We got SNOW!!

Shamu & San Antonio

We have been trying to get Gabe to learn to sleep in his "big boy bed" all night long. So since he had been doing kinda good, we decided to take to him to see Shamu. (we were going to San Antonio anyway) but it made it him feel special to think we were going for his accomplishment! Lupe also ran the 1/2 marathon there (the main reason for the trip).

We got to visit with family also.
Here are some pics of our trip, then video of Shamu. :)

Halloween 2009

Here is Gabe's dragon costume. I am so glad the weather cooperated- and it was nice and cool. His costume was so thick & bulky- if it were hot, he would have been breathing fire!!

Happy Halloween from the Silva's

Zoo Boo

we went to the Houston Zoo for to meet up with his new baby cousin Diego and his sister and his aunt & uncle. They have some cute decorations, but the zoo was PACKED!!

Fruit Salad

Gabe insisted on eating fruit salad out of the tortilla warmer. Too cute!

guess what??

I know we have been M.I.A. I can't believe it's almost been 1 month since our last post....sorry!! But I bring news......
We are due early May!! Please say prayers for a wonderful and healthy pregnancy!!

Big Boy Bed!!

we got Gabe's big boy bed from IKEA, and I am happy to say he is actually sleeping in it. Naps and night night. But, he does end up in our bed at least by midnight or 1am......

Memorial Day & more!

ok, so I felt a little "White Trash" with our new pool and set up for Memorial Day. We got a plastic pool, and put up an umbrella for Gabe. I was drinking wine while he was swimming!! the All American Dream!! hahah!! a modified version of gabe's new hair-cut. This day it looked like Maddox's faux hawk.

My Tejano husband was grilling cowboy hat and all! -Good Times!!

This is the pic I took for Gabe's birhtday invitations! Construction Party!! It will be a photo card, like a Christmas card, with all the info. printed under the pic!!

New Haircut and working out

Gabe got a new spikey- "big-boy" hair cut. I do have pics but they are on my mom's camera. Cant wait to show you all!!! in the meantime, I am now addicted to Twitter. It was facebook, but have now moved on. ;) I am also on the 30 challenge of the Wii EAS Sports Active. My sister and I are both doing it, and it's awesome. I am trying to be better. I even joined the YMCA a couple months ago, but it turned out Gabe hated it! So, I could only go REALLY early in the a.m. or wait til Lupe got home from work. So...., I am so proud that I am actually working out at home...SHOCKER for me!!
pics to come soon- of Gabe not me!! ;)
