Happy Halloweenie!

 Wishing you a frightfully exciting Halloween. May you enjoy all the Kit-Kat's and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups you can swindle from your children or, in my case, from your own serving dish. Please tell me I'm not the only one who eats from their own candy dish (having saved their favorites of course). Next year, I'm only buying candy I dislike. Like Tootsie Rolls.

The good news is that I'm totally prepared for tonight's trick-or-treaters-- The good and the bad. Yes, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve for those who don't say thank you, or bother to wear a costume. After years of handing out candy I think I finally qualify as a Halloween handout expert. Gone are the days when I watched in horror as little ruffians scooped oversized handfuls of premium candy from my basket without so much as a “Boo,” for good measure. These days, I call the shots. 

Last Year's Halloween Party

Saturday night Halloween party at the Bell's home was so much fun. Elvis Presley dropped in and surprised everyone by singing for us throughout the party night. Believe it or not I did not take many pictures of the party. I had such a great time from the moment it started till it ended. I was so involved with dancing, drinking and wonderful conversations I didn't even bother to pick up my camera and take pictures. Sorry folks. But do enjoy the few that I posted here.  

George & Mary Bell  

The guy was dressed as  "One Night Stand" there were condoms, lubricant & Kleenex on the table.

ISN'T IT GREAT TO KNOW WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE?

(Thanks Jody)

I've been Tagged!

Yikes! I've been tagged by Jody. Thanks Jody! 

The idea is to say six random things about yourself, I'm doing 7 just because I hate the number 6 and I love to break rules at times.  So let's see what I can come up with.

The rules are pretty simple:

1. Write 6 random facts about yourself. 

2. Tag 6 bloggy friends 

3. Post a comment on their blogs to let them know 

• 1. I am obsessed with one day owning a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. 

• 2. I have a tattoo where you ask? On my right side of my behind. What kind of tattoo you ask? It's a heart and it reads Tica meaning (Costa Rican Girl)

• 3. I have to fall asleep facing the wall- it doesn't matter what side of the bed I'm on, I have to be facing out.

• 4. I could spend a Thousand dollars gambling in Las Vegas in one day and not think twice about it, But to buy simple stuff I like, I really have to think twice about.

• 5. I absolutely love doing laundry. Best chore ever, seriously. Sometimes I want everyone to change their clothes just so I can start the washer.

• 6. I love to cook, and I love to bake even more! But I do not love doing the dishes afterwards, so sometimes I don’t make certain things because I imagine the mess it will create and don't want to deal with it. 

• 7. I love to put hot stuff in everything I eat!!! Chips and salsa are one of my favorite things to eat. I just cannot get enough of it.

So, I am going to tag the following people. Don’t feel you need to reply - it’s just a bit of fun. I tag Jennifer? Maybe Kristi would be up for it? How about you Selina? And I know how busy you are Cheryl, but you might take a few minutes out for it? and what about you, Lesa? And how can I forget my Blog reader from the Philippines, Louann.

What Kind of Blogger Are You?

I took the Blogger test and this is what it said about my Blogging. It's pretty right on the money. Try it yourself.

You Are a Life Blogger!

Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary. If it happens, you blog it. And you make it as entertaining as possible. You may be guilty of over-sharing a bit on your blog, but you can't help it. Your life is truly an open book. Or in this case, an open blog!

What Kind of Blogger Are You?

Bill you Rock!

Rudy got me hooked on " The O'Reilly Factor " When I found out that Bill O'Reilly was going to be on the show, I had to watch! 

Someone gave The View (or is it the One View?) gals a little of their own medicine! Thanks Bill!  

Bill is a refreshing, articulate man, and I am so happy to see him handle himself with humor and dignity with the idiot Joy. Watching Joy twitch & fluff her hairs at his remarks is priceless. Joy is just another liberal who is clueless about government. 

• Walters needs to be retired, her edge is long gone. Joy? washed up comic who seems sour about life, the other two need to move on to something better while they still have a chance…as for whoopie goldberg, her producers on the view need to put a muzzle on her, that barking she does is really ugly.
• Joy- Stop interviewing Republican; you look like an idiot!!
• Oh and by the way, Bill O’Reilly has just signed a deal to renew his contract with Fox News Channel reportedly for four years and worth $10 million to $12 million a year.

