Halloween is almost here

With October literally around the corner, we get really excited because it's our favorite holiday

• It's my sisters b-day!


• You get to dress up and be what ever you want


• Eat lots and lots of candy


• The weather


• The scary decorations that we put up


• Lupe gets to scare the crap out of Sue (last night he was practicing)

But this year I think will be very exciting only for the simple fact that we plan on having a Halloween Party for the kiddos, plus it's the first Halloween in our house! We plan on decorating the house a bit especially inside. We have gotten some things already. I am definately looking forward to some haunted houses (real ones), ghost stories, making a jack-o-lantern...I will post some pictures later of some of the decor!

Chocolate Haunted Castle

I went to the store this weekend and came across this super cute Haunted Castle. I'm sure it will be alot of fun to set up! I will post the pictures after my son makes it. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Happy Birthday My Baby Monkey!!!

After an entire night of game playing, candy eating, ice cream eating, pizza grubbing...this is the result...a bed full of what looks like a bunch of college boys! LOL......they didnt go to bed until 3 in the morning!

Happy Birthday baby! I love you so much...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy birthday daddy! I am so thankful to God, for having picked you to be MY daddy. Thank you for everything you have taught me, for your time and love. I dont think anyone could ever be as lucky as me, to have a daddy like you! I love you daddy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Damage- Ike

We finally got our lights on 2 days ago! It was a long week. This was the first hurricane that I have ever been in, honestly- it was the scariest thing ever! My house (which is all brick) felt like it was shaking- in my head I was thinking " Any minute now, my roof is going to go flying off" Thank God, it did not happen and we are all ok , however, it did cause some damage to my house. Here are some pictures :

Before:

After:

This tree is right in front of the room where my parents were sleeping- Thank God it broke and it landed the other way!!

Our fence

Here is a video of how bad the wind was blowing- This is when it first hit landfall. The wind is pretty bad, and there was already a broken tree

This is what we woke up to the next day, all the mess we had to pick up. We were one of the fortunate ones, that had a livable roof over our heads...Thank God it was minor damage.

Hurricane Ike- Pre Party

Ike is on his way, and honestly- I am a bit scared, but check out how my family shows their concern:

First- Let take advantage of the "cooler" weather. They pulled out the hammick, and just relaxed for a few. (I wonder what they are looking at)

Second: The hammick just didnt do it for my baby. He was bored and decided to do this

But that didnt do it either...so he did this

All that jumping made him thirsty

Cowboy's Game 9/7/08

We had such a good time Sunday with our family, we had a house full! The game was awesome, and we served up some Hotdogs on the grill and some Nachos!! Yummy! The kids had fun, they played on the slip and slide!! Thanks to everyone who came!

" GET YOUR POPCORN READY"

Yeah baby!! It's that time again...big rugged guys, sweating, just viciously tackling each other, running as hard as they can to make a touch down, ITS FOOTBALL TIME!! Tomorrow we are having a family get together to watch the Cowboys play. So I should post some pics tomorrow. So as T.O says..."GET YOUR POPCORN READY"

Morning Sunrise

Saturday, Lupe and I had to wake up around 6:00 because our cable guy was coming to install a new cable service that they are offering in our area. So we got up at 6ish...maybe earlier, the guy was scheduled to come at 7:00am. My hubby went and bought me some hot coffee and some delicious donuts for all of us. Look how beautiful the sun looks

This weekend, my boys and I were in the mood for some Smores. My oldest and my hubby started the fire and my little one and I got the chairs out. We told a few scary stories and chilled out. We really enjoyed it.
