I have always struggled to eat with chopsticks but at last someone has finally invented the ultimate aide! Check out the Chopstick Helper! And it works!

We have these beautiful flowers growing on the side of the house all over the fence. I didn’t notice them until the other day but I love them! There are tons of them! Does anyone know what they are called?

The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center was at our work again today. This was my 6th donation, only two more and I am up to one gallon of blood donated! Here I am donating. Last time after I donated Lily asked me to take a picture of the bag of blood so she can [...]

We had our 3rd game of the season today! The final score was 9-3!!! Thats a 3-0 season so far. For today’s picture we have one extra player, our favorite umpire Javier! After the game we went to the local SSC (San Antonio Sports and Social Club / www.sanantoniossc.com) hangout Tycoon Flats. I discovered a new very annoying [...]

…sun! I don’t think I have ever seen this before today! We are suppose to hit 90° today so maybe that has something to do with it?   Acording to the internet: Cause The ring is caused by sunlight or moonlight being diffracted as it passes through cirrostratus clouds that are usually at altitudes above 20,000 [...]

Today we hosted the end of kickball season bbq. Sorry fans no more Ball Kickers until the fall! We took 165 or so photos and it was very hard to narrow it down to just these few! Here is Gabby loving the slide! Here are a few of the ball kicking parts of the Ball Kickers! Can [...]

For a couple weeks we have been talking about getting fish for the fountain in the backyard! Today was the day. We are the proud new owners of 17 new fish and a bunch of bling for the fountain. Here they are waiting to come out of the bag. We finally released them! Lily has [...]

Check out what was in our neighbors mailbox this afternoon! JP was the hero! He got it out of there with a stick! Only in Texas my friends… only in Texas! Then about 15 minutes later JP spotted this much larger dude in our backyard!

Today is my brother Jon’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON!

Today is Earth Day 2010! When we were at HEB getting food for dinner they gave us a free reusable grocery bag. I told Lily to Ta-Da and this is what I get. Very typical. Ta-Da take two!

Today I showed Lily that we can make videos from my iphone. Here is her response HotDiggityDog. Then she wanted to show her appreciation for everyone coming to our website HiThisIsLily. Hope you enjoyed them, more videos to come!

A couple weeks ago JP and me went and bought a new washer and dryer at Lowe’s. This past Sunday they came to install them but the installer didn’t know how to change the doors so that they would open in the direction that we wanted them to. Today another guy from Lowe’s came and [...]

As of today I have worked at the same company for 7 years. My team bought me cupcakes! Good choice because anyone who knows me well knows that I love ladybugs and I love cupcakes!

We had our 2nd game of the season today and we won 8-6! Can I get a woot woot? Here is Captain Marv yelling at us to play harder! Who knew Rickey was a ballerina in his past? Liz is chillin’ cause you know…. she’s cool like that! HalfNutz on three. One, two…. Left to [...]

I checked the mail today and guess what I found? I almost forgot .. I can’t believe I almost forgot they were coming in the mail! It is no secret that I love me some country music and the best country music is live! This is like a concert dream come true for me! Reba McEntire (who I [...]

It’s Fiesta time in San Antonio. This is both JP and my first time doing anything Fiesta! It is an 11 day festival that has been celebrated since 1891 or 1959 depending on which article you read!  For more information you can go here www.fiesta-sa.org Today we had tickets to the river parade (Side note: Seriously, you need [...]

Test

We had our last two games of the season today. Overall we finished 2nd place in the league. Our final record was 8-1! Left to right we have Jerry, Obie, Bobby, Barbara, Jeff, Sarah, Me, Cathy, Joey & Cesar.

Yesterday I made a deal with Lily that if it rained really hard I would go outside and play in the rain with her. Last night there was not much falling out of the sky. This morning is a different story. And surprise surprise she remembered her deal with me. I told her that we [...]

Although Lily finally sleeps through the night she still likes to wake up early on Saturday mornings. Almost every Saturday morning I wake up and make her frozen pancakes. Yes, frozen. In my defense she totally loves them. Oh and we make them as unhealthy as possible. Lots of whipcream and sprinkles. She also makes [...]

When JP got home today he said that he had a t-shirt for me. I kinda made fun of it because I knew what it was. Then he asked me why I didn’t respond to a question he text to me two times today. I told him it was only one time. He made a [...]

JP gets full credit for todays pictures. I thought it was cool that I saw a Road Runner in the parking lot  today until he told me what he saw. Check out these three birds hanging out in the neighborhood eating a squirel.  I looked them up and found out they are American Black Vultures. [...]

We started a new season of softball today. Our team this season is almost the same as our original season when we took it all the way and won the championship.  I was unable to play last season with them but this is my 4th season being a HalfNutzer! Tonights game was a lot of fun. [...]

About a year ago JP turned me on to the hair products at Origins. If you have never smelled Clear Head Mint Shampoo or Conditioner do yourself a favor, go find the closest Origins store and smell it. The first few times I tried it I only used it because I ran out of the shampoo [...]

My sister Vanessa had her baby today! Happy Birthday Cael Robertson. He is by far her biggest baby weighing in at 8lbs 1 oz! Here is Vanessa and Cael.  And here is her family.  Isabel, Chris, Cael & Sofia.  I had to throw these two pictures in here too. This is Isabel.  And here is [...]

This is too funny not to share. I always take Lily to her dad around 6 o’clock on Saturdays. I was on my way back home when I got a phone call from JP. He was asking when I would be home.  Then he told me he went to check out the shed in our [...]

Today is my oldest brothers birthday. Happy Birthday Richard!!

JP and I went on a date for the first time in a long time tonight. We started at Wildfish and then ended up at Stonewerks. A good time had by both of us!

There are some things here in Texas that are way different than anywhere else I have lived. One of the strangest things we have encountered are the trees. They call them oak, but they are not the same oak as the trees up north. The keep their leaves all winter and then in March the leaves finally [...]

When we were in the produce isle at the grocery today I saw fresh corn on a cob. Where the heck is corn growing right now? JP said  maybe in Chile. Lily was very excited, she loves corn on the cob! A couple days before Easter I was in the grocery store with Lily. When we walked [...]

Today is my niece Janine’s birthday! Happy Birthday Janine! I couldn’t decide which picture to post!  

We like nachos. No actually we ♥ nachos. When I think of nachos I think of a plate with chips piled high, meat, tomatoes, black olives, and tons of greasy cheese melted on top.  We have learned that is not the norm around San Antonio. It all started over a year ago when we were at Fatso’s. [...]

Yesterday we celebrated Easter with Rickey and his family. Lots of delicious bbq, cascarones, a pinata and even an easter egg hunt. We even went for rides on the 4-wheeler. Here is a picture of Lily and Rickey on one of the 4-wheelers. Not to long after this picture was taken I jumped on and JP and me followed Rickey [...]

This morning when Lily woke up the Easter Bunny had brought her a basket. Then she discovered that the Easter Bunny had hidden eggs in the backyard. Some of them were even in the bottom of the pool! Which one is the Easter Lily? The ones that were in the hottub were very easy to [...]

This evening JP put the hose in the pool to bring the water level up a little bit. Lily had a lot of fun playing with the hose as it sprayed into the water (and all over the concrete). When I was walking past the pool they double dog dared me to jump in fully [...]

So as I was cooking dinner today I had two different thoughts. I made the lasagna from Mom Z’s cookbook and I realized that if my parents were still alive  I know exactly what they would be eating for dinner tonight. When I told JP that I knew what they would be eating he said “Ok, what [...]
