My boys...

Just because I have not posted any pictures of my sweet, sweet boys in a while....
Here they are playing peekaboo in a giant box. They have been having fun with this box.... don't you love how you spend tons of money on the latest and greatest toys and all they want to do is play with a cardboard box??? Well- the box is from one of my IKEA lockers I got for my bday! How lucky am I - I got not one BUT 2 lockers to add to my lonely (jam packed crafty cabinet) after we build the last on I'll take a picture and show you how cute my craft storage is..... I still want to spray paint them HOT PINK.... but that really would be too much work. I don't even have time to paint my toenails... let alone paint my storage for crafty goodness.....


Have a great weekend!

NOLA

Ok..... so my big trip (without kids). I flew to houston and stayed with the hospitable wells family. I had so much fun catching up with the girls (and chris, too!) It amazing how fast the kiddos grow... Katie is absolutely a beautiful little girl now, not our cute little toddler that we left last year. Evie, she's classic. I just love her to pieces.... she can talk your ear off.... we took a trip to the grocery store (just her and I) and honest to goodness I'm not sure I got a word in edgewise...... she has a lot to say :)

Alright, so we hung in kingwood for a few days and then drove to NOLA (new orleans, louisiana) It was a FUN car ride down and around the bend... I think we only had to stop about 7 times for the potty - we are all used to it, right, we have kids.... we stayed at the hotel montelone - gorgeous place very historic and tres chic...... we went to dinner at Acme's oyster house. I had the BEST jumbalaya I think I could have possible ever eaten. So this a pic before the dinner......

and this a pic after a trip to pat o'briens (go figure)....

Next day was a late morning (for me...) but some of the girls headed to spa and the others went to Harrah's i eventually got my act together and joined them for lunch and then while they gambled... I shopped..... cute little mall called the riverwalk. I had fun.... people watched and had some fudge at the fudgery.... COOL PLACE!! They sing while they make the fudge on a marble slab. Really fun :) Then headed back to the hotel and met up with the girls for a rooftop swim. Then we headed over to the Nelson's apartment (Laura's folks) and had some drinks and great conversation with them. Next we had supper at Irene's - OMG- best restaurant ever!! Supposedly- It's brad and angelina's fav place in nola.... whatever - it's my fav resturant in nola fo'sure..... Took a donkey cab ride thru the city had a late night snack at cafe du monde - had my first beignet - yum! Then headed to back to sleepy time. Next day we strolled thru the french quarter and had some more yummie food. Here's the pic of us while waiting for the car- that the hotel lost...... we had fun..... Thanks for the good times girls!! Ruthless and Toothless Tour must be planned again (soon) :) I do have some other wanna be artsy pictures of NOLA but I only choose to show you the important ones.... the ones with me and the girls - the whole reason I went to houston - to see my girls I miss ever so dearly.


Alright, so if you have been keeping up with the blog.... I'm EXTREMELY close to my 100th post..... like soooooo close i can taste it......... I plan to make something special for a lucky winner whom chooses to COMMENT to the 100th post. So be sure and stay tuned the next few days - if you wanna win? I plan to write about part two of my Houston trip - CKU and how I met my guru of all guru's ALI!!!! (who is super cool by the way....) blog at ya soon!!

More pics of the wedding

Here's a pic of my two beautiful boys and their COOL tio Law-law. Of course his impeccable taste for coolness drew my boys straight to his HAT! (way cool) .... So the two following pics are my boys wearing his hat.... they look just as cool as he does - don't you think so? sorry i forgot to rotate the pic of Q....the one thing i don't like about iphoto...




This last picture is YES my five year old cozy-ing up to the bar... He had a lemonade during his first trip and then switched to water on all future trips. He pretty much hung out at the bar the whole time his lil' bro danced on the dance floor. Ask marcel about his trickle whip and funk-a-dilly moves. He'll give ya an earful about how cool he is :)


love - love - love my precious boys :)

Odd couple

My goofy boys are best of friends! Marz is a total nut.... he loves trying on new hats, one year after halloween at the super sale i went out on a limb and bought this elvis mask for a couple of bucks. It's one of marz's favorite! He wears it with spiderman, captain hammer, monkey regular clothes... so on and so forth. Anyhow, just a snapshot - almost kind of a prom picture. It's one of my daily shots unfortunately no strange angles or subject matter. Didn't step out my box for this shot but "IT'S OK" sometimes you need the everyday average shot to show everyday average life. Now Super Q - he is experimenting with his smile - He's soooo funny he likes to think of himself as a "funny guy" after I take the pic he says "let me see that funny guy" :)
So it's him as a poser "funny guy" with his bro "elvis the skeleton" My life as a mom of two goofy boys - gotta love it!
