bluebonnets

There are so many people that aren't happy in San Antonio. I agree it is hot and humid but really what can you do about that? Yes, I grew up here and I've always known what to expect while living here, but I believe that you can find the good and the bad anywhere. Keeper has always told me that I judge a place by the people not the weather or landscape. I think that is probably true. I love San Antonio because of the people. They are truly unique and, although some wouldn't agree with me, genuinely nice. Sure I have been looked down upon for having 3, almost 4 kids 5 and under. I've been glared at and made plenty of people exasperated. That comes with having kids. But there are always those who smile and give a helping hand or a smile that lets me know that it's okay and they know that I am doing my best! Yesterday at the zoo there was a lady who was in her 40's and she was watching my kids pretty close and laughing at everything they did. I heard her later repeat something Camy said to her son and laugh and then say that she couldn't wait to be a grandma. That made me feel so good! Also, the other day we were at Sea World and it was WAY past naps and I pushed them and me too far so I was heading out of the park as fast as I could. On the way out I ran into a display of Shamu stuffed animals and knocked a few off. As I bent over to pick them up a guy did the same and reassured me that he got it and I didn't need to worry about it. I thanked him and noticed he was wearing a BYU hat. That made me smile and helped me lug my 3 tired kids through the parking lot. I love the culture and the crazy parties that they have. I love that my kids expect pinatas and know what confetti eggs are. Parker has grown up on beans and pretty much anywhere we go to eat there are always some for him. I love it here!
Anyway, now I will step off my soapbox and just say that this spring has been beautiful. My favorite season here is Spring and I love that where ever we are driving we are surrounded by gorgeous flowers. The kids have really enjoyed it too. They are constantly staring out the window telling me what different colors of flowers they see.
We took bluebonnet pictures on Sunday and even though the family one didn't turn out because it was on a timer and the kids were pretty much done, the other are really fun! I love my kids! Enjoy!
