Baseball is over...

Well, the baseball season is over, and we are sad to say that Trey did not make All-Stars. The coaches think that he is a great ball player, but has a problem with crying. Trey hates to make mistakes in baseball, so when another player gets him out, or if Trey himself makes a mistake, he usually sheds some tears. The coaches that were scouting for the All-Star team saw every last tear. So...this is a great lesson for Trey! He knows why he didn't make the team, and is pumped for a summer full of baseball, and another shot at the All-Star team next year. Trey will be going to the Bowie High School baseball camp, and also the UT Baseball camp! Rest assure that we will be informing the summer coaches at these camps about Trey's little (crying) problem and maybe they can work on that with him! Trey's team, the Oakland A's, had a very good Spring season! They had a record of 16-4-1 which is AWESOME!!!

Happy 50th Birthday James

Our dear friend James works overseas in Saudia Arabia. He doesn't get to come home very often, so when he got a 2 week leave, his wife and sister planned a surprise 50th birthday at the Round Rock Express. He loves baseball and loved it even more when they presented him with passes to sit in the new Intel Box Seats. It is directly above home plate, air conditioned, waitress, alcohol, food...the list goes on and on. Aurelio and I were invited, and gladly accepted!!! A big thank you goes out to Janis and Carren for inviting us, and a huge thank you to James for fighting for our country!

Play-date!!

One of my best friends, Jennifer, also nannies twins. Now that summer is here....we throw all 4 boys in the pool! We tried to have races....blue floaties vs. green floaties....the boys didn't want to play, they just sat there...oh well! From left to right, G, C, D, W. These boys play so well together and it also gives Jennifer and I a little time to have "adult talk" during the morning. (Yes, yes, D is picking his nose)

Crawfish!!!

Aurelio threw a crawfish boil about two weeks ago...so that gave his friend an idea to throw one as well. Aurelio did most of the cooking while teaching his friends along the way. I think there was 30lbs of crawfish!!! We wanted to see if one of the "mud bugs" would hold onto my earrings, the answer is YES, it held on for dear life! We had a great time, and ate TONS of crawfish over the last two weeks.

My Mother's Day!

It was reaching 10:30am, and Trey was STILL asleep. We were supposed to go have Mother's Day breakfast, but that was quickly turning into Mother's Day brunch. I walked into Trey's room to wake him up...and it was pitch-dark in his room. This threw me off for a second...My mom made Trey roman shades for his room and just installed them the night before, so that is why it stayed so dark. I pulled those puppies all the way up and opened the blinds!!! "Happy Mother's Day to me....Happy Mother's Day to me...Happy Mother's Day to meeeeeee!" -I was singing at the top of my lungs!!! Trey woke up laughing so hard! (Thanks mom for the shades)

We got dressed in his Mother's Day get-up, and took some pics outside. Then he played a little on his electric guitar, and we were off to Maudies for brunch!

At school, they went to the Nursery to pick out flowers for the mom's. Trey picked out pink ones for me. Then they wrote on a card "Here are flowers and a kiss from me" everyone in the class had to put on red lipstick (even the boys!!!) and kiss the card. Trey said it felt gross and never wants to wear it ever again....."GOOD" I said.

Trey sent out cards to all of the grandma's in our family, and then on Mother's Day, we called them to wish them a personal "Happy Mother's Day". I sent out cards to all of my "nanny children's moms". (basically all of my twin and triplet moms...they deserve it!)

Mother's Day 2009 was a huge success!!!
