East meets West

I am thinking maybe we should teach Julian to dance "like that!"

Self Motivation

I saw this video clip over on Angelina's blog of a little girls technique of self motivation. You should give it a try sometime esp if you feel like quitting.

Ange I hope you don't mind I borrowed the video without asking first, it's for the benefit of the world. Ha!

San Bartolome Day #5

Today was another great day in the village. We took the kids today and they all had a blast. It was nice for me to see Adrian and Jade interacting with the other kids and constantly asking me how to say different things in Spanish. They each made new friends and were able to help and participate in the different activities.

Sea World with Adrian and Jade

Today the kids and I went to Sea World. We had a blast, saw some shows and rode some rides and toured the aquariums and animal exhibits. Here are the visuals.

Adrian riding the "Rio Loco" Jade was too small for this ride so Adrian found a couple of nice ladies to team up with and take him on the ride. He's such a charmer!

Introducing.... Eli Rucker

Eli is the brother right above me in age. He is a great guy! Fun, intelligent, friendly and a favorite uncle to my kids, this guy is also a great cook. I have been spending the past couple days with him resting up from coming off the road. This evening he had some friends over and we BBQued his famous "Pork Chop Rolls" I am posting his "how to" video on how to make them along with some photos. Hope you enjoy. If any of you try this recipe leave a comment as to how you liked it. I know he would appreciate it!
