Bachlorette Party!!!
Rode up to the city in style, Amanda and Nina hooked it up with a SUV limo
We first had dinner at Asia SF, then of course dancing, dancing and more dancing!
Love you Tips!
Thanks for planning everything Mands and Nin!
Close friend Diana said, "you have 3 beautiful kids, loving husband, good career, girlfriends that love you and much more and the reason we both have such happy families is because we have such happy marriages" and that in itself is a huge accomplishment.
Cousin Tip said you get smarter when you turn 30!
Spa Day #2 was with Kay! Since, we are only ten days apart, we were able to celebrate together at the Lansdowne Resort in Virginia. The last time we had a joint birthday was when we were five :) After we got our massage and were waiting in the lounge for our facials, we were surprised with champagne, cake and the sweetest note from Tippi and Rick!
Isn't the cake so cute!
And on the actual day of my birthday, a crazy family dinner at Maggianos
Got to see some of the girls while I was in the bay. I was so excited...Loan got me and Di Sprinkles cupcakes for our birthdays...Tyler and Ethan helped us blow out the candles.
Jayson loves his new ears!
sent from Auntie Aubrey along with some other fun stuff
The girls dancing to their bella cheerleading video. Outfits also provided by Auntie Aubs previously
The girls also got a visit from their best friends from southern CA. They got to have dinner and go swimming with them.
Dinner at Chilis for Jayme's school fund raiser. She loves ribs!
They played every single carnival game...twice!
Ate way too much junk!
especially this guy
Fun EOM March stuff included putting up Jayson's new bedding. He loves his new digs, Thanks to Auntie Gina! When we found out NBA bedding exists, we had to have it, or let's say Jay had to have it!
Girls night with the gang from work which was basically a girls pig out and a movie. We had a sausagefest, Filipino Longanisa vs. Portuguese Linguica, along with salad, wine and cheese and Shrimp Mozambique. For dessert chocolate fondue and smores.
We really did cut and use this 10 pound chocolate bar!
Fondue night with the girls was a success, I had to do it at home with the family. Jayme and Jaylin had a blast dipping their fruit in chocolate, who wouldn't right? It was yummy!
Jayson didn't care for fruit, he wanted marshmallows!
This month, we went to Social House at Treasure Island.
We had the pleasure of sharing date night with our local Las Vegas buds, Dale and Darlene. The chance to catch up with friends and eat in peace is always very fun! Afterwards, we strolled through the new Palazzo hotel and went to check out the 40/40 club for a drink and pool. Overall, Social House is more atmosphere, the food was good, but not worth the mons. I'd rather eat Japanese Teppanyaki or sushi from Makino, where there is more selection of rolls and it's all you can eat for half the price :) A 4 in our book, but the quality time with friends is priceless of course!
Sashimi with Jalepenos was delish. Jay must have been really outgoing or inspired that night, because it was his first time to try raw food, and he actually liked it.
The sliders were okay, but the onion rings were the best part
After Church, we had brunch at Brio Restaurant. Jayson wasn't too excited about taking a picture with daddy.
My easter bunnies decorated eggs at Lola's house with the help of Auntie Dee, Aunti Nin and Auntie Tip and Uncle Rick who were in visiting from San Jose.
Jayson didn't do much decorating, just wanted to eat and throw the eggs
Jay went to NC and KY for work this month. So, when he got back he took us on a last minute road trip to the SoCal for some family time. Went went straight to our old home, Laguna Beach. The girls loved it!
Jayson was a little scared of the water, but liked playing with his toes in the sand
The kids were very busy , very relaxing for mommy and daddy to have them all in once place, playing nicely
Jayson helping daddy dig Jayme a hole
Buried in the sand
After the beach we went to our old hangout, Irvine Spectrum. Jayson loved the merry-go-round and actually got to ride a real pony at Irvine park the next day, but of course I did not have my camera.
After the merry-go-round and dinner, the girls listened to music outside and suckered daddy into buying them Elina's CD, an independent singer/songwriter. Her music is really fun, Michelle Branch type music. The girls new favorite song, "Speak to My Heart," track 1.
The boys at work took Jay to Fat Tuesday in Planet Hollywood for dollar shots. We all had shots and Jay had Jello :)
Then Diablo's after for more fun, Thanks for planning Rico!
