Treinta Y Uno

I would have liked to have a grande finale, but I don't. I thought about posting 31 pics, but I won't. I'm feeling under the weather, because of my throat.

And now, Abel turned on the AC, better grab a coat. Speaking of Abel, tomorrow he'll be getting on a boat! I would like to go, but incase the boat flips, I don't know how to float!

Ally walked out of JCP today with this Little Ducky!! Without paying for it!!! Of course, we returned it and gave her the lecture. This is the second time this happens to us at the Sunrise Mall! Next time we go, our pictures are going to be posted, banning us!

Follow your dreams, Don't Do Drugs Day

Mija always gets embarrased when I whip out my camera at school. I know she will thank me one day. I wanted to take more pictures of her little friends as well, BUT my battery died!! This week has been drug awareness week. Everyday they have had an activity of some sort. I don't remember doing anything like this in school? I'm glad they do it now though. Had I known drugs were bad, I would have never done them.. JUST KIDDING!!!! I've never done any type of illegal drugs, I promise!!! I've been told I might act like I'm on them, but NOPE, none of that JUNK in my system :)

New Costume for THE Bed

Tonight I switched out our bedding. We got this very nice gift from the DeLeon's. I didn't get a a chance to put up the curtains. It is such a nice set. With the extra little decorative pillows, curtains, and valance! So cool! Thank you!!

Brush Your Teeth!

Last week I took the children to the dentist. They both did extremely well! I was so surprised that Adrian Ethan did not cry! Gotta take care of their teeth! I hope one of them becomes a dentist. Adrian seemed intrested in the tools. Maybe he's the one?

AND yup, Ally needs further examination :(

Warm Memories

I didn't get to finish my story yesterday. It got late and I was so tired. Yesterday was my mom-in-law's birthday and today is my dad's birthday "Ramon Bustamante." My dad is this short man but he thinks he's about 6 ft tall. So funny though. We danced (pictured above) "Las Mananitas" with our parent.

I also had some friends that were still laughing at my fall today (YOU know who you are!) My poor hunny wishes I'd more careful. Every time I think about it, I say "AY!" I can picture how I went down in slow motion. It's not the first time but I sure hope it's the last :-/ Still, that deserves an LOL.

You might think I put the same picture as yesterday, BUT it's not. I had forgotten TWO gifts. Can you figure out which ones? Again, Thank You to all who were able to attend. And for those who didn't..... Sorry, you missed out on the show, hee hee

Safe landing at a Warmer Home

We've been at our new home for about 2 1/2 months. We finally did our house warming party today. We had a good turn out and had fun. The menu consisted of Nachos Deluxe. My mom made chicken salad sandwiches. My friend Cookie made the beans for me. Pat made a fruit salad. My mother-in-law made pistachio salad, Estela brought a veggie tray, and Angie brought BROWNIES. Everything tasted very good, at least to me it did.

Abel and I were surrounded by loving family and friends. I'm just about finished cleaning at this late hour.

Oh, almost forgot..... "Safe landing" means I landed safely (in front of ALL the guests) on my back yard. I was so excited because I had asked my friend Juan to say a prayer for us and our house. I was running back to be next to Abel and "Saaaaaaaafe!!" Golly, I fell on my side and then I felt everyone's eyes on me, and then I just layed flat for a few seconds. QUE AWITE!!! "Compre terreno!" Some witnessed it all! For example, friend from work,Dahlia's husband, Edward.

"Can't take me anywhere!"

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT AND GIFTS WE RECEIVED!!!

Technical Difficulties

I am having technical difficulites. Therefore, I could not post a picture today :(

Love'em

Plain and simple "Puro Amor"

Dixie Cup Pyramids

My litte Skyla was being creative tonight. Although I have told her NOT to play with her little Dixie Cups. Poor mija, she had to start over several times because along would come Mr. Adrian and mess things up for her. He would kick the cups or throw something at them. Now I have to buy new cups!!

Twenty duex-Take un

I went into EB Games in San Benito today looking for a guitar for the Nintendo Wii. What's the first sign I see? A sign for free guitars!! I was like what do I have to do to get one??? I was thinking "Great, I don't have to buy one!" I have a tendency to speed read. I happened to skip the word "AIR."

Lost for well over 20 days!!

