids off at their mimi's house and we are off to San Antonio. It is weird not to have the kids with us. It is too quiet. I enjoy hearing their giggles in the back seat and their noises. It will be nice though to have some mommy and daddy time. The last 5 years have been the best years of my life. Spencer is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is so unselfish! He loves me so much and he doesn't only say it everyday...he shows me everyday! I know in my heart he would die for me if he had to! I love how he looks at me like I am the hottest person in the world! I remember our wedding like it was yesterday. I am so glad he chose me to be with him for forever! We are going to be kids again this weekend and go to Six Flags. I will post pictures later.

Tarren is growing so fast! He has the cutest sayings. He will say, " I can't want to do that" instead of saying I don't want to do that. He will say, "motor bicycle" instead of motorcycle. He knows his shapes and will point them out on stuff he sees. He knows his colors and loves to be read to. He is a great big brother. He will ask where's the baby when he can't see Samuel. He loves to make Samuel laugh. He got new shoes and refers to them as his cool shoes. He wanted to show his babysitter them so bad. So, he wore them there the next day and when I dropped him off he didn't say anything. He just propped his foot up waiting for her to see. It was cute. I am going to work on potty training him as soon as school is out. I am just tired of buying so many diapers. We will see how it goes.

Samuel is crawling good now. One minute he will be in the living room and the next he is in the kitchen. He is pulling up and pushing a walking toy around. So, I think he will be walking in the next couple of months. He loves to eat anything we are eating. He is done with baby food. He will refuse to eat it. He loves to follow us around and be held. He says mama very clearly now and then just all kinds of other sounds. He loves his big brother and loves to go in his room and mess up all of the toys. He loves to lean in and get kisses. He also is very ticklish. He will be 1 in about 3 weeks. I can't believe my baby is almost 1. This year went way too fast!

Anyway, I am off to have fun at Six Flags...MORE FLAGS...MORE FUN!!!

Early Mother's Day Present

I am super tired of my digital camera giving red eye every time I take a picture. So, for Mother's Day I wanted a new camera. I was looking at getting one of those really big cameras that have the super big lenses that you can attach, but Spencer talked me out of it. He asked me would you really want to carry an extra case just for the camera stuff. He has a point. I already have my hands full with babies, diaper bag and a purse. So, he found this camera that is freaking cool and it is the size of a small digital camera. It takes clear pictures and it lets you fix red eye on the picture. It is called the sony cyber shot tx100 and I LOVE IT!

Here is an example of red eye that it let me fix.



The video quality is amazing and it lets you take a video and then in the middle of it watching it, you can decide you want a picture and push a button and you have your picture from your video. It is amazing and it is small! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Here is my sweet boy.

Spencer won tickets from a radio show to go to the racetrack. We have never gone before so we figured it would be an experience. We also got free dinner. Don't worry...we didn't bet. :) It was amazing how beautiful these horses are. We saw two horses that fell down and it was so sad. They couldn't get back up so they had to use a big trailer to carry them away.

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Tarren turned 3 today, but we had the party on Friday. He has been so excited to turn 3 and has been talking about it the last month. I asked him what type of party he wanted and he told me cars. So, that is what we had. We just had a simple party here at the house. I bought a few cars decorations and then made a cake and decorated it with car toys.

He was very excited. He kept saying "ooooooh" "wow". It was cute. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and let the kids play. It is a lot of fun because all of the kids are about the same age so they have a blast playing together. Tarren was very excited to blow out his candles and blew out the first one before Spencer even finished lighting the rest. So, we had to relight.

He got lots of cool toys and has been playing with them ever since.

EASTER
We went to Pearland yesterday to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful dinner with all of the family and then we had the Easter egg hunt. Tarren understood it much better this year and kept telling his daddy, "we got to run to get the eggs".

Samuel grabbed an Easter Egg or 2 with the help of his Mimi.

He doesn't like the feel of grass on his legs, so he will take turns holding each leg up.

After all the eggs are found, we bring out the confetti eggs. They are fun, but you find confetti for days in your clothes and on your body. Tarren had a blast getting Mimi.
