Gutter Ball Queen!

I went bowling for the first time! It was soooo much fun! It was my family, my brother and his family, 3 of my cousins and their families, one which was down from Dallas; a total of 10 adults and 5 kids (all boys of course). The boys really enjoyed it. They want to go back. They played 2 games; they at least had bumpers! I think I need to practice with them! Everyone kept on making fun of me they were calling me the "Gutter Ball Queen!" Guess why? LOL! Ariel said the next time we go we need to look professional - he wants to buy matching shirts, LOL!!! I think it would be cute! Check out the shoes! Don't they look cool! LOL

I not good at adding video's but I'm gonna try. My baby nephew, Aramis 2 yrs. old, looked so cute carrying a bowling ball..... check out his exciting jump afterwards! Super cute! I miss them sooo much!

It's been a while!....

I miss blogging.... it just takes a few minutes.... Iiiiii kkkknnnoooowwww!!!!! So many little things have happened. I was blessed to of had my Dad here for the Christmas holiday. Our relationship has been getting much better. He has decided to stay in the valley! For as far as I can remember he lived in Michigan. He was also with us during the New Years holiday. That holiday was SUPER special cuz we also had our little brother visit with his family! I loved it! I miss him sooooo much....... I know he's a big boy and we just have to let them grow up, but he lives soooo far away :-( Arizona. It had been about two years since we last saw him and his family. They have a new addition to their family. Baby Aramis, 2 years old! He's soooo cute. He looks like his daddy just a white version, lol! I'll post some pics up soon..... Thank to those who read my blog! Love Ya! Jenny!

Warm Wishes This Holiday Season!

Love from our family, The Villafrancas Ariel, Jennifer, Aaron, Alec and Aiden

Tis the Season....

Today was the Annual Turkey Luncheon at my boys school. We went in twice, hee...hee..! Once with Alec at 10:30; toooo early for lunch but o'well. And again with Aaron at 11:15. As we entered you could see the children looking for their mommies and daddies; Super cute! We had an Indian and a Pilgrim. I love these little moments............ very blessed!

Could this be the next Travis Barker!

Grandpa Jerry gave his original drum set to his oldest grandson! Aaron was soooo excited! He's been playing before school, after school, even before he goes to bed. Basically whenever he has a chance. The little video clip was taken the second day around 6:45 a.m. before we left for school! Grandpa Jerry plays the drums, bass, guitar, accordion, his passion is piano. O' he also sings.... Hopefully the music gene was passed to the boys! We'll see.....

He got a little embarrassed when his dad walked in from work. :D

My first time....

Flying that is! LOL.... I went on a work trip to San Diego, CA for a couple of days. This was my first time on a plane. It was FUN! I can't wait to take my boys for a trip. I will say that I think it would be kinda difficult with little children to go from one plane to another but I think it would be worth it. My boys welcomed me home with roses and chocolates!!!! I loved it!!! :D

A trip down memory lane :D

The other day we visited my dad in Mercedes. He bbq'd for us and watched the C-boys. The he did the unthinkable and busted out this suitcase that my grandma had stored for him. It was SO funny looking at some of the pics he had. The weren't all the picks because I remember seeing albums and albums of us.... check out the funny pics

Not another one....

yup! Yesterday as I came home from work YUP there was another baby kitten.... He looked in pretty bad condition. He also fell of the roof and had blood on his nose. Now the mama cat is no where to be found. She has abandon her children. What a B*t*c! He is really cute, all white with little ears. Ariel and I were up last night about 11 pm feeding both of them.... Funny huh! We are going to the store today to buy them cat litter and food (what type, anyone?). The boys are enjoying it, that's the good thing!!!! Ava and Otis!!!! are the two new members of our family!!!!!

Baby kitten "Ava"

A little update on our new family pet. "Ava" is doing much, much better! Yes, we kept her. She has both eyes open. She looks much better. I'll post pics later. It's so funny seeing Ariel feed the kitten with a syringe. I think he likes her too! on't know much about cats but I think when they purr it means that they are happy. I hope so cuz we save her butt! hee...hee... O' one more thing, Alec was the one that opened her little eye. When I got home that afternoon he so excited to share that he fixed her eye, he said "Mama, mama, I fixed the baby cats eye cuz I'm a doctor"..... :D super cute!

