This what my brother changed my wallpaper to on my cell phone one day while he was visiting San Antonio when my mom was sick. He is always doing things that remind us that we are glad that we only see him every once in a while... just kidding... we love him.

July 25, 2008

This was the best birthday present I ever gave. This is my niece E's Build-a-Bear, Serena. She got to pick a toy at the Dollar Store the other day and she picked a new shirt for Serena. She has many outfits. It is very funny to see E take care of her dog Serena. She got to pick the name and everything. Her brother got one too, he got a monkey. He named his, "Way to Fast" ... he is too funny...

July 24, 2008

It's such a small picture. This is an old picture too. A few weeks ago my sister sent it to me. This is my niece and my great-niece. 6 and 3 months. They are both so beautiful.

July 23, 2008

This is part of the freeway coming out of downtown. It is 5 lanes wide. I think it's cool. My mom doesn't.... I love being able to go faster and having the freedom to do something different than the other hundred people besides me. But there are times when we all get to sit there together... that is not fun... honestly, I haven't done that hardly at all. But San Antonio is HUGE.

July 22, 2008

This is proof for my brother's that the "Great White Scout" does know how to get to I-10. West
West goes to my house. :0)

July 21, 2008

This is City Hall... and the Spanish Mansion is behind it. We were still driving. San Antonio has a lot of history in the city.... of course the Alamo and all the Missions... but Mexician stuff and German stuff and then plain white stuff... That's me... ha, ha, ha.... I guess I'm german too???

July 20, 2008

Ok... I don't know why there is a cowboy on top of a building... but there is... and he is COOL! It is downtown also. Across the street, kind of, from the court house. We were driving and I suddenly reached acrossed my mom and got this GREAT picture. He's so COOL!!!

July 19, 2008

There are palm trees sproating out of the sidewalks. On the left is the parking garage... on the right and up and little is the court house. I'm not going to take another CASA case for a while. Not until I can drive again. I can follow the rules if I can't drive myself. I will wait. I want to help children but I want to do it right. I have to be healthy myself first.

July 18, 2008

We were driving down town and there are bushes all over the places that are so beautiful. But you can't just stop and take a picture... so my mom is driving and I'm trying my best to roll down the window and turn the camera on and get it straight. This is the best I got of the these beauties. There was a whole roll of them in front of a tire store.... I thought it was a funny place for such a beautiful thing.

July 17, 2008

This is the court house and a neat building behind it. It is neat. I don't know what it is. It is just part of the San Antonio sky line. Another interesting part of a cool city.

July 16, 2008

Here is my adempt at being art-ies... This is the empty hall in front of the court room where my CASA case is. It is complete. It turned out great. He is going to be adopted by his foster family. It is a great situation. It couldn't be better for him. I'm happy for him.

July 15, 2008

This is a funny little coffee spot. It's across the street from the court house... It's called the "The Docket" I was still in the parking garage when I took the picture.

July 14, 2008

This is the court house in down town San Antonio. I was across the street in the parking garage on the third floor. It was a cool sight. I had one of our last hearings for CASA last week. Trial starts on Thursday and then I'm done with this case. One year done. Wow.

July 13, 2008

This was in front a Chick fl'A ... They have funny commericals. Cows are advertising to eat chicken... I think they are very funny. This was a blow up thing on the lawn in front of the store.

July 12, 2008

She is pretending to drive a race car. She is eight. She always has funny faces.

July 11, 2008

For some reason... licking your hand is what you do in a picture.... it as gross... Can you tell how hot we were?

July 10, 2008

I know this is an awful picture of me. But cute of the "new hair cut" ... It was really, really hot that day... and we were sitting outside.

July 9, 2008

It looks like he's in trouble... he's not. I'm not sure what he's doing. oh... also he decided that he didn't need pants. O.K. He's a funny little man.

July 8, 2008

These are the curls from the first hair cut... they got saved for her baby book. Lots of cute curls...

July 7, 2008

Here is the after... she is so cute. About an hour after it was cut... she asked me, "Am I still cute?" she was worried... I laughed and hugged her... and reassured her that she was still cute.

July 6, 2008

This is the before picture of my best-est friend's four year old's hair... she's never had her hair cut before. EVER. So this is the before....

July 5, 2008

Here is the same tree... just a different position... I realized that it was July 4th... we never even left the apartment that day. We watched some fireworks on t.v. But that was all the excitiment we had for our nation's birthday. We are feeling better every day. But not back to our old selves yet.

July 4, 2008

This is a bend over tree that is still growing in our parking lot. It's a cool looking thing.

July 3, 2008

This was hair cutting day. This is my best-est friend's eight year old. She is showing me her new shorter hair. She loves her long hair. It still seems really long to me.

July 2, 2008

It was really hot this day... He was trying to tell me that his seat was hot in his "Go-Go" but I didn't get what he was saying... He wasn't very happy with me. He's not quite 3... I understood later.

July 1, 2008

I finally have some other picture besides animals :0) This is my best-est friend's little guy. He is showing me a rock from his "Go-Go". He is a very intense young man. He makes me laugh.

