Memorial Day Bike Parade

Christina had this great idea to decorate our bikes and strollers in honor of all the men and women who have given their lives to protect our country. We did a mile bike parade around our local park today. There were about 20 of us hopefully next year we can get more to join us.

Soccer Party

Saturday Alexys had her end of the season soccer party at Coach Reina's house. They had this great rock pool with the coolest slide ever! 6 of her teammates showed up and they had so much fun swimming together. They each got a trophy and a soccer ball to autograph. They all loved that!

Is this not the Coolest bike Ever!

They are giving two of them away on July 15th! Go here to enter!

What your kids do when you are on the Computer...

Alexys was doing crafts the other day. I don't know why I thought Samantha would be fine just hanging out with her. Little did I know that she was eating the water colors. When I looked over at her she was sticking her fingers in paints and licking them saying MMM. So thankful that these are non toxic!

VeGas BAby

Every year at the end of our bowling league we go to Vegas for our playoffs. Jenny and Martin always meet us there and we have the best time. It's usually the week after our Anniversary. So we always celebrate there. Jeff took us to this fabulous restaurant in Cesars called The Mesa Grill. It's Bobby Flay's Restaurant and it has the best food and drinks. I also got to visit with my best friend Judi and her daughter Kate. They have lived in Vegas for 15 years. I cherish every moment I get to spend with them since we don't get to do it that often. (Click on her name to see more of the weekend. ) We walked over to Bellagio hotel to see the flower garden's . By the way if you haven't seen them you have to go when you are there. BEAUTIFUL! This lady bug is all flowers. They had a frog and snail too that they were working on. Behind the flower garden is this scrumptious bakery. They say this chocolate fountain is the largest one in the USA. It was from ceiling to floor. I just wanted to open my mouth and drink it up! They also bake some of the most amazing cakes. This is not a great picture but if you happen to want one of these cakes they start at $5 k. This teapot one would cost you $7 k.

These are light fixtures in the lobby of the hotel. It reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They look good enough to eat.

Little miss Samantha just cruising the shops! She had a fabulous time too.

Mother's Day 2009

We had a fabulous day. My friend Christina and I started the morning off with some pedicures. We then took a drive to Oceanside Beach for a couple of hours. Her husband is in the Marines and on their base they have this awesome children's beach. The waves are very small for the little ones. My boys love climbing through the rocks searching for crabs and sand sharks. The girls had a blast finding shells and sea snails.

Drinks for the mom's!
