Wow!

um i just realized my blog count hit over 30,000 views... that's CRAZY! :-] i still have some faithful readers out there even with my lack of updates :-] haha thanks for stopping in and reading up on me guys!

as promised, here are the pictures :-] i realized after looking at my pics that we did have a few other unmentioned activities happen. so here's a sum up of everything!

note: as i started to upload pictures, i discovered that the internet is obscenely fast tonight! i have no idea why, so what was going to be two separate posts became a super-de-duper long one :-] i figure while i have a good, fast connection i'm going to take full advantage of it!

the t-shirt blanket/quilt i was telling you all about... 

 piecing it together was quite the task trying to get the colors laid out how i wanted and everything

finished product! i LOVE this thing. i put a grey jersey sheet on the back of it and it's just the most comfy blanket everrrrrrr :-]

a few weeks ago los Limones had several of us over for supper. talk about a fun night! talking, singing, playing the drum... it was great!

 hanging out on the kitchen island...

 jaqui - to make a long story short her and karla were climbing in a very tall tree. she fell out of it, couldn't move, and after a long night of x-rays and doctor runs, she was put in this brace. Praise the Lord she didn't break anything! :-] He is good!

 Kali and Jonathan were with us too -- checking out Limon & Kristi's engagement book of course! haha

 speak of... :-]

 i'm not sure who took the follow pictures... but i think they're all funny so i put them on here. 

karla and fede at their finest... 

 my favorite i think haha 

 angel on the gator "driving" with his... legs/feet? 

 while us adulto-s praised us some Jesus, the kiddos played cards.

 mili is still bald. :-]

 but cute as a button!

 little miss luisa. remember when she got here this summer? go here if you can't remember... 

 she is just a little chub!

 yes juantan? 

 OOOOOOH I WANT THAT!

 going for the grab...

 and juantan intercepts the grab! haha

 i love her stuck out tongue action here lol

 mils with older sister fer

 and younger brother LeoB

here's a tree.

 notice anything strange or odd about it?

 try looking a little bit closer...

 better now? 

yup. 

that's right. 

a kid is that high in that tree.

oh diego - are you part monkey or something? 

nicolasa had a birthday and we went out for supper 

 i don't think she was seriously this excited -- she's a good actress lol

and chelly was our photographer. thanks chel!

this afternoon i got invited to go on a picnic with the casa rota! they were actually just using me because they wanted good pictures of their kids with my camera, but i didn't mind. lol 

 group #1

and the follow-uppers- group #2

lunch consisted of... plus apples and cookies

 but mine was just jelly. if you know me at all, you know just how much i don't like hate disgust more like abhor chocolate, and even more, peanut butter. :-]

 zulema and her kiddos came with us too!

 fer & belinda

 one thing i learned today: dirty kids = happy kids

 isn't she just beautiful? 

 watch out! the next charlie's angels!

 jenna was peaking behind the dirt pile being the paparazzi at us... 

 and i caught her in the act once we realized what she was doing haha

 climbing climbing and more climbing!

 like i said.... dirty kids = happy kids

 and to close.... this is interesting. i'm sitting on my blanket minding my own business when all the sudden i hear heidi and jenna getting grossed out. i open my eyes to see jodi holding keyla on her lap. and i didn't see what the big deal was...

 and then jodi says "hey rocky -- you might wanna come document this one..."

 slightly closer shot.... that's a rock with snot on it. apparently while keyla was being punished (aka sitting in timeout) she thought it would be a good idea to shove a rock up her nose! NASTY! AND OUCH! jodi dug it out gracefully and we now have a fully breathing 3 year old again, praise the Lord!
