No Doubt Concert 2009!!!

Wow....what can I say....I went to the No Doubt concert with my cousin and had the time of my life. Not only did we have awesome seats because of my cousin, but they played all the songs that just morphed me back to high school. I danced, I laughed, I got stung by a bee ( I think) lol but I had a blast doing it and all with two of my favorite people in the world: My cousins :) Its one for the books for sure Jessie.

Some pics for you and and some video I found of the concert! Enjoy!!

One of the highlights of the night was when Gwen came to our row. We were literally feet away from her. It was freaking awesome.

Family Fun Night 09

Today we attended little C's last Family Fun Night at his school. It was a little sad for him since it was his last as a fifth grader. We all had a blast having dinner, and playing games all evening long.

The kids started off by getting their "crazy hair" done:

Los then went off to play with his classmates and C and I were left to play games with Christina. First we stopped by the face painting station where I thought my daughter would choose a cute design to put on her face. I was expecting a butterfly, a ladybug, or maybe even a rainbow. To my surprise my daughter shouts out..." I WANT A SPIDER...A SPIDERWEB!" so a spider it was.

Have I mentioned how much I HATE spiders...Yes its official my daughter wants to torture me!


Whe played tons of games:

Christina and daddy tried the cake walk and won!!!

Then she saw Gigante and got scared:

because he tried to steal her cupcakes

He gave them back though... :P

We eventually found los who was having fun with his buddies and we went home. It was an awesome time!

Sunset Beach Trip

C surprised me today by picking me up from work and bringing me a change of clothes. He would not tell me what we were doing or where we were going. We got on the 280 and I realized we were heading to San Francisco. We headed over to ocean beach to watch the sunset...The only problem? Um there was no sun out and it was FREEZING COLD! We made the best of it and walked around the beach. The kids loooooved it ran around the beach picking up sand dollars. It was awesome :)

The kids and I and our "Ram Fam" sign :D

Memorial Day 09

Memorial day was spent in the company of family, friends, and good food :) We BBQ'd burgers, hot dogs and I made my wave your flag cheesecake that the hubby likes very much. We all hung out and played Rock band. It was also our first Memorial Day in our new home. I love making new memories with my family. This was very special for us.

Making my usual "Wave your flag cheesecake" Its a staple in our family for Memorial Day and 4th of July!

The guys were totally concentrating on their song lol

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!!!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was spent in our new home and it was very special for us because we hosted Easter in our new home. We had my brother, his fiancee, my best friend. and my dad and his gf came over. I spent all morning cleaning up and getting ready for our company. I made a batch of cupcakes and some yummy potato salad. Hubs got out of work early and helped with the BBQ.

This was my Easter set up along with my cupcake centerpiece :)
The kids were given Easter baskets by my brother and his fiancee and my dad and his gf.

These are Christina's baskets

SF Zoo-Weekend Trip

With work and his hectic hours Christian doesnt get many weekends off with us. It's been a little tough on us not having him around on weekends to spend time with us, so when he had the entire weekend off to spend with us we were thrilled and we spent the weekend with each other and our kids having fun. We decided to make the best out of family weekend and took a trip to The San Francisco Zoo. It was also a reason for hubby to use his Nikon SLR camera that was a gift from our friends Scott and Ben. (Thanks for that btw guys. We love ya!)

We started our morning bright and early and we were off for a day at the zoo.

When we got to sf it was bright and sunny and it was beautiful weather for it being January!

This is my favorite picture of lil C. Hubby took it while he was looking at something and it came out quite nicely :)

After the beach we decided to drive along the coast and hubs took advantage of taking pics of the beach and the beautiful weather.

We had a great weekend with C and the kids and we are grateful to have days like this to spend as a family :)
