Sonny's Birthday

So, Sonny's 2nd Birthday was on Saturday!! I'm a bit late posting but I had to figure out the slide show thing & I'm glad to say it worked this time!!! Hooray!! Anyway I cannot believe that it's been 2 years since I had my little angel. He is a little ray of sunshine in our lives. We had an extremely busy day to say the least but we were able to have a nice little birthday party for him. See the slide show below. He had fun but his faces that he makes are sooo classic. My poor little boy is just like me & will never be able to hide his emotions from anyone cuz they are always right there on his face & eyes. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sonny!!! We love you very much...........Mom, Dad & Blake

Sonny's Birthday

An exciting weekend-part 2

So after my sewing adventure with Steph Brad & I got to go to Kings preseason

game. We were able to find a babysitter who is actually

not related to us. We don't actually hire babysitters too often. Brad too Blake to

his soccer game & then we were off to the Kings game. We had

a lot of fun. I always enjoy watching basketball when you're

right there. I don't think we've been to an actual game in about 2 years. I used to

get tickets from my old boss on occasion but, it's going on 2 years since

I've worked there so, it's been a while. It was fun....Thanks for giving us the tix Lance.

Then on Saturday we were FINALLY able to go to San Francisco. We stopped @

IKEA on our way, but what a mess. There were

people everywhere!!! I love to go there & see what kind of stuff I can find

that I think would be helpful for me but I CANNOT stand crowds

like that!!!! I LOVE to shop, but not like that. I was

bummed, but oh well, I can go on another day when there's not a major sale going on.

So off we went to our fave BART station. We always ride the BART in to

the city. I love going on it. It's just not something I get to do all

the time. Blake & Sonny were very excited. Choo choo train. That's what Sonny
kept saying. He LOVES trains!!! It was quite busy in the city too. We decided that Blake & I would ride the muni & Brad would walk all the way down to PIER 39.

The buses were crazy full of people!!

What a trooper

my man is!!!!

While Blake & I were waiting we got to see jets flying by. No pics of the jets
cuz they just flew by way to fast!

Apparently there was an air show going on this past weekend too. We finally made it
to the aquarium!! That was fun. The boys loved it. It's amazing to see all of the amazing creatures under the water!!! Brad even found the octopus
that was hiding. Lots of walking & some eating. The boys did great. We
all ended up walking all the way back to Pier 1 cuz the buses were soooo busy. Poor
Blake. His little legs & feet were killing him he was telling us over & over again. All in all, we had a really nice family day. The weather was perfect too!! I'm glad we finally got to go & enjoy a day together as a family!!!

An exciting weekend-Sewing with Stephanie

Wow, we did a lot this past weekend! I still feel like I am recovering. This will be a continued post. First I went over to my friend Stephanie's (Lewis). It's taken us forever to finally get together outside of just seeing eachother at places we both happen to be at. I am so grateful that we are still friends even after all these years. I believe we met when I was 12. Long time. We had tons of fun on Friday. She showed me the pattern for these super cute bibs that she makes. Wow, super easy. The only thing that I will have trouble with is the button holes. At least I know a few crafty people who are in my neck of the woods that can try to teach me. heehee. I'll have to take pics & post them after they are all made so you all can see just how crafty I can be. Plus, the bibs aren't just rectangles like the burp cloths & baby blankets that I make. I know, I know, I need to slow down, a couple of angles thrown into the mix is just CRAZY. Anyway, we had fun gabbing about high school & our young single adult years. I totally miss talking to her everyday. I was reminded why we were & still are such good friends even though we don't live just down the street from eachother. Gotta take time to get together more often. Anyway, thanks Steph for the sewing lesson & we will have to make it a regular habit.

Here's a pic of the 1st of many to come.

Recent pictures

Here's Blake & Sonny a few weeks ago after church. I thought my boys looked so handsome

at Bryan & Kimi's wedding but realized we didn't really get any

pictures of them so here's the best I could

do after a long day at church.

See, Sonny just wants to go inside. No more pictures mom!

Success!!!

My 1st Demarle at Home Rendez-Vous was a success!!! Thanks to my family & friends who were there to support me!!! I learned a few things that will help things run more smoothly next time. I really hope that my girlfriends who couldn't be there tonight will join me when I have another one. It's such an amazing product, I can't say enough about it, but you really have to see it in action to get the full perspective. Good stuff!!!

Happy Birthday Chris

Ok, so today is my baby bro's 29th birthday!! I can't believe it. One more year & you'll be in your 30's like me & Shane. HAHAHA!! Anyways, I know I'm lame but this was one of the only pics I could find of him & NO!! he's not in the army anymore!! Thought it was a funny pic though. Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY baby bro!!!

Can't wait for tonight!!

Tonight I get to go out & be an adult!! I'm going to see the Broadway Show "The Drowsy Chaperone" with a few family members & some friends. Looking forward to getting dressed up. Too bad my darling husband doesn't enjoy this type of thing like I do. Oh well, at least I have family members who like to go & like to invite me. Lucky me!! Anyway, I'll let everyone know how it goes.

And I'm back....

So, we've had no internet for like a week because we've changed phone services & we had to get new internet services. I feel like I've been out of it. Crazy to think how much the internet keeps me sane & how much I actually do on it. I have pics to post from some fun things we've done but I'm not doing that right now cuz I don't wanna sit & wait. I know, so lame. Anyway, I LOVE blogging & how you get to catch up with old friends. I've had 3 friends find me & I LOVE it. I am so happy to have this way to communicate with friends that have moved away. I love, love, love this blogging world.
