Red Bull Bird Shit

Too funny! and FIRES

Naty and I were watching desperate Housewives (don't tell him I told you) and this funny commercial came on that made us bust up!

man on man!

The fires are going strong and getting worse. I can't believe people can be so heartless and ruin families lives and cause so much harm to everyone. Those evil people don't deserve to live, I wish we could find these people and throw them from a plane into the fire. The sky looks like hell has come over us with orange and red shooting from the sun and ashes falling everywhere you go. The air quality is bad, I can only imagine how bad it is for the people right in the giant mess. It is horrible out there, I pray they don't come over here again, that was a horrible time that I will never forget. Anyway, I pray they contain this demon fast and get everyone back into their homes soon.

Let's see, school is getting even harder now that we're half way in and all my teachers decided to plan their tests all in the same week. That means more studying and less me time, great! Well good thing our Vegas vacation is coming up so we'll be able to relax really soon. We were going to go on a cruise but they wanted to charge us about $300 more for that week of thanksgiving so we said forget it! I'd rather wait, that would be $1200 more for all of us, no thank you. We always have a good time in vegas so this time we'll go to at least 2 shows and go out of the vegas boundries to explore.

Oh and once again, I'm having christmas eve at my house, so you all are welcome to come. We still have a lot to do to get the house ready but I have faith in Naty and know he can do it! he put the front door in the day before xmas last year and was still working on it minutes before everyone showed up, we pulled that off great! Hopefully that won't be this year.

God give me Strength

I've had a wild week, first Bubbs was sick with a stomach bug then Audrey got it and she's finally better! she was sooooo sick and had a high fever. I had to miss 3 days of school cause she wouldn't be accepted back into daycare till she was fever free for 24 hours. Then today (friday) Bubbs didn't have school so they were driving me nuts! Naty worked till really late again and I was left with them fighting and crying the whole day. I had to jump in a couple of times, LOL. They're really good kids too but I don't know what happened today.

Naty got home so late and ate, played with the kids a little, took a shower and went to bed. I feel bad for him cause he's beat! He says the job is winding down now and he'll be home more often starting next wed. or thurs. We'll see! he's been saying that since the beginning of the year!

Oh forgot to mention that it was my chubby bear's b-day on the 10th! I had him a dinner and everyone came and we had a good time. He was mostly excited about his friend Frank coming cause that guy always leaves us hanging. He was so happy that he came by. I put up a big sign that said Happy B-day and bought balloons too. Then I got home cooked and cleaned, all while Audrey was sick! I'd run back and forth. My poor baby. Oh when we went to party city she wanted to barf in there cause she got scared of the halloween stuff. Poor thing, she's said, "mommy I wanna throw up cause I'm scared mommy, lets leave, please" so we walked to target while they blew up the balloons, she was scared out of her mind! But overall all the hard work was worth it cause 3 days later naty is still thanking me. I love him :-)

I also started crocheting a bit. I remember my granny teaching me when I was younger but I didn't remember so Naty took us to Michael's cause I was determined to learn again so we came across this nice lady that taught me really fast in the store. I got the beginning steps but then forgot the rest so Monica and Jose were down visiting that day so Monica taught me again. I'm now on my 3rd scarf. First I did one for myself, then one for Audrey and now this one is for Bubbs teacher. He wanted one for her so bad so I had to. He keeps checking up on me and making sure that I'm still doing it, he knows me too good!

My nephew was also born this week (10/8/07) and he weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. we still haven't met him since the kids have been sick. I don't want him getting sick cause of us so I'd rather play it safe. I'm so anxious to see him so hopefully Naty gets home early tomorrow so that we can meet him finally!

Let's see, what else?!?!? Oh I'm having a lil Halloween get together on Halloween day, its just something that I love doing. I make italian type food and order pizza and me and the kids just work on sweets the whole time till the evening comes, then they go trick or treating with everyone while I stay behind and pass out candy. Oh and last year a house down the street had a really good haunted house so we're hoping they do it again this year. It was honestly the best one I've ever been too, it was soooooooooo good! Then we'll watch some movies once everyone gets back. I wish it was a weekend cause then I could have had a real party with music and all but Arlene is having a party on the 27th so thats good enough! Actually Eddie is having his halloween party tomorrow in fresno but we're not going after all, we were gonna go with Alex to Vegas for Mayra's b-day but he ended up canceling and Naty's working now so no biggie. I hate being home alone, I get so bored, hopefully he doesn't leave me all day, wwwwaaaaahhhhh!!

anyway, its really late and I'm still up washing clothes. I better go get my beauty sleep now. see ya soon.

