MJ

In honor of Michael Jackson's death I listened to a couple of my favorite songs this morning. Closing in at the top of the list are: "The Way You Make Me Feel", "You Are Not Alone", and "Pretty Young Thing". This is a picture of me at age two sporting my purple Michael Jackson shirt with my uncle's parrot sitting on my shoulder. I know this photo is a little fuzzy, but it was taken using my phone and then it was emailed to my computer- and yes, the picture was taped to my water cup. May he rest in peace.

three

As we are slowing moving things over from one apartment to another there are three things we are happy to check off the list today.



#1 At&t came over to finally fix the Internet. #2 We finally have cable television. #3 The maintenance man snaked the shower drain and now it's even more refreshing to shower to in the bathroom. It was the boys who handled everything today, I wasn't even home most of the morning, but lots of work got done. All of us are celebrating my relaxing and enjoying the Direct TV experience.

bowling

We went bowling last night with the work peeps, it was a fun times like always.
Above: Alesandra and I taking pictures while we are bowling. For some reason when we take photos together we can never take just one, we have to keep trying until we come out decent looking. Below: Lucy and I attempting to bowl at the same time, it did not make me bowl any better but it was still fun.

Above: Evelyn showing off her awesome follow through. Below: Elaina came prepared with her fancy schamancy bowling rag, embroidered with her name and all.

Below: A picture of all the girls from last night. The boys were left out, plus its not like they would have let me post them up anyway.
We went bowling at Oak Tree Lanes in Diamond Bar, it wasn't anything special-maybe a little bit too much of a dive, but the place held up. We had lots of fun playing pool, bowling, and stuffing our faces with pizza and drinks. Too bad I couldn't make it a full hang out night and played Nintendo Wii with the gang, maybe next time. We need to plan more events, it's always good times with this crew.

first time


This past weekend was very memorable for myself and my family. On Tuesday my cousin Eunice and I took our niece Paris and her son Noah to Disneyland. It was Noah's and Paris' first time at Disneyland! Thank goodness the weather was not gloomy out, it actually got pretty hot, because it was a beautiful day to take the kids out!
Above: Noah strolling through Disneyland with Mickey ears! Below: Noah and Paris riding the tram from the parking lot to the Disneyland entrance. Paris kept saying how excited and happy she was to be at Disneyland.


Above: Paris taking a picture of me while they played in the Toon Town Playground. Below: Eunice and Noah getting ready to ride Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Both the kids got a little scared of this ride because it was pretty dim inside, but it was still fun.

Below: Paris smiling with the fish in Toon Town.

Disneyland was fun with the kids, it was also different and interesting. There was a lot of walking, trying to keep the kids from wandering, complaining of the heat because we didn't expect it to be so hot out, carrying the kids when they got tired of sitting in the stroller, trying to keep Paris happy when Noah was being mean to her, explaining to them why we had to stand in line for rides, keeping them entertained while waiting in line to prevent them from whining, and worrying about them going to the restroom or being hungry. All those things didn't matter because it was so fulfilling watching Noah and Paris react with so much amazement and excitement for being at Disneyland. We definitely plan on taking the kids again maybe with a bigger army to handle the kids, we know it will be so much more fun!
