A couple of weeks ago Mom and I went to Loraine for Xander's birthday party. It's hard to believe he's already two years old! We all had a great time visiting, eating hot dogs and watching the little boys play.

August 20th is fast approaching...and I just keep growing and growing! This past Monday, I had a doctor's appointment and he said that our little Aurora already weighs more than 5 lbs! Ulisses thinks the baby will be born pretty close to her due date...I feel she could come earlier than that....guess we'll see!

Happy Birthday, Adrianna!

I had such a great time, and was touched by the sweetness of everyone there. Lupita and Jessica, my awesome friends were there and drove a distance to be there...as did others like Jennifer and my sister-n-law Lisset and girls. I had such a wonderful time...thanks to everyone who played a role in my special day. I love yall!

This was the third summer I taught Spanish through the wonderful program Upward Bound. These are kids that will be the first in their families to attend college after high school. They make good grades and show effort throughout the regular school year and are selected to participate in the grant program. The kids live in the Odessa College dorms and attend four weeks of classes that is topped of with an Awards Banquet. This year was as fun as ever...my advanced bunch did a song and dance routine to "Buenos Dias Senor Sol" by Juan Gabriel at the banquet and my first year kids did a puppet show in Spanish...they did a great job. I really enjoyed having them and plan on being apart of Upward Bound for many years to come.
