carnival

so the carnival was in town last week. uncle corey or "toula" met us up there on Friday night. the kids loved rinding the bears with him...they spin around as you turn the steering wheel, the faster you turn the faster it turns. they had a blast. the next night i took them back and they quickly told me i didn't spin it as good as corey. i drug lil earl on to the texas tornado (looks like spider legs that come from the center. each arm has 4 chairs and a wheel in middle. spin wheel to spin your podas leg spins you opposite way)about 2 spins in he was LOVING it and i thought i was gonna hurl!!! him and his friend were yelling SPIN IT FASTER!!!! next time uncle corey gets the duty! he wanted to ride it again as soon as we got off, but alas, we didn't have enough tickets. aw, shux!!!! he went back to the bears which then got the "these are lame" rating. boo was mad they wouldn't let her ride the tornado. so, i have adrenaline junkies...............anyone wanna take them to six flags?

in the army now

here are the kids wearing their army shirts that my oldest nephew, "Wittle Way" (little rey) sent them. he recently enlisted in the army and we miss him. Luv ya, "wittle way"!!!!

more mother's day

so, on here are the pics of the kiddos plants, ah hum, flowers i received for mother's day. and here are a couple more videos. lil earl is reading his mother's day poem at our mother's day tea that he wrote(they had to read it in front of the whole class and all of the children's moms). it's hard to understand, but here's what it says: "Dear Mom, I love when we ride our bikes. I love how you take me to the park. I love you to play with me. But most of all Mom, I love you! Love, Bryce"
they are just so sweet at times!!!!

happy mother's day

hope everyone had a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
the kiddos and hubby took me to samurai of tokyo......yes, i have them trained :)
i'll try to post pics of their plants that they gave me later..........
feeling blessed......................

shoulda been a cowgirl......

once a year at work we get to go to a product show where we see the newest latest and greatest stuff. the people we buy our supplies from put us up in the westin galleria. we usually go shopping and out to eat and of course, ALWAYS have fun. this year, we decided to get a LIMO for the same price we usually spend on taxis. we had a BLAST!!!! as always, there was the bull riding event.......hence, the last post. all 9 of us wore tiaras and even the limo driver, who was a bald dude, wore one. one picture is of me hijacking the limo before he saw the flash of the camera taking my picture and came running and made me get out. (goofy guy shouldn't have left it running!!) anyways, thanks girls...............it was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the way, i rode the bull TWICE!!!!!!!!

i fought the bull and the bull won.................

here are a few of my favorite random pictures that i've taken.

ferocious butterflies....

so, i have a problem with taking a MILLION pictures and was editing them and found this one. i thought it was too funny. i took it right outside of the butterfly exhibit. check out boo's face.......should've been a sign what she thought of the flying monsters. hee hee hee!!!! never a dull moment. can't wait for the next zoo trip....think i'll take her into the bird exhibit....mwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh haaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

p.s. some might think that seems mean but she laughs afterwards and now loves hearing the story. i will tell it to her then say, " now, do you wanna go see the butterflies?" to which she replies" NO!!!!!!!"

family caricature

we had lots of fun on our last family vacation. the kids wanted "to be made into a cartoon" and daddy said ok.....so, voila. our family picture. the second one i edited and thought it was funny.... who knows?!? i always tell benito he gets dark in the summer...........
