All Hallow's Eve

Look how cute they are!!! It's been a long time since we carved a pumpkin...Ivan and Nikki helped. Ivan salted and buttered the seeds before we put them in the oven. Nevermind that the only way he could cut the butter into small pieces was to bite them and spit them on the seeds. Nothing 375 degrees in the oven won't kill....

The Groovy Flower Girls themselves!

Where does one find gigantic Halloween outfits for dogs when you live in Brownsville? Online of course. Isn't he gorgeous?

Ivan getting ready to go Trick-or-Treating....The people should be afraid....very afraid...

Here's a picture of all the gang at Emeril's at the MGM. The food was good and pricey...

The company was great...

Me and Anna.


It wouldn't be Vegas without a little Menage a Trois! Thanks for the memories, Mark....

Here's a picture of us October babies! It was taken in the old Downtown Las Vegas - Freemont Street. The light show has unfortunately gone the way of everything else in Las Vegas - SEX! Puro SEX in Las Vegas....

We've been to Las Vegas for three years in a row now. Two times for my birthday...Next time we go will be for Kassi's 21st birthday, 2010! See you then my beloved Venetian. :)

Last weekend we celebrated Anna's Dad's Birthday. 75!!! We had a great time. Stayed at the Comfort Inn. We enjoyed dinner and Karaoke at Daddy's. Walked on the beach at night with flashlights looking for little crabs and the next day had dinner at Mamacitas. They had Karaoke and a small dance floor which we were more than happy to make good use of. :))

Viking Football

Denise, these are for you! We missed you at the game. It was actually quite exciting...Bet they don't have this in Houston...Just one more reason for you to hurry your butt back here.

Almost Fourty and Friday - Just Don't Mix!!

Friday night and all I can think about is getting in bed and going to sleep for about 10 hours. I have to wonder where all the stamina for staying up late and visiting with friends for hours went! Seriously, what happens? Maybe Noemi is right...maybe I just need to have some vitamin B...or at least I think it's B...maybe we should add Ginko Biloba to that....

Looking forward to next Saturdays' Poker 'Hodown... or showdown...whatever...there will be poker and ho's, that's all I meant...

Ike

There's no official evacuation at this time but we're watching and waiting. Hopefully, Ike will not hit this part of Texas...Not that a break from school wouldn't be nice, but not under those crazy circumstances. It's too bad we can't get snow days or something like that. The plans so far are Dallas with my brother or Meadow with my uncle. Who knows... We do know that the flooding will be worse than with Dolly and that was pretty bad as it was.

If we stay, we stay at None's again, but we'll need a hell of a lot more sandbags this time cuz we found out her place tends to flood! Mel and Ed will buckle down at Fort Wadsworth... Pretty scary, but if anyone can handle a disaster situation - it's Ed. You go, Ed!!! Survival mode is on!

First Day!

First day of school! So tired...the kids are pretty good overall. Have some cuties that will be fun to have in class all year.

Nikki had her first day back also. She's still trying to get over that sorry little Aaron... It's hard to see her so sad. Teenage drama can be so overwhelming.

I'm trying to take three classes this semester. Let me tell you people now. I'm gonna be draggin my ass through this semester. tired..grouchy..not a joy to be around for a while...Cuz ya'll know what a joy I normally am!
