Chillin in the Bounce House

Last night we went to Hector's teacher picnic. Ben is typically pretty serious when he meets people but then warms up fairly quickly. Last night, there was no warming up. People tried and tried. He was just plain crabby. There were two other babies his age there, and they were both smiling away. Ben didn't care. He kept his frown on the whole time. I think we cracked a semi smile once or twice. And of course these are people that Hector sees everyday, but Ben and I only see a few times a year. Oh well, we got some really cute pictures, even though Ben wasn't smiling in most of them. One picture in particular reminds me so much of my baby pictures. I used to make that same exact face. Let's see if you can guess which picture I'm talking about!

SUFC - Santiago Ultimate Fighter Club

So, Caleb came over the other night to hang out and swim. And as you all know, Caleb is a martial arts king, so Hector and I decided to take him on in a little Ultimate Fighting challenge of our own. We started out strong, but then things got ugly. As you can see by the pictures, Hector and I needed some serious help, so Ben had to step in and save the day! Then he decided to put daddy in an armbar just for fun. Such talent at such an early age. Randy Cotour, watch your back!

Day at the Museum

We had another great day as a family. This time we went with Ellie and Noah to the Fort Worth Museum of History and Science. It's actually closed for renovation, but they moved the kids portion over to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. It cost $8 per person to go, but when we got there they told us it was Family Free Friday from 3-7, so we didn't have to pay anything. We got there minutes before 3 and were the first in line, so it was perfect. Very quickly however we discovered how many people take advantage of this great deal. So we didn't stay long because it got packed quick. But we were there long enough to get some great pictures of the boys. I think Ben's a natural cowboy. How about you? Hector got a kick out of the rice maker picture. He said with Ben being Puerto Rican he better learn how to do that! My favorite is the teepee picture where the boys are both like "what the heck"! Anyway, fun times!
