BELLDANCERS ARE NOT STRIPPERS!!!

This past Saturday I had my first bellydance performance!! It was a lot of fun!! We danced at an assisted living place called Canterbury Court. I guess you could say that I was not that nervous. The only thing that kept wanting to make me nervous was thinking that I would forget the moves!!! 1st we danced a Shakira song, then I did my solo, Yadira did her solo, Jennifer did hers, and then finally we all did "Don't Cha."
I've never been dancer inclined. I can't even believe that I have the guts to be dancing now. Ever since I went to the Bellydancing class at the gym, I've been totally hooked. It really helps that my friend Jennifer bellydances aswell. I hope to improve in my moves. After seeing the video, I see where I need major improvements. I will try to post a piece of the video later. Meanwhile, here are very few pics......

Zoo Zoo Zoo!!!!

Today was Adrian's 1st trip to the zoo!! Although it was kinda hot, he enjoyed it. He mainly wanted to get off the stroller to walk. He didn't even want assistance!!
He was afraid of some animals. Especially at the petting zoo. Every time I would try to place his hand on the goat, he'd pull his little hand away. Unfortunately, Ally fell and scraped her knees. But you know kids, you tell them "Don't run!!" and that's exactly what they do!!! At the end of your visit, Adrian chose a toy snake as his souvenir. Overall, we had a good time with our family. My mom-in-law, sis-in-law, bro-in-law and niece spent the day together.

WHAT???

Does your child ever do this to you?? If you don't have any kiddos.........well, this is what some of them like to do for fun. Hee Hee!!! (Thanks to my nephew Bo, he made me laugh with this last night)

Finally registered for kindergarden!!!!!

Don't you hate being a procrastinator??????? I do, but I don't learn my lesson. I "berly" registered Ally for school! Just two days short of school starting. That's not good!! Every year I tell myself......do things on time!! I have gotten better @ some things though.


As soon as I entered the elementary school, I got very nervous. I got nervous because she belongs to another school, but this school is way more convenient due to child care after school. When I sat down with the secretary, my legs began to shake. The more paperwork she gave me, the more my legs would shake (ON THEIR OWN!) or as we call it in BELLY DANCING, my legs were doing the "shimmy" on their own. My purse was bouncing! I figured for sure this lady was going to bust me!!! I was hoping she would not ask me for the address out loud, but she did! I don't have it memorized, because I don't ever use it. I managed to say it but, I left out a little something which she didn't catch (I think??) Bottom line______ I survived!! I walked out of there weak, of so much leg exercise. I'm serious, if you ask me to show you how fast my legs were moving, I couldn't do it!!

My Mom

My mami is just something else! I told her I was going to blog about her and she gave me permission. She does sooooo many funny things unintentionaly. So many of her "shows" as my sister and I call them, you would need to be present so I can act out the way she does things. Most of the time, she feels they are not funny, but they are hilarious to us. She says that what goes around comes around. She used to laugh at my grandma, OH my grandma does funny things too. I guess I'll tell you one where they were both involved. Around Katrina time, they were both visiting family in Florida. They decided to go to one of the many beaches. My mom went and bought a bathing suit and so did my grandma. So my mom is enjoying the waves with her eyeglasses hanging from her bathing suit. My grandma sees her enjoying the waves and decides that she will do the same. My grandma is 80 some years old, so as soon as she hits the waves, they start to take her in. Since she now realized she is not as strong as she used to be, she starts to panic. She attempts to get up, but the next wave takes her down again and again and again. By this time my mom notices and she does the baywatch thing to do......save my g-ma. Afterwards, they laugh about it, BUT my mom was not laughing as hard, her eyeglasses were floating somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. We asked her, "Who goes to the beach with their eyeglasses hanging freely?" Her reply was......"I didn't know I was going to have to throw myself in to save your granda!" You should see my g-ma acting out how the waves would take her down!!!

BOOGER-HEAD!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that everyone has had a BOOGER-HEAD moment. Well, in my case, according to my bad a** brother-in-law and bad a** sister-in-law, and not to mention my manly husband, those moments happen to me almost everyday. So we have this booger-head club, in which they ALL take part of also.
Define.......... "booger-head"---------Dried nasal mucus, ok, never mind, that's not the type of booger I am talking about. Anyways, did I just have a moment? Well, let me give you an example..........Today we went over to my bro & sis in-law to eat grilled burgers, which were very good by the way. While I was there, my friend Jen calls me on our only cell phone. I answer and I'm talking to her and then she asked me if I had recieved the text message she had sent me earlier? I told her I had not because I didn't know where the phone was, so like a booger-head I start looking for it. Of course my sister in law had to be present to witness me looking for the phone I was holding in my hand and using. Boy, did we crack up!!! My brother-in-law is the one that comes up with these silly names. Like "HEARSEY SQUIRTS." You can imagine what he's talking about?

