Continuing the Texas Trip - 3-28-09

On this day Julian woke up and asked my brother, Robert to take him on a walk. While on their walk Robert showed Jules how to put coins on the train tracks to flatten them out (very exciting for Jules). After their walk Robert and my Dad took Julian to the Flea Market, where they cleared out the toy section. When they returned they tested out all of the toys they had bought. Julian was in country living heaven with all the open space and outside fun.

Since my Dad’s birthday was the day before we decided to throw him a small BBQ. A lot of good food was made and eaten. We also had a birthday cake for my Dad and I’m pretty sure Julian thought it was his birthday because he HAD to blow out the candles.

After the BBQ died down, we enlisted my Uncle Albert to watch Julian so that my Dad, Nat (Natalie is my Dad’s girlfriend), Robert and myself could go to Charley’s, the neighbor bar, where hippies have to use the back door.

We were laughing because Ju kept saying "all my friends". Kite flying time!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

"ROAR! I'm the 'ing' of the jungle!"

"Eww, that's gross 'campa'!"

Somehow I got in through the front door.

Silliness

By the way, a big thank you to Uncle Albert for watching Julian while the adults went out for spirits. When Julian woke up and started crying because mommy wasn't there, it was really quick thinking telling him if he stopped crying he could have as much cake and strawberries he wanted at 1:30 am. :P

New Addition to the Family

On April 2, 2009 my nephew, Cole Kaylen Garza was born. He was 7lbs 10oz and 20 1/2 inches long. (Jules was 7lb 15oz, 19 1/2 in) Everyone says he looks exactly like Julian except Julian had more hair.

Update: Just called Cole's mommy, Tiffany - They are both doing great. Cole is nursing well and sleeping a lot. Hopefully we'll get to meet his cuteness on Sunday.

Can't believe how similar they are!

You can also look at these to compare. Look at the chin and mouth!

On Our Way to Great-Grandma's House 3-27-09

On Friday, which was my Dad’s Birthday, we headed out early in the morning to go to Texas to visit my Grandma. It was an 8 hour drive to my Grandmother’s house and Julian did excellent (Go portable DVD player)!

"Goodmorning, Grandpa!"

Just arrived and hungry "Where's Nat?" Julian says in his best kitten voice "milk!"

Taking Off - 3-26-09

Let’s see… The trip didn’t start off too well. Our flight was delayed by 3 hours due to bad weather in Houston. But once we got on the plane it was pretty smooth sailing.

Highlights: Julian would make comments about us going on a "rocket ship" and tell me "Here we go, Mommy... Up, up high". Very adorable.

This video is somewhat older, but I just love it and thought I'd share! I should record Julian watching this video because his reaction is priceless.

I'm sure you'll enjoy.