June 30, 2008

If you look in the back ground there is a HUGE rodent. (like 160 lbs.) I don't know what it was called. But it was kind of scary... there were two of them, I saw one of them, but I didn't expect the other one to be swimming around... I jumped A LOT. It had huge teeth. When it gets scared it swims away. I just push my brother in front of me... they really like that. Ha, Ha!

June 29, 2008

He was big, beauty... the last time we were at the zoo we saw two birds beating each other up right below his perch. He doesn't really move from his spot. Those birds were increditably mean to each other. Like trying to drown each other. MEAN!

June 28, 2008

These were the only babies we saw besides the kangaroo. They are kind of the ugly ducklings. I don't really know what they are. But they were cute, this was soon after my walker got poop on.

June 27, 2008

The otter's were very playful. They went back and forth... A lot. I promise I'll run out of zoo pictures soon. But they are cool.

June 26, 2008

It was kind of sad to see the Bald Eagle. He was on the ground. Not flying. But he looked cool.

June 25, 2008

This is my oldest brother being a flamingo... he has some work to do to be able to blend in. Two brother's, two sister's, grandma, one aunt, and one cousin came to San Antonio, Texas. It was coozy at my house. We had a great time together. Unfortunate that they had to come because my mom almost died. She's fine now... hasn't gone back to work yet. But she's getting stronger everyday. Everyone thought that Texas was TOO hot. They decided that you should take a big breathe before you went outside... they were funny.

June 24, 2008

This is some of the flamingos... There were orangey ones and pinky ones... these are the pinky ones. This day is actually the day my mom got REALLY sick. She went into septic shock, one of my sister's come that night, then everyone else come the next day. It was quite an adventure.

June 23, 2008

More proof that it was really hot... it's a really ugly hyena.

June 22, 2008

Here is "Mommy" Kangaroo... we watched the baby jump in the pouch. The sign said he was born in November. He was a tiny little thing. The mommy jumped around got food and water... It was so cute. It looked quite warm though. I told my sister that she had quite the "hooter hidder", my niece, with the new baby has a cute one. Not so hot though.

June 21, 2008

Here is a silly duck... I'm not a fan of birds. A bird pooped on my walker while we were in the zoo. The napkin hunt took a really long time. There were tons of different birds, not to bad.

June 20, 2008

Even the Lions, who live in Africa, thought it was increditably HOT. When my niece and nephew were here we never made to see them because the six year old was always complaining to much to actually get there. WE MADE IT! Yeah!

June 19, 2008

Here is a BIG huge wart hog. He's getting ready to roll in the mud. He had big old tusk on him.

June 18, 2008

Here is the "left over" animal... I don't know what it's really called. It has all the left over parts the God didn't know what to do with. :0) Just kidding... at this point, my sister and I were really tired and sat down. My brother broke down and bought ANOTHER water for $3.00. WOW!

June 17, 2008

Here is a very friendly rhino. He wanted people to touch him. There was a security guard stand right next to the fence telling people not to touch him. He would reach his nose up to touch people. The fence was about six feet down from the regular ground level. You could just reach down and touch the rhino's horn. The security guard had a first aid kit... a BIG one... he just stood there yelling at people... not very nice. The rhino was nice ;0)

June 16, 2008

Here are the hippo's they were really close together... they eventually move apart. The closest one stuck his hiney towards us... we got a lot of hiney's that day. But they were still neat.

June 15, 2008

Here is the beauty again. He's still precious.

June 14, 2008

This is my lovely, 30 year old brother... Isn't he precious. We think he's just so sweet ;0)
My brother's and sister's came to Texas when my mom was so sick. It was a close call, but she doing better every day. She's still home, but getting stronger. Everyone has gone back home now... I loved having everyone here. I got to show them why I love Texas.

June 13,2008

Unfortunately ou can't see how cool this tucan was... his color was awsome. but here he's black.

June 12,2008

A lemur... They were cool. we got some really neat pictures.

June 11, 2008

He showed us his "hiney" A lovely monkey with the great personality.

June 10, 2008

This little guy... DID NOT like us. He showed us his teeth most of the time. He hissed at us. no friendly at all... we never did anything to him :0(

June 9, 2008

This monkey was hilarious. My brother is a locksmith. This little guy ran around and grabbed the lock on the cage and was pulling on it for all he was worth. But we didn't have the camera ready to take a picture. It would have been perfect to take back to the locksmith's shop and hang up. Oh, well... it was still funny.

June 8, 2008

This is a tank at the zoo. We went with my brother's, sister, cousin and his wife... we had fun. cool things to see.

I decided to only put a few on at a time.

I have been bad. I haven't been very good about keeping my blog up to date. I will do better. But I decided that I shoulded put to many on at once because you won't be able to see them all at once. I'm getting back into things after the hospital and mom being REALLY sick... and everything else. But things are settling down now. Just know I'm back. :0)

June 7, 2008

This is a cool scene above a house that we looked at today. Some tree ? and clouds.
