Hi and welcome to my lil' corner of the world wide web (i think i'm the only person that still uses that term). Anyhoo, I'm glad you're here. This is my "family blog" or should I say "momma blog" because let's be honest...it's a blog of my ramblings. It's a place where I post the adventures of my little family and my love for food and photography. This is where I will brag about my perfect kids and my perfect husband...how they never leave their wet towels on the floor, how they eat their vegetables, and how they never ever throw tantrums. Ha!!! not even close :P

We are a normal-average (ok maybe not so normal) family with two crazy wonderful lil' kids who are good most of the time sometimes. And same goes with my hubby. They all drive me crazy at times but I LOVE them to the moon and back.

Thanks again for stoppin' by!

Rewind...then Fast Forward

I think its necessary that we go back a little, then fast forward to today.

Hugo and I met in the summer of 2001. He's my first love...and I am his last :P
The story of how we came to be will have to wait...its kinda long and complicated. We have 2 crazy wonderful kids.

Christopher
DOB 12-23-2004 (Houston, TX)

Hannah Elizabeth
DOB 11-05-2007 (Arlington, TX)

Right now we are living in Arlington, TX. We've been here for almost 3 years now. Prior to that, we were living in Houston. We moved because Home Depot, Hugo's previous employer, promoted him to District Manager for the Dallas area. But he was laid off a year later and since we recently purchased our FIRST HOUSE and we really like it here, we decided to stay.


Some recent events (in chronological order)

  • Hugo's truck (04 Dodge Ram 2500) was stolen right off our driveway. Which left me at home with the kids with no car since he had to use my truck.

  • We bought a 2007 Tahoe I-195 ski/deck boat. We needed a "pick me up" :)

  • About a month later Hugo's boss gave him the company truck to use while we wait for our insurance $$$ to buy another truck. The Insurance is giving us $14K. Things are looking up since we only paid $11K for the truck.

  • We went camping with one of our good friends and took the boat with us. Camping and tubing is definitely a fun way to spend your weekend.

  • 2 Days after we received the check the company truck was stolen right off our driveway. Back to "stuck at home" with no car. The kids and I were going CRAZY !!!!

  • Hugo and I are taking turns sleeping in the front room with our shot gun right next to us. Waiting for the thieves to come back.

  • My family came to visit us for Memorial day. The weekend would have been better if the kids weren't sick with a stomach virus. First it was Christopher (he had it the worst), then Hannah started vomiting (only one day thank goodness), then Tasha caught it too.

  • Finally June 10, 2010 I have a car again...or should I say a new car. After about 3 months of having no car I am now a proud owner of a 2010 Nissan Armada Titanium. Its the nicest car I've ever owned. Hugo got another truck as well, a 2003 F250 4X4. Ok enough bragging about that, hopefully no one steals these cars =/
