Border Town Flea Market

Some friends and I have been having fun on Wednesdays visiting the local flea market! It is actually pretty fun. I've been able to find some good stuff! A lot of it is in boxes and brand new. It has become almost a weekly tradition!

Here are some of my favorite finds:

Swimming pool with slide...$8! I saw a price tag on it for $20...

Size 6 Puma shoes...$2! This is post-washing. They cleaned up really well!

This is my ultimate flea market find...after spotting one for $50 on my first trip there (which I turned down, I didn't want it that bad.) I was patient and spotted another one during my 2nd trip for...wait for it... $20! Uhhh, yes please, they sell for $80 in the store! Bobby has a thing for pirates, so I though it was perfect!

I brought Bobby today and let him walk around with us. I was nervous about this, because during our first trip, he was a nightmare! But this time I brought my new stroller, a sit 'n stand, and he actually did pretty well. I think he enjoyed the freedom. Boy was he dirty when we got home! When he and Tagan heard the music, they started dancing! It was so cute!

G7 Films: Garage Gym Throwdown!

Check out the newest video from G7 Films...A.K.A. my very talented husband!! His videos keep getting better and better! My brother in law competed in a fun competition this past weekend in Austin, achieving 2nd place! Way to go Mike!

I am almost 13 weeks along, and it seems like my laziness is coming to an end! Finally. I didn't experience the exhaustion with Bobby, but I have needed a nap everyday or I would be ready for bed around 5 o'clock. Yesterday was the first day that I didn't feel sleepy during the day. :)

The weather here has been gorgeous, so Bobby and I have been hanging outside for most afternoons. Yesterday I started a garden!! I planted carrots, squash, bell peppers and tomatoes. I decided to start small so it would be manageable. I also have a strawberry plant that I won at my last Bunco (sniff, sniff...).

Hopefully, these little guys will start growing! I am excited to see if I can actually produce edible food. I have only ever had flower gardens, so this is all new to me! I'll update with more pictures as the garden grows.

I had the strawberry plant (yellow pot) in the shade, and it was looking very sad. I finally got around to moving it somewhere sunny, and overnight it perked up and looks so much better!

Update--it's been 3 weeks!

We have officially been in Laredo for 3 weeks. It actually feels a lot longer than that though. Bobby has done really well, he doesn't really know we have moved! I am doing well also, there are some days I wish I was back in Sugar Land, but overall, I am enjoying it here and enjoying being a SAHM to Bobby! I am slowly learning my way around town. Some of the places I can get to on my own: the gym (obviously), Target (again...obviously), the library, HEB, a couple of favorite restaurants, and today I found my way to Old Navy with the help of the GPS Rob just got me!

My belly is growing, I am in that stage where I can't really wear my normal pants, but the maternity jeans are too big. I do have 1 or 2 pair I can still wear with the Bella Band, so that's what I've been doing. I have been working out at G7 3 days a week in the mornings. I can already tell I have more endurance than I used too. I can run further without stopping. While I am at the gym, Bobby goes over to his cousin's house and has fun with his 2 year old cousin, Ani. They really have fun playing together.

Rob is really busy organizing the business and planning more classes and events at G7. Since we have been here, 12 new clients have started! G7 Athletics is growing so fast. I have been helping also by doing some accounting work and helping Rob with little odds and ends.

Last weekend, everyone traveled to Austin to cheer on the G7 coaches at Sectionals. They all did awesome! The workouts were challenging, but everyone did their best and represented G7 well! Rob (who has been making some amazing videos) got a Media pass and was nice and close to the action to record the events. Look for a video or two soon!

My cameraman hubby...

I took advantage of my zoom lense and snapped some action shots during the workouts.

Here are the G7 coaches in action:

Mike, flashin' the G7 sign before he begins

his first event.

George, working hard on the rower.

Javi, taking time to smile during the 100 double-unders he had to do! (Notice the handsome cameraman in the back ground...)

Vero, doing great with her snatches (65 ibs) in her last event.

Becky, looking stylish with her socks while doing her 100 double-unders.

Congratulations to everyone! Mike and Vero qualified to go to Regionals in May! G7 will also put together a team for the team competition at Regionals. If they do well there, they will get to go to the CrossFit Games in California this summer. Can't wait to cheer them on!

Bobby did really well, considering he was in a stroller for part of the event and he didn't really get a good nap all weekend. He of course was happiest when he was free to roam around. I took some really cute pictures of him strollin' the trails. Notice his high-water pants. He is 17 mos. old and FINALLY growing out of his 12 mo. pants!!

Such a cutie...

I'll post more pictures and updates soon! We are coming back to Sugar Land this weekend to finish clearing out our house. We are Landlords now!!

Can't wait to see family and friends this weekend!!

We made it!

We are here!

We made it to Laredo on Wed. night. Bobby did so well on the

trip! Since Rob and I drove both cars, it was Bobby's first time to travel that far without someone in the back seat with him. I was nervous, but we made it!

We are getting settled, trying to get into a routine. Bobby loves playing with his cousins, especially AniGabi (2 years old). Within an hour of us getting here, they were already having a dance-off! It was so cute, they were dancing all over the room.

I completed my first workout at G7 yesterday. I was nervous, but it wasn't so bad. I met some nice people. Everyone is very welcoming.

This is a picture of the family in front of G7 Athletics, our home away from home!

It's not 'goodbye'...

...It's 'see ya in a few weeks'!

We are leaving for Laredo in a couple of hours. I am of course sad to leave, but ready and excited to see what God has in store for our family in Laredo. I'm ready to start adjusting to a new city, new culture and life as a SAHM. :)

I'll of course keep blogging, so check back for updates!! I will miss you!
