An Update!

At the park just hanging out!

My blog is in dire need of an update! So here goes:

* Yes, to my once thought potential detriment, I did it. I have become a minivan mom! After months of thinking it over, researching it and getting plenty of input from minivan and non-minivan friends, I finally settled on getting the Honda Oddessy. The truth is that I absolutely love it. It is super comfortable in every way and the older I get and the more kids I have, COMFORT prevails! The boys love it as well :0) And Stevie, well, he's happy that I'm happy but you won't catch him driving it that often-oh well-his loss!

* I got a new job. Next school year I will be back in my original element-the high school setting. I took a position as a counselor at Plano Senior High School-let's go Wildcats!

* Stevie got day shift which starts in July! I am BEYOND excited about what this means for our family!

* Judah - I don't know what the boy version of Chatty Cathy is but Judah would qualify! From the instant-and yes I really mean instant-that he wakes up until he goes to be he is talking about anything and everything! We are on our way with potty training-he definitely gets excited about saying bye to it all as he flushes it! Of course sometimes we have to call different family members to tell them all about it afterwards!

* Levi - almost a year old! He has a grand total of 2 teeth. He now officially eats more than Judah and often helps Judah finish his meals :-) He wants to walk but is still scared by it and so holds on to our hands the entire time he walks. He LOVES the water! We went to Hawaiian Falls for the first time two weeks ago and it was a huge hit with both boys. Levi would crawl into the water as deep as he could and the crawl back to the shallow end and laugh about it!

* My sisters turned 8 on June 8 and so the Martinez clan went to their birthday party at my dad's park. Here are the cousins/aunts/nephews from left to right (Judah, Victor and Levi in the wagon, and Tifani, Carmen, Sofia and Estefani behind them).
