Houston Rose Garden

Another entry full of pictures. I have fully decided to make this blog a photoblog now. I think it will be easier this way 'coz all I'm gonna do is let the photos speak for themselves unless I feel the need to elaborate on some, lol! So, last Friday, hubby was off from work and we decided to go to the Houston Rose Garden. We've been there a lot of times already but I wanted to go back to take some rose pictures. I took quite a few but these three are my favorites.

I asked hubby to take this photo of me with the roses, hehe! I'm not sure how much weight I've lost since I worked out (if there's any at all) but right now, I don't feel so bad about my body anymore although I know I still need a lot of work out sessions to get to my ideal weight.

You're probably wondering why this squirrel is featured here, lol! Well, we had our lunch at the park beside the rose garden and a bunch of pigeons, crows and squirrels were surrounding us for food of course. We gave the squirrels some french fries and one of them climbed up the tree to munch on his food. I thought it was interesting so here he is! Yes it's a he, I saw the proof with my own eyes, lol!

After lunch, we started walking around the garden and it was nice to be not so crowded since it was a Friday but still the place wasn't empty. The boys (as always) didn't really want to pose for the camera but we told them that if they do, they can ride the train. So, they did, lol!

I took advantage and ask them to pose individually as well. Here's my 5-yr old AJ, who will be starting Kindergarten this August. I'm not so sure if I'm ready for it yet but I'm sure it'll be fine.

When I dress them both with the same outfits, people ask us if they are twins. Anyway, when I took the photo of AJ above and place it next to Aiden's below, I just don't see how they could be twins. Of course they are brothers, so there's always the resemblance but I think all 3 boys of mine have their own distinct look, adorable as this mom would say, hehe! I must say though that Aiden is a proof that the nose isn't what makes the face pretty! LOL!

And as a reward for being such good models, we rode the train, the new and improved one! A much bigger train and a longer route is so much better than the old one. We always enjoy it especially the boys of course.

Aerell was asleep for the most part of our session at the garden and half of the train ride as well. We did woke him up and this is my fave photo of the ones I took. Beautiful eyes, eh? hehe!
