My husband was eating at Rudys the other day and got a phone number to this place that rents moonwalks here in Round Rock. The name of the Company is Jump 4 Less and their phone number is 512 818-5111. The deal that I got was a 13×13 moonwalk plus two tables and 12 chairs for $110. The size of the moonwalk is perfect for my toddlers and their little friends. Last time, the moonwalk was big which was nice but not needed. What I did need was more eating and sitting places which did not have.

For Genesis’ birthday I have plenty sitting area outside where parents can eat and watch their little ones as they themselves relax and chat.

I really do like to entertained and want everything to be just right!

This past Monday was Memorial Day and my husband and my brother did not work.  We barbecued and hang out in the back yard most of the afternoon.  The kids had lots of fun in their little pool that my husband bought for them since the one they had last year got messed up. 

Anyways, Monday felt good to me.  I really like having my husband home on weekdays.  Holidays are very special to me for that reason.  I get to spend more time with my whole family.

Sundays are our Church/Family Day. We get up in the morning, get dressed and out the door we go. After church we usually go and hang out all day. Sometimes we go to the mall or go for nice long drives. The kids love Church/Family Day.

This morning they got to go hang out with their friends at church and in the afternoon we went to this Park where they get to ride a cool looking train. We pay $2 per person and go for a 15 minute train ride around the park and after that they go play in the playground.

All this is after having lunch and taking their naps of course.

By doing things like this we have been able to find really cool spots like that water park in Cedar Park. The kids love that place so much. I think we will be visiting the water park a lot this Summer!

Genesis is scheduled to have her B-Day party in about 2 weeks.  The theme for her party is “Dora the Explorer”.  She likes Dora.  The Dora Moonwalk has been reserved and her cake needs to be ordered.

I have picked out her outfit but I think I want something different for her.  I bought her new shoes (she needed new ones badly) and I think I want an outfit that matches her shoes.  The list of things to do is long but I still have some time.  I’ll get there. 

Last party we had, people really enjoyed eating pupusas (Salvadorean dish) and are asking if we are cooking them again.  So I think they may be in the menu for Genesis’ Birthday Party also.

I am so happy, my little Princess is going to be 2.

It has been a year since Dan II was born. He is definitely my personal gift from God. He is the sweetiest and most gentle baby there is. He turned one year old a couple of weeks ago and for the first time we had a real birthday party at our new home.

It has been about a year since we moved to our new home and a bit more since we moved from Cali. We have made friends and the kids also have made friends. We invited our new friends over for Dan’s first birthday party and had a blast.

The party theme was Little Einsteins. Dan II was able to take his morning nap before our guest starting arriving and we were able to eat, fellowship, break the pinata, have cake and have fun before his afternoon nap. Everything was just perfect

The menu included: pupusas (Salvadorean dish), Carne Asada, Salvadorean tamales, Rice, Beans, and Green Salad. The cake was a mocha flavored cake made by my Mom’s friend from church.

I was able to reserve a Moonwalk and I am so glad I did. It certainly kept the kid’s friends entertained. We had about 15 kids in the house, not counting my 3. I was also glad about the safety knobs on the doors. It kept some little ones from wondering around and getting into trouble. I never knew how good those things were.

The birthday boy got many gifts, lots of toys and clothes. Even Mikey and Genesis scored some presents themselves from family that came to visit from Houston.

My little munkin is left with cool toys, we are left with good memories and still more to come!

Dan Jr. is now turning to his side. He is so strong. He is almost 6 months old. Will be that in 11 days. He has the most wonderful smile.

I think it’s funny that he now wants to sleep face down. He does not like to sleep on his back any more. For the first week or so I would get up in the middle of the night to turn him on his back fearing that he would not breath right you know but now I know he is fine. If you think, if he is ready to turn then he is ok. 6 months is good. He now can move his body to where he needs to for comfort.

I am glad!

The movie Over The Hedge was out on video last Thursday and I got it for Mikey. He loves it. My husband and I like it too. It’s very funny. The beginning of the movie is hilarious.

The next movie we want to get for Mikey is the movie CARS. Genesis is not all there with watching movies yet but she will watch parts of movies here and there. I all ready bought her Cinderella when it came out last year for her. She is not ready yet but she will be- maybe when she is 2.

Today I took Mikey to the Playground and he surprised me. He did not want to play. Instead he asked me to go take him for a walk in the park. I put him in the stroller and off we went. He seemed to like that. We came back to the playground and I asked him if he wanted to play and he said “no”.

Up to this point all he ever wants to do is play. This surprises me. I don’t know what to think.

Was he bored or tired? Who knows. He can’t communicate that yet. Weird!

This year I want to take my 3 little monkeys, dress them up and go take some great pictures. I want to make our own Christmas Card this year. I have done Birthday Invitations and even Christmas Invitations for my previous job. I made the Department Christmas Party Invite. I did a good job too.

Anyways, this year I want to make our own Christmas Cards with the Picture of the kids. I think the Great-Grandparents and Grandparents will love it.

My kids are good looking and they can put up a cute smile when they want to. I think I can do this!

I found a NASCAR Forum that is really cool. They have a lot of interesting chats (conversations). My oldest (almost 3 years old) is a fan. He loves to see the NASCAR races. I know that boys usually like to play with cars but his like for NASCAR is not just a like for cars in general. He “loves” to watch the races.

He is hooked on it. I wonder if the NASCAR drivers were like that when young?

Anyways, I checked out the forum and it’s awesome. I even showed Mikey the pictures of the cars that they have on their site and his whole face changed.

He just loves them. I am so glad I found this Forum. I am glad I found it because I can keep track of races and different schedules. I can get to know who the drivers are and what other people had to say about them. You can call it, research because I know I will need the information so that Mikey can say that Mommy knows what’s up

I have been to only one race in my life when I was younger and would not mind taking Mikey to one.
