The weekend has finally desended on me....Yeah!! I am so glad that we have these short windows to do things with the people that we love the most yet get to see the least. This weekend we are planning to go to a Beer fest/celebration with his boss over a prodject at work that has finally been launched sucessfully, and then we are planning to see the movie nights at Rodathane(?) don't exactly know if that's how you spell it, have been looking forward to it for a while though. We are also helping Nadia find and hopefully purchase a car, it will be so much nicer for her to have that luxury considering the bus systems are not that great here.

There has been a cute little calico cat that has been hanging around the house ( I did feed her some tuna and eggs much to alex's protests) I really do miss having pets around they have always seemed to be able to get me into a good mood, simply because they love you no mater what. I really hope that she sticks around ..... any how i'll write more later love to all

Made the best marinade/salad dressing the other day thought I'd share..
2 Tbsp of honey
2 Tbsp of lime juice
2 Tbsp of orange juice
2 Tbsp of lemon juice
a few sprigs of mint
1 clove garlic
2 Tbs of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Perfect0!

Today I woke and flipped on the TV, I dream of Jeannie was on, love that show, I watched or rather listened to it as I got ready for work, then headed out the door in a rush as always, don't know why I can't calmly walk out the door sometimes, After work today Nadia and I made some rice krispie treats today my first ever!! We made them more for Alex and Nadi than for myself, as I think I was born without a real taste for sweets, I would rather eat chips or bread anyday. I also went to the ranch market and picked up some fruits and veggies, always seem to find a pretty good deal there. Nadia and Alex are watching TV right now, I wonder what they are watching? HMMMM. I am looking at a table full of those yummy ranch market deals and they more I look at them the more disenchanted I feel about putting them all away. Okay Okay I think I'll just have to bit the bullet or in this case the banana and do it.

Relaxing with Mom and Haleigh

Getting ready for dinner
Alex and Opie

I found the camera charger !!!! Yes !! Well to set the record perfectly straight Alex found the charger, so glad he did it is nice to be able to take pictures again. We went up to Prescott this weekend and saw Mom and Haleigh, havn't seen them for a while so we had a good time. Haleigh had arranged for a little birthday get together for John's birthday at the Texas Roadhouse, had never been there but it was good food, and the weather was perfect, so glad to see the summer head out. It seemed especially long this year. Here are some pictures of the weekend

I tried to post some new news the other day but I got a little sidetracked.... So here goes the news.
Last week found the Delacruz household fairly busting at the seams. Lani, Lynette, Nadia, me and Alex all under one roof, :) it was fun.
Lani was visiting before she left for Mexico she is planning on being gone just a bit so it was nice to have the time to catch up on all the stories. We are trying to finish the patio design for my little patio garden. We still need to get some rocks to construct a raised flower bed and then we can get some plants in. I have been wanting to do this for a long time so it is nice to see some steps being taken in that direction. We also painted a picture for the wall I had seen one of some goldfish that I had really liked and we all tried to duplicate it. I think we did a wonderful job but I am still wondering where to hang it hmmm?
I would post a picture of this but suddenly the charger for my camera battery is missing, I am planning on diligently searching for this as it is very frustrating to not be able to take some pictures ahahhh,!@#$%
Any how that is all for now here is a couple other pics from last weekend hopefully my searching will be fruitful and I will have additional pics to post later

Apple bottom song messed up

We went up to Payson, Pine and Strawberry on the way up we had to kill some time :) This is what Alex came up with, he stuffed some carrots in his lips and tried to sing.It cracks me up everytime I watch this video...

New news

Greetings all-

Things have been going well here in the southern part of Arizona. Settling back into a routine after the vacation. On August 8, 2008 I celebrated my birthday! 08/08/08 pretty cool huh? That definitely won't happen again well probably not in my lifetime that is:). I did have some neat gifts and lots of phone calls with well wishes, it is nice that these people remember you on your birthday.Saturday Mom, Haleigh and Josh came down to celebrate with me for my birthday we tried out a new sushi restaurant "Ra" pretty good food there, I tried the veggie sushi and salmon skin sushi..mmm I don't know if the rest of them were as enthused about the sushi as I was but it was fun. After that we went and saw a movie about the mummy then browsed around the Bass Pro shop. I wanted to show Haleigh Fountain Hills so we went out there and watched the fountain go off a couple times. On the Sunday following my birthday, Nadia moved out from Maine to start working with me, since the other front office girl got a new job. She is doing fantastically well, learning lots I am trying to not over whelm her with all the info that is spilling out of my brain, I hope that I am not making the job to intimidating. Well thats about it for now I'll try to write some more later.... Peace out
