We spent Labor Day weekend at the beach, Oceanside
where Uncle Rommel and Auntie Tish live
did some boogie boarding...even I did it, but didn't need any pictures of me falling all over the place
The kids enjoyed playing in the sand
eating good food, especially spring rolls
playing in the water
and some had very good naps
no matter where we are, these kids just love being together!
We made it! 8 years without killing each other :) Our anniversary day started out nice with flowers from Jay...took me a while to get that it was an apple martini arrangement, my favorite drink!
We spent our anniversary at the Palazzo Hotel
ate at Sushi Samba
The best dish we had, the chilean seabass in miso sauce, so good...also had the biggest corn kernels I've ever seen. Jay couldn't wait to dig in.
the other meats and side dishes were pretty tasty too
but they didn't bring out our sushi, but by that time we were full anyway, so we just went straight for dessert...so we'll have to come back for their sushi
A chef maybe, Jaylin loves to help daddy cook dinner
A perfectionist...Jayson has a habit of lining things up. He line up cars, trains, pens, books, pretty much anything, but his favorite is shoes...and he gets mad when one gets out of place
sometimes you'll find random lines throughout the house. In this picture the line of shoes went from the stairs to underneath the kitchen table
he'll even line up the big stuff like my chairs. This is what the kids eat when daddy is not home to cook, corn dogs...no, there are actually 2 really good things I can make :)
or maybe Jayson will be a pie eating contest winner...when we got this huge dessert, he said,"bite, bite" so we let him
and it was a big mess!
this is what the eclair looked like before we dug in
or maybe Jayson will be an artist
A sassy fashionista...Jayme, she's just super cute!
maybe she'll be a photographer...she loves to take pictures...she knows how to take the my space, hand stretched out picture...haha!
Uncle Neil and Auntie Melissa came to Vegas to see Janet Jackson and to visit us
While in town, us sisters went on a movie date to watch, "My Best Friend's Girl."
Uncle Rick and Auntie Tip came to visit this month too
a silly photo of Jayson
Horse show at the Southpointe Hotel
let the kids lick the bowl, they turn into animals :)
Sundays after or before church we do breakfast at IHOP or Original Pancake House
but if time and funds don't permit, then we do dunkin donuts :)
Since the end of summer is near, we try to eat outside/patioside as much as possible
get as much swimming in as possible...I know we need to get him boy floaties :)
and took one last trip to the beach
back to oceanside
so we could also celebrate Uncle Rommel's big 40 birthday!
Uncle Jay being the horse ride...there are four of them on him
and of course on the way home, we had to stop at our usual Pho place and bakery in Irvine
