Pac-Man ghosts...



My babies were playing with my bellydancing veils. They were having so much fun! I had the pac-man ghosts right in my living room! Love ya kiddoes!!! MUAH!!

My PAYASITO (My little clown)

We had dinner at La Playa tonight, and Adrian was so hyper! He is such a cutie though! (What can a mommie say???) He was messing with Daddy's shades. I had to pull out my camera and shoot some pics. After a while, he started to pose.....

Can We Budget?

Lately we have been so excited about purchasing a home. It all started June 11th. We saw a home for the first time on that day. By the next day, I was at a mortgage place. We got approved! Although we had to turn that home down because our payments were going to be too much. The one good thing that came out of that was that it opened our eyes and the doors to hopefully getting a home, a cheaper one. We had never made any type of attempt. We'd always be saying "Someday" "Someday".... We didn't know that someday would be this soon. It is fun!

We already have our eye on a home here in San Benito, on Bonham street(behind Dolly Vinsant Hosp). Please pray that everything works in our favor. A well built home, a great price, good negotiating, very affordable payments, sturdy income to pay for it all, and for it to become our warm cozy home one day :)I have told the Lord that it is up to him. If this is not the one that is meant for us, we will keep looking. We just ask for his guidance.

Back to budgeting.... I will try my hardest to budget. I know it will be easier for Babel than for me. I tried my best tonight. I went to Wal-Mart with a list of 3 things to purchase. (Patting myself on the back) I purchased only those 3. Maybe I can do thing budgeting thing? I was so proud of myself! Because I always manage to walk out with alot more than what I needed. I was focused and did not wonder around.

OH, and in preparation of our move. We have started to clean out as much as possible. Hopefully we will hear something this week. We should be meeting with the realtor and the mortgage lady again. Please pray for us, I appreciate it.

Adrian no likey pool...

This past Saturday my bro & sis in law set up a pool. Ally was playing in it and Adrian was just playing outside. He kept throwing toys in and we'd give'em back to him and so on. One of those times, he kinda leaned on the pool wall and down he went. And out went the water! He just froze and started to cry. It looked so funny! At the same time, I ran over there to rescue him. Well, the pool was on the drive way, it was slippery, and down I went! I ended up getting wet as well! So I just got in the pool with Adrian. He still didn't like it, so we got out. Boy was I fresh the rest of the afternoon. Mmmm, then Nacho grilled some burgers and hot dogs, that just hit the spot!

Endorphin Rush

So, the new location to the gym I go to is now open. I finally made my way to it this past Friday. I had a blast! I did the 5:00 a.m. aerobic class and afterwards I had to try out some machines. This new place is so crowded with machines. I feel like I am surrounded by robots or something. I think it is cool! I was going to count the machines, but they were too many. For sure they have over 30 treadmills over 20 some ellipticals, gosh, too many other machines to mention.

I hopped on this machine that is a 3 in 1. For sure it is a stepper and an elliptical. I don't know what the third thing is? I really liked this machine. I couldn't get the hang of it in the beginning, but I got it and did it for over 20 min. They say that the stepper is a good exercise to do. I also worked on my biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, and calves.

Some gyms do not let you take pics, I don't know if this one does, but I managed to take some pictures. I was trying to be sneaky. Everytime I would take a picture, I would laugh, wonder if I looked crazy? (Hope I just didn't set myself up... hee hee) Where are the pics? In my phone! I can't copy them to my computer! Like always, things can't go my way :( I will try to post them later.

There was this machine that I wanted to try, but it looked so complicated. I didn't even know where to start....so I skipped it. Anyways, I had a great workout, and I am looking forward to continue going.

When you workout, endorphins are released; therefore, you're a happy person. Well, that's according to Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde." Actually they are neurotransmitters found in the brain that have pain-relieving properties similar to morphine. Whatever.....

So over them :(

For several years now, I had dreamed of owning a Chevy Tahoe. My sister has owned 2 or 3 that I can remember. Whenever she would come over, I would love to drive them. I would even take them to H.E.B. all by myself, and I would feel all cool. I would always tell her that if she wanted to leave it here, that it would be fine with me.

I especially like the 2008 model. I never dared test drive one, I knew I would not want to get off. But now, thanks to GAS prices, I am so over them :( No way will I be working to pay for it and gas only. Heck no! I'd rather invest in a little scooter or a Harley (ay si). Scooters are becoming popular! A co-worker has purchased one, can't wait to see it.

I used to drool (not really, but you know what I mean) when I'd see one out in the streets, I DROOL NO MORE!!!
