I recently turned 25 and my husband got me an ipod for my birthday. I've never really been a technology freak, I could care less if I had the newest computer of phone or whatever. But I do have to say that having an ipod touch is AWESOME. I am obsessed with all the photo editing applications.
I am so surprised on how quickly you can edit a picture. I used to visit my father [ a graphic designer ] at work and I would watch how long it took him to add these little crappy things to a picture, to crop it, to layer it etc... and now I can push a button on my hand held machine and choose from 20 thousand filters and have the hipster-est picture ever.
Apple...you just won my heart again.
There is an app that allows you to add mustaches to your pictures, so I made it my goal to mustache anything or anyone who's willing to stand in front of my ipod. here's a little preview.
They came to visit for 3 weeks and I cannot believe how much you can love someone so tiny. she is so innocent and full of energy and imagination that you cannot stop looking at her.
We would watch her for hours like dorks. She would just laugh and squeak and order more food. Everything was MAS.
Lucia I love you with all of my heart. I miss you like crazy. You make my days so much brighter and happier and complete.
I cannot wait until I see you again and teach you all the sneaky things I know. Be safe lucy, be good.
This is Natalia a.k.a Tala Devil. She is my husband's niece and the youngest of her family. She has 2 older brothers whom she loves to imitate and follow around.
I'll leave her personality up to your imagination.
This is Rosendo a.k.a Dito. He's my mothers brother.He is the funnest person I know. He is the life of the party everytime. I've been told that when they were younger everyone would wait and ask for him because he was so much fun. One time they were coming out of Hussong's and some kids were picking a fight with one of our cousins and when they were about to kill him, my uncle jumped into the middle of the circle and started to do some serious Bruce Lee noises and kicks and jumping around in circles. The bullies were so "what da fuck" that they just stared and stared.
Everyone remembers that fight except for him, that's just the way he is. CRAZY. I adore him.
He is the chillest baby I have ever met. He is only 2 years old and runs around from group of people to group of people making sure everyone is still there.
he only cries when he seriously hits himself or gets food taken away from him. he has his own language.
this is him talking. literally.
DAVO: "amiamiamianiadiloamiamiamiguayi"
[guayi is his brother]
he adds the common words { guayi, papa, mama, annie, agua, mas } to every one of his sentences.he is NEVER misunderstood.
emilio my love, even though you are a pain in the ass, I can only be mad at you for 5 seconds until you do something hilarious like attack a stain on the wall.
this is my husband's sister. my sister in law. she is the mother of the 3 craziest and most adorable kids ever. i respect her patience.

This is Aldo a.k.a chinese chicken. He is another of my husbands nephews. Son of his oldest sister.
He is my husbands number one fan and a perfect clone even though neither of them will admit it.
He is the best care taker for Emilio. He knows EVERYTHING, just like hubbie.
He is the cutest DRAMA QUEEN just like hubbie.
He has BAMBI EYES just like hubbie.
This is Ivan a.k.a shark tooth.
This is Tala Devil's older brother.
This is the sweetest and most polite 5th grader in the world.
He says my eggs with bologne in the morning are the best eggs he has ever tried in his life. [ I suck at cooking, but he makes me feel good ]
I can hug him all day.
He's not a hugger.
But, he calls his mom at 7pm if she is not home and asks her to please come tuck him in.
Who can resist that.
Rolando a.k.a Roly a.k.a Chile Guero
He is Ivan's younger brother and Tala's older brother.
He is just something else.
You can't really explain how adorable he is and how crazy he is.

Biko.Biko.Biko.
This is Lucia's older brother.
he is in that age where no one can touch him or feed him or hug him or anything.
he yells all the time.
he cries for everything.
but for a few minutes of the day he looks at you with these adorable eyes and tells you that he loves you in the sweetest voice you have ever heard and you forget why he drives you crazy.

Alyssa take one.
Alyssa is my brother in law's daughter. Their first kid.
I think her little smile says a thousand words.
This is her everyday.
How can you not love this?
this seems like a picture of Emilio's dad. but it's not. it's just the cat from hell again.

Leolo is dito's dog. He's had him since before Mateo was born. He takes care of my grandparents house.
He is LOYAL as FUCK.
