Happy Belated Birthday's!

I've been trying to do better at keeping up with my blog and everyone's birthday's! But so far this month I haven't done a good job at all. Sorry mom/Grandma, I know I missed a shout out to you for your birthday earlier this month (Sept 7th)! We love you!

Yesterday was Belita's birthday and just wanted to give a quick shout out to her as well! We love you too!

Happy 3rd Birthday Zerah!

Today our sweet little niece Zerah Jane turned THREE! How time passes by so quickly, this means Jaycee will be 3 also before we know it. I know I say it often, but they truly do grow up way too fast! Last weekend we celebrated Zerah's birthday and my parents came down for the celebration :) It was fun and a good time was had by ALL! Zerah we are so proud of you and love you very much!

My sis, did it again ~ another amazing cake!

Excited for the cake :)

Darn candles won't blow out!

Yummy cake!

Present time!

Double birthday shout out!

Today is a special day for both Baby Ben who turned ONE! And for Miss Estella Lousie who turned the big FIVE! Happy Birthday to both of you, we love you both very much!

Today was a very busy day having two birthday on the same day and having both parties on the same day as well :) We spent most of the day at Kate Sessions Park celebrating Ben's 1st birthday and had a GREAT time! After our fun at Ben's birthday, we stopped by to wish Estella a Happy Birthday as well, by this point both Jaycee and mommy were tired so we didn't get to stay too long, but it was nice to see friends and hang out for a bit. Would have been nice to stay longer! Thanks Christy, Kike, Jake and Maria for all the fun today! Most pictures below are from Ben's birthday, since we showed up late to Estella's birthday. I did try and take a few picture of Jaycee and Estella, but they didn't really come out that well.

Yummy cake!

Ready for the pinata!

You are funny looking Tia!

Present time!

Two of my favorite people with the best smiles!

Daddy time, cuddling on the couch! I love you both so much!

Teeter Totter Fun!

Riding a teeter totter with 5 is much more fun that just 2.......think this time next year we can fit all 7 on there :) Love watching the cousin fun!

Thought for the Day!

I saw this post on a friends blog (thanks for sharing Tammy) and I had to share. Love it! Te Amo Mucho Amor!

Some zoo fun!

This morning we met our friends Tanner and Andrea at the zoo and after our fun at the zoo before it got to hot to walk around we went to the park in Balboa to have lunch and the let the kiddos play. I just love having these types of days with our princess. I'm so blessed my job lets me work part-time :) Thanks for the fun Andrea and Tanner! Our lion friend at the zoo is usually not as close as he was today, check it out!

Hot weather

The last week or so, it's been really hot for us. Especially for prego mommy here. Saturday was miserable, sure wish we had AC for those really hot days! It's been rough on JR also, she has a really hard time sleeping, it's way too hot upstairs in her room to sleep :( Her naps have been super short :( Gonna be another hot and humid one this weekend, guess we will be spending more time at the pool like some of the pictures below :) Enjoy

Melting Pot vs Forever Fondue

Forever Fondue in La Jolla is usually were we go for our Wedding Anniversary each year, we have made it a tradition. We really enjoy the place, great food and atmosphere! After having dinner at the Melting Pot last night I thought we would like one more than the other. Well, it's a tough one, we can't really say we enjoy one over the other. They are both really good :) I think the Melting Pot might be a little more expensive, but we are also thinking you may get alittle more food. We may have to make the Melting Pot a birthday tradition and keep Forever Fondue an Anniversary tradition since we enjoy both so much! Last nights dinner was so yummy and so enjoyable. Thanks again mom and dad for the gift certificate :)

Birthday dinner with the hubby :)

What a GREAT day today was. Got to sleep in a little, the whole family did :) Went to the park at the Bay with JR and Tavo. We played and had a picnic lunch. Came home and relaxed. Monica came over to watch JR so Tavo and I could enjoy a nice dinner out. I had a nice surprise from the hubby, he had planned for me to have a massage from Monica before we went to the restaurant. The massage felt WONDERFUL! Thanks so much Monica, you truly are amazing and a wonderful friend. We love you! We ate at the melting pot in UTC/La Jolla, we had a gift certificate from mom and dad at Christmas time. Thanks mom and dad for paying for my birthday dinner :)

Check out some pictures from tonight's dinner :)

Birthday dinner with the ladies

Tonight my best girls (Maria, Monica and Sani) treated me to a wonderful evening out at Bombay for Indian food and a dessert at Chocolat in Hillcrest! It was a wonderful evening out with the ladies. Thanks for making it a special day! Love you ladies! Mauh....

Our yummy dinner spread we all shared....Samosa's, mango chicken, chicken tikka maslsa, Lamb vindaloo, mixed veggie korma, biryanis vegetable rice and Dizzy Noo Shak (banana curry) with Naan. It was a ton of food and we did have some leftovers, but ALL so yummy!
