We were eating m&m's one day and Aracely kept asking for the green-changogo. I asked her which one was that one and she continously pointed at the green m&m. I tried vey much to understand where she got the changogo from, but as much as I thought about it, I couldn't figure it out. Anyway, days went by and this morning I heard her playing with this toy.

Everytime you press a key it says the shape and color. Aracely pressed the red circle and repeated after the toy. Then she pressed the green triangle and that's when I heard her say, "green-changogo". I could not stop laughing. Finally I knew where she got that from. Mystery solved....yeiii. I keep thinking about this little incident and it's just too hard not to laugh out loud =)

My lunch today is brought to you by Rumbi Grill, a hawaiian restaurant I was brave enough to give a try. It turned out that it's one of my favorite. People that know me know that I am not the kind of girl that gives anything I try. I like to stick to what I already like. I know I need to explore more of my many options, but I am just scared to not like whatever I try. I promise I'll work on it :)

We went to Chuck-E-Cheesse, where a kid can definately be a kid ! Aracely and Carlos enjoyed themselves so much. They ran from one machine to another wanting to put coins in everyone of them.

We are so addicted to these hershey's chocolate with crunchy almonds bar. They are just so yummy-licious and hard to stay away from. Geeees....another bad addiction !

Remember that guessing game we played on 011/365 about Fuego en la Sangre? Well today is the day. Apparently, Carlitos won ! It was so funny we couldn't stop laughing. The funniest thing is that Aracely and Carlos had no idea what we were laughing about, but joined us. We are definately all for one and one for ALL !!!

Carlos....What have you done ???

When ever the house is silent it only means two things. Either the kids are asleep or they are entertaining themselves in what ever way they find possible. I know... I got there a little too late. Carlos had already emptied the litte container of vaseline we carelessly left behind. Tino bathed him and after several applications of shampoo, Carlitos' head was smelling good and no longer sticky or shiny.

Monday + Presidents' Day = Day Off :)

I was so looking forward to this long weekend =) I've come to the conclusion that I would love to work 4 days and have 3 days off. I'll work on it !

Anyway, we went on a field trip to the Aquarium. I couldn't believe the long line that awaited us in able to get in, but it was definately worth it. Aracely and Carlos enjoyed it a bit more than what I was expecting (score!).



This is the closest I've ever been to a stingray. Tino, Aracely and Carlos even got to touch them. I didn't dare too. I know....I should be ashamed of myself.

Dear Blog,

I am not feeling very good today. Maybe tomorrow will be a better and brighter day. Until then, we will meet again!

Happy Valentines Day !

Dear Tino,

Thank you so very much for the beautiful roses. I love you so very much and appreciate all you do for me. Love you lots !

Patty



I altered these yummy king size hershey bars for my friends at work. Although it was a last minute thing. I really like how they turned out =)

P.S. Today is my nephews birthday. (Happy Birthday Meño) I can't believe he is already 16 !

025/365

Everytime we give Aracely and Carlos something to snack on, they sit themselves on the stairs and enjoy what ever we hand to them. I am thinking they will need a bath after having a couple of pieces of this sweet and juicy melon.

Pepsi. Another one of my addictions. I don't know how I got addicted. I am sure I can stop anytime I want, but it won't take too long for me to go back to my bad habbit.

023/365

I tend to follow up with Kristinas Blog because she makes beautiful cards. I've been wanting to participate in one of her color inspiration challenges but I am not very good making cards. However, this particular color inspiration really inspired me. I must be on a Valentines Day mood =)





Anyway, here is my card.

We had tortas de Chorizo for dinner. I am not quiet sure if its an authentic mexican "dish", but it sure was delicious.

021/365

Todays picture is curtesy of Tino....LOL....I came home to find this picture in my camera. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw it.

Aracely and Carlitos love to eat fruit. Aracely however has a special love for oranges. She has a unique way of eating them, she starts with the outside and works herself in. Funny Girl !

I "discovered" scrapbooking in 2003. I started out with one of those kits that they sell at Wal-Mart. After that, I was in love. My love for this hobby grew along with my supplies. I now use the spare bedroom we have in our home to store the proof of my never ending love for scrapbooking. Here is my desk filled with paper stacks, flowers, ribbon, cardstock, acrylic paints, glitter, stamps, stamp pads, eyelets, brads and of course, my cricut.

Here I have my 3in1 printer. Under that is my old Sizzix. I know that trend is no longer in, but I can't seem to part with my old & heavy red die cutter. On top of that is a bin full of more ribbon. I just couldn't resist.

I love my tote ! It stores all my very much needed supplies while I scrapbook. My different types of adhesives including my ATG gun, scissors, pens, fiskars and provo craft trimmers and other miscellaneous stuff.

More goodies. On top of this awesome find from wal-mart, I have my so much loved iPOD. Can't scrap without music. Top drawer holds my punches. Middle drawer holds envelope and some empty bottles from my prima flowers that I can't seem to get rid of. I know they are going to be useful someday. Bottom drawer is full of sizzix dies.

And last but not least, this built in shelf. I know it may not actually be a shelf, but I made it one. And it's been very useful. My 11 Cricut Carts sit on it very well. Along with more eyelets, brads, foam brushes and other miscelaneous embellishments. The clear bin holds alphabet rub-ons and some chipboard. The pink bin holds more rub-ons that I've collected from the times I've been to the Scrapbook Expo. The green bin holds all of my clear stamps. I love those, especially the flourishes =) The pink basket is just full of more miscellaneous stuff.

Every morning before I go to work, I make sure to have my cup of coffee. I can't go without it, I am addicted !

017/365

Aracely won't stop singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She does not know the exact words to it, but she tries. Another song she is all into is a spanish one called, No Te Metas Con Mi Cucu. It's so funny so watch her sing this one. She even has some dance moves to it :) I see a future celebrity in her...LOL....

Aracelys grandma gave her these shoes a long time ago. Problem is, they are too big for her. I don't know how many times I've hidden these shoes from her, but somehow she always manages to find them. I think I need to find a better hiding spot, but I am afraid of hiding them so well, that I might not even find them once Aracely is ready to use them.

015/365

Today is Tino's Birthday. Happy Birthday BABY !!! And to celebrate we went to Training Table (a Utah Original) for lunch. I love their Turkey Bacon Sandwich and their Cheese Fries. oh and their Fry sauce....heck we just love that place. And here is the proof....

014/365

Aracely is spending the night at Grandmas. That means play-time (aka scrapbooking) for me. I was able to finish this baby album. Here are a couple of my favorite pages. Now I just need to get some pictures printed.

013/365

Tino told me about this movie. And as he told me about it, he said "It's one of those movies that would make you cry".

I watched it today, and as it went on I didn't think too much about it. That is until towards the end. Sure enough, it made me cry. It reminded me of how lucky I have been to experience two wonderful pregnancies.

012/365

We had dinner at our place to celebrate Tino's Twenty-something Birthday. Nothing BIG, just family. It was fun =)
