The Chase

After a week of nothing but gloomy rainy weather,  the sun finally decided to make an appearance. Sunday started off a little gray, but as the day went on, I just couldn't stay inside anymore! People were barbecuing outside, kids playing. So Calvin ran outside for a while. 
David was determined to get a good shot of Calvin and Cal just did everything he could to make ruin every shot. He would run away or turn his face right as David pushed the button. 

As you can see, yesterday afternoon, the camera was pretty much just an extension of David's face.





Just a little glimpse of our growing garden!

It Tastes Good!

I'm not sure what this dish is called.

But my Madre makes it all the time! It's SUPER easy to make. It usually only takes me about 30 minutes to make. 

What you'll need: 
Bacon (cut up into small bits)
Onion (I only use just a little bit, you can use however much you want)
A pinch of garlic powder
Heavy whipping cream
Can of peas
Can of mushrooms
Parsley
Salt to taste.

In a sauce pan, on medium to high heat, throw in the bacon until cooked
then brown your onions in the bacon fat. When the onions are transparent,
add the whipping cream (as much as needed). Here, you season with salt 
and garlic powder (careful not to go too crazy with the salt.. it can get too salty
really quick). Add mushrooms, peas, and parsley. 
If you want your sauce a little thicker, add flour & stir.
To thin, add milk. 

And Voila! Ladle it onto your favorite pasta and done.

Angie's Corner

My corner of the room.
Don't know why I like the way it looks this morning.
I just had to take some pictures!

 My little floating bookshelf with my favorite books.
The History of Love, 
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 
The Little Prince, 
My tarot cards, and favorite elephants.

Old CD case, Yoga Mat, Scriptures

Jewelry box I got from my best friend, Kiersten, when I turned 16, 
The Shins sticker,  Elephant cuff, 
Paint thingy (brain fart, what are these things called??), Thrifted owl mug

Watercolor paper, Cell, Book I'm in the middle of reading, Thrifted Tea pot, 
and small tea cup from my Melanie Leslie.

Reading lamp that also serves as a place to put my headbands. 

My Calvin and Me

Usually I'm the one taking pictures for blogging purposes.

Finally, Cal and I had a moment where we just relaxed a little bit to watch some Toy Story. I can probably quote you most of these movies (by "these", I mean ALL THREE Toy Story movies) but as long as I'm watching them with Calvin, it really doesn't matter to me how many times I've seen them.


On a different note, that right there is my favorite
dress in the world. I've not been able to find 
another one like it!

Only For A Limited Time

We've been slowly trying to introduce Calvin to the toilet in an effort to make him more comfortable with eventually going numbers 1 and 2 in the toilet instead of inside his diapers.
Here we have a small video of Calvin sitting on the potty and reading one of his books. I don't know why we thought this was so hilarious.

Now, this video will not be spending a whole lot of time on this blog since Cal is pretty naked. It will be deleted after a few days. Basically, the video is only up for my dad and grandma who are currently in other countries.

I love his naked cuteness.
THIS KID! I love him. So much.

Taking The Wheel



My guess is he'll need at least 4 or 5 phone books under this kid to see through the windshield.

Deejay Francis Zumba Master Class!


Saturday, my sisters and I got to attend a Zumba Master class with Beto Perez' Zumba DJ!
DEEJAY FRANCIS!
I am not totally sure how many people were there, but it was packed! I got whacked in the face a few times by a few enthusiastic Zumba lovers, but the energy was great and the music was fantastic. It was a theater full of people in neon clothes who love Zumba as much as we do! 





Deejay Francis!

Check out those guns.

Just us and the wonderful Lindsey Taylor

Me & my Zumba ladies!

Deejay Francis!!

Show Me Your Teeth

Is this the cutest face or what?
Okay, so he's got a lot of cute faces...
But this one is definitely one of my new favorites.


↑ The ONE time he reacted when I asked him to smile. ↑


And Calvin pouting that I laughed at his cuteness.
Here he is trying to escape the camera in the corner.
No such luck, little man.
