Pasadena College Parenting Class

Julianna and I joined a weekly mommy and me parenting class at the pasadena college. Its a lot of fun for both of us and we get to bond. The topics are interesting and we get to see what other kids her age are doing.



Julianna loves her class.



Here is one of Julianna's new Desmund.

Isaac's bday party

This is my first time inserting a video into my blog, lets hope it works. We spent our Saturday at Isaac's 5th bday party. Sofia came with us and also spent the night. Both her and Tamara were on their best behavior this weekend. They got along, they never fought, plus they fell asleep in the car on the way home and went straight to bed. It couldn't have gone any better.


Tommy and his girls Jayla and Amaya.




The birthday boy, Isaac.



Best friends. Well, its a love-hate relationship

The girls spent a large part of the day looking for bugs and playing in the dirt.

Labor Day Fun!

Today we spent a nice afternoon outside on the deck with the Alva's and my parents. Robert made his delicious BBQ ribs and we accompanied them with some scrumptious side dishes and some beer. Yum yum! What a nice way to celebrate labor day.

After having her first meal with a spoon, Julianna had lots of brain power to focus on her toys.

Gotta get in those grandparent pictures.

I love my Nina!

Oh yeah, almost forgot about these two. Sofia loves mothering Tamara. She was putting on her safety gear, notice the helmet is backwards.

Julianna has been making friends in her playgroup. Here she is with Jordan and Lucy.

Nike + The Human Race

Wow what a race. We ran the Nike Human Race 10k today and had such a great time. This race was historic in that it was run all over the world. Robert, Jesse and I all ran the race in under 1 hour. Robert's time was 44 min, mine was 56 and Jesse was 57. It was so much fun. I think we have all found our new pastime, running 10ks. Nike sure knows how to pump you up and get you all excited. There were performers from all over the world at each 1/2 mile marker which really made it motivating. After the race, we watched a Kanye concert right outside of the colliseum.

Before the race.




An hour to go.




Who ever heard of beer before a race?




This girl said the the guys were her heros for drinking a beer before the race.




Getting ready to start.





Chin nuts?




We did it. Lets celebrate with another beer.




We even met up with Seth our cousin (John's son).




Weirdo.




I guess beer was the theme of the night.




Get ready, go!

Me and my honey.

Happy Birthday Raul

We had a great time today celebrating Raul's 30th birthday. It was a surprise party and we all gave him a big surprise by standing outside his house with a Happy Birthday sign. We then had some great food, music and enjoyed great company.
