Red Macaw

 Akesha got a chance to feed this cutie perched at San Antonio Zoo. At first she was hesitant and scared. But once she saw other kids are doing it, she grabbed me and said "Mama, I wanna feed the bird".
A bird like this is so cute and colorful. I believe we feed the birds with honeydew.

I Need A New Pair of Boots

Shopping is my weakness. I love to shop for clothes, women's accessories, and shoes. This year I bought a few pairs of shoes. I have no clue what is going on with me. I am totally obsess with shoes! This week I am planning on buying a new pair of winter boots. I just saw some sweet deals on womens boots at shoemall.com. ShoeMall carries styles for all tastes, even for those whose styles are varied and lean toward power pumps or casual shoes for work or play. They have a great selection of steel-toe work boots and great sneakers. This place carries a number of styles by popular brands such as Adidas, Keen, Naturalizer, Ecco, and Anne Klein. I like their shoe selection.

Bears

Here's a mama grizzly bear. She just finished taking a bath. She knew I was taking pictures of her. Then all in a sudden, she sat down and posed for the camera.

Autumn Is On Its Way!

 I feel like it's still summer here in San Antonio. I know some people from other states in the US are all bundled up already, but umm ah... not in Lone Star yet. It gets windy on the evening though. I noticed that tree leaves are starting to change. Just like the tree behind us.

Sawshark

Photo was taken at Shark Reef Aquarium @ Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
just click the image  for a clear view.
The sawsharks or saw sharks are an order of sharks bearing long blade-like snouts edged with teeth, which they use to slash and disable their prey. Most occur in waters from South Africa to Australia and Japan, at depths of 40 metres (130 ft) and below; in 1960 the Bahamas sawshark was discovered in the deeper waters (640 m to 915 m) of the northwestern Caribbean.






Vehicle Wraps

I think one of the biggest challenges facing many small businesses these days is simply getting noticed. While it would be nice to rely on one's reputation to drive customer traffic, sometimes that is just not enough. One cost-effective way to get noticed is with vehicle wraps. Vehicle wrapping is the application of an advertising message of both text and images on a car or truck. The cost per impression for a vehicle wrap is significantly lower than advertising on billboards. So if you are looking for a reliable company that offers vehicle wraps, you should check out Speedpro Signs and Imaging. Visit them today for more details.

Our last snow experience in California. Photo was taken last May, 2010.
Akesha @ 2 years old something. She's a die hard fan of Dora. I believe 80% of her stuff has Dora character on it.
Our little traveler who waited patiently at Las Vegas airport.
During our 2-week stay at Nellis Air Force Base.
Now that she's 4 years old, I've noticed that she prefers to have "Princess" stuff rather than Dora stuff...ek! I guess she got bored with Dora...lol!

Vancouver Web Design

There are so many aspects to gaining success in a business online-whether it is an exclusively online business or an existing business that is expanding to the internet. From internet marketing to web design and developing, it can all be pretty overwhelming. Selecting the right branding ad agency and the website design will undoubtedly be critical to your success online. 

If you have an online business, chances are you are not an expert at web design at all. You can either hire your own web designer or you can take the time to buy a website template and work on it yourself. I think the best way to do it is to hire a Vancouver web design. They can help your website grow exponentially by improving the look and feel of it. They can also make it more user friendly. It is important to make sure the information on your website is reflected in a professional manner that would increase your traffic.

ABC Wednesday: P is for Purchase

Yesterday was quiet a manic day for us. We went furniture hunting! It was exhausting. We checked 3 different furniture stores, and only bought 2 sets of furniture....lol! We supposed to get a living room set and 2 beds, but we can't afford to purchase them right now. Since we are still on the process of buying a house, we are not allowed to use our credit card until after the closing date which is on November 15th. Right now we are using our debit card.
One furniture store that we checked has an on "going out of business bankruptcy sale". 
We found some great deals, and decided to PURCHASE  2 end tables, living room table, and a dining set.  

We like the quality because it's made of marble. Plus we got discounts!
