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
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
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!
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 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!
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....
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!
