HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY GIANNA!!!!

We had such a fun time celebrating Gianna's 6th Birthday. It started on Friday with Brenna spending the night; we headed to Lampost Pizza where the girls had a blast "playing" the video games and trying to get candy from the "claw" candy machine. Saturday was the main celebration. Three of her little friends(Brenna, Ashlynn and Presley) helped her celebrate at the Tea House at Los Rios. Geoff and I discovered this tea house when we first moved to Ladera Ranch. It was so cute to see these girls drinking their "tea" (apple juice and lemonade) in their real tea cups. I had little teapot cupcakes and cupcake cookies made for each girl from Cinderella Cakes and they all loved all the icing they got to partake of. After tea we headed over to the little park next door where we used Gianna's new butterfly catcher to try and catch some butterflies....unfortunately they were all too fast for the girls. On Monday for Gianna's actual birthday we headed to....where else....Disneyland. It was Memorial Day so it was a little busy. For lunch we celebrated at Gianna's favorite Downtown Disney restaurand...Rainforest Cafe. I can't believe how time has flown by. Gianna has become such a bright, fun, caring little girl. We are amazed at how much she loves to read. She devours the Junie B. Jones books and loves the Josefina American Girl books too. We are so proud of her. Happy Birthday Gianna! Daddy, Violetta and I love you sooooooo much!!!

Happy Father's Day

One guess for what we did for Father's Day......it has become our tradition without really realizing it. Disneyland has become as part of our family as Christmas and mexican food. We did have a very fun day and the girls just love the time they got to spend with Daddy.

Happy Anniversary

So on June 5th Geoff and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. It was a very special day for us because we got to spend it witnessing my oldest nephew, Eric, marrying his lovely fiancee, Martha. It was such a beautiful day. It was so fun to be going through the whole feeling of getting married again without the stress that comes with planning a wedding. It was definitely the most emotional and romantic way for us to celebrate our anniversary by welcoming such a great couple into the world of marriage. We wish them as much happiness as there is possible and we are looking forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with them. To my wonderful loving husband I thank you for all that you have done for us. I am looking forward to many more years of love and happiness with you. You are my heart and soul.
