Apparently letting your kids play in after hurricane flood water is considered pretty disgusting here in our subdivision. We got a lot of stares and comments, but please, lets face it, my kids have played in, drank, and eaten worse!

Mustache Bash
NOTE: these pics are 2 months old, you didn't miss his birthday, Aunt J...
We made a Mustache Bash for Beckham's 2nd birthday. This cookie cake was basically a result of me running short on time and having to wing it at the end, but I love how it turned out anyway. The other two cookies you can't really tell from this angle, but were a bow tie and mushtache.

My favorite part of his day was when all the house was quiet and the after math was cleaned up, we got to play his favorite game.
Texas part II
It's really cool to have my mom still live in the same neighborhood I grew up in...my kids get to hit up all the parks and fun places I used to enjoy.

My first nephew and I have children who are each about 6 months apart...is it weird that I have great nieces and nephews? Well, I did come along 8 years after my brother and sister.
If you've ever been to Texas, you've at least heard of a paletera. They are mostly known and loved for their delicious all natural paletas (popsicles) made with fresh fruit and fruit cups drizzled in the traditional seasoning of salt, lime, and chile...let's just say it's everything pregnant woman's dream come true. We quickly became regulars during our vacation. My nephew nearly landed me in the hospital for hypertension after he and I shared an "Angelito"...it's a sort of icee with lemon juice and salt, so yummy, but terrible for your tooth enamel, and horrible if your already having issues with water retention.
