Was it Jason's graduation party or ours... hee.. hee...

We had a blast at Jason's graduation party! Jason is the son of my friend/coworker Pat :D Her baby is graduating this year... tear ;-( Since things are kinda crazy where we work we (Rachey, Emy, Adri,Mary & I) figured to have our pre-Chrismtas party or our closing party!! hee... hee... (sooooooo not funny, RIGHT!) But we had a blast!!! Here are some pics.... Oh... the following morning Big Boy DJ called talking smack and I told him "they shouldn't leave unattended bottles with deprived women... LOL"

We're goin green!!!

I had been hearing that the grocery stores were working on doing away with the plastic bags meaning that no matter what people were gonna have to purchase these cool new bags. We did! We looked like those people in the movies coming home with cloth bags! Woohoo!!! I hardly shop at HEB so I don't know what color their bags are but the bags at Wallyworld are black ~ they look so cool... Eventually I'm gonna have to buy like 10 bags.... we always come home with more than one bag!!!

Mommy's little helper!

I just had to share.... Here is Aaron helping mommy cut the front lawn. He was excited to use the lawn mower by himself. He's excited NOW we'll just wait and see how long it lasts! In a couple of years I can see myself after him to cut the grass! LOL ~ kids :D

My Boss :-(

Today I received very sad news... my boss of almost 6 years, Mr. Miller, informed me that he was resigning; his last day is June 4th. I have much respect for this man. He's kind, compassionate, understanding, SMART AS HELL, an AWESOME boss and will be truly missed by his staff. I don't think there's another Mr. Miller in the world. When you've worked at place for a long time you become like family. I wish him and his family the very best on their new journey. I hope, no let me rephrase that, I KNOW he won't forget us, how could he :D! He'll have many stories to share with his new staff ~ hopefully good stories :D I'll miss you Mr. Miller & Kelly!

My baby started daycare!!!

Today was Aiden Joseph's first day at daycare/school. Even though I've been down this path before IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER :-( A co-worker informed me of the daycare where she takes her little boy; it's in San Benito ~ Marie's Daycare. She is an ex-LVN (retired) of more than 15 or 17 years and follows a school curriculum; which I thought was kind of neat. My two older boys also went to daycare/school when they were younger and as I said before it doesn't get any easier especially when it's you last baby. Aaron started when he was 18 mths at St. Teresa Catholic School and Alec started at 10 mths at Spirit of Joy. They were both very good places. Aiden just began and he's 22 mths ~ he started late I guess cuz he's the BABY!!! I've been fortunate to have my mother-in-law watch them whenever I need her but I was time for him to interact with other toddlers. My sisters also put their children which gives me a piece of mind that he's playing with his little cousins. Ms. Garcia seems like a very nice lady ~ I just hope that our kids don't drive her nuts :-)

Pre-Mother's Day Gift

Alec attends San Benito Headstart. They have monthly meetings the first Monday of the month. Well this past Monday they had a special treat for the mommies. After the meeting was done they brought the kids in, each one of them had a little something for their mommy. The children stood in line holding their little present and sang the "mananitas". Of course the mommies started crying, how could we NOT!!! It was just priceless!!! Alec gave me a little card with his hand print painted on it and pen with a rose wrapped around it!!! I loved it!!! These are just some of the little things that make being a mom so special... I'll have to take a pic and post it... o.k. I'm getting a little teary eyed again!!! :D

Way to go Blue Dawgs!!

Although the season isn't over yet the boys had another tournament "mid season"; they placed 3rd! We are very proud of them! They played a total of 4 tournament games and only lost 1, go figure 3rd place. I thought they would have placed 2nd but I'm still learning the rules... This tournament was fun ~ they had to shut the parents up or we were gonna be thrown out!!! It was exciting!!! The boys have a couple of days off and then they start with a new set of games for the month of May!!! Let's go Blue Dawgs!!!
