The good and the sucky

These past few weeks have included both good and sucky days.

The good..

We took the boys to a local fair at our church. Erik really really enjoys any type of amusement park, so the local fair was perfect!
they sure enjoyed themselves.
the only thing was that Adam was not able to get on many rides due to his age, but nonetheless, that little guys enjoys anything that is outdoors.

here is Hector getting dizzy with Adam on the Merry go round.


Erik coming down the slide.

on the bumper cars


and now Adam and I getting ready to get dizzy too!


one day as I got to my parents house to pick up the kids, I found Adam and my dad enjoying eachother's company.



My dad had this brillant idea to put some ropes where they have some flower beds.
Why? because Adam has a habbit of stepping all over the flower beds.

um.. it didn't take long for him to figure out how to get across.



The boys are growing up too fast. They are getting ready to get their drivers license.


and a girlfriend maybe?
(note: they did this on their own!!! I was just snapping away the pictures!)they had no shame. :)








The Sucky..

One of my co-workers got laid off. It was really sad to see him go. He worked with the company about 4 years and it's like family. I mean you go to work everyday for 8 hours with the same people over and over, so it's like family. I am surprised anyone was even let go this far. The business had been really slow for a long time and unfortunately someone had to get laid off. But that wasn't all, everyones salary was cut. THAT REALLY SUCKS. We were told that they would review the business again in 3 months and possibly give us back our normal salary. Which probably means won't happen!!
although I am tired of my job, I am thankful to have it.

June 7th was my sister in law's 1 year anniversary since her death. Unfortuneatly, she lost her battle to soon against breast cancer. I knew this was going to be a really tough day for my mother in law. Since she lives in Mexico City, I thought of sending her flowers to cheer her up a bit. I found this website that actually delivers flowers, and you know what, they actually did get delivered! When I spoke to her, she was crying and she did tell me she loved my thoughtfullness. Well at least I made her smile a bit on that day. I wish I could bring back my sister in law. If I could, I would also bring back my son. But they are together in heaven.

On Saturday I accompanied my parents to look for some cemetary plots for them.
That is NEVER fun. Unfortunately, it's something we all need. So they are thinking of buying the land for now. sigh.. :(
I hope it is a LONG LONG time before they need them.


This isn't sucky, just thought I'd add it in. :)

The boys got a new pair of tennis shoes. I was able to find a pair of Vans that matched in both sizes!
how cute are they!!




until next time.
