It's July 21st Already?!?

Good Morning Y'all! I promise I haven't left my blog behind...it's just been a super busy month so far though, like I told y'all a couple weeks ago Lane is here for the month of July. :) We started off the month by celebrating 4th of July with a lot of Michael's family at Richland Chambers Lake for the weekend. I'm not a huge fan of fireworks for several reasons so I did my best to enjoy the firework show with included....a beer in my hand. Our 19 year old niece came and stayed the long weekend with us so she got to experience the great time I get to have with my in-laws. I mean my sister-in-law is my total bestie...it's so bad that Michael jokes that she would pick me over him if we were to ever go through the "D" word! 

Lane has also got to spend a few days in Fort Worth with my mom visiting majority of my family. My mom and I have had some issues recently but I am truly grateful that no matter what happens between us she is and always has been awesome to Lane and I can't ask for anything else. :) Anyways...Currently we are gearing up for our family of 3 Galveston Beach trip at the end of the week to go deep sea fishing...for sharks! I am so damn excited, maybe even more than the boys! Lane has been telling everybody that he just knows that I will be the one to catch a shark...just because I'm so effin afraid of them! I'll be posting everything on Instagram, wish me luck!

This month has already flown by...Its hard to believe we're already over half way through the month. But we enjoyed every minute of playing outside with the dogs, swimming with cousins, Lane getting a mohawk, playing on the trampoline with a sprinkler underneath, all of the fishing, shopping for Lane's first pair of football cleats, watching movies together as a family, going to town for the best snow cones on the planet, and cooking on the grill! 

 

P.S. Next week is my 1 year BLOG ANNIVERSARY! I can't even believe it's been a year! But I have truly enjoyed it so much! Be sure and check back for an awesome giveaway to celebrate me and my blog! :)

Blog Update

Hello Friends!

Happy Humpday to you y'all, there is only a few more days until it's the weekend. Which I am eagerly looking forward to, since we actually don't have anything going on until Mother's Day. I am not even kidding...no weddings, no baseball, no practices, no birthday parties. It's been over 3 months since we have had a appointment free weekend and this sista is ready to enjoy it! But we do have Mother's Day plans Sunday with Michael's mom and grandmother, which is always good with me...because. who the hell doesn't love homemade Mexican food!?! I won't be getting to spend Mother's Day with my own madre because she lives so far away, but I did drop her card in the mail Monday. 

What do you all lovely ladies have planned for your special day??

The Fuentes' house has had a couple changes recently that I haven't had a change to share with you guys. -No, I'm not preggo yet. Butttt, Michael put in for an awesome job opportunity a couple weeks ago and HE GOT IT! We are so excited, the company is amazing and the benefits are fantastic! Plus he gets a brand spankin' new Ford crew cab company truck that he gets to drive 24/7! And then to top it off...this mamacita is now a stay-at-homer! After driving 2 hours one way to work for 5 years, I am very relieved to be able to have time for anything especially time to focus on ME! Which I don't mean in a selfish or bitchy way, I just need to put some effort into myself instead of trying to take care of everybody else. I joined the gym last week, along with going over recipes and meal planning. After seeing pictures of myself at my sister's wedding and then this past weekend, I really need be in there!!! Michael and I have developed so many horrible eating habits over the years so I know it's going to take us working hard to break them. I am kinda anxious as well about not working because the last thing I want to do is get bored. So, if y'all have any suggestions on making the move from career woman to stay-at-homer, let me know! :)

Quick Weekend Recap:

My cousin's wedding was beautiful as expected, Lane danced with all the ladies.....as expected. :)

We spent the night downtown San Antonio on the Riverwalk, we left Sunday morning to head home. We couldn't go home without stopping at The Snake Farm in New Braunfels. Lane absolutely LOVED it! The snake part was not fun for me but all the rest of the farm was, I highly recommend! They have a section where you get to feed goats, pigs, ducks, and a llama! 

 

Bachelorette Madness

Hey there! I am somewhat behind on my weekend recap, so excuse the tardiness. As ya'll know I travelled to Austin for my sister's last party weekend as a single lady, which should explain why I still feel like I am dying.

