deGuzman party of five

Girl's Day and other Fun Days

Jay had a nice idea of starting "Girl Day" so me and the girls spent one weekend afternoon together, he probably just wanted to get rid of us for a while :)

started off at starbucks, toy dog in the middle is Salsa

then did some shopping...found these super cute dresses

then took them to eat...It was a nice afternoon without the boys despite all the bickering these two do and me threatening to take them back home if they didn't behave!

Other fun times include playing at Town Square

Zoe's birthday party

And visiting with Christian and Ava...Jayson tore up their house and beat on the kids, so I doubt we'll be invited back anytime soon....haha!

Mermaid in Las Vegas

we heard that local hotel, the Silverton had a cool aquarium

and a Mermaid, so we had to go! I have to say it was pretty cool, there is this mermaid that swims around and plays with the kids through the glass, like peek-a-boo

or having the kids put their hands against the glass

then she finished off with a spin...even though the girls new she wasn't real, they still loved it and thought it was very cool...I did too :)

Labor Day Weekend

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!

8 year anniversary

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

What will they be when they grow up...

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 :)
