Kids and the Bazillion year old Cat

June 2009

This is our cat K.C. who is 19 years old... yes 19... she's outlived everyone of her kittens (only had one litter) and doesn't seem to be going ANYWHERE.

Tough old bat!

Pre-K Graduation !!

May 2009

Jacob graduated from pre-k to "K"!! The kids were all sooo serious, it was really cute..

Summer Vacation in Riviera Maya 2008

July 2008 ~ We hadn't vacationed with the Ozuna family in a few years and finally we had the opportunity. We seem to travel well together and yet again we had a wonderful time.

This day at the beach was a lazy day. Perfect in my mind. I think the kids felt the same.
This is at the resorts beach.

Playa del Car ~ shopping and site seeing... the kids hated it until they got a few bucks to spend! Aunt Barbara to the rescue!!!

Here we're in Chichén Itzá. It was a VERY hot day...thus the cute hat on Jake's head.... :) Very cool place to be.

Jacob's first LOVE :)

I haven't posted anything in a while, but I'm at it again. This one's a favorite of mine. This little girl's name is Presley and she's the sister to one of Jordan's (big brother) soccer mates. Well, while Jordan played, Jacob spent his time with Presley. She's a cutey and he's IN LOVE! It's been 6 months since soccer season and he still talks about her. Not just TALKS.... says he's going to MARRY her. WOW! My baby.... marry a girl at 4. I wasn't quite ready for THAT.. heehheeheee...

Jacob goes to see Santa 2007

This was the first year Jake was not AFRAID of Santa, it was GREAT!

Mi Familia!??

3/4/08

One of my 'defective' cousins has made a comment and sent a url, in reference to my posting below. I think it is worthy of publishing so here it is:

Veronica has left a new comment on your post "Mi Familia!??": Compare The Nini's expression with that of Albert Einstein. That's not a genetic defect, that's the expression of a genius. You should consider yourself lucky! Just look at this: http://www.edugraphics.net/gj-people/gj221-to.htm

what can i say.... she's got a point!

I'm thinking that I have kids that are nutz....but in going home for Christmas, I realize it's a genetic defect that I must carry in the genes I've passed to my MONSTERS!! This is the first evidence I've gathered that their behavior is not a DEFECT but a GENETIC MUTATION!!!... :P


Let me show you what I mean!! Observe....

THIS is my cousin Veronica and MY MOTHER!!! MY mother...
she never told me 'crazy' ran in our family... :)

Then, there's my cousin Aaron.... He proudly serves in our US NAVY but he wouldn't let me take a decent picture of him....DAMN IT!! I'm so proud of ALL my cousins serving in the service!!

Late Christmas POST

Ooooooeewww, I'm late with posting my Christmas pictures, but OH WELL, right?

Well, dispite the 'loving' out

ward appearance, these monsters fight all the time. I'm just lucky I got them to sit still for half a second to get some pictures. I had to promise to buy them these hats!! You'll see the other goofy one below too.

Thanksgiving in Tyler 2007

John and I have been going to Tyler for Thanksgiving for the last 18 years.

(that IS a big stack of wood.. or should I say small trees, behind the boys, which will be a VERY large BON fire later......you know you're a 'rednecks' when... heee heee.. I LOVE THEM!)

It's a great place to spend time and visit with family.

Tina cooks the best STUFF and LOTs of it.

Of course, being in the country is the best part for the kids.

They have horses, cows, a pond near by, trails,

4 wheelers and TRACTORS!

Uncle Jerry, he always takes the boys out on the tractors.

This is my cutie pie nephew, Michael with Jake.

They were in heaven.

Halloween 2007

This Halloween was pretty fun.... there were kids everywhere!! Most I've seen in years.

The boys, Jordan, Jake and John went to the "son & dad pumpkin carving" at Jordan's elementary school. They did a great job!

Jake was so cute, he dressed up as a very bulked up SPIDER MAN...

it was funny.... he was diggin the muscles..

Not about my monsters....

This is a posting that is not about our family, but about my 'work' family... Diamond H Recognition recently had a fire in our corporate office. It's been pretty devastating.

On August 24th, an electrical fire broke out and basically took out our front office space. Fortunately, we resumed business by noon on the same day from the fulfillment operations, which were not harmed in the fire.

Shortly after the fire was put out, while the fire department was investigating, I ran home to change clothes and the photographer in me grabbed my camera. I took the photos below and am continuing to capture images as we continue to get through a bad situation.

New PJ's

It's time for school to start again, so I went clothes shopping for my 10 year old. Found some cute PJ's for Jake too, so I HAD to take new pictures. Jordan is a ham too, so he sat his baby brother on his lap for this photo op. They CAN play nice....sometimes....ummm...for a few minutes....

Summer Fun

This summer's been pretty great. New pool, swimming like crazy and just sittin around turning crispy brown...lol... In this pic, my little monsters enjoying the water as usual. He's learning to swim and doing great.

Aunt Wendi

Summer FUN! This weekend "Aunt Wendi" came to visit to see our new pool and play with the monsters.

As you can see, aunt Wendi has "stars" in her eyes, when it comes to the kiddos...hee heee

Much FUN was had, lots of VINO and fantastic salad that Wendi brought over, made with her home grown veggies! yummmmm

Here, Jordan's standing in our pool before it was finished. This summer's going to be a blast! Texas sun and a new pool! The American dream!

Baby in a box. The day he was delivered!

This is my BIG kid..no quite 10 yet, but looks like a 12 year old. He'll be my baby forever. No matter what! :P

Long time no bloggg

It's been a long time. Not that worried, cuz it's probably only me that see's this, but im blogging anyway.

This is a Jake on Easter day. Had a nice brunch with friends I love dearly.

October 2006 - OUR 15th Anniversary

John and I went to NYC in October to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversay! It was MY first time and I fell in LOVE with it..

This picture is from the Top of the ROCK. Beautiful


This is ground zero... it was still just a big HOLE... I think it was about one week after we were there, that they found bones! 5 YEARS after 9/11. That's so sad.










Here, John and I are on a ferry going to Ellis Island.

Silly little fairy :P







This one's just ME at the wall on Ellis Island with the Statue of Liberty behind me.

Ellis Island was my favorite place!

Summer Soccer 2006

JaKe was doing this upside down thing, at Jordan's first soccer game of the season...
Of course I was focused on HIM and I missed Jordan's first goal of the season...
eeep!... I missed it... :(










Jordan loves his soccer.

Jake was patting his brother on the shoulder during a break.... HOW sweet is that!

Silly Jakie...and ouhh ooohh

This is just too funny NOT to post!












Little Monster's up to something....
