Mother's Day

Playing Dress Up
How many times can a mom tell her child to stop pickin in one day?
Aww my babies are sooo cute!
Isn't John such a pretty princess!
John decided to customize a shirt for me this mother's day.

My BBQn' Man

John definitely has a gift for making the most deliciously delectable meat, just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The man is serious about his BBQ! Some of his delicacies include a killer brisket, smoked meatloaf, ribs, pulled pork, moink balls (meatballs wrapped in bacon, rolled in a special rub and then smoked to perfection), and beans. Oh and not to mention he makes all his own sauces and rubs.  I've never been a big meat eater but DANG this boy can smoke it up!

Cinco de Mayo Fire

 Forseys, who we gonna burn stuff with when you're gone?

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Nothing brings a smile faster to my face than when Nanna asks to hold my hand. Ahh the small and simple things are what make life wonderful!

* I am having way to much fun with THIS application! I want the real deal!

The Gift Of Gab

This conversation took place while checking out at the grocery store:

Ashlyn: (to the cashier) Hello Lady, how are you?
Cashier: I'm good, what is your name?
Ashlyn: My name is Ashlyn Nicole Perkes and I am a daughter. This is my mother Kellie Nicole Perkes, she's kinda like me. And this is my sister Nanna Bean Perkes. She has blue eyes and blond hair and is really silly! My dad is working and at school, his name is Bumpy Perkes. Oh and we're going to grandmas today to eat some french fries and lemonade and watch Pinocchio. Hey lady will you give me my apple juice, I'm thirsty. I'm going to play at the park with Wormy, Madeline, Sandy and Nanna. We are going to have lots of fun. Did you know that I'm Ariel?
Cashier: Oh wow!


Yes, she is just a little bit like her momma.

School Stress

Yes it's that time again when professors everywhere load their ever so stressed students with unnecessary busy work! Due to this fact I am taking a little bloggie break (really only two weeks). Soon I will be FREE and ready to blog my summer away!

New Look

I have always been a little obsessed with vintage Mexican posters and Mexican calendar girl art. Perhaps it's the bright, bold colors, or perhaps it's the Latina in me. Anyhow this was my inspiration for my new blog look. Hope you enjoy!
