My Baby Shower

I am 30 weeks pregnant and my little baby boy will arriving soon. My sweet and wonderful friends threw me a shower at Jaime's house. Ang, Deb, Jaime, Jessica, Cathy, Sherry, Renee, Melissa, Michelle and Kelly were all so sweet and generous to shower me with love and gifts for baby Van. It's all becoming so real seeing these tiny blue clothes. I'M HAVING A BOY! I can't believe this little man will be joining our family so soon. Opening all the gifts let's me visualize him with us. I had a fabulous day with my best friends and was so happy to share everything with the girls when I got home. They were so EXCITED to go through everything and are equally anxious to meet him. I am very thankful to have my friends. Their love and support mean the world to me!

Cooling Off

It's always refreshing to cool off on a hot day by running in the sprinklers. That's exactly what we did... with our clothes on!

Karate

Josette took 2 sessions of Karate this year at Tulita. Every Wednesday after school she would go to the cafeteria and take the 1 hour class. Her poise and discipline were amazing. She was always enthusiastic and focused. We attended her belt test and to our surprise she skipped 4 belts and received her green belt. We're all so proud of her ability and determination. Good job!

Happy Anniversary

Our Anniversary this year was a family affair. We dined at our favorite restaurant Frascati and reminisced about our Italian wedding. I can't wait to go back for a second honeymoon! Eight years later, 3 beautiful girls and one lucky boy on the way... Our family is beautiful and complete!

Ride to Fly

We joined Judy and Jane Scallon for a charity event at The Empty Saddle Club. We enjoyed the afternoon eating BBQ, listening to music and doing arts and crafts with the girls. This was our second year attending and we look forward to many more.

Disney's California Adventure

We woke up over Spring Break and decided to be adventurous and head down to Disneyland! It was just me and the girls... oh and little baby in my tummy who is now approaching 7 months. The day was wonderful, ferris wheels, hot air balloons, bumper cars, and face painting. The girls were wonderful and troopers, as I only had a single stroller for them to share. We don't go often, but when we do... Disneyland is a magical place for all!

Shawnie's Birthday

Little Shawn who was born 3 years ago at 2lbs is now a healthy big boy and as sweet as can be! We celebrated his birthday at Pump it Up in Irvine. The kids enjoyed bouncing and eating yummy cupcakes while us moms enjoyed catching up on a little girl time. Love my girls Ang, Jaime and Jess!
