Happy Birthday to me X2!!

Words cannot even begin to describe how happy I was to walk into my home on this Saturday afternoon and see all of my family and friends standing in the living room. My wonderful husband along with my family planned a surprise 30th birthday party for me. The set up in the backyard was awesome. I couldnt believe my eyes! They all got together and set up in 3 hours! I did not suspect a thing until I came home to a house full of family and friends. My cousin came all the way from Roseville for the celebration as well. That was a shock all on its own since I had not seen her in a very long time and missed her dearly. The surprises did not end there....towards the evening..my brother surprised me with a mariachi! Wow....words cannot begin to describe how blessed I am with such a wonderful husband, family and friends. We all had a blast and I will never forget it!

I was taken to my best friends house and while we were there for close to 3 hours. I had fun hanging out with her...later I found out she was hungover from the night before and was sick in the bathroom!!! HA!!


When I finally got to my house I was greeted like this:

I had a great time opening presents and eating some yummy food. The set up in the backyard was awesome. We had a taquero along with a flat screen tv to watch the UFC fight that was on that night :D

Thank you everyone for making my day so especial and memorable. I will never forget it and I am so lucky to have you all. I love you guys!!!

Happy Birthday To Me......

Today marks the beginning of a new decade for me. I leave my 20's behind and begin my 30's. I cant believe time has gone by so quickly. So many things have happened, so many changes. I can honestly say that I feel content beginning my 30's....I mean, its so weird, I dreaded being this age for so long and now that it is finally here I am ok with it. I am happy. I have the love of my husband, a home we can call our own and create our own memories in, and two beautiful children that brighten up my world. I am embracing my age and everything that will come along with this decade. My 20's were good and I am positive my 30's will be even better!

With all that said. My birthday fell on a Monday. I took the day off and spent it with my husband. Little C went off to camp that morning(info on that experience will come in my next post), and Christina spent some of the morning with me and then was taken to her ninos and ninas home to take pics with the easter bunny. I got a mani/pedi then met up with my family and had some awesome dinner. Good food with good company. I couldnt have asked for a better B-day :)

and now for some pics:

Delicious food at my favorite breakfast place Stacks in Campbell. Yum!!!!!

Making Christina smile at Stacks

We had dinner at Chevys and in most of the pics we took I looked like I was totally wasted when I was not! lol and if you dont believe me....here is an example:

Well ok...maybe it might be because I am sipping my delicious strawberry margarita out of the PITCHER! but yea...I'ts my party and I'll drink if I want to! :P

Anyway the night was awesome....A good time was had by all....:)

Christina's Second Birthday!!!

Our little girl turned 2 we had a great day planned for her :)

:) We planned a fun day for her and her big brother carlos at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and boy did she love seeing the Fishy's!

Our day started with her Nino Carlos and Nina Elsa who stopped by and had breakfast with us.

They got her a really cute Curious George and Tyrone from the Backyardigans. Tyrone talks and sings and Christina really likes him :) Although at first she was a little scared of him!

Thanks Nino Carlos and Nina Elsa. Christina Loved her presents! <3<3<3>We then packed the kids and left for a fun filled day to the Monterey Bay Aqarium. It was beautiful out and we couldnt wait to get in there and see some animals.

She was in awe of where she was. We had been to the aquarium before when she was younger but now that she is a little older she saw everything in a whole diffrent way.

Her big brother loves to show her the different types of fish.

*Funny Story-The Monterey Bay Aquarium has these really cool 3-D windows type things that you can view the fish through. You reach your hand inside and its almost as if your inside swimming with the fish in the water. Christian thought it would be funny to try and sit Christina inside of the window bubble thing so she can look at the fish and the faces she made were priceless. She was terrified lol dont believe me? look at her face in the pics below :D

Daddy I dont want to go in the bubble!

I did not sign up for this!!!!

After the aquarium we had lunch at this restaurant called Archie's. Pretty good place, with very good food and milkshakes! I got to show my creative side and drew Christina a little birthday banner that we got to bring home with us :P

I love food! so one thing you will notice is that I will take pics of the food we eat. Above is a picture of the shrimp pasta i had at Archies. It was really good and I couldnt finish it!

The food was so good. It made Christian want to take a nap!

He was only kidding though! Heres my handsome hubby :D

We had a great time and I know the kids enjoyed themselves. Until next time Monterey!!!!

p.s We also celebrated Christinas birthday at my moms house with cake. I need to get those pics from my brother so I can post them up.....so to be continued :)
