Kickin' It Old School

So the other day Cangrejo and I went to my Grama's house to help her clean her garage.  We're kind of using it as storage for the stuff we don't have room for/don't need while we're living in my parents basement, so we figure it's only fair that we keep our shit organized.  So Grama and I started going through pictures :)  I love me some old pictures.  I don't know why but I love hearing stories about 'the olden days' and about when my Grama was little and stuff like that.  I'm a sucker for that shit.  ANYWAY we found some pretty darn interesting pictures.

This is a baby picture of MY MAMA!  It looks like Isabel's long lost twin, right?!

Here's the pic a little bit closer

 You can't see the little kids faces really, but it's my Grama Bonnie, her brother (can't remember his name) and her sister Mae sitting on the car that her family had in front of the house that they lived in during the depression.  This is somewhere in Colorado.

And what kind of post would this be without a picture of ME!  This is me (about a year old I think) with my brothers Mike (in the back) and Vic (next to me).  I think Vic would have been about 14 in this picture and Mike was 13.  Their sweaters are fabulous.  So are their glasses.  Let me tell you how different my 2 older brothers are!  There's an endless list of their differences, for example, Mike would probably KILL ME if he knew I was putting this on the internet for the world to see ;)  Vic probably wouldn't care.  But they love me (they show it in COMPLETELY different ways) appx 2-3 years after this picture was taken they bought me my first bike :)  It was purple and white with flowers.

Photo time!

This post came out longer than expected.  I probably should have split it into 2 posts, but I'm feeling abnoxious sooo.......here we go.

So I realize I never posted anything about Jenny's quinceñera.....probably because like, 3 days after we took of for Colorado and then ended up in Texas for a while.  SO I don't really feel like writing a bunch about something that happened so long ago, but I'm going to post some pictures because, um, hi, we looked fabulous.

My beautiful babies ♥

I realize I'm standing funny but, like I said, fabulous. . . . .except for the weird tan lines.

This is Jenny's brother and Cangrejo's friend from El Salvador..........okay, and my ex, but we won't get into that today.

Sha-zam!

Last week we drove 3 hours to go to a family picnic with my grama at the assisted living place that she lives at.  We took pictures.

Due to the attractiveness of this photo, I've decided to take up cigar smoking.  Or even just letting an unlit one hanging out of my mouth.  I think it will be cheaper that way.

And then Isabel started being all sorts of adorable.

And playing peek-a-boo.

And some other cute stuff.

And some more.

Awww hugging her daddy ♥

And they fell asleep on the way home :)

Big smiles :)

Oh, and my dad gave Cangrejo Twizzler titties when he fell asleep hahaha.

The time I was attacked by a vicious sea creature

Ladies and gentlemen, it's freaking hot in Texas.  SO we went to the lake.  There weren't that many people there because IT'S SO FREAKING HOT and there's a little bit of a warning out to stay inside.....cause it's freaking hot.

I'm kind of a wimp, people.  I LOVE the water, but I have serious issues with fish, plants, and really any kind of underwater life.  I can go to Bear Lake because the water is semi-clear, and I can see what's going on and stuff like that.  The water in Cooper Lake, is not so clear.  Like, if you're standing in the water up to your thighs, you can't see your knees.  They finally convinced me to wade in a little and I was standing there and something brushed against my leg...........let me make sure you understand.........I was standing in murky, gross water and SOMETHING TOUCHED MY LEG!!!  You better believe I was out of that water in about 0.3 seconds (which was hard because I was wearing flip flops and it's hard to run in deep water with flip flops.  Duh.)  For real, people, I almost shit myself.

Anyways, after Isabel had her fun in the water with Cangrejo I was holding her and it took her about 30 seconds to start snoring on my shoulder so we went to the picnic area.  I ate a butt load of Cheetos and I don't feel guilty at all.  Now we're back at the house.  Isabel and Cangrejo are sound asleep, so I think I'm going to start packing up our stuff so we can take off early tomorrow morning.  We want to leave here at about 6 AM at the latest.  The plan is to drive about half way home tomorrow (about 12 hours) and then find a hotel and drive the rest of the way on Tuesday.  I'd like to get 14 or 15 hours in tomorrow and get us that much closer but we'll have to see how Isabel is doing and how tired we are.

Haha, Cangrejo threatened me not to put this on Facebook.  So I'm blogging it, instead.

He's so cool.

She was exhausted.

I wore sunscreen, people.
