On July 24th the newest member to our Family was Born Her name is Madelyn Rose. She is born 3 weeks early but she very healthy and as beautiful as can be.....Traci had to have a emergency c-section due to high blood pressure but she doing great and they are both at home now. As soon as I found out I took a trip out there to help out in anyway I could we were so excited! (me and the boys)...I always enjoy when I visit my brother and Traci and Ray Ray its never a dull moment! WELCOME Miss Madelyn Rose!!!!

.

I think she favors Ray. Well I stayed the weekend and helped and took care of Ray Ray the boys had a great time they always like going to uncle Rays house! On Saturday Licia came down and we went to see Traci and Madeyn Rose after our visit we went back to the house and Ray bought Steaks and we had a celebration dinner he also made this really good pasta salad and Licia made the mash potato's.....On Sunday Traci and Madelyn came home and I had to leave before they got there but I'll be back!.........It was wonderful beautiful moment in time!

The Dark Knight

Today I took my son to go see this incredible movie The dark Knight. Now I won't spoil it for anyone but this was an excellent well acted movie by everyone in it. I recommend and I would give 5 stars. Its very well written and directed and the action parts were amazing. Heath Ledgers part as the joker was phenomenal. I remember when I first seen Batman with Jack Nicholson I thought and think he was brilliant in that part and when I heard that someone new was doing the joker I remember thinking "No Way" No one could top Jacks part but I must say I was wrong and I'm not going to say one was better than the other but I can say this they were both brilliant in there own way! I feel like wow you know like I can't wait til the next one and sad thing is his accidental death (Heath Ledger) but I am going to agree with what I have heard he does deserve to be nominated for best actor and to win it!

Hey Everyone Thanks to my beautiful Aunt Angie who shared these pics of my mom with me. I must say looking at her takes my breath away and all the love in the world cannot compare to the love in my heart for my Mom........LizaBeth

Mom and Santa?

Ooops I thought that was a Santa suit. Anyways this is a special picture because it brings backs a whole lot of memories of what I remember most when she took pictures and the goofy looks she would make . Even if she wasn't taking a picture this is just one of the little things that last a lifetime and bring smiles

Wow...Beautiful

Wow!! How beautiful is this woman! Simply breath taking, and she always did catch an eye or two........

Cuen Family Reunion:Alum Rock Park 7/12/2008

On July 12 this past Saturday, I attended my family reunion on my moms side of the family. I along with my son Gabriel, daughter Rachel and grandon Evan went to Alum Rock Park. We weren't sure it was going to happen there with all the fires that have been happening around us lately but the weather cooled down some what to the low 80's so all was a go.At first I wasn't sure of anyone else would be coming from my immediate family but I'm pleased to say that 5 out 8 of moms kids were able to make it. It really was a wonderful day The kids brought their water guns and we bbq'd . There were contests and just a whole lot of aunts and uncles and lots lots of cousins. We all had fun catching up and just hanging out it was a Great Day!