Above you see my poor wittle Sony Walkman. I had misplaced it for a long time! I was so lost without it for my morning exercise time. I did have a better replacement for awhile though. digiSal had lend me his ZUNE. Abel was so close to buying me one or something better than the one I have. Maybe I'll misplace it again ;)

After several weeks, over a month I shall say, I found it in my Bellydancing bag! Had the need for some shimmy tonight, and there it was! It is now being charged and waiting for some new found music I like..... Frank Sinatra. I have already put in my request. If I wouldn't have listened to the ZUNE, I would have never discovered Sinatra. He's only been dead for 10 years!! I could have heard him live!

Oh, in the pic you also see our new Linksys router. Got a great deal on it and it's been working just great!

Imagine when they are 19?

Allyson Skyla, Hailey Nicole and I played "Beauty Shop" today. We decided to curl their hair. They wanted to put my make-up on also, but I said no. I already knew I wanted to take pictures of them. They dressed up and we stepped outside to my studio (back yard). I enjoy taking pictures. Although I still have a lot to learn.

Cha Cha Slide, featuring Adrian

We went to a wedding tonight (wihout Adrian).  They played the song that you hear in the video.  I'm not very good at dancing those songs but I still went out there.  I liked it, so when I got home, I looked for it on you tube.  As soon as it started, he began to dance!! I could not believe my eyes!  Gonna ask the babysitter if they dance to it....

My niece Hailey had a good time dancing too.  I hope I don't get in trouble with her parents because I posted it.  I tried to hide her face  :-/

Fender Stradocaster

(TOP PICTURE: Gwamma, Pappa, and Adrian BOTTOM PIC: Pues el Suegro) 

Something was going on at the mall that the band my father-in-law plays with was performing. He takes good care of his Fender.   He says it's a 1980's and that he paid a pretty penny for it.  I'm thinking if Adrian ends up playing an instrument, like a guitar, he will inherit the Fender?

"Mele" was happy we were there.  Adrian seemed to have enjoyed it aswell.  Allyson and Hailey colored most of the time.  Hailey even entered into a "Guess the song game."

Lil' Sis on Diez y Seiz

This picture was taken in June of this year. My sister, niece, and nephew made a special trip to the Valley from Virginia. I love and miss my sister and her family so much. I will never get tired of saying how special she is to me. And how much I love her. I just had to make her part of my photo blog this month.

Pictures are special and help capture beautiful memories. She's beautiful and special and she's my little sister. Love you sister!!!!!

Mis Quince :)

Young, young, young. I still remember practicing for the big day. Everyone would come over to my parents house. It was fun!

I was finally able to wear make-up and my dad finally gave me permission to dance!! Now a days, girls start wearing make-up really young!! We'll see how we do it with Ally.

Looking at the pictures tonight took me back. I had even forgotten who all was part of the court. I was able to blog this tonight thanks to my little brother. He looked for my album at my mom's and brought it over. I did not get to post a picture of him because he was too busy that night getting his head caught in between cabinets under the stage! I did see some pictures of my little sister, but I knew I would get in big trouble if I would post any of those :P

With a 14oz drink

Just a tad bit better than the dollar menu.  $1.99 for an entire combo?  I drove by STARS, saw the sign, and I had to go back later. This is soooo cheap!!! Not to mention, it's down the road from our house.  Gas prices going down, burger prices aswell, what's next?  I won't argue with that.  

Not bad for a last minute dinner.

13 Rebel Strawberries

My strawberry lemondade.  I've heard of raspberry lemonade, but not strawberry.  Then again, here in Harlingen at Boomerang Babbas, they have authentic items on the menu.  I have tried several entrees, and I have enjoyed them all.  I get to taste some also, and then I order the full thing the next time.  Today I had "The Rebel." Mmm, so good :)   

12 makes a DOZEN

It's all in the huevos.

I had gone to the store yesterday because I was supposed to cook this big, delicious, awesome breakfast at our place this morning. I bought everything we needed for Omelletes. Had to buy the JUMBO size eggs. It's just way better to cook with these! They have a fluffier outcome. :)

Turns out that my mom in law called us for breakfast. Couldn't turn that down.... So now I have lots of eggs, 2 dozens to be exact. Have Bacon, Sausage, Ham, Tomatoes, Cheese, and OJ.......Breakfast anyone?

11:11 p.m.

