It’s been pretty warm around here for a few weeks but this past week has been amazing! If only it could stay like this all summer instead of feeling like the surface of the sun it would be great! For the last couple weeks I have been noticing wild flowers as I drive down the road and trees in [...]
Our season ended today! Here is part of the Bee’s Knees celebrating the fact that we don’t have to play any more games tonight after the single elimination during playoffs.
Check out this weather forecast! Because of the forecast today I am kicking off sundress season 2010. This is todays dress!
A couple months ago when it froze for a couple days the cold tried to kill a palm tree that lives in our backyard. I kept telling JP it was dead because it looks so sad then a couple weeks ago we noticed some new growth. Today we trimmed off all of the pieces with [...]
I love the fact that you can buy pop in an 8oz can. I would say that at least 8 out of every 10 cans of 12oz pops I drink don’t get finished. I also love Big Red!
Today we played tourist and took a tour of the Cascade Caverns out in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX. This is my 2nd time going there. About 6½ years ago my dad, Lily and I went on the same tour. We found a dinosaur! Everyone smile! Good thing we got Lily her own flashlight! The leaders [...]
We love love love the weekends! Can you tell who is the most excited? I am so proud! I promised to take her picture if she posed for it this way!
After work today I went for a swim with J9. In my head I knew exactly the picture I wanted to take. It is a lot harder to take that picture that I expected! This is what I have for now! Testing, just testing! Looks like she wants to punch me! Our first challenge was [...]
Yet another one of those northern girls who are not scared to swim when the water is a little cold! Jump Janine! I however was not brave enough to swim so I stayed in the hottub.
Today we introduced J9 to queso flameado! And they sang her Happy Birthday… 13 days early!
Today we headed back to San Antonio. About an hour after we left South Padre we had to go through a checkpoint. J9 had never seen one of these before. Then we stopped to get some pictures in a field of blue bonnets. The pictures of Lily and me didn’t go very well. And J9 [...]
Today we spent the day at the beach. We chased each other around. Tried to knock each other down! We went for a swim! Since the camera is water proof I wanted to find out what I looked like to a fish. Looks more like an alien don’t you think? Then we made a sand [...]
When we asked J9 what her favorite plant was… It turns out that one of her favorite plants was growing right outside of our condo!
After a day at the beach, what is nicer than a nice, hot shower? The place we are staying at has a complete shower outside! Note to self… We have to get an outside shower, JP! An awesome start to J9 Week!
Here are the girls, heading off for fun and sun… Yikes!
We are headed down to South Padre Island, TX today! We are staying in a condo on the Gulf of Mexico for 3 nights. I have gone over the packing list again and again and I think we have it all. We have clothing √, bathing suits √, towels √, cameras √, sunscreen √, flash lights √, glow [...]
Since I had to stay home with Lily the last two days I have been using my time to get stuff done. The office is almost completely unpacked now. This is a BIG deal.. just ask anyone who saw it before this week. As I was unpacking I found a Polaroid camera. Remember those? Imagine my suprise [...]
There is nothing better than a sleeping child! Lily has never been a good sleeper. She has waken up pretty much every night for the last 7.5 years. But then a couple months ago we got her a queen size bed. In the last month or so since we got the bed I don’t remember her waking [...]
I am not even a wee bit Irish… at all. With that being said and since today is technically a holiday of sorts I had to mention it! Last week Lily pointed out that we have clovers growing in our backyard and she was looking for a four-leaf clover. She had no luck. Here is a picture [...]
After almost a year of wanting, begging, pleading, pouting, needing, yelling, whining, threatning, lusting, sighing, black mailing, warning, asking, desiring, hoping, and OMGing JP suprisingly finally got me my 32gig iPhone! Now I just need to figure out how this thing works!!
JP has opened up a new door for me into the world of art. I have always had a few paintings on the wall but never like this. For me it use to go something like … you grab a hammer and some nails, you put a painting on the nail… check that its straight… and never [...]
