Proud to be American, Proud to be Texan

Sometimes when you have a newborn, you go out for fast food at all hours of the night.   Tonight was such a night.  

We went to

Whataburger

As my husband and daughter went to get me my requested cinnamon bun, I sat, looking at a window cling that read

ONE NATION

UNDER

GOD

INDIVISIBLE

I sat, thinking of what has been happening with Mexico and USA boarders.   I am happy to be an American of the United States, but I have become saddened by the simplistic fact that our constitution is being broken by those who are meant to uphold its resolve the best and the most.

Texas is known for being gun totin' type.  I remember a report of a purse thief, whom had dragged the women to take it, was stopped by a person who was concealing.    I pray for the safety of those who serve at our boarders and I also pray that our governor, Rick Perry, will not be afraid to protect us and do what is right.   

Say a prayer for those who, are not only protecting us over seas, but also those who protect us close to home at our boarders.

Grey Eyes

Raven's eyes are grey.  I spent a long time trying to get a good picture to show them but every picture just looked fake.  Her eyes really are that grey color though.  

Smiling

Welcome Raven

Raven Lileas

June 7, 2014 / 7lbs 4 oz / 19.5 inches

The newest addition to our family has finally arrived!

It was an adventure but that will be for another time.  I am happy to have my baby girl with us.  Since I am exclusively breast feeding, and I haven't pumped much at all, I am not getting the best sleep, so  I am merely announcing the happy news!

Welcome Raven!

Superhero Party!

June 1st, my cousin's little girl had her 3rd birthday party!

Superheroes!

Evelyn likes Batman so we all dressed as Batman!

My cousin likes everyone to dress up for the theme of each party which I love to do!   I try and do that for every kids party.  Evelyn ran around like a crazy monkey, beat the piñata and sang happy birthday!  She loves to go to birthday parties!

Two cakes!  Her daddy's birthday is the same as her's. 

They had a great face painter that is a student at the university.   Evelyn first, was afraid to have her face painted, then she saw other kids do it and my uncle do it and it didn't hurt them, so she had the same thing done as her cousin. 

I added thin elastic to the sides of my shirt to make it maternity, plus bought it big to give Raven room. 

We had a lot of fun!  My feet swelled up horribly!   At my doctor's appointment, the next day, we found my blood pressure to be narrow, causing the over swelling, headaches and nausea I have been having this past week.  But the party was great fun!!!
