Memorial Weekend at Bolivar

Last weekend was the first of hopefully several trips to our bay house in Bolivar. We had tons of fun. Anthony kept asking if we were at the beach yet and that started not far from south Dallas. We spent many hours at the beach, took boat rides, went fishing, swam, shell searched, and ate lots of yummy food. I took about 200 pictures so I will have to weed through them and probably post a few different blogs. Enjoy...

Mother's Day 2012 and more...

Since I don't have much time to blog I've got to post several events at a time. Most of the pictures are on Mother's day. The other pictures are just misc. pictures. I have been trying to take many pictures since I've gotten my new Canon...love it!!!

Mother's day was wonderful. A couple months ago Anthony asked me one day, as I was watching him ride his bike, "mom, where's your bike?" Of course I said I didn't have one. He said that I needed to buy a bike. I told Robby the story and I guess it stuck b/c for Mother's day I got a cruiser. It is a bike I thought I'd NEVER ever buy...totally not me...but so so so fun! I love it. It even has a seat on the back for Avery. Now we can go for bike rides on the trails in our neighborhood. It was the perfect gift!

Making Mommy's beds pretty

Anthony has always been a book lover...he loves to sit and read (or make up his story)

He even does pretty good without yelling at sister for dumping all the books out and sitting in the book basket :)

She loves her brother!!!

Easter 2012

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you some of our wonderful Easter moments. We had a great Easter this year. The kids are older and actually hunted for eggs and got excited about Peter Cotton Tail leaving an Easter basket with goodies! Well, Anthony got excited! They are growing up so fast. I love taking pictures of them...just never seem to get the chance to sit and upload pictures for yall to see. I hope you enjoy them...

How come Anthony is surrounded by all the girls??

Anthony's Class with Miss Tiffany


The Easter Bunny knew exactly what Avery and Anthony wanted...a soccer ball and a bubble machine for the summer. Both of them loved their new toys.

The kids did a great job dying eggs!

We probably told Anthony we would call the Easter bunny to come get

his soccer ball if he didn't smile...it worked!!!

My Baby's One

Well...Little Miss Avery had her first birthday party this past weekend! We celebrated her first birthday down in Texas City at her Cici and G-Bob's house, like we did Anthonys. My sister n law's son, Maverick, also celebrated his first b-day. They are 1 month apart so we decided to do the parties together. Our theme was Sock Monkey and everything turned out so cute. Of course it was a big bash, like all the DeSanto parties! I have lots of pictures of the smash cakes...but Avery was pooped and didn't make it to the opening of the gifts. Thanks to everyone who got Avery a gift! Her real b-day is not until this weekend, the 11th. I have arrangements already for professional pictures that will be coming up...so keep posted......(yeah right...if I ever blogged!)


I just can't hardly believe that my baby is turning one. She is not walking yet, so maybe she'll be like Anthony and walk at 13 months. Her hair is SOOOO long and hits her nose, so it has to be in a clip or pony at all times or she can't see. I love her hair so much. I am very blessed to have such precious and healthy children. I can't thank God enough for everything he's given me! If only he could give me more time to blog...he he he!
