A Boy & Girl
Tuesday May 23, 2006 Tricia had another baby BOY! I'm not to sure of all the details because we were only able to talk for a few minutes but I know it's a little boy a little over 7lb and his name is Joshua. Congratulations Villarreal Family!! Oh yah, he was born on his daddies birthday!!! Happy Birthday! On the same day around the same time Jennifer and Joaquin welcomed their first little girl into the world. She was also about 7lb but she still does not have a name. Congratulations!
What A Night
Last night Willie and I hung out on the couch for a great night of music TV. Not only was American Idol on but the ACM Awards were also on. Idol was great and we voted for Taylor, Taylor, Taylor!!! Simon was right on the money about the whole night. Can't wait for tonight when the top 10 will be back to perform. It was kind of funny because as we were flipping back and fourth between the two shows at several different points all we were watching were American Idols because Kelly and Carrie were both on the ACMs. The performances on the ACMs were great except for the fact Tim and Faith were not there. You could really tell that Country Music had a great year because every category had 4 or 5 great nominees so you wanted everyone to win.

Apprentice Update
Man, I love this show!!!! It is down to the end now with only two more shows left. Will it be Lee or Sean as the next Apprentice. Who would have thought Lee would be here at the end as many times as he has been in the boardroom. I do think the best two have made it to the end. Lee is young but has always been the brains behind most of the great ideas for his team. He was always the one who told the team leader he did not like and idea but was still always their to work hard on the task even when he thought he could do it better. Sean has always been a team player and did a great job last night with the fashion show, I love both of them. Last night we said goodbye to Roxanne and Allie both, all I can say to that is It's About Dam Time!

American Idol
A Great E-Mail
NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Aye from GA. This guy should run for President one day... "We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetter. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair!
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!) ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don’t care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly....) ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution.
The phrase “IN GOD WE TRUST" is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!
I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will.

The Girl's
TV
Monday night is the night Willie and I hang out at home and watch a few great shows together. Monday is our must see TV night and last night was a great night for TV!
Grey's Anatomy ended the season with a 3 hour long show, the best 3 hours ever. When the dog died I thought I was going to died!!!! it was so sad. I am so happy that Derek and Meredith got it on!!!! They need to be together! I can't wait to watch next season.
Prison Break is Willie's favorite show and it also ended last night. When they chopped off the guys hand I thought I was going to get sick! I hope they make it out to prove that he is innocent.
Our TV night ended with Tammy being FIRED!! She was a nice girl but would have never made it working for Mr. Trump.

We Love You Chris
Today is a sad day in the world of American Idol. America what it the HELL is wrong with you??? Katharine should be on her way home today not Chris! I know Chris will be a big star and maybe not winning was better for him so he can sign a deal for more than just 1 million dollars but I just hated to see him go. As for me and American Idol my votes will go to Taylor or Elliott.

Hello
Hope you all are having a great Hump Day!!! Only one more day for me and the weekend is here!!!! I have wanted to post all week but I have been so busy at work. As most of you know Willie had a softball tournament in College Station this past weekend. We left on Friday after lunch with Cassy and Jason so Jason and Willie could make it in time for the Home Run contest. The tournament started on Saturday morning and our first game was scheduled for 10:00am. But as you know it rained cats and dogs Saturday morning. Since the fields were like mud pits they moved the tournament back and our first game was at 5:30 in the afternoon!! This meant we had the whole day to hang out so where was the first place we went …..Free Birds!!!! Willie and I love Free Birds and it is a must when we go to College Station. As for the tournament they played 4 games and lost at 3:45 Sunday morning. Even though Team Crush did not win we had a great time. Sunday, Willie and I did not get up until noon so the day was almost over and we were just getting started. We went to lunch at Rudy’s (the best BBQ ever!!!) and then I headed home and Willie headed to the ball park to watch the end of the tournament. After I got home Mom, Jamie and I went to the movies to see RV and have dinner. Robin Williams was funny like always, it was a good family movie. Well, another weekend is almost here and it is full of things to do. Little Bobby goes to prom, Alexis has an end of the year gym show and Shannnon graduates and let’s not forget Mother’s Day!!!!
Happy Birthday

America
This was sent to me via e-mail and I must say it is great!!
This is an editorial written by an
American citizen, published in a
Tampa, FL Newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However...... the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to ! America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans...... we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan.. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women.......on Christian principles............. founded this nation..... and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home.........because God is part of our culture.
If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so! But once you are done complaining....... whining..... and griping....... about our flag....... our pledge...... our national motto........or our way of life...I highly encourage you to
take advantage of one other Great American Freedom....... THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
It is Time for America to Speak up
If you agree -- pass this along;
if you don't agree -- delete it - You are in the WRONG Country!
AMEN
