Guess Who?

What a cute little Mexican!

Last night my sis in-law sent us an email with this adorable picture of Cesar. We guess he was about 6 when this was taken. Don't you love the hair? I must say, one worry I've never had is that Cesar might loose his hair. The guy just has so much! So I thought it might be fun to see some before and after shots of all of you. Send me a picture of you when you were younger and one of what you look like now and I will post it for the viewers to see. Send your picture to Tina@marriedtoamexican.com. I will get a picture of me up soon. I will have to call my mom and see what she has. You won't believe what I used to look like!

Ok I admit..... I love American Idol !

In honor of one of the few shows I am willing to drop everything for, here is a funny video I found on youtube. The girls that made this really crack me up. A little side note..... What the heck is up with that Tatiana girl. I'm so glad she is gone. As anyone knows I'm all about my Latina gals but, she really gives Latinas a bad rap. What's with all that hair primping in the middle of her performance? SO TACKY! I will say, I have fallen head- over- hills for the Robert Downey Jr look alike. What's his name? Oh yes, it's Danny. Good thing the TV points into the kitchen ,this way I don't miss a wink while I make my cooking videos. Who's your favorite? I'm dying to know.

Wimpy Chic!

I'm such a wimp! I'm also a very good faker. You see I suffer from a very challenging disease and I choose to fake that I don't. I run around like a chicken with her head cut off until I literally can't walk. Then I'm forced to face the disease I try to ignore. I'm clearly very blessed and I always try to remind myself this. I have the best kids on the planet and the most helpful supportive husband. I just start to feel so guilty after about two days of laying in bed. That brings me to today and this moment. I got up and told myself I had to get things done. I showered and dressed and then made my way downstairs. About two minutes after arriving in the kitchen I realized I wasn't ready to do anything. Back to my bed I crawled. I've been laying here for a few minutes feeling sorry for myself. I hate it when I do that. I then start to think of all the people that I know that are suffering and I force myself to stop complaining in my head. I like to read nie nie's blog I gather great strength from her.
I laid in bed all day yesterday I knew I needed to save my strength for Avery's basketball game. Of course then I got there and jumped around like that chicken I told you about and of course I once again was able to fake my way through the evening. I think the thing that really sucks is that my family has to see the bad side of me while the world always gets the best of me. I really hate that about myself. Why am I so good at faking to others but when it comes to Cesar and the kids I don't? They are the ones that really deserve the best of me.
Well, I have all these videos I have been wanting to make for my cooking page hopefully I will hurry up and get better so I can continue running around like a chicken with her head cut off. I know I sound like a wimp and I need to get over it. If you'er feeling bad read nie nie's blog I know it will help and give you strength. So now I tell myself "Onward Tina, Onward!" I think I can......I think I can.........I think I can!

Makeovers

Secily and her sweet friends decided to give themselves extreme makeovers. Secily and I have been watching some makeup tutorials lately on youtube and I think she thought it was time for her and her friends to tryout some of their skills. Secily, I love you! I'm so glad Heavenly Father sent you to me. I love your great sense of humor you always make me laugh. With a little more practice you will someday be a great makeup artist.

A brand new year!

So my kids were asked to participate in the making of this DVD for the youth of my church. Every time I watch this I cry. Seeing so many youth that are striving to make great decisions in their lives really touches me. We live during a time where societies influence is destroying the lives of so many of our young people. It's refreshing to see so many beautiful young people taking part in a celebration of their lives and values.
See if you can spot my kids.I'll give you a hint......(Mexico!)I love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints it gives my life purpose and meaning. I will always be grateful to the friends and missionaries that shared the gospel with my biological parents so many years ago. I am also grateful that after my mothers death I was able to be placed in a wonderful family that shared this same faith. I was the only one out of the four children to have this blessing.