Motherly instinct?

Can boys have that motherly instinct? I think my boys have it! This morning when as we walked out to go to work/school there was a baby kitten lying on the front porch. It looked like it was dead but as I got closer I noticed that it was moving. I called for Ariel, he picked up the kitten a put it in his old car that we have parked outside (other cats have had their litters there before). Anyways, later on in the morning Ariel was going to pick up Alec from school and to his surprise as he walked out there was another kitten. He thought someone was playing a joke on him. That kitten was moving a little. So he got that kitten and put it in the car as well. When he got back from picking up Aaron from school, he saw the mama cat taking only one of her kittens. She left the first one that fell behind. :-( The boys called me right away to work and were telling me the whole story.... super cute.... So, when I got home from work I checked on the baby kitten and sure enough the baby kitten was still there. The mama cat did not come back for her...... Ariel and I are not cat people; we are dog lovers.... So taking in a cat is not what we would normally do. But as we saw the boys really caring for the kitten and begging to keep it, how could we say no so we just gave in... I felt kinda bad also after see how she looked. The poor baby kitten has a big chi-chote on her head that caused her right to close. I hope se doesn't have some kind of brain damage.......... We'll see how it goes, hopefully she'll get better...... I guess we'll have to think of a name... Any suggestions??? We'll see what the boys think of!

79th Annual Battle of the Arroyo!

This was our first football game of the year! We couldn't have picked a better game to go to... Battle of the Arroyo! We weren't able to stay for the whole game, you know, cuz of the kiddos. But the little we were there I really enjoyed! We left after the 3rd qtr began. The score was Greyhounds 10 / Cardinals 13! I hope we beat there butts! I'll have to post the score later!...

FINAL SCORE: CARDS 34 / HOUNDS 17! Oh well, next year!!!! Good Game!

Go, go GATORS!

This year we were debating whether or not to put Aaron in flag football or winter baseball. I personally enjoyed seeing him play baseball but he insisted on playing football. So we put him in football. Last Friday was the last day for registration and like always I left it to the last minute but he's in! Aaron will be playing (5-6) Flag football for Dr. Cash, Team 2! This will be his second year. Hopefully he learned something from last year cuz last year he just liked running and falling! lol...... His coach is Juanito Torres, ex-Greyhound! It's his first year coaching! Wish them luck! It's always fun seeing the kids play!!!! Good luck Dr. Cash Gators - Team 2!

Off they go!....

For most children today was the 1st Day of School! My boys attend Dr. Cash Elem. in San Benito. This is the first year that both of my older boys attend the same school. I was super excited for them. Aaron is a 1st grader and Alec is in Pre-K. I thought it was super cute when Alec gave Aaron a kiss goodbye! Boy does Aaron think he's a big boy ~ he knows the ropes, hee...hee... He was showing Alec where his class and cafeteria were. Of course being a mom I had to take pics :D

Home sweet home!....

Thanks to the Lord above, we just completed 5 years with our little home! I love the nest we created for our 3 little chicks. They say the average American would have owned at least 2 houses in their life time. I guess this is it for us!.... We are very blessed to be in our seconded home. When Ariel and I got married his parents gave us a little bitty one bedroom one bath home. But as our family grew we needed space too. So we torn down our wooden frame home and built a brick home. My sisters always tell me that my house puts them to sleep, its very cosy! We seem to think so too! There are soooo many little home improvements that I want to do but the only thing I'm missing is the mula! One day, I keep telling myself... hee... hee... Hmmmm.... let's see, I WANT: put granite kitchen counter tops, outdoor tile, a pretty roof over my patio, repaint my living room, tile in all bedrooms, in close the garage to make my living area bigger, remove my garden tub to be able to extend my stand up shower in my bedroom, remove my mirrors in the bathrooms and put a pretty framed mirror instead, put pedestal sinks in the bathrooms.....the list goes on and on.... A girl can wish right... :-D

Mother nature....

