Christmas '09

Thank you Fernie Boy and Josie for the hosting the Annual Christmas gift exchange...and might I add, you look fabulous in your CHRISTMAS COLORS! **cough, cough**

Look! It's a Chain Gang!

Christmas kittens....Come here, Santa Baby...

Nikki's Christmas slippers from Tia Licha...How does she look so awake? Oh yeah, cuz we didn't get up 'til noon! I think I like this new Christmas tradition....

And this is an homage to Lauren (Nikki's friend)....Let's call it the Christmas head tilt... :) Just messing with you Lauren - we love you!

Graduation '09

Linda and me sitting and waiting to be called!

It's official! I'm a GRADUATE!!

My family.

Me and Anna

Me and Nikki

I finally did it! Thank you Anna! I could not have done it without you. Next year, maybe your turn? Also, thanks Nonita, your financial and emotional support is ALWAYS WELCOME....

Nikki's Quince

Line dances always get everyone on the dance floor!

I was a nervous wreck!

Nikki and my mom...Beautiful...

It was overall a great 15th birthday party. Nikki had a wonderful time...I tried to keep the crying to a minimum... succeeded for the most part... The music was TOO LOUD!!! but maybe I'm just getting old... nah... it was too loud! She looked gorgeous and I'm so proud of her...

Thank you guys for all your help... Anna and I could not have done it without you all...Hugs and Kisses to everyone. You remind me what having friends is all about...Love you guys!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

AWWW....Can you believe this was only a few short years ago? (*tear*) We look so young! What is up with that?! Sorry Fernie Boy and Josie...Maybe we could Photoshop you guys in!

Denise is Home!!!

AWWWW!!! It's always good to have you home Denise - even if it is a "fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants- whirlwind" type of visit. I love this last picture of you and Drue... Both of you look so fresh and pretty! I especially like the way you look with Pace as your backdrop. (hint, hint)

Halloween '09

Who are these people? Had a great time at the Halloween Party! Thanks Drue Ann... Looking forward to the New Year's Eve Bash! It's good to have friends...

La Playa 09

We had the boys for a few days this summer...took them to the beach with Ricky and Amy...had some fun, food and watermelon...

Diva

My little Punkin has grown up! It's amazing what a few years can do....

More Cowbell!!!

After years of yearning, Fernando has finally played some more cowbell.

Had a great time at Linda and Sam's party!

Went out on the resaca on a little pontoon.

Thought we'd be lost at sea since Fernie can't steer a boat!

Good thing some other guy was there to help out.

Sorry "other guy" didn't catch your name!

Let the SUMMER begin!

The Great Oscar Night Upset of 2009

Oh....my....Gad! Drue Ann takes home the Oscar? What does this mean? Maybe the girl is not so blonde after all! Good for you Drue...Way to take it from the boys club! What can I say Fernie? I'm just as shocked as you....And thanks Alma...Everything was delicious...

Bringing in the New Year

New Year's at Noemi's House.

I don't know what he's telling him, but be sure - Ivan is taking notes!

He says they baked them....uhum...

Aren't they cute? Tony Roma's after the Christmas Parade.

I can't believe it's March! So much has happened and I have had no time to blog...Christmas came and went so fast I hardly had time to enjoy it. We spent New Year's Eve at Noemi's house...Fernie was the chef, of course, whipping up a fabulous meal of Smoked Salmon Steaks and grilled vegetables...We played Chalupa til the stroke of Midnight...Kassie won the POSITO! We have yet to take it from her...And Oh yeah, Fernie and Josie took home the coveted Cookie Exchange trophy....I for one am convinced he bought 'em...
