My Christmas Gift

I asked God before Christmas for a few things. One thing that I asked Him for was to see the kids for Christmas. Yesterday Frances called me and told me that Juan was going to let her keep the kids till the 6th of January and that she would bring them by to see us. I took over 200 pictures, gave many hugs and kisses and maybe even got lice again! LOL!! Wow. Anyway, sometimes I would wonder if I would ever get to see them again and I would just be sooo sad wanting to hug them and hold their hands again. After 9 long months, I finally got to! What a wonderful gift!!!

No Sugar Plumb Visions Here....

There aren't sugar plumb's dancing through my head right now....just invitations...stamps...stars...glitter....we are getting ready for Carlos' mom's party and we are making all of the invitations by hand. So Carlos, Victoria and I are tying bows, cutting, and stamping all of these invitations, not to mention the fact that we are addressing and mailing them out. It's a lot of work. Sometimes I wonder if saving all of the money on invitations is worth it when it's 10:51 PM and I am just now getting to bed....good bonding and family time for all of us though and that is....PRICELESS.

WooooHOOOOO!

You know why I look so retarded? Cause my very first ride at Six Flags was The Titan. Needless to say, I was NOT prepared and all I kept thinking on that ride was my head could just get snapped off if something happened and we flew off the track....the last 6 seconds was fun which is why I am smiling. My hair evidently was jacked for a minute cause this little girl turned around and looked at me while we were coming back and laughed. So did Carlos and I kinda fixed it before he snapped this picture. The rest of the roller coasters were great, but wow....that first one got me.

A Day Filled With Dance Moves

Living with Carlos is ALWAYS an adventure. I am sure that the kids that we took to Six Flags on Saturday would agree. And any time you are with Carlos your time is filled with music and on a good day - dance moves. Since we were with Eva, Alfonzo and CARLOS - you got triple the dose. On our drive to Dallas we made 2 Cupid Shuffle stops. One of the kids that we took named Trevor makes all these routines up in his head. He likes to show them to everyone too. I thought that you might enjoy watching a bit of what our "dance stops" looked like - keep in mind the dancing throughout the day also included all the music at the park and I WISH I had some pictures of that. LOL!!

I do apologize for the shaking and yelling on the video.....I couldn't help it.

Just a Typical Day In The Office

I know, you aren't quite sure what this is all about....that's what I am here for...We don't have hot water at the office right now because of some remodeling. When we wash dishes we have to heat the water up. Well my Dad being who he is likes to use these HUGE coffee pots. When they are filled with water they are too heavy for me, but since he was here, he wanted to use them and he would pour it in the sink....okay....so far so good....it's kinda crazy how it happened....so here goes....See this little cutie?

Well I took the blue lid off and used the soap inside the last time I washed dishes. The lid was upside down in the sink and my dad put that huge coffee pot in the sink and filled it with water. The lid suctioned to the bottom of the coffee pot. We didn't notice it and he just sat the pot on the burner. I was sitting at my desk and I kept looking at the stove and I thought to my self, wow, that fire is high. (It is a gas stove) It just got bigger and bigger and then I realized something was wrong. So I calmly said, "Dad....whats on fire in here?" He rushed in and blew it out and it took us FOREVER to figure out what that burnt blue thing was....

Artist to Dj and Everything In Between!

Carlos has been getting after it the past couple of months. Yesterday he was painting a sign for a friend of his. The past 3 weeks, he was at a local church and he did their back drop for a sermon series called "Bling" and then he and his turntables were part of the Sunday morning worship band (3 services). Thought you might like to see one of my favorite pieces he has done and see a clip of practice for the worship service.