Here I thought we escaped with only two shingles missing, boy was I wrong :-( We finally had a chance to go on the roof and check out what mother nature did. Well not me, Ariel finally had time, you know with his crazy work schedule and stuff. Anyways, he went on the roof to count how many shingles we needed to buy. And to our surprise there was more damage than we had thought. I called in and filed a claim with our insurance company. I hope and pray that they will help us. What Ariel could see he says that we should have had water come in through attic. No water stains have showed on the ceilings or walls yet from what we can see. Please pray for us that we have a little help from our insurance company. Another little obstacle that is given to us!

Aiden's second du!

We took Aiden for a second hair cut. This time we went a little shorter. At first he looked like Dumb & Dumber! LOL.... But after combing it he looks cute!

He sat by himself like a Big Boy!

All done!

Are you prepared??????

Are you prepared for Hurricane Dolly? I'm not for sure... I hate the procrastinator in me, ugh! O' but I did stand in line this afternoon to fill up my tank! hee...hee... I still need to go to the store but I don't want to go cuz of the crowd madness! I think I'm gonna go at midnight... hmmm not a bad I idea now that I think about it. :D Ariel keeps telling me that it's no gonna hit... I think he needs to look at the news! hee... hee...Denial! :O I told Adri to tell her hubby Abel to get the boats ready to rescue us women who will be alone cuz their hubbies will to work! LOL... I wish everyone much safety!

May he rest in peace....

This past week has been ONE crazy week for us. My hubby's uncle (his only uncle on his mom side) passed Sunday early morning the morning after his youngest son got married. He was only 55 yrs old. We think that he was so excited to see his youngest but first son to get married and to see all his family together, which may have over excited his heart. Ariel was pretty hurt by this loss... His Uncle Luis left behind his wife, three wonderful boys and his little girl. His children are so young to have lost their father, that's what hurts me the most. We traveled to 10 hrs to Plano Monday evening (overnight) and traveled back Wednesday afternoon. My poor hubby wasn't excused from work Wednesday evening so he had to go in as soon as we arrived which was about 10:30 pm. =( Everything happened so quick..... I took a semi-Family photo... a lot were missing that's why I called it a semi-photo... who knows when we'll see each other again :( I hope soon... Please Dear Lord keep these little boys in your hands....

In the photo L to R: Yoli, Aza, baby Aza, Uncle Luis's sons: Luis Jr. and LeeRoy, me, Ariel, Aiden, Ariel's cousin Michael, Ariel's Uncle Mr. Nasif, Ariel's Aunt (his mom's sister) Luz, and his cousin Lisa (she's a Pediatrician)...

Guitar Hero ~ ROCKERS!!

Practically everyday last week I'd get home from work to this...... Aiden is non stop! OK, I think my kids are little out of this world! They don't sit to cartoons (they do but for maybe 5 minutes). They prefer to listen to rock or hip hop music, not Disney music. They like movies like Nacho Libre and like rock music..... Beleive me I've tried to change it but no luck.... tooooo funny! Luckily their Daddy is a Cop! Hopefully it will help as they grow up!

Don't fall Aaron!

We had a fun evening tonight with the kiddos. We took them to the trail to ride their bikes. Aaron had been asking us for a while now but there was always something we had to do. We were gonna go last night but his training wheels on his bike broke and by the time Daddy was able to fix them it got to late so we promised we'd take him to night. His training wheels on his bike were replaced from an old bike he had which were way to small. He was afraid to ride it now. We went anyways. He was so excited that we were going as soon as we got there he took off BY HIMSELF! He rode his bike with no need of the training wheels! You should of seen his face; it was full of excitement! You should of heard his Dad; you could hear the excitement and joy in his voice! I guess its a Dad thing, he was so proud of him ~ I Loved It! Alec enjoyed riding his bike as well. As for Aiden, he just loves that Mommy pulls him, he enjoyed the view and loves the water! I loved our family time together tonight! We really don't get to do this cuz of Daddy's schedule but when we do I just love it! We'll definatly be going back!