Hot, cold, hot, cold

what is up with this weather, I wish it would just stay cold! it was cold on friday, then a lil warm on sat. then hot today! gggggrrrrr

Yesterday we went to Naty's Unions Picnic and then to visit his cousins in south Gate, we hadn't seen them in a while so it was good to reunite, they're always so inviting and cool people. Then on the way home Bubbs got sick in the car and grossed us all out, LOL, it was horrible, something out of a horror film. But he's feeling a lot better now and acting crazy as usual.

well last weekend Naty and his dad got to put the nice wood on the porch ceiling and it came out soooooooo good! all we need to do is stain it, prob. after the stucco is done. Here's some pics.

It's Friday

(Savannah in Pic)

and Audrey and I didn't go to school cause we're coming down with something, well actually Aud has a cold and I have some type of fever......sucks!

I had the best news yesterday when Naty said he wasn't working Saturday, damn he never takes a break and it drives me nuts! I have a paper and 2 test to study for, for next week so that will be a big help. We were also invited to a quincera and someone's surprise B-day party (not saying) but not sure if we'll make it to either. If Naty took the day off then that means he wants to be productive, so he'll probably want to work on the house, who knows?!?

So I guess everyone is going to Eddie's Halloween party but Naty was wanting to go to Vegas for his B-day but I honestly don't want to go anywhere, its so hard being in school cause I have a test that following weekend and I'm already stressing it. I should just stay home.

Last weekend we went to meet Michelle's baby for the first time. That poor lil guy has been through so much in his lil life. I was glad we finally got to meet him and he's too cute, he looks like a lil man, I wanted to squeeze him, hahahahaha, poor baby, I know that he's getting way better though and thats all that matters. Carol had a dinner for all of us and it was nice to chill with family, oh and it was raining! my favorite thing ever! love rain and Pat looks like he's getting better, at one time he looked out of it then he ate and was back to his clown self. I hope he's taking care of himself.

OHH and while we were at Pat and Carol's Bubbs was at Disneyland with his nina. Man won't even go into what happened that morning........ggggggrrrrrrr, lets just say me and Naty got into it. Damn we were so mad at each other, hahahahahahaha, I wanted to pimp slap him and I know he wanted to do the same to me, but we made up about an hour later. :-)

I'm hoping I get to see Savannah (Vanessa's Baby) today, so I'm going to call her later, I know she'll be at the quince tomarrow but like I said don't know if we'll go. I miss that lil girl, shes the cutest thing! and Our lil niece Lorena too!! she's so big already! she's hilarious and laughs so easily. Oh and can't forget lil Mia, that lil chubby thing, she loved Naty last week but didn't want to come with me, I made her come with me and she kept pulling on my ear ring, ouch!!! we'll prob. see our niece today, oh and Veronica is about to pop, she's being induced on Oct. 11th so we'll have our nephew soon. I already went crazy on the shopping for him :-)

Well I better get back to this house, everything is calling me. I just need to clean up a bit then I can relax.......

Mia chillin at Balboa Beach

French Doors are In!

Naty, his dad and uncles all made this possible! It took them all day Sunday when they swore they'd be done fast but didn't know they would have to tare down some of the wall and rebuild it. They did an awesome job and its still in progess.

here's a before pic from 3 years ago, forgot to take one before they tore down the wall

Our New Window

We're still working on the house and yes its taking forever but only because we're doing it ourselves and Naty's been working a lot so this weekend was his first full weekend (plus labor day) that he has had off so he decided to put in our new window. I decided that a window would be better than the door that leads to the backyard since we have a sliding door that we use all the time and plus we're building a deck out there and I wanted a place to put the outside furniture. So we closed off the door and now we can put in cabinets and have more storage space. I found some cool cabinets at lowe's and they'll be perfect! Naty and his dad slaved in the hot sun to make me happy :-)

Before-Outside: I forgot to take a pic before the canopy went up thats why you can barely see it but you get the picture.

After: from the inside, I need to get a better pic of the outside once the paper is off the window.

Look what School did for Audrey!

Audrey learned how to use the computer in 2 short days at school. She usually plays with Bubbs but now I let her play by herself. She's already wanting to play all day long (not happening!) or use my Laptop (she's nuts!) and is loving it. She loves school a lot and even wants to go on the days that we don't have school like labor day for instance, its like she knew it was a weekday and begged me to take her to school, LOL! I guess thats a good thing.

And Bubbs is still having a ball in the after school program and would rather be there than here (don't blame him), he has friends to play with and much more energetic adults to play with too. He's making me something but still hasn't brought it home.

I'm still loving school, this is the 3rd week and I've been on top of things and have a planner that keeps me on track. I'm hoping to get straight A's but we'll see. I'm dedicating myself a lot more to school and hoping to graduate with honors. All of my teachers have been awesome so far and the people are all good looking and in shape but still immature like in the CC I went to, oh well I guess that'll never change, besides I'm immature at times too.