Man-ly Body Wash?

It took my husband almost 7 years to decide to smell Man-ly after a shower (Although he doesn't need to smell like one cuz he is one). When we went to Wally-Martinez tonight he bought a manly bodywash. (I know some of you don't want to know that) Anyways, when he told me he wanted to buy one, I was surprised. So, he just got out of the shower awhile ago and he tells me, smell me....I smell....MMMM smells good!!! Then he says, "I was tired of smelling like my wife!" "I wanted my own!" I can't believe he was tired of smelling like Berries and Cream Smoothie LOL!!

Bubbly........

This is what people tend to think of me. I wonder why? All I usually ever do is smile like crazy, try to make people smile, have a good time with all I can..well, I think you get my drift. BUT, the bubbly I'm talking about is not me. There is a song that my little sister loves. She has a my space thing and she likes to play that song on her space. One day about 2 months ago in Mcallen, TX I went over to her house and she showed me her "My space" space (is that how you say it?) Anyways, as I was browsing her page, she would keep replaying the song "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. I didn't get to really pay attention to what the song was saying, but it had a nice tune. Before that day I had never heard that song. Now she is in Virginia, and I keep hearing the song. I have grown to really like this song because of her. I can't help but get a huge smile on my face when I hear the song because I think of her. She is two years younger than me so I get to call her my baby sister. I love her so much and I thank God so much for her. We have always been close, but as the years have passed, we tend to get closer. I regret not doing more things with her in high school. When I think about what I missed out with her, I kick my self in the rear. I have told her this and being the awesome sister that she is, she tells me that we were both young and we didn't know any better. I guess what I should think is that all that matters is the present and the future.
I have always been an emotional type of person, but when I was pregnant with our first child....I would cry if I didn't see my sister often. At that time she was attending UTPA (university). So I would call her crying and she would console me. I am so lucky to have a sister like her. She deserves the best and she's got it. I love you sis!!!
Incase you've never heard the song............here it is....

LUAU TIME

On Saturday we went to a luau party. My daughter and my niece dressed the part. They looked so adorable! Too bad they didn't serve the roasted pig, but they did serve some very good chicken, fajitas, and sausage and of course with all the trimmings. Anyways, here is what the girls looked like........

BAND-AIDS......

Taking your little ones to the doctor is never fun. Today I had to take Adrian to get his immunizations. Compared to his other visits, this has been his worst. He didn't even want the physician to examine him. To top it off, he had to get blood drawn! It broke my heart when they could not find his little vein. So someone else had to try it on his other little arm. After that, came his 3 immunizations. A total of 5 band-aids :( I took him home very upset. He fell asleep in the car, so when I got home, I laid him down. Even in his sleep, you could still hear him sighing. Ouch! But now he is all better, thank God it is only temporary. :) OH, you know what Sister Ally did? While Adrian was sleeping, she could hear him sighing, so she placed a little ceramic angel I have by his side. She said that it was so it could protect him. What a little darling!!

THE BIG "ONE"

Our little boy has just turned ONE!!! We had a little get together at Peter Piper Pizza. He had such a great time!! He loved the balloons and his cake. He was crawling everywhere and also taking his very first steps. We were accompanied by family and friends. It seems like he was just born a couple of months ago. He is a little character. It is so funny because everyone tells me he looks like daddy BUT, he has mommy's attitude.........LOUD!!! Hee, Hee. And on the other hand, they say our daughter looks like me but she has her daddy's attitude........QUIET AND SHY. I must say, my husband is no longer shy, he says he was when he was young (Hard to believe). I'm so happy that Adrian Ethan is blessed, healthy, funny, and gorgeous....DUH, what can I say? Here are some pictures....

STRESSING

I have been stressing since yesterday about what to blog. As I sit here tonight, I am still stressing. I just hope I can get some sleep tonight. Last night I would wake up and think "What am I going to blog about?" Oh well, maybe soon my brain will start to help me soon. I asked my husband to help me, he suggested talking about his cars. Which they happen to be the cars I also like very much...................MUSTANGS!! I will never forget the day I got my 1999 Atlantic Blue Mustang. I bought it in Raymondville, TX. I had always wanted a brand new mustang with a CD player and some cold AC. And I got it!! I was so happy, but my dad was not. He said I got the car because my boyfriend (Abel) had a mustang. WRONG!!!! Anyways, I enjoyed my car for about 7 years, until we had to trade it for a Taurus. We seriously needed a 4 door vehicle because there was one baking in the oven! Someday I will own another Mustang.
