Wrestling and other things

I never, EVER thought that i would enjoy wrestling. I actually HATE these kinds of sports because of how violent they seem. I can't even watch football, because of all the pushing and piling and... I was very surprised at how enthusiastically I embraced Cesar's decision to join his school's team. I thought I would be crying when I saw him the first time, but instead, I was yelling so loud, I'm pretty sure he's sorry that he ever gave me a copy of his schedule. He didn't win on this particular match, but it was a close call. We'll see how much he gets into it.


I love these pictures... Love it when my two boys interact and have fun together. Boy! Cesar IS getting cuter (If I may say so myself!)


Last Friday, Coco and I went to see "Seussical the Musical" with her classmates. It was a very nice play, and I had fun with her friends and her. It is just so awesome to have the opportunity to spend time with her. It was kind of a "date" for the two of us.




Sorry I've been gone for a while. I was sick for a few days, and then the kids were sick, too. Now, Cesar will be going for surgery to remove his tonsils on Friday... poor little thing. I'll keep you posted as to how he does.
Lots of hugs!

Wrestling is really big at our middle and high school. I never remembered it when I was in school, but it's really popular here.

The pics are all great!

Hi friend!
Great wrestling shots given that they were probably moving at lightning speed!! You are right about Caesar, he is filling out & looking older....& very handsome too :o) Sorry about the tonsils though, I know how painful they can be.

Isn't the theater the best!!! Maxi & I also call our visits there, our own special 'daytime dates', I am glad your two had such fun.

Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my blog...they never fail to put a smile on my face. I appreciate you!

Fantastic photos! I love the rough and tumble sports, hockey particularly, but wrestling always seemed over the top for me. Ouch! Sounds like you're one proud and supportive Momma. :) Hope his surgery went well, and has had a speedy recovery.

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

Happy birthday, USA!!!

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t...