Let's get right to it...

I drank more than most AA members consume in a lifetime and I took some really shitty photos.

The end.

The girls at Coyote Ugly Austin are better than the rest. :)



This is probably my favorite picture of the night, she couldn't even talk by the time we got back to the hotel sooo offfff course what kind of sister would I be if I didn't photograph it.



This is what your face looks like after you get drunk on 6th street.
Thank you, Austin.

Cute Kiddos and Drunk Selfies

Happy Friday!
We have been so damn busy lately that I have not had time to even try to think about sitting down to put together a post. 

For example...we have 2 basketball tournaments, a baseball tournament, 2 weddings, a bachelorette party, then a bachelor party and then Lane's birthday...and that's just the next few weeks. I feel more like a crazy person that usual, so please share the crazy pills.

Then to top off all my bitchin'...Texas weather has been just plain stupid lately, we have "cold fronts" or rain every couple days so my allergies are HORRIBLE right now, my head feels like it's the size of a fucking watermelon! Andddd the humidity is so high that my long curly hair looks like a

short and voluptuous, but legit afro.  

Ok. I'm done whining.

Moving on... 

Today I am linking up with Darci at The Good Life for Five on Friday to give ya'll a brief fly-by of my busy weekend/week!

{ONE}

This past weekend we drove 2 hours to Fort Worth for my niece Payton's volleyball game and her birthday party at the trampoline park. Then, we had her mama's/my sister-n-law's 40th birthday party. Overall...we had a BLAST!

Payton & Lane after her first volleyball game of the season.

{TWO}

After the game we had Payton's 8th birthday party at Altitude Trampoline park in Fort Worth. Even though it smelled like feet, it's an awesome place to take kids for them to burn off all that damn energy!   

I can't even handle how cute these kiddos are!!!
Aubree, Lane & Payton 

{THREE}

OK...after all the kid activities...everything went to shit, so around 7pm that night. :)

I know as a blogger you are suppose to post "good quality" pictures but I truly didn't have any....#blameitonthealcohol

Yep...Drunk Duck Face Selfies.

Does it get any worse, folks?!?

OK. You guys get the idea.

 The vodka made us think we could do just about anything.
{FOUR}

Moving on, this weekend I leave for Austin for my sister's bachelorette party. It will probably consist of other photos that look like the shit storm from above and the madness that takes place in Austin! :)

This is the shirt I ordered to wear this weekend...I'm super excited!

{FIVE}

After being returned from the first home I placed her in because her car sister hated her, Lexi has found an awesome home with an old classmate of mine who has 2 kids that will love her forever.

She was dumped at our rural home a few weeks ago so if I ever find the piece of shit that dumped this 2.9lb baby, I swear I will throat punch him or her as hard as I can! :)

Have a FABULOUS weekend!

Five On Friday

Happy Friday!!

This is first time in a longtime that I am linking up with the lovely Darci over at The Good Life, for Five on Friday.

{One}

Last night was Lane’s first junior high dance and the first time the hubs and I were able to help him get ready and take him to something like this. It was such a sweet moment for us. The best part for me was when he got home and told me all about the dance and what all girls he danced with. I swear I could of cried...

 

{Two}

Lately I have been obsessing over shoes, which is probably nothing new; it is just until now that I can acknowledge I have a problem. This week while drooling on my keyboard, I found these fabulous boots! I have always been so afraid to wear an ankle boot but these are so fantastic that I don’t even care if I look like a wannabe country hipster! Told you before I was a rebel!

 

{Third}

I put my 3 week notice in at work!!! Helllll to the Yesss! I guess I should go forward with the dream of auditioning for Real Housewives of Texas because I would be the ideal wife for the show! I am only missing the ridiculous amounts of dolla billz, a closet like Lisa Vanderpump’s and love for drama. But maybe they would make an exception.

{Four}

The joy that comes over me when I find long wine aisles with allll my favorite wines is the same feeling I had when I was 7 years old waking up on Christmas morning. -REAL TALK-

{Five}

My cousin’s fiancée was able to make the drive up to my sister’s bridal shower this past weekend and I just absolutely adore her! She is so much fun and fits in perfectly with our loud and outspokenfamily. I am so glad she is joining our family in May!

