VACATION

I've been going to Vacationland these past couple of weeks, reliving our vacation this summer so I can forget about the stress of starting school, job hunting, paperwork for job hunting, photoshoot, etc.

So I thought I'd take you with me and share just a few pics of our first couple of days in Texas (that was our first stop). We went there to spend some time with Carlito's family. It was great (except for the extreme heat and humidity, lol!).

This is a photo of some of the family we visited. We were at a pool. I took the picture before everyone started wilting from the heat :)
This is Ashley and her two favorite cousins. They're always together.
This is a great example of the huge spread of food they have when they get together. It just cracks me up every time. I LOVE it!!
And check it out ... they took us to a mall with an ICE SKATING RINK inside it!! Is that too cool or what??!! Perfect in the summer :) (excuse the glare; there were a ton of people, and this was the best vantage point I could get)
This is a picture I took as we were on our way to the mall. It was just before sunset ... a PERFECT time for taking pictures, and I couldn't resist--even though we were going 65 miles per hour on the highway.

There's nothing better than a good spread to bring people together! Here's to convivium!

Missing You

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 :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Another Layout

Credits here . Can you tell how I've been spending my free time :) I had the most fun taking these pictures! I just asked Ashley to tell me a story (she is quite the storyteller and quite the drama queen--she takes after her aunt, lol!) . As she was telling her GREAT story, I just used the "continuous" mode in the fancy, shmancy camera and shot away. Went to Seal Beach today with Teena . So fun and relaxing. Why don't I have pictures to share? Ummm, I kind of forgot the CF card (to store the pictures on) at home. That's only the second time in less than a week that I've done that. Aren't you proud of me?! In case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a total "spaz." :)