A new kickball season started today! Here are the Ball Kickers. Thanks Mario for picking a cool color and design for our t-shirts!
We are in Austin, TX and its a warm day … what would you do? This is what we did!! Start with a mimosa from the local coffee shop! Austin Java! Then go to the closest lake you can find! Then rent at least two jet skis! And have so much fun! Then surf the [...]
This weekend we are staying at the Hyatt on the river in downtown Austin, TX. As usual Lily woke me up at the crack of dawn to tell me she is hungry. We quietly got in the shower and headed down to the lobby while JP slept. This is a view from an escalator inside [...]
My little brother Pauly turns 25 today… gee he is getting OLD! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULY!!
When I think about the Pacific Ocean I think about crab, fish, oysters, shrimp… mmmmm! When I think about the Atlantic Ocean (which I have never been to) I think about lobster… yes! When I think about the Gulf of Mexico I do NOT think about food. Today we actually ate out of the Gulf of [...]
When we go out to dinner Lily always orders a Cherry Temple. I don’t have the heart to tell the she is saying it wrong. Every once in awhile I let her have a Cherry Temple at home. Today was a beautiful day in San Antonio so we had drinks before dinner out by the [...]
This is seriously random, but I picked the letter T and walked through the house trying to find things that started with it. You would be amazed how hard this was! What I did find is a teacup planter! And a tiger! And a telephone! And a bottle of tequila! Mission accomplished!
Today is my big brother James’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!
Welcome to Music Monday at our house! I hope you are a Beatles fan because here is the Beatles Yellow Submarine Jukebox. Acording to the internet there are only 20 of them! The design is very cool and it has all of the characters from the Beatles’ movie. It also has cool bubble tubes that run along each side of it (I tried to take [...]
When I was calling/texting around this morning for yesterday’s picture of the day Vanessa sent me these. They were taken today! Vanessa & Chris are the proud new owners of a mini-van since the baby on the way won’t fit in their Ford Escape. Here are my Michigan girls! Sofia, Isabel & Vanessa!
We never even turned the camera on today so today’s pictures are from two of my siblings. They both live in Tacoma, WA. Here is Zerah & Zane. I think this picture is adorable! Can you see my brother Pauly in this picture? He was on television! Here is a clue: He is wearing a [...]
Tonight me, JP, Tiffany and Louis ate dinner at Zio’s, the Woody Show nation would be proud! Me and Louis sang a karaokee song… that is not something I usually do!
I have been researching cameras for the last few weeks. I found the one I wanted and I ordered it yesterday afternoon around 4pm on amazon.com. I paid about $9 in shipping to have it sent 2nd day to my work. Imagine my surprise when it showed up today around 1oam!! That is less than 24 hour shipping!! [...]
JP was in San Francisco, CA for the last two days on a work trip. He emailed me these pictures. I really want to visit SF!! Here is Alcatraz. Do you see the sealions in this picture? The San Francisco, CA skyline from the water! His hotel was right next to Chinatown.
The only makeup that I wear is Estee Lauder. I love that stuff! Open up my makeup drawer at home and it is the only brand you will find. I was looking at the Estee Lauders website and I found a quote from Mrs Lauder that said “Tell-A-Phone, Tell-A-Graph, Tell-A-Woman” because she believed that if a woman tried [...]
I play softball on Tuesday nights. Besides the obvious reasons for liking it I thought of 4 more. #1 – Ponytail baby!! Suddenly a bad hair day is over! #2 – You get a new t-shirt at the beginning of every season (so far it has always been a different color)! #3 – It is the [...]
Click on the picture below!! You can see this and more on www.theoatmeal.com This is the first time I have actually made a picture link to something all by myself!! Ohhh loyal readers .. now I plan on planting hidden links in my future posts!!
I dropped Stephanie and Amanda off at the airport this afternoon. I really wish they didn’t have to leave! Here is a final picture of Stephanie and her broken foot. She is living proof that tile floors, flip flops and water do not go well together!
