Long time, no post...

I have been horrible about keeping up this blog. Here's what we have been up to:

Cannon has FINALLY started walking. 18 months old and I thought the day would never come. He just got up one day and started going. For a while, he would only walk at home. I think he didn't trust his surroundings. But he's slowly coming around. It's crazy because I will be washing dishes and there he comes...walking. He loves his brother and loves to pick on him (already).

Gunner has completed kindergarten and will be going into first grade...(tear). I am excited for him and to see what he accomplishes in his future, but it's sad too because he's growing and that means I'm getting older =/ He lost his first tooth not to long ago...he was so proud.

We have just been busy with soccer (just finished) and tball (almost done) and looking forward to a relaxing summer.

A week without Mamaw and Pa...

So my parents were on vacation this past week. As an only child, I remember once when I was in the 4th grade maybe my parents went to the Bahamas. I stayed behind. It was the worst time. I was miserable. I missed my parents sooooo bad. It was probably the longest week of my entire life. I think Gunner felt the same way this past week.

The first day they were gone, Gunner said, "let's go to mamaw and pa's!!" I reminded him that they were gone. He asked where...I told him "Mexico". He got out his map puzzle and asked if it was "here" (Florida) or "there" (New Mexico)...and if we could drive and meet them. I had to tell him that they were not in another state, but another COUNTRY. They had to fly. Then the next day we went to water the plants/grass and he says, "how come Pa's truck is gone?? How can they fly if the truck is gone??" Ugh, I had to explain that they DROVE to the airport and FLEW to Mexico. Everyday he asked about them...wondered what they were doing, when they were coming back, and so on. Today we went over there to see them...oh the JOY in his face when he saw his Pa!!!

I am just so happy that Gunner has a Mamaw and Pa like he does. I totally enjoy watching him with my parents. Of course Cannon missed them too! He was excited to show off that second tooth that came in and he really enjoyed Pa rocking him to sleep. I think that I am blessed to have parents who are so active with their grandchildren. They are the kind of granparents I want to be when I'm a grandma. It's a joy to watch.

Hola!

Well, I'm new to all this blogging stuff. I do enjoy reading other people's blogs so I decided to start one of my own. So, here's a little about the Familia Garcia...I'm Celesta married to Robert. We have two boys...Gunner (5) and Cannon (7 months), a.k.a "Bang and Boom". And before you ask, no I do not name my kids after weapons. Really. Gunner loves to play. As long as someone is chasing him, he's happy. Cannon likes to take whatever he can get his hands on and just chew, chew, chew! Actually, Cannon just got his first tooth! Gunner has just finished tball and is gearing up for soccer. He LOVES to run...so I figure this would be good for him. For the first time, he will not be coached by his dad or his Pa. This is a sport we know nothing about and I think he might listen better to another person rather than one of us.

Well, I guess this is it for now...more to come!
