I couldn't think of a title for this post. I think Carlos left me without words. He is wearing my boot and my sunglasses.....



Hay Carlos..........

BOOTS

Carlitos has this thing of wearing Aracely's shoes...lol I told him one day, "carlitos, those shoes are for girls and your a boy". To which he replied, "no, I am Spiderman". I couldn't stop laughing. He still continues to wear Aracelys shoes regardless of what I say. Here he is wearing Aracely's boots and proud of it.


I can't wait for him to get older and I show these to his friends/girlfriends. Or maybe I can....

hair cuts

My hair was really long already and I felt it was all out of shape. I couldn't style it anyway so I finally decided to go and get a hair cut. I am always afraid to do so because everytime I go, they leave it too short. Although before they begin cutting, I make sure they know that I don't want it short. Well, this time was no different. It's short and I am not liking it.



I keep telling myself it's ok....It will grow again....

P.S. Today is my older brothers birthday. Happy Birthday Cesar!

SURPRISE!!!

So yesterday was my birthday. I was not expecting any more birthday celebrations. At least not for this year. For a long time already, we had planned to have the fight (Marquez vs. Mayweather) at our house.

The morning started like any other. I went over to moms house for left over posole. While Tino was at work at one of his on-call calls. I later went home to clean the house fast, our guests were to arrive soon. When I got a text from my sis-in-law Martha that went on like this:

martha: hi patty what u doin
me: just here at home and u
martha: what u doin today
me: later on we are going to watch the fight remember?
martha: O yea hey where did u buy ur sofas?
me: Rc willey
martha: O yea cuz my mom want new sofas q miro en la Olympia furniture
me: she had mentioned she saw some she had liked. Where is that at?
martha: my dad gave me money 2 buy them but my mom don’t know
me: really? That’s a nice surprise :)
martha: so queria q si me acompanadas a ver los aver si entre las 2 we pick some nice ones
me: when were u thinking?
martha: today maybe later like at 5 y ya despues nos vamos a ver la pelea
me: yeah that’s fine where do I meet u or how do u want to do it?
martha: I will go pick u up y asi ayi dejo a carlos con 4tino
me: that’s funny cause fortino was just saying the same thing :)
martha: jajaja o yea ok then ill call u when im going ok
me: ok
(half an hour later)
martha: ya voy
me: ok

and off we drove to the furniture store. We asked the lady stuff, I sat on some sofas and even a dinning table I fell in love with. After looking around for a while, we ended up going to another furniture store that had nothing nice. The furniture there was like fun size candy bars, their sofas were so small. We didn't last too long there. Then off we drove to the house. Martha was telling me how hungry she was and I started to worry because I had talked to Tino about making some food for the guest we were going to have over for the fight. He insisted that chips and drinks were enough. I wondered what I could possible fix really quick, and as I opened the door I was greeted with a loud "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" scream from all the people I LOVE. I was about to cry, especially when I looked over to mom and she had tears in her eyes ( i am sure she felt the same thing I felt, blessed ! I am blessed to still have her with me after all that shes been thru and I am sure she felt bless to share that special moment with me) What kept me from crying? My in-laws are not too sentimental and so I was a little embarrased. I am sure that if I had cried, they would make fun of me for ever. I can let them do that =)

Tino prepared the surprise all on his own. I have to give him credit for getting everything ready without me even suspecting that something was going on. I love you baby....you never cease to amaza me.

Happy Birthday to ME....

I thought I would be depressed or saddened to turn one year older, but it was not like that at all. I am not a year older....I am a year wiser =)

I was reminded of how lucky I am to have such wonderful friends and family. From phone calls, to text messages, e-mails and hugs...thank you all for your wishes. I am so blessed :)

At work I was surprised with a delicious lunch from Buca Di Beppos. I ♥ pasta. These gals know me so well. And we also had yummy-licious chocolate cake.

Gracias Chicas =)

At home, mom made her famous posole. Ohhhh....it was soooo good. Gracias mami.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I had a great Birthday =) and it made me look forward to next year :)

she LOVES tinker bell

Aracely LOVES Tinker Bell. She was amazed to see Tinker Bell fly over the magical castle in Disneyland during our visit in March. She cried when Tinker Bell flew away. Whats funny is that when I was pregnant, I wanted the theme of her room to be Tinker Bell. Then I thought I would just let her decide (once she is old enough). And so far it seems it's going to be Tinker Bell.

Aracely is going thru a phase of wanting to go to school, and asked that we buy her a back pack. When I asked her what she wanted on her back back, she said Tinker Bell. It's Tinker Bell for everything!!! Tinker Bell this and Tinker Bell that.....silly girl

Baby Girl

I tend to buy stuff just because.....

Most of the time its because I find really good deals. Other times is because I find a really good deal and I like it very much. This album and the patterned paper is proof of that. I fell in love with this paper and wish I would of found it when I was doing Aracelys baby album (sigh). Anyway, I just finished this album and I know exactly who I am going to give it to. I hope she likes it, cause I certainly do :)

 

Dear Summer,

You left already? We are sure going to miss you. Next time you come around, please make sure you bring tons of fun memories like this one.

HIS and HERS

I had been eyeing a phone for a very long time. I was already getting bored of my hot pink razor. I fell inlove with the behold and today we went to get it and Tino got one as well.

the ZOO

My mother in law invited us to her company picnic party and I am so happy and thankful she did. We had a good time at the Zoo, ate burgers and played bingo. I took a bunch of pictures, but here are my favorite:

Carlos, Angel, Aracely and Aida making a wish.

This ball is in the entry of the zoo and it is always surrounded by kids. Aracely joined in the fun. I think anything with water will get their attention.

We rode the train. The driver was nice enough to take us a picture.

There is a baby elephant at the zoo. She was born on August 10, 2009 and weighed 251 pounds. She seemed to have all the attention. There was a line just to see her. c-u-t-e !!!

Here is another picture of them, they were my favorite. I think I really could have just stood there watching them all day long. The little elephant followed her mother everywhere. At times we were even thinking her mom was going to step on her. But she didn't =). The dad was on the other side. I wish I would have taken a picture. I still can't decide who she looks like the most...LOL (ok, that was a lame joke!)

Here are some monkeys =) on a rhino.

Another baby at the zoo was a giraffe born on July 31, 2009. I don't remember her weight or height, but she is a cutie.

Here I am with Cely. We had just finished eating.

And here is Tino with Carlos. Waiting for the raffle to begin.

Aracely and Aida wearing their consolation prizes. They had a ton of cool prizes, but Carlitos was the only one that won something......a backpack!

After lunch we went for another walk. Aracely has no problem holding our hand while we walk. Carlos on the other hand, well u get the picture.

We rode the carousel 3 times.


By the time we got off, I was so dizzy. Carlos and Aracely were up for another ride.

silly kids

Aracely looks so different with her bangs. I love her look.





Carlos wouldn't stay out of the picture!

LUNCH

I met my lovely family for lunch today. We had yummy food from Panda. I ♥ Panda.


and I ♥ my family.

DIEGO

Our new pet. Like if we need anymore. I thought two pitbulls and two fishes were more than enough, but I guess I was wrong.


Carlos and Aracely love Diego. And by the way he follows them around, I know he ♥'s them too.

mi NINO mi NINA

and Andres. They came over for the "long" weekend. I wish they could have stayed longer.

We miss them already =)

Carlitos was way excited to see his Nino and his Nina.

thoothpick anyone?

Carlos is such a little trouble maker. He threw all the thoothpicks on the floor and had no intention of picking them up. Instead, he knelt down and played !