 

Highlights of our December

With me being M.I.A. lately, I figured I would do a little update since I posted nothing of our Christmas or the month December, for that matter.

Michael and his BIGGEST fan, Aubree! We get to their house and she asks Lane and I where is Michael...she could care lessss about if Lane and I even showed up. It's so funny how much she loves her Uncle Michael!

Payton, Lane & Aubree in their ugly sweaters for my side of the family's Christmas! If you have not been to a ugly sweater Christmas or party, you are most defiantly missing out. I feel like it's a must try for everyone, we had so much fun.

 

 

As you can tell, Lane has MAJORITY girl cousins on both sides of the family!

This was Christmas Day with Michael's family, the weather was beautiful all week here in Texas.

 

So my mom got an iPad for Christmas...you can probably see where this is going. After convincing my 18 year old niece who was completely drugged up from getting her wisdom teeth removed, to steal her iPad for a few minutes.

We left her some VERY flattering photos on her new fancy iPad, that she doesn't know how to work yet! Haha!

 

 

This was the beginning of December...shorts and t-shirts.

Welcome to Texas, folks.

 

 

Dodge ball in the house!!

 

First off, I look like a beached whale and the new trend of lace headbands looks darn right horrible and does nothing for my round face. I was not going to post it because of how ratchet I look but I had to show you how our ugly sweater Christmas went...if you notice my dog even had sweater on! Ha!

 

Michael and I went and spent Christmas morning with our niece Lilli since Lane was with his mom. We are so fortunate to get to see all our families have such a great Christmas!

 

 

 

 

No Longer MIA

Hey Hey!

Longtime no chat. 

I have been completely tied up lately and not in a good way.  I feel as though I should apologize but like a fellow blogger told me last week "Life Happens." and she was SO right. So I'm not gonna apologize for my blog being on the back burner the last couple weeks.  I love my blog but my family comes wayyy before anything else. I do feel as though I should explain myself a little because I don't want to come across as a phony and act though my life is all unicorns and rainbows. 

A couple weeks ago my small family unit and marriage were tested in a way that makes me even more thankful for the few awesome people I have in my life. My marriage will always be something I consider a accomplishment so I'm definitely not one of those people who think marriage is easy or something that doesn't take love, hard work, patiences, compromise and forgiveness. My family and I are moving forward from the last couple weeks and look forward to our futures. But in the meantime I'm looking forward to catching up with the followers of my blog! 

Thanks for being AWESOME! :) 

Weekend Rewind

Hey! Hey!
I know I'm probably breaking all sorts of blogger rules by not posting about my weekend on Sunday or Monday but I like to break the rules because I'm different.

Yeah, I'm Different. 

**Please reference 2 Chainz if you are confused**

Anywaysss, we had several things on the agenda this weekend but like always we try to squeeze 108 things 1 day. I don't know why we do that to ourselves, I should probably check with the scheduler about that crap. But we did get a few things accomplished, seeing my niece's playoff game from her first year of 8U volleyball was at the top of my list. We woke up at 6AM on Saturday, and drove 2 hours to get to the gym by 9. If that doesn't nominate us for Aunt & Uncle of the year, I don't know what will!!? Payton was so excited to see us both, which made getting up early on a Saturday more than worth it! Payton is my sweet, innocent, wouldn't hurt a fly, girly-girl so when she became so focused, serious and aggressive during the game, I was totally shocked and proud. The hubs and I (JL was with his mom, but we sent him pictures) got to see 2 games on Saturday and spend some time with my brother and sister-n-law and of course Payton.



 

 

 



 

 

After the games, we grabbed lunch and had to run some errands around Fort Worth before heading home that evening. I received a text  on our way home from a sweet friend about them being in town and for us to come out to their camphouse. (A "camphouse" is also known as a deer camp, hunting lodge, deer lease.) We haven't got to see them or their kids in over 6 months, so we decided we had to go visit. For me, when all together there is not alot of things better than a camphouse, good friends, vodka/cranberry and good music. :)

We had such a great time!
