I received a wonderful surprise after Sunday School on Mother's Day. Somebody secretly gave me the book Your Girl. It is a book on how to raise daughters to be godly women. I have been wanting to read this book since I heard about it, but had actually kind of forgot about it. Now I can't read it fast enough. It is a great book so far; really funny. Thank you for the wonderful surprise. It always feels good to be thought of. I have to say I was even a little teary eyed. Jose wouldn't tell me who gave it to him, but I think I know who you are! You are a wonderful blessing!! Love ya.
And for those of you with boys. They have Your Boy. The other one really is a great read and I bet this one is just as good. I will have to read it next.
Sunday afternoon Jose and our friend Casey tilled up part of our yard for a garden. Jose and I have wanted a garden for many years now, but something just seems to get in the way. Since they worked so hard in our yard first, Jose grilled steaks and I made baked potatoes and asparagus. We had a great meal. Monday night Jose went to Casey's to help him plant his garden. I tried to help with the rows, but Jose and Casey started getting a little territorial. They shooed us off because we were supposedly packing the dirt!
Ariel is helping Daddy plant some corn. I had to keep reminding him that she wants to help. See what I mean about being territorial?! Jose wants some sweet corn. They also planted tomatoes, squash, zucchini, bell peppers, jalapenos and watermelon. I might be at the Farmer's market selling me some organic veggies!! he he
Oh, and here is the "BIG" Mother's Day gift I received from Jose and the kids. I am proud to say that I am the owner of a shiny black 9mm hand gun. Jose said we need to go shooting so I can practice. I told him the gun wasn't ready yet that I need to dress it up with some bling!! He told me he is going to have to treat me like Barney Fife. I'm only allowed one bullet and I have to carry it in my pocket!! Talk about feelin the love, right?!?!
The girls were out of school on Friday so I took them to the park in Lubbock. They call it the "Castle Park" and they love it. Logan had a great time as well. The weather was perfect. I just followed Logan around and let him do his thing.
Isn't this the cutest picture. I just love it!!!
Logan thinks he is 7 or 8 years old already. This boy has no fear!! Kind of scary from a mother's perspective.
Alexia and Logan coming down the slide!
Saturday evening we went to Lobo Park to feed the ducks. The girls always love throwing bread to the ducks. I think their daddy even had a great time. The weather was beautiful. We didn't get a picture of the ducks, but here is one of us on the hill. Yeah, Logan wasn't very happy!
Anyway, we did a lot this weekend and had a great time. It was a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

Okay...tell Jose I am ready for my garden too...I am free tomorrow night and Saturday night..
Hey, you know I was all for your gun. When I told Michael about it, he said "Is that such a good idea?" I just laughed.
He's been talking about getting me one, but I pointed out that he's always around, and when he's not, he leaves his for me. Plus, there was the whole mouse in the kitchen at 3 in the morning incident. Miss you so much!