My sister is the one that told me that you should make a wish when the time is 11:11 Tonight I wished for ........ Can't say, because then it won't come true. This is short and sweet. I'm done :D

10 lb ball

Just imagine, a red 10 lb bowling ball.....
That is the picture that seems to be messed up above! I tried to blog from my phone but something went wrong. I will fix it and re-post. I was running out of time, and since we were at the bowling alley, my friend suggested I take a picture of the 10 lb ball, on the tenth day.


I had a fun time tonight. I had to leave early, but it seems like I am still winning!

.....Cloud 9......

I went to cloud 9 today.  I don't usually look up at the sky.  Always so busy, focused on what is going on down here.  Today I realized that taking a few moments to enjoy and appreciate the wonders around us can be pleasing.  Even though we might have to come back down from that cloud.  But for that moment, nothing can bring you down.  

I could say I had several Cloud 9 moments today. I would think about my pictures and I was right back up there.  So much is going on at work, glad that I was able to focus on something else as well.  As I say focus, I am also reminded of a person we need to focus on a daily basis to continue receiving blessings.  :D 

I had to grab my camera and snap these shots.  Immediately I knew these pictures would end up on my blog today.    I think the clouds looked beautiful this morning.  

P.S. hAPPy bIRTHdaY digiSalbangers!

Eight legged

I had not taken a picture for the day and after I killed this arachnoid, I went looking for a live one. These things are all over the place!! I wanted to take a picture of a live one, but didn't find one. I felt like in the channel "Animal Planet." Outside at night....

Anyways, I don't like insects, repitles and bugga buggas! But just because it is day eight, I took a pic of this EIGHT legged creature, ewe! I especially hate it when you step them to kill'em, and ALL the babies come out!

EIGHT on the 7th

I love the fact that we got married in 2000.  This way we do not get confused as to how many years we have been married.  

Today is our 8th year anniversary.  We're very happy and are expecting bigger and better things as the years pass.  Especially for our children. 

We had dinner by ourselves.  For the first time I did not feel guilty leaving the children behind.  We usually feel bad when we go out by ourselves.  

I love you baby, I could not imagine my life without you!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Luv, luv, luv, luv........   (HeartbreakKid)

High 5 for Adrian!

Adrian was helping Norbit and Rasputia wash the cars today. I feel he deserves a High 5. When he would pull the trigger, he would get kicked back. He looked so cute! Ally began to help us but then her polish came off. By the time we knew it, she was inside re-touching her nails. Love you kiddoes!

4-4-4

October 4 is Lucy's Birthday. So we went out 4 some fun. We were the only 4 girls tonight. On his 4th day of picture blogging. We went 4 some Wallbangers burgers. Then we headed 4 a game of bowling. Finally, we drank some shakes at SHAKES in Mcallen, which I had not been there in 4 ever!!

If he can't find a parking space, he'll make one...

Abel and I had lunch at La Playa today. Since we were both hungry, we decided to go during the rush hour 12:00 p.m. What were we thinking? "FOOD!"

He drove around and no parking spots were available, so he decided to park where he was not supposed to! I told him "que awite!" I told him "hurry, get off!" Right away I knew this was going to be my pic for the day. Even he told me that it was good for my blog. I think I'm teaching him well, for when he has his own ;)

When we left, I asked him to please pick me up by the street. Some ladies drove by laughing!! Of course, he didn't. Este nino!!!

P.S. Check out his license plate :)

I got punked!

Today is PAYDAY! I hardly ever open my check before I go to the bank. It looks the same every time. So, I'm at the bank's drive-thru teller, I open it and it says (SEE ABOVE). I'm like what the heck!! I know this is not a joke!! Hellooooo, Where's my MONE? Then I remembered that it was going to be direct deposit. Which we had been told it would take about 1 month! It's only been 2 weeks!! Thank God it was not a joke! To top it off, I haven't even checked my account, I think I better do that now.....

Several Years Ago

Several years ago my parents were talking about the birds and the bees. When all of a sudden, Adriana Sujey Bustamante was born. Although my original name was Milagros Sujey Bustamante. Story goes that when I was going to get baptized, the father did not like the name. So he changed Milagros to Adriana. In a way I like it, but how could my parents have listened to him? Babel says that he would not have married me if my name was Milagros. Pffft....

Here are some of my baby pictures..............

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: POST BABY PICTURES.
