Strikes, Spares and Gutterballs….
On the same night as the wedding, Andrew proposed that we all go out bowling after the reception! Lucky for us, there was a bowling alley a few blocks away from our hotel and everyone was feeling like playing some games (shocking!! playing games and have a good time?!) the whole group included John, Annie, Andrew,…

Halloween at Los Rodriguez Mansion
This year was our first Halloween in our house and also the first Halloween getting trick or treaters! We were really excited to see some costumes and hear a few excited “Trick or Treats!!!” (which, by the way, they never ACTUALLY said…but we gave them candy anyway). Este ano fue nuestro primer Halloween en nuestra…

FFF (Forced Family Fun) at Dave and Busters!!
It was Friday night before our cousin Heather’s wedding and we needed to find something low key to do since the next day would be packed with fun activities. After the rehearsal dinner, we all decided to engage in a little of what Leslie’s parents call “forced family fun” – and Andrew (also our cousin…

Discovering Red Rocks Park
One of our must-do things in Denver was to go up to the mountains. Due to time constrains and important events already scheduled for our visit, we couldn’t take a long trip, so we had to find a place close to the city where I could see some real Colorado landscapes. We got a recommendation…

Moonlight Diner! Denver, CO
Our adventure in Denver started with the surprise early arrival of Leslie’s brother Ian the same night that we arrived.

Last week, two of our good friends Matt and Lauren got engaged and we were there to document the whole event. Matt told Javi to set aside a particular evening in October so that we could go to the Grand Ole Opry and photograph his proposal to Lauren during one of the songs. We were…

Hot Chicken…an acquired taste
Leslie and I have acquired a taste for different foods that we were not used to eating when we were younger. Sometimes we like to be just like kids that refuse to eat something…but then we try it and LOVE it! So recently we’ve fallen in love with hot chicken. We went from buffalo wings…

Walkway to Los Rodriguez Mansion!
The weather is nice outside and it feels good to work outdoors. Since I didn’t have a building project, I decided to start working on our home’s “curb appeal”. I trimmed some bushes, and actually took out a couple as well. We know we need to work on our landscaping but the most annoying thing…

Pooch Porches Lousiana swamp style!
DOG HOUSE CRASHERS! Los Rodriguez Life style! You probably read about our dog houses (If you missed them check them out here ) and how much fun we had building them and decorating them. But believe or not the dogs still haven’t used them very much. Even when it rains Chupete won’t use his –…

Artichokes – Alcachofas!
One of my favorite foods is artichokes. Here in the states they seem to be a very gourmet kind of food, but growing up I remember eating a lot of them (my mom knew I loved them so she spoiled me a little bit due to my skinny frame hahahah). I have seen artichokes here…

First time catching dinner! – Primera vez que pesco la cena!
Every time you pass a river in Tennessee you can see at least one or two fishing enthusiasts enjoying the outdoors. Actually, any place where there is some water and a possibility of catching fish you can see people hanging out with their fishing rods. I tried to fish in the past but never actually…

Finally we have a completed screened in front porch!!! It’s so great to have it finished, working great, and looking good too. In my first post about this DIY project “I Hate You Mosquitos Part I” I showed you the way I decided to install the screens. It was practically the same “technique” throughout the…

Our poor puppy….. / Nuestro pobre cachorro….
A few weeks ago, we noticed a little pink dot in Choripan’s chin. At the time it just looked like a pimple or a little scar, but as the week went on the little dot turned into a bigger dot, and more dots showed up around the lips. A week later …. our cute puppy…

We are back to the routine…the dogs not so much…
The summer is over and we are back to our regular routine. Leslie started classes this past Wednesday and I…well, I keep working (no more free summer for me). The summer went by sooo fast, but that is ok because we have plenty of things to look forward to. My family is coming to visit…

We are now internet advertising stars!
We always love to recommend the Village Pub to our friends and family since we discovered in our neighborhood. Leslie got to sing there (we made a post about it, check it out) a couple of times and we love to hang out in their porch with the dogs every once in a while. Siempre…