Getting Ready For The Halloween Party!

This years Annual Pirate Theme Halloween Party will be held at the Bells Home. I had so much fun with my Mary Bell preparing for the Big event and taking lot's of pictures. There were Pirates everywhere I turned. There's  so much to do it overwhelmed us, We worked and took many breaks to chat and laughed  at Tinker Bell, Mary Bell's dog as she chased spider webs around and barked at the pirates. 

This is our last years Pirate map I made for our life group (Bible 

Study) Halloween carnival booth. We won first place

Her name is Le-A

Okay this was so Weird but Funny. This morning I went to Walmart to return a couple of bags of Halloween candy. As I walked in I was greeted by Walmart's door greeter Le-A, In return I greeted her back and said her name.

• Me: Well good morning to you to "Lea!"
• Le-A: UM DO YOU SEE MY BADGE? ( she pointed to her badge )
• Me: Yes why?
• Le-A: TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE ( still pointing to her badge )
• Me: Your name "LEA"
• LE-A: GIRL NO NO READ IT AGAIN! ( she looked pretty mad )
• Me: L-E-A Lea
• Le-A: GIRL DO I NEED TO SPELL IT OUT TO YOU!
• Me: Okay

Before I tell you what she said look at the Badge below and read her name out loud.. ( not the actual badge Ha!)

The Honey Do List

This is me doing the happy dance. I cracked the whip on the hubby this weekend and I was able to mark not ONE not TWO not THREE  but F-O-U-R  Things off my "Honey Do List"  

I don't know what got into my man this weekend I'm sure it was the cracking of the mighty whip Ha. I know it wasn't through the power of Prayer, I hope GOD wasn't listening when I question Rudy why things were not getting done as fast as I wanted them. Yikes.....

Having Some Fun Girly Time

My friend Cheryl came over yesterday. We had so much fun laughing out loud to the most silliest video's on the net, And finally I was able to teach her how to add stuff on Her Blog and guide her through many questions she had about Blogging. Everybody that comes to my house I like to Photobooth them . See for yourself . It was a fun day. Thanks Cheryl

Another AuntieNorma Production

First of all I would like to thank my Hubby Rudy for finally downloading all the video footage from our video camera to my computer...MUAH!

With all the time I have on my hands I am able to make many home video of my three favorite little stars Kiran, Haydan and Miss Presley. Here are just a few I made. Enjoy

Potty Time

Gosh there are times I miss hearing Presley's sweet voice telling the world she has to go Pee pee and all the Drama that follows along when she has to go!

See and hear for yourself.

Chatting with the Triplets

Many of you know What a nut I am with my video camera if I could mount it on top of my forehead I would for the sake of a great video moment. With Triplets in the car it was always a great opportunity to capture some of the best conversations with them. You just never know what comes out of the mouths of babes. On our way home from the beach I was chatting with the triplets about boyfriend/girlfriend stuff just to see who they liked at that moment and this is what I got. ( Jon was at the wheel this time so I was able to turn my body around to video the sweet tike's)

Goodbye Beloved Tree

A few weeks ago this is what we woke up to. Our big beautiful Tree broke in half. I remember the first day the city planted this tree. When we called the city to let them know our tree fell they came immediately and cut it down to it's roots. I don't know who was more sadden by the sight of our beloved tree Jon or I. I blame the city's budget cuts for not having enough tree trimmers to cut our city trees. It had gotten so big and heavy the poor tree could not support it's weight... 

My JonJon

Thanks Jon for allowing me to post your video so that I can share with the world how awesome you are. You Rock Son!!!

Last month Jon and his band NEXTDOOR went to a Recording Studio in LA to do some Rough Tracks which means: (A demo version of a songs that is used for reference rather than for release. A demo is a way for musicians to approximate their ideas on tape and provide an example of those ideas to record labels, producers or other artists. Musicians often use demos as quick sketches to share with bandmates in hopes of having the song professionally recorded) This new CD will hopefully come out sometime in December.

What can I say about my son Jon who has so many talents. Jon is also a great Photographer check out his Flickr site Click Here I am so full of pride for both my boys they are such good well behaved young men and Mama loves them so much. Um and so does Dad. Ha

Time for some of my Favorite Pictures

Here are just a few of my favorite pictures. I''ll post more pic later. I don't want to overwhelm you with tons of my many pictures I took of the Weydemuller Triplets..

