Arielle and Danny Turn One

And so just like that Arielle turned one. I remember as if it was yesterday we were going to Tucson as Michelle told us she was ready. Time do fly and it doesn't ask for permission. Her fiesta was pretty nice, pretty much all the family attended and she got a lot of presents. A Dora themed jumpy was rented by her nino and some chairs and tables too. Typical to Mexican families we had the party in the front yard away from the swimming pool. There were just too many little ones and the water isn't even warm yet so we didn't want to be jumping in after the little ones.

The cake was most excellent, I don't have pictures yet but I may add some later on. My daughter in law's mom bakes the best cakes. Last week she did the pirate theme for Diego, this week it was a colorful cake with a separate little cake just for her in the shape of a teddy bear. The frosting was all pink with a second tier cake in the shape of a yellow butterfly. Instead of sugar she uses Splenda and low fat low sugar frosting. I am not a cake eater but hers are really so good that I may eat a slice or two.

My brother's baby also turns one year old today, his party was on Saturday. I tell ya they just never end, even skipping some of the parties there are still so many birthdays and when you are about to hit the big 5-0 kids parties get harder and harder to attend. So far we still make an appearance in most of them but we will let the younger generations have a ball at this fiestas while us grown ups can stay home and enjoy some much needed peace and tranquility.

So You Think You Can Dance

What a terrific season it has been for "So You Think You Can Dance". The dancers shone all season long, and it will be a matter of who has more fans. Now six dancers remain with two more leaving on Monday.


I like them all but I think that Pasha and Lauren will be the ones leaving. Again more than anything they will leave based on popularity more than their ability to perform. Danny is a great dancer but has come across as being to over confident which is why he was bottom two a couple of times.


That leaves Sabra, which to date has been the most consistent of the girls and Lacey which in my opinion is the most liked. I don't know if America wants brother and sister to hold the crown but I certainly do. She is one hot dancer and consistently gave us good performances time and time again.


Should America decide we need another guy as a champion then I hope it will be Neil. This guy is amazing and has proven to be worthy of the title. The judges have been hard on him more than once but so far they have not been able to fool America. He is still alive and I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the title. Well at least that's the way I would like it to go.

For now we wait until Monday night to see who goes on to the final.
