The start of the festivities

We started off the festivities on Friday with a "girl day". We went to a fabulous lunch at the Beach House. It was the perfect scene as we enjoyed our lunches with the waves crashing in the background. Soon after, we moved on to get our mani's and pedi's. Some of the girls arrived early to decorate the salon with "man balloons" and a bottle of champagne. What fun! Afterwards, we quickly went home to get ready for our "girls night out" at Poseidon. It was a great time.

Puerto Nuevo

My sister and Damian are finally getting married. We left for San diego to start the festivities. We started our trip with a delicious lunch in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico. We enjoyed incredible lobster and afterwards spent the afternoon listening to mariachis and enjoying the beachfront restaurant with our Texas cousins. It was a great start to an amazing weekend.

Humm, what do I want?




Yum! My lobster tails.

Photo Shoot

Since we were all dressed up for the game, Julianna got to have her 1st USC pictures taken by me today. She was such a great little poser. She is going to make a great USC fan!

GO USC!

So we made every effort we could to get tickets to todays USC vs. Ohio game. We went to the USC campus and we tailgated while trying to scalp tickets. But unfortunately, this game was more than sold out. Thats ok, we got to experience the positive vibes and visit with our Alma Mater. Damn we love our old school. There is just nothing like USC! So we rushed back to our car and sped home to watch the game on our DVR. Hey, Big Screen TV, soft comfy sofa, all we can drink beers, and no traffic. Cant beat that!

We can't forget Tommy Trojan.

First day of School

So Tamara started her first day of pre-school today at Sunrise. She is now in the 4 year old class and will be learning a lot more this year. She was very excited to start school this time which is a big change for her. Last year was a bit tough for her to let go of mom and dad. Today seemed a bit easier. We dropped her off, took some pictures, then gave her a kiss goodbye and walked out. She didn't even look back. Lets hope this is the start of a good year.

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.

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.
