Raul was a great Vampire!
And I his Vamptress. I really don't know if that is what you call a female vampire, if not, then I just made a new word up!

Here are our pumpkins. Raul's is all the way to the right, he did Skelvis!

Holy Crap!

Christian's 6th Birthday Party
His Spondgebob Cake

In October, we, as in Sandee, her Mom, her Dad, her Brother, and her 3 kidsMe, and Raul with 3 of our kids, Rob and Melissa with their 2 kids, all did the Alzheimer's walk. We had fun doing organizing our group, and anyone that is interested in joining us our groups name is Sandee's Hope. Her Dad was diagnosed with it, and so we walk for her and her family in the hopes that one day they will find a cure.

Here are the kids with one of the sausages!

Ok, so I know that it has been like FOREVER since I last blogged. I guess life has just been super busy! I went to work in the office shortly after the kids went back to school, still doing Partylite, field trips, collecting unpaid bills from customers, cooking dinner, and managing to somehow miraculously keep my house clean. I finally have a minute to sit down and breath so I thought that I would update with some photos.

Mexico pics

So by now, you have all heared that Raul and I went to Mexico. Not exactly how we wanted to experience my first time there, but Raul wanted to show me some of the more important things. And I am glad that he took the time to show me these things. So these next 3 pics were in the airport when we were coming home.

These were a few clouds from the plane. We thought they were very cool looking

We took a gondola ride with Raul's family and we stopped to get a few pina coladas. They were delicious! From left to right...me, Raul's sister Juana, Juana's son Pepe, Raul's brother Manuel, Manuel's wife Angelica, and Mama Coco

I don't know what this building is called, but it was very pretty and it was next to the university of Mexico.
University of Mexico
This is the center of the City. This is where the President of Mexico stays when he is there.
A beautiful fountain
We ate here. Seriously. Everything in Mexico reminds me of Seven Mile Fair! And the food was soooo goooood!

Ok, these guys were on a bus waving their flags for their team...Pumas was playing I believe Chivas...Soccer. Well they all saw me standing there..me the whitey, and they stopped traffic just so I could take a picture of them!
A picture of all the gondolas! There were a ton to choose from!
Here's the group
Raul and I

This was a HUGE church that we got to go inside of and see a mass going on.

This is a huge portrait of The Virgin Guadalupe. I don't know all the details of who she is, I only know bits and peices of her, if you want to know the whole story, please leave a comment, and I will have Raul sit down with me and tell me her story to write for all of you.
Here is a pic of Raul overlooking the Cathedral
This is something that I have wanted to see for about 12 years now. It is a giant replica of the VIrgin Guadalupe and the Aztecs that came to see her and give her offerings. To see it in person was absolutely breathtaking!
