Cesar the Bird Whisper!

You may have heard of Cesar the Dog Whisper, well I would like to introduce you to Cesar's cousin Cesar the Bird Whisper. I know crazy, can you believe it? He's my husbands cousin! No, actually I'm kidding, but you would think there must be some relation between them cuz both of them have some strange power over animals. Today I came downstairs and this is what I saw. I know, WEIRDO! Apparently he needed some company while he was working. These two birds bite all of us, but they love him and boy does he love them. Did I ever mention how much he hates the dogs? Anyways I just thought I would share my strange husband with all of you. (No honey you're really not strange, I promise!) Everyone works on the computer with their birds. (Wink Wink!)
Maybe I am spending too much time making cooking videos and he needed a little company.

The Mexicans have arrived!

Saturday we piled the familia into the car and we were off to a Futbol game. So guess what the best part of the game was..... It was FREE! Oh how I love free things. Here are a few picture we took while we were there.

May I suggest?...If you make plans to go to a Futbol game make sure you take a Mexican. My husband and his cousins and friends made the biggest fools out of themselves and had so much fun doing it. Mexicans really know how to have a good time. One of Cesar's cousins had some very loud obnoxious instrument that they would take turns spinning around and annoying all the spectators with. I don't think that was their intention though, they were just enjoying themselves. After the game they announced that the players would be available for people to take pictures with. Cesar's cousin Jose thought it would be funny if he had us make a line and pretend we were waiting to take a picture with him. This was hilarious, there was so many of us that it actually worked and people thought he was one of the players. The next thing you know we were all laughing so hard we started crying. I learned along time ago not to let anything embarrass or bother me when it come to Cesar's familia. I have learned to "Roll with it". Although after the game Cesar did think it would be a great idea to stop at Sonic and get free sundaes for the kids with the coupons they gave out at the game. That was a little much for me. I'm not that tacky! I think it is one thing to go for a burger and use your free coupon at the end for a sundae and another thing to show up with your whole familia for the freebie and not expect to spend a dime. So I chose to ride in the back seat and let Cesar do his thing. When all was said and done the kids had a great time. They know their dad and mom don't always agree and I think if you asked them they would say their mom is a little up tight and dad is just a big kid.

Why fight it, there are just some things about Cesar I will never change, so I just try to laugh and move forward. He has too many good things going for him to let something like that bother me for more then a minute.

My little champion!

Today Farihn came out of the shower and this is what he looked like. Cute huh! Cesar immediately ran to grab the camera so we could catch a shot of the little champion. So Farihn, did you wear all of those medals while you were taking a shower? Just wondering. I can't help but think of how he reminds me of a certain individual that won a lot of medals recently at the summer Olympics.

So I couldn't resist sharing this picture. I just love this little guy. He's such a fun and happy kid. Several times a day Farihn will tell me how much he loves me. He will never know how much his love means to me. I'm so grateful that God has entrusted me with such a precious child. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the unimportant things in life that I forget to enjoy the little special moments. I have a saying on the wall in my house that reads.

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."

Farihn, I love you so much! You are my little champion.

Have a wonderful day everyone! Hug your kiddies!

Your prayers are needed!

Yesterday I received an email from a friend of mine Claudina. Claudina and I met through my cooking videos. I was really saddened to receive the news that her baby son Mihaly has a tumor on his nose. On April 10th he will be having surgery to remove it. Tumors can be a very scary thing. I know she must be a little out of her mind right now and in need of all of our support. Can you guys do me a favor? When you say your prayers at night can you include her family and especially her son in them? I believe in the power of prayer. I know prayer can strengthen the soul to bear the burdens of life. I have suffered through a very difficult diseases for several years now and I have received much strength from the prayers of others on my behalf. Just knowing that someone is praying for you can really make all the difference when you're going through a hard time.

Like many of us Claudina has a very busy life. She is a Mother of four beautiful children, a student about to graduate from college and a wife. Hey, I'm overwhelmed most of the time and I'm not even in college. She really is an amazing Woman. Claudina, may the Lord watch over you and your family. May you feel his peace in your life as you go through this difficult time. Our family truly loves you and each of us will remember your family in our prayers.

Naughty little Secily!

Okay! I will never sleep peacefully again. Here is an example of what goes on when Dad and Mom take a nap. Secily you are such a cutie. I must admit you have your mothers spirit. Secily has decided to start a new series called, "The Adventures of a Naughty Little Girl". Stay tuned! I think I will give her a link off my site.

Bebe on the way!
