My Birthday

Well, my birthday was on Wednesday, but because of all the business we decided to celebrate w/ a bbq Friday.James, Gail, Devin & Sarah came over and we just all hung out.Of course you get pics!

My Birthday Night

Mom made me brownies & I had to share the video of everyone singing to me & then getting whip cream on me.
Gotta love being the mama!

Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra3cOfgCPMQ

Gees Luees!

I am so sorry!

I have been soooooooooooo busy with summer, soccer & school starting and my business rolling,,,THANK GOD!

So school is back in, and I totally forgot to take the camera with me.

I didn't get a pic of Adi, but Jose ran home and got the camera so I could take a pic of Anthony on his first day of Jr. High School.

Jose and I walked him into his class, met his teacher and then left.

YES, I bawled my eyes out in the parking lot! It was harder leaving my boy on his first day of Jr. High, than it was leaving him on his first day of Pre-School. He is growing up too fast! He got 4 awesome teachers and he is loving everyday so far. I am very happy he is doing so well!

Adriana got Mrs. Riley. I was really hoping she would get her, and she did. She has a handful of friends in her class and is loving her class too! I am so happy! It is so critical for these kids to enjoy school, and they do, so it's all gravy!

We will be taking off this weekend to take the kids to the beach. We weren't able to go anywhere or really do anything with the kids over the summer with everything we had going on, so we are gonna do it Labor Day weekend and fight the crowds...Oh Well!

That's about it for now. I will see what pics I have from over the summer and post them.

My Sarah Is A Teenager

Yes, my niece is officially a teenager.
I am VERY proud to be her "Tia" and am enjoying having her in my life! She is a pure joy! We have definately had our ups and downs, but I wouldn't do any of it over again!
Her mom had a party for her with her friends and of course family. We had nummy food, a great time, and of course CAKE! Here are some pics...

3rd & 4th of July Celebration 2007

One thing I have learned about capturing night time activities, is, it is stinken HARD!
Anyways, we hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! Jose and I took FULL advantage of this being a 'day off'.
He went out back and finished our little wall that he built and I cleaned the kitchen and carpets. Then we went swimming and bbq'd.
It was a very nice day w/ our kids, and we enjoyed every moment!
We later went to my old work and parked in the parking lot and took pics and waited for fireworks. When they finally came, they were HUGE AND LOUD!!!! Dominic freaked because we were so close, but then got used to it and enjoyed it. Beaumont put on a really good show! Here are some pics...

Here is Jose bbq'ing some food for us. Jose & Dominic swimming in the pool

Then Tuesday night, the 3rd, Cabazon had a firework show also. So after dinner and cleaning, we headed out there, got a really good spot and watched those.
