The big day

The day finally arrives!!! Rosalba and Damian get married! The pictures tell it all.

The pre-wedding festivities

Today, we went to the church for rehearsal and then returned to the rental house for a rehearsal BBQ. The house was jammed pack with the wedding party and close family members. We all had so much fun. Cant wait for the wedding.

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!




Getting her off to a good start.





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.
