Sun, Fun, and Water!

We had an amazing opportunity to go to Universal Studios today almost for free (via my husband's job). Every year the staff has a staff meeting/social outing. This year they went to Universal Studios, but they had two extra tickets. So, my sweet husband mentions to the management when he found out on Friday that maybe he could bring the kids (these outings have always been "staff only" because they are trying to create "bonding" between the employees). No one objected. So I just had to pay for myself. We had a blast! We rarely go there. My favorite ride by far was Jurassic Park, and my favorite show was ... Waterworld.




Ashley was somewhat bored (hanging out with us old folks!) until her cousins showed up ...





and brought a little excitement to her day ... --they were trying to get each other wet :)




I always enjoy seeing my husband holding hands and walking with our kids. So sweet.



And the best part is, they bought 2-day tickets, so we get to go back and do it again. Yahoo!

Sounds like fun! Gosh what a nice perk! I have never been to Universal Studios! I love the pic of Carlos and lil Carlos walking together!

Donna, it has NOTHING to do with the camera (although my husband did get me a good one). My secret is that I touch up ALL my photos in Photoshop Elements first. I am actually unable to just stick the photo on the web "as is." It's a sickness.

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
