Balboa Bay Club

The Bay Club is never ending fun!  Thank you Ang and Jaime... love, love, love spending time with you!

Steely Dan & Elvis Costello

Jeff and I had date night at the Hollywood Bowl.  We stopped for sushi and wine at Itacho before the show.  The concert was soooo good!  Steely Dan sang hit after hit!  Loved them!



Van's 5th Birthday

Our favorite little boy turned 5 today!  He was so excited waking up to balloons and presents galore!  We watched as he opened his favorite things.  Josette's friend Bailey had slept over and joined us for our fun filled day.  After breakfast we enjoyed a few hours at the beach then headed over to Chuck E Cheese for more hours of fun.  Thanks Brusseau's for joining us... Van loves having his best friend Jess by his side.

Van's smile melts our hearts.  He's nice, smart, funny and a little shy.  He is so loved by his sisters and sometimes a tad bit spoiled.  He loves Ninja Turtles, Sponge Bob, superheros, cars and his BFF Jess.  He also loves the beach, Dolphy Park and frozen yogurt at Penguins.  I love that he lets me smother him with kisses!  We love him so much and enjoy watching him grow.  Van is Daddy's buddy!  He loves when they build boats and airplanes.  He loves when they scooter and skate board.  He was Dad's biggest and best surprise 5 years ago and always his best friend forever!



Beautiful day in the sun and sea.

Van was today's main attraction.


Love you Van!

Swim Lessons

Poor little Van... he took 2 weeks of swim lessons and hated every minute of it!  I mean he really hated every minute of it!  However, his awesome Coach Nathan and Coach Chris were able to calm him down and get him comfortable in the water.  Good job Van!  You did it!

My poor baby!  Come on Van, butch up!
