Bailey's first boyfriend

Our neighbor two doors down from us (Desiree) has a 7 year old rottweiler named Rex who is the BIGGEST thing you ever saw basically, looks mean (of course...he IS a rottie after all!!) but is the sweetest teddy bear once you know him.......and Bailey seems to think so too!!!

We have had them out together in our front yard a few times, with one or both of them each on a leash, but tonight we let them both off their leashes in the yard and MAN did they ever have a blast and wear each other out!!! I finally went in and grabbed the camera once we got out Bailey's big ole rope for them to play tug of war with each other...but by the time I came back out they were pretty much done and wore out..here are a few pics of Rex...and a few of Bailey wiped out and back in the house.

Bailey's got a boyyyyyyyfffffrrrrriiiiieeeennnnddddd!!!!!!! How sweet!!! :)

Janice and Olivia visit....

My best friend since high school, Janice, and her little girl Olivia are here for a visit during spring break! They got here from California on Tuesday nite....brave brave Janice driving from the Los Angeles area all the way here to Houston with a three year old in the car! WOW!!! We are thrilled to have them here and have had SO MUCH FUN the last couple days...we've been to the park, tried to go to the zoo but HELLO its spring break....sat in traffic about 45 minutes AT Hermann Park where the zoo is located and gave up (hence going to the park instead!), took Olivia to Chuck E Cheese for the first time ever on Wednesday nite, went to Moody Gardens Aquarium followed by Stewart Beach for a bit on Friday, and back to Stewart Beach all day yesterday along with my friend Jen....so much fun! The kids are enjoying each other..till they get tired then they bicker like they are siblings...LOL!!! But great great week and we love that they came out to visit us! Here are a bunch of pics from this week....we love you Janice and Olivia! Y'all are welcome here ANY TIME, our house is your house anytime...and Jorge included next time!!!! :)

Random Pics

I got a new camera from a co-worker a few days ago for a SWEET deal of a price...Nikon D50 Digital SLR..a REAL camera..with more cool features and what not than I know what to do with...think I will take a begining photography class soon so I can learn more and think a little more beyond the AUTO setting....LOL!!! Im already loving it and seeing a GREAT difference in picture quality and how fast I can take picture after picture.......learn some more and I am gonna be hooked for sure!!!

Anyway, been taking some random shots of my guys and our "little girl" who is growing at lightning speed (grows every time she sleeps it seems, seriously!!) at night this week after dinner when we are playing with her, etc....ENJOY!!

First Field Trip....

On Friday March 6th, James went on his first field trip ever!!!! His PPCD (pre-k) class went to the zoo, and I volunteered to chaperone...no way could I miss the opportunity to go and spend the day with my boy and his friends, and take pics for his scrapbook of his first ever class field trip! LOL!!! We had a fantastic day...awesome weather, and I even made a new friend! :) one of the other moms of a kiddo in the morning PPCD class (James goes in the afternoons) carpooled from the school to the zoo with me and another mom, and she and her family just moved here from.......SAN DIEGO!!! So needless to say, we hit it off right away and spent most of the day commiserating on all that we miss "back home" and she sounds JUST like I did when I first moved here, homesick as hell, not liking it here in Houston etc etc.....so I told her I would change all that, get her out and about doing stuff...she likes to scrapbook too so we are getting together this weekend to scrap, we are doing some fun stuff with the kids next week on spring break, going out to celebrate her birthday the following weekend.......getting her out and showing her some of Houston and get her to like it here a bit more. Anyway...back to the zoo........here are some of my favorite pics from the day......
