It's so special to raise a Pet, they become a part of the family. They have feelings and their own Character that makes them fit in the family perfectly. We got him back in April of 2009 and we've raised him through sleepless nights and a bad case of Puppy Shingles have spent numerous times at the vet and glad to report that we made it!! ha!! 
(This Pic was taken by me because I was paying at the register at Old Navy and couldn't find him when I looked at the display there he was standing very still) LMAO!!! I had to snap this pic.
If there is a weakness of mine it would have to be shoes!! I mean don't get me wrong I love purses, jewelry, clothes, and bargains!! but SHOES!!! OMG!! It's like heaven for me. 
My Mom called me for a lunch date at her home. Her cooking beats any Restaurant I know, cause like most of you'll aint nothin better than your Mom's cookin. She made Fideo with Beans (Favorite Mexican Spaghetti Dish) often made at my Mom's. Bag of Beans cost about a buck and a box of Fideo (Vermicilli) under a buck and some homemade Tortillas priceless!!! YUMMY!!!! :) Oh and I almost forgot the Sweet Iced Tea. I sometimes think there is gonna come a day in my life when I am gonna wish with all my heart I could taste my Mom's Fideo but for now I am going to savor every spoonful!! :) I always look forward to Lunch Dates with my Mom and bonding conversations that only a daughter could share with her Mother. Funny how something so simple could be so Important and meaningful to me.
South Texas has been getting some much needed rain showers lately. We were in drought for about 11 months. Well, no drought no more!! I think all of us here in South Texas have spent the last several months doing the rain dance. ha!! YEAH!!! I didn't mind getting some rain drops on me or didn't mind the muddy shoe prints my kids (and our dog) brought inside. In fact, it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. At night you can even hear the crickets singing as the rain comes, the little Birds playing in the puddles of water on the sides of the roads. The Big Sun Flowers in the Farm fields seemed like they were trying to reach for the skies to absorb the water first. So I would just like to report that we are all Happy here in South Texas and enjoying these Rain Showers! 
We were at one of our Craft events a few months ago and I snapped this picture of my Mother you can see her to the right on hands and knees trying to connect some wires and I don't think she was suppose to be doing that. ha!!! Man, I love my Mom!! She was wearing a dress and people were walking and looking at all the stuff that we had in our booth and she's over there with these wires trying to plug them in. hahahahahaha!!!! I was trying not to shake as I snapped this photo. Keep in mind my Mom is turning 63 today.
My Dad goes to bed early at about 7PM every night since I can remember so my Mom spends her evenings working on crafts. This particular evening I was at her house visiting with her as she was working on some projects and it was cold outside so the "Gas" Space heater was on in the living room. I saw her working on a wreath and putting some decorations on the wreath and all of a sudden out of no where she grabs a can of spray paint and starts to spray this wreath. It all seemed slow motion NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I shouted and she looks at me through her bifocal lenses What's wrong? she says I said Mom you are gonna set this place on fire and Dad is sleeping?! She says, " Pssshh I do this all the time so she proceeded to spray. lmao!!! I snapped a photo from the entrace of her front door with one foot out and one foot in. ha!!!
I was working on these shirts the other night. I thought they came out cute!! ha!!! My Little Boy and Little Girl Monster face tees. Aren't they adorable?! They def were fun making.

I wanted to dedicate today's blog to my Wonderful experience of being able to go see NKOTB in Concert in San Antonio, TX!! A band that when I was in 6th grade was totally in love with and had posters and bedding in my bedroom!! ha!! On my school folders I had written Angela Loves Joey, created dance routines to most of their music, hated every girl in their videos. I wore a side pony tail with my skirt and tights underneath with a Big Joey New Kids on the Block button on it. Bought every cassette they ever made and adored my Sam and Libby shoes. Oh, Man those were the good ol days. Fast Forward to today, I am a mother and in my 30's and I am called "Old Fashion" by my boys but at that concert I was a kid again and suddenly I was in fashion as I looked around me in that center to see that all these ladies were about my age and they came to see the same band. I couldn't help but think that most of these ladies are probably Moms now too, I think I even shed a tear that night. ha!! I got to experience it with my Best and grade school friends. It was definately a highlight of my life and something that I will never forget. Some people might say I'm crazy but who cares I am what I am and do as I please. We acted like 11 and 12 year olds again that night. Screamin and Hollering and singing to every song like we had never forgotten the lyrics and danced. So worth every minute of it! 
After my niece saw some of the little pillowcase dresses I was making, she immediately wanted one and wanted it to look retro. So, we hit the fabric store and found some fabric and came back home and sewed away. Look at how it came out!! It's soooo darn cute!!! We also made a broach out of matching pink polka dot fabric. Let us prove to you that pillowcases are not only for little girls.
Baby Halen Rocks!!! Ha!! Pic posted on 8-04-09
