Me and My Daddy!

I'm so thankful for every moment I get to spend time with my Dad. Today my Dad was my "shopping buddy". First we had lunch at Subway. Then we made our way to North Star Mall. My Dad helped me out with Moriah (Joslyn and Allison are back with their Dad this week). While I went into the different stores and tried clothes on, my Dad would sit on the benches with Moriah. One store I went into (Victoria's Secret) I spent way to much time(and money). I came out and saw my Dad holding Moriah. He was a little upset, "What took you so long? Here take her! I had one heck of a time trying to get her out of the stroller, but I finally figured it out"! Then we were on our way. My Dad and I went to the Cheese Cake Factory before we left the mall. We stopped at HEB Grocery Store and headed home. Now I'm back to laundry.

Build-A-Bear!

A few days ago I took the girls to Bulid-A-Bear. They had such a great time and a fun experience! Joslyn and Allison picked out cute outfits for their bears, named their bears, they have bear birth certificates, and the bears even have their very own "paws"port! Moriah and I enjoyed watching the girls have a wondeful time. Joslyn and Allison love thier bears so much. Fun! Fun! Fun!






Allison named her bear, Miley (after Hannah Montana)
Joslyn named her Bunny, Jennifer

Having Fun!

My BFF and I went to a birthday party Saturday night! I had a blast! But I stayed out WAY too late 2:30am. However I made it to church the next morning and I was even early to church!!
NOEMI & DENISE


Sunday I went to church, it was so good to be back at St. Paul. I missed it so much! Yesterday I went with my mother-in-law to Breakfast Prayer at her pastors house. Paula, the pastor's wife, hosts a Breakfast Prayer group at her home every Monday morning. Women of the congregation gather at Paula's home and pray the prayers that are on there hearts! There was a lot of praying! Then I went back to my in-laws house where Philip tracked me down on the phone. We were able to get on the web cam at my in-laws house with Philip. He was able to see Moriah in action! Today I didn't do much, just laundry and laid out in the sun- I'm working on my tan!
UNCLE FRANK & MORIAH

Independence Day 2009

My long time, good friend, Todd is engaged. His wedding is in August. Their Couples Shower was on the 4th of July. I was able to see and visit with so many of my really good friends at the shower. Everyone was so excited to see Moriah and I. Joslyn and Allison are with their Dad this week so everyone is really looking forward to seeing the girls next Sunday! I'm just so glad to be back in Texas with family and friends!

Finally! The Spa!

Today Joslyn and Allison's father came and picked them up and will have the girls at his house for the next week. The girl's were very happy to see their dad and half sister, Nessa. After Jason came to pick the girls up my best friend Noemi came and picked me up. My mom took care of Moriah for me. Noemi and I had lunch together, and then we went to the Spa and had a manicure and pedicure! I was so happy! I have gone a entire year without a manicure or pedicure. It is extremely expensive in Germany. Then we went shopping. It was so nice to go shopping again with Noemi. After an afternoon of shopping we went out to eat for dinner with Philip's parents and my parents. What a wonderful day of relaxing and fun shopping!

Summer Night Swimming!

Joslyn and Allison just could not wait another day to go swimming so last night we went to Grandma Norma's house and the girl's went for a little swim. My mom went with us and got in the pool too. They had a good time and the girl's are looking forward to swimming a lot more through out the summer!

TEXAS!

We finally made it back to Texas after living in Germany for about 1 year!! What an adventure...the girls and I flew ALL day Monday. We left our home in Germany at 6am Monday morning and didn't get to San Antonio until 10:30pm Monday night! We were greeted by some of our "Fan Club" in the San Antonio Airport. Philip's parents, Norma and David, Philip's Grandpa and his wife, Philip's brother, Frank and my parents! Moriah was given a gold bracelet with her name engraved on it and on the inside of the bracelet it is engraved "From GGPA 4-16-09" (GGPA-Great Grandpa). Such a spoiled little princess already!
MORIAH'S FIRST PLANE RIDE

PUTTING ON HER NEW BRACELET

Tuesday the girls and I went to WAL-MART for the first time in 1 year! I almost lost my mind. The girls and I were going crazy and wanted to buy so many clothes! I controlled myself and only spent $100. Later Tuesday night we met up with our good friends, Tom and Sue Carter as well as my best friend Noemi and her son Nathan and we all ate dinner at Chris Madrid's. We had good American hamburgers. It was so delicious!

Today I went to the Social Security Office and finally applied for Moriah's social security number. Then my mom, the girls and I all did more shopping! We are just having a blast in Texas!!