Is it snowing yet?

As I was getting the Triplet's ready to go back home to Colorado, They asked me if I was going with them . My heart broke as I explained to them that only the Triplets will be going with their Papa. They didn't quite understand why? So I kind of told them that Auntie needs to stay in California until it starts snowing in Colorado. I made a Promise to the Triplets right before they left and told them "When it's start snowing, Auntie Norma will be on the first plane to Colorado. When I call the Triplets just about everyday I ask them:

• Auntie: Is it snowing yet?
• Triplets: No not yet Auntie
• Auntie: Do you remember what you have to do when the snow starts falling down
• Triplets" CALL OUR AUNTIE"

I've got my bag packed and ready to go! You would think I was having a baby soon. Ha!

No more Bear

Bear our sweet Bear is no longer with us. When the Triplets arrived they were so excited to see Bear again and Bear was excited to see them. I knew I had to give him away to a good home sooner or later. Bear had a real bad habit of peeing everywhere. He was no longer allowed in the house because he ruined 4 large area rugs and our family room had already been steam cleaned twice by professionals and I was not about to spend more money. I have no patience to train bear so, Bear was giving away to our neighbor just two houses down the street. The hard part about giving our doggie away is hearing his sweet bark once in a while and knowing how much our boys really loved this dog.

Look Ma No Hands! Oh My!

Oh My I wasn't to sure I should post this video but the spontaneous side of me said do it!!! PAT & ANGELA PLEASE don't yell at me!

As I go driving about town I love to sing and move my arm around like a crazy woman to my favorite tunes. Well on this day I don't know what the Hell I was thinking.... and call me crazy but I love to put our video camera on the car dashboard because I always have the best conversations with the Triplets in the car and decided I need to capture it on video. As I was going thru the videos I was so shocked to see how careless I was driving and with four of the most precious gifts in the car my son Cory, Kieran, Haydan & Presley! I didn't realize how dangerous this was. YIKES! So I am putting myself out there for the world to see my mistake and not do this.

To Blog or Not to Blog?

Holy Cow look Ma I'm back to Blogging! I have received so many E-mails and phone calls from many of my avid Blog readers wondering if I was ever going to Blog again. So much has happen (good stuff) since my last post that it became to overwhelming for me to get back to Blogging. Many beautiful pictures along with stories to share with you started to pile up in my mind that I just gave up.

You see since my last post back in August 14th to be exact. Rudy and I were in Colorado visiting the Weydemullers.

One August 16th Rudy and I had the honor of bringing back home Three special little packages. Kieran, Haydan and Presley for a whole month. I decided NOT to blog so I can dedicate all my time for them and since blogging consumed alot of my time I had no choice but to let it go. It was the most challenging job I had ever had especially when two out of three became sick with the Flu virus. It was unbelievable exhaustion for Rudy and I. Lack of sleep was killing us. Every single minute with my sweet Triplets was a blessing from God. No matter how exhausting the days became I always thank GOD every night for allowing us to care and watch over these precious children. Every morning as tired as my body was getting I would look forward to waking up to morning kisses and hugs from the Triplets and tucking them in for bed at night as I told them their favorite "Once upon a time stories".

On September 15 Papa Patrick took them all back to Colorado. My heart also went with them. Gosh I miss them.

As soon as the Triplets left, My body gave out on me. I became sick with some kind of flu like virus. and had no energy. I guess my body went into some kind of shock when it became idle. Ha!

Thanks to my sister Angela who finally with her daily reminder to Please start Blogging again, I decide to give it another go! But for some reason or another I am now wondering if I should keep on blogging but as I look at the pictures of my wonderful family I know I should blog.

I'm still alive!

Auntie Norma & Presley Uncle Rudy, Auntie Norma and the trip in Denver in front of the state capital building Uncle Rudy, Auntie Norma and the triplets "resting" while at Disney's California Adventure Park Hey there all you Auntie Norma Fan, it's Angela Norma's sister. I decided to post one of Norma's drafts just so we can see somthing new on her blog. I am not good at this blog stuff, so posting for her will be sure to get her fired up again!!! Have a great day!
