First Church Sleepover and Rollerskating

Last Friday lil Ricky had his first Church sleepover at True Vine Fellowship. He had so much fun!! It is the church of big Ricky's good friend so we knew a lot of the people chaperoning. Ricky was so excited to go and can't wait to go back next year.
Since we only had Hana we met some friends at the roller skating rink and had some fun. I roller bladed and  Hana and big Ricky roller skated. Hana wasn't too thrilled during the 1st round but wanted to go back out and enjoyed the 2nd round. It was a lot of fun. I can't wait to go back with lil Ricky.

Zebras, Ostriches and Giraffes Oh My

We had a great family day last Sunday. Thanks to the entertainment book (which by the way has saved me so much $$$$) I discovered the Bayou Wildlife Safari in Alvin Tx. We had so much fun taking the kids through there and having the animals come up to us. I do have to say the Ostrich and Emu were non bashful. They had no problem chasing you down for what they wanted. And believe me you gave it to them. Especially since we were told that ostriches can run 42 mph!!. A fun experience. After we took the kids to Kemah for dinner and to play. Lil Ricky wanted to play carnival games because he was convinced if he played he would get a prize. The 1st game he played consisted of throwing balls onto a platform with holes and some were colored. If you made it into it you won a prize. Sounds easy right? It's all about luck. Since Ricky is lucky he won a prize on his first round - Yay!! He picked a smurf. Hana tried 2 times but just couldn't land on a color one. You get 3 balls per round. We moved on and played another game where daddy was her hero and was able to get sponge bob. It was a great family day!!

North Padre Island Trip

I took the kids to visit their grandparents the last week of July. For an entire week! Ok 5 days  = ).
It was a great trip. Only thing the beach was a little rough. Maybe we'll go back one more time before school starts back up.

RICKY IS 6!!!!!!

Six years ago today God has blessed me with my sweet lil blue eyed boy. I can't believe it has been 6 years. I remember bringing him home and he needing me for everything. In these wonderful 6 years we have seen him transform into a caring, sweet, funny young boy. Ricky truly has the sweetest heart. He will be starting a new chapter in his life this fall. Kindergarten. I know with his amazing personality he won't have any problems making great friends.

We had his birthday party today at a friends neighborhood pool. It was perfect. The weather was amazing (which I was worried about because the forecast predicted rain), we were surrounded by many great friends, had some great cup cakes (which I made with the help of Duncan Hines  ;-) ) . Ricky picked a Toy Story Theme so we had a few decorations to match it. Even though presents are not necessary because we are thrilled everyone comes to celebrate in his special day, they are greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone for showering him with gifts. I'm pretty sure he got everything he wanted. 

What a perfect day for the perfect boy.

Lil Ricky knows that his faith comes first. Yesterday I was telling him that I love him more than anything in the whole wide world and instead of accepting it he set me straight and told me I can't love him more than God because he comes first.

Ricky,

I love you more than words could ever express. You and Hana are my happiness. You are such an amazing little boy and I thank God every day for giving you to me.

I hope you had an amazing day today. 

I love you lil Buddy.

What it's a FASHION STYLE!?!?

My son Ricky, comes out of his room after getting himself dressed in a turtle neck and sweat cut off shorts. When I look at him, like he just fell out of the sky he says "What it's a fashion style"