For Labor Day weekend we went to Balboa Beach again and again I forgot my damn camera so I'm going to hit up Arlene and Laura for pics so that i can post some. Meanwhile you can just imagine it. hehehehehe we had a bomfire at the end and it was cool. Anyway, I'm just glad this heatwave is over, it hit 112 on most days and its finally back in the 90's (which I'm loving) it beats the 100's, it was awful!

Ramblings

We all went to the beach last Sunday and had a blast! so we decided to go again. This time I'm taking my camera. The waves were crazy and kicking our asses. We had so much fun and I was glad that almost everyone could make it.

Bubbs is now in the after school program at his school and loving it. Today was his first day and he asked why did I pick him up, LOL!! he said he had a blast playing with all the other kids. I think this will help him cause he's so shy and doesn't really like talking to other people. Hopefully he'll get out of his shell.

As for Audrey she's talking more and more at school, her teachers say she's sharing a lot more with them. They had asked me if she can talk in the beginning, hell yeah she can!

I did so much today and it hit 106 degrees, I was soooooooo damn hot being out in the street running errands but I kept at it. I had so much to do and I'm doing homework now while Bubbs and Naty play video games. Oh and today is my mom's b-day so we took her out to eat with grandma.

ok, I think thats it..........my head is spinning still from earlier.

Go Titans!

I'm in! Cal State Fullerton University that is! and man oh man its been an exciting ride so far. Monday I found out I was accepted into the school so I was on the phone and internet most of the time trying to get classes and I finally got in! here's my classes.

Personal health: MWF (10-10:50)

Nutriton TTh (2:30-3:45)

Stress Management T (4-6:45)

Sociology of Gender TTh (11:30-12:45)

Audrey has also started daycare and loves it! She's painting, singing, learning new things and has new friends. I was scared that she was going to cry but she's not scared anymore and loves going.

As for Bubbs, he loves his new teacher, she's really young and looks like she can keep up with them all. He's just growing and growing and up to my nose now. He's been good at waking up too, he would cry and fight me to wake up but now he just goes with the flow!

Audrey gave us a scare

My mom picked up the kids (yesterday) to take them to a birthday party, I wanted to spend the day cleaning and mostly organizing the office since I would be starting school tomarrow (Tues). So I stood behind and got to work once they left, about an hour and a half later my mom calls me saying Audrey is acting weird, somewhat lethargic and not wanting to talk. At first I thought it was my fault cause I had given her rotted milk (by accident!) but the symptoms sound more like heatstroke or mild heatstroke at least. Well my mom rushed her home (after wetting her and giving her juice) and she seemed a lil tired, I then put a wet towel on her head and fed her ravioli, she ended up eating 3/4 of the can! she's not a big eater so thats a lot for her to eat! I also started to think maybe I didn't feed her enough in the afternoon and she could have been hungry on top of the heat. My poor baby.......here's a pic of her after watching 2 movies when she came home and finally took a nap.

More Camping Pictures

Here are more pictures I found of our camping trip

Stop MOM! Don't take any more pictures of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

Our set up, I couldn't find any of Bubbs since he always hides and hates pictures, I usually have to bribe him or make him take pics. ggggrrrrrrrrr

Sorting through pictures

and I found some of when we went camping with the whole family last labor day (I think it was labor day) I was just suprised to see these since I don't remember taking pictures. We're not big on camping but I believe if you're prepared and organized you can have a good time. As of right now we're neither so we'll wait till we're a lil more situated to even think about going camping again. I remember once going with my aunt Sarah and Eddie and boy was that an experience (besides me getting in trouble for cussing like a sailor in front of the lil christian kids). I remember it being so nice and relaxing cause she was very prepared and had everything we needed. But since I didn't do my research and didn't go with everything I needed (recently), I did not like it one bit! I want my kids to experience everything so I haven't scratched the camping thing off the list quite yet. I'll give it one more chance and if its not what I hoped it would be (after being organized and prepared) then I'll give it up, LOL!

Had to be Danny to flip off the camera and kill the picture

Beach Day!

Naty has been coming home early (working only 8 hours, compared to 12!), so friday we packed it up and went to the beach. The kids were so happy and searching for their buckets but only found their easter ones which work just as good! The last time we did this was about 2 years ago that we went right when Naty got home during the week. Although we have gone to the beach but its more fun when its like, "pack it up, we're going to the beach." Since I wasn't feeling too good I sat it out and watched. I made sure to take pics this time cause the last time in San Diego we didn't take pics at the beach and I wish I did cause it was awesome! The sand had gold in it, it was so weird, something I've never seen. (next time)

More pics from Heast Castle

Here's the outside of the castle

Morro Rock, this was on the way up to the castle
