SPRING BREAK 2009
The boys and I decided to go to Del Rio and to San Antonio this year for Spring break, we all had a great time visiting family and friends. The much needed vacation came off without any disasters. We can't wait for the next vacation to come.

Enjoy our Post

Mi Tierra Cafe is one of the more popular restaurants in San Antonio at Market Square. We went before the Spurs game, but the wait was over an hour and it would have made us late for the game, maybe on our next trip to San Antonio, besides Mi Tierra Cafe never closes!

One of the highlights to our Spring Break was going to a Spurs game. Unfortunately I was not allowed to bring my camera with my lens, so thanks to my friend Art who brought his smaller camera we were able to get these pictures....until his battery went dead. The spurs game was like one big party. Austin said it was the best day of his life.

Tony Parker in action!

San Antonio Temple - March 2009

My mom and I had a great experience in the temple. A temple worker was one of the missionaries that converted our family 38 years ago in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Let me know and I'll share the awesome story.

OK, this is how the story went, on our trip to San Antonio, my little sister Linda said that she never gets to pick where we all get to eat, it's always someone else picking the location, so she was pretty adamant about where to have lunch.... Hooters!!! She said the chicken wings are the best. Well my boys have never been there and were not sure that I would ever take them there again, so they begged for a picture with a "Hooter girl"... oh and the boys each took pictures on their cell phones. They were thrilled, can you tell on their faces.

Can you believe it! My mom grows poinsettias in front of her house.

The boys and I are having a great Spring Break!

Christa Lee and Austin (cousins) had a great time during vacation having water balloon fights, and climbing grandma's roof for fun.

TACOS ACA TOY The best tacos you will ever eat! They are roast beef crispy tacos rolled up, topped with a crema (cream), tomatillo dressing, cabbage, tomatoes, onions
and a jalapeno on the side

We eat them on the sidewalk where we buy them.

I make this stop almost everytime I come to Acuna, Mexico

Austin's idea of vacation on the road!

I've been looking through all my hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures that I have boxed, stored, labeled, and have found so many that are not yet put in my treasured albums. I have been out of touch with my scrapebooking hobby for so long, blame it "all" on nursing school. I am now about 3 years behind, but have all intentions in returning to a habit that I really love and miss doing. I have continued to stock up on the latest brads, eyelets, ribbon, paper, stickers, buttons, scissors, templates, flowers, chip boards, metals, epoxy, paper clips, idea magazines, etc. , did I leave anything out. I have a great craft room area, I just need to get started and "just do it". I'm thrilled to share the photos that I stored away and neglected with my family and friends.

Am I a lucky "granny" or what!

Pretty little angels

In my next life, I want to be a photographer, I love to take pictures, the boys have totally outgrown the "say cheese" for me. My new subjects are a little challenging, but I get so much satisfaction doing it. Truly looking thru the eyes of Love! I love my girlies and love being their granny!

This last weekend the boys and I took a trip to Lubbock to visit family, John and Sue, the boys love seeing them. We didn't get there till Saturday afternoon, but was able to go to their IMAX and see a showing of "Mummies", it was very interesting. We followed it with a trip to Barnes and Nobles and Circuit City since they are going out of business. Don't rush to circuit city, everything is pretty much picked over, the only thing left is a bunch of printers and IPods that are only 15% off which isn't much of a sale to me. I am in the market for one of my own. The boys IPods have a lot of their music that I'm not too crazy about. Anyway, we had a great time visiting, eating, taking a Sunday drive to Ransom Canyon and just enjoying each others company.
Is Austin really getting that tall!
How do you like my pretty purse,

We always have a great time when we visit John and Sue

This is Ransom Canyon in Lubbock
There are homes all along this pond/lake, having a pond/lake in their back yards would be so awesome. Many of the homes are really large and gorgeous.

This is a home at Ransom Canyon that we saw while visiting Lubbock
It's much larger up close. What some people do when they have tons of money!
