WORDLESS WEDNESDAY! MY LATEST OBSESSION!

July 4th Weekend: Holly Visits Lalo!!

Yay! Today Holly got her ticket to come visit me from Denver! She will be here over the July 4th holiday. I am so excited. I just love when friends and family come to visit.

I am trying to convince her to move here one day. Any suggestions on what we MUST do while she is here? Let me know. I have known Holly since I was 14 years old and we became the best of friends when we started to play soccer together at the age of 15. She didn't play our Freshman year. To make the story more amazing is we both went to one high school in our hometown, had French class together didn't talk a whole lot and ended up running into one another at another school the next year. We were meant to be life long friends. You'll remember I did a post on her for her Birthday!

Relaxing Girls Weekend

Lalo taking in the sunshine @ the Riverwalk. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the great outdoors!

Cedric enjoyed being in San Antonio too! His next trip is New Mexico.

I was able to score my HRC Pilsner & Shot glasses. I now collect them thanks in part to my sis getting me started on it. I am running out of room to put these things.

People were waiting for the "Fiesta" Parade to start for hours, some people waited for days.

We had a very nice time. You all know how I love being outside.

TGIF!

The Little Monkey Pie and her Monkey Towel!

Lauren is ready for the weekend: Birthday party for her cousin Angel on Saturday at Grandma's house and they are going to a school carnival with their Uncle tonight. Because these kids grow so fast I took them to Target and bought them new swim gear. Including the cool 3D Hooded Towels. Lauren got the Monkey (of course) and Darren got a Shark. I know he likes it but you know he is getting at that age where he has to act cool and not get excited about it. At least that is what I tell myself. LOL Which reminds me. Last week I told him I was going to go have lunch with him at his school. He was like cool. When he got to school, he mentioned it to one of his friends and his friend told him, "Wow, that is embarrassing!" Darren said he looked at him and said, "Whatever, I want her to come". Too cute. They haven't gotten into that whole stage yet where they don't want me around. He is sure to give me a kiss on the cheek when I drop him off at school. He is such a little sweetie.
The kids will be playing on this fun slide at their cousins 9th Birthday party. This thing is fun! Even for the adults. Plus they will get to swim in the pool. They will probably come back tan and Lauren with her highlights. I hope the weather hold out for them.

Just Lalo at the Office

It is Friday and I am excited about that. This week has just gone by so fast! I am learning so many things at my new job and I think it is going very well. I have a lot to do though. I went from a department of about 100 people to a department of 2 and the other guy is only here about a day and a half out of the week. Funny they didn't mention that in the interview. I do like it here so far so no worries.

I hope everyone has a good weekend.

The Scrabble Champ!

Poor little thing, she has such a tiny nose her glasses always slide down her little face.
Don't be looking for our mistakes. This was Darren and Lauren's first Srabble game. I don't think they did too bad. Most of the 2-3 letter words are mine! LOL

I didn't have time to take many pictures hence the reason most of them were blury. I was running around the table while we were playing the games trying to take some snapshots. See how deep in thought they are. Too cute.

Eat, think, play!

She won the Bottle of Kisses! That bottle is almost as big as she is!

BTW, Congrats to CK on the arrival of her new baby boy Carson Felix! So happy for her. That bottle is more her size and his.

Darren gaming it at CC's!

Darren and Lauren with Christian to celebrate his 10th Birthday!

Chipmunk Cheeks! Ha ha.
