Ugh, it's been a long time, no exaggeration here. If you hadn't noticed I've neglected this blog, but as of this week I am no longer an FB stalker. I decided I better keep this blog up, so my family and friends don't think I've abandoned the 21st Century altogether.
So, here is a quick photo catch up to what's been going on with us.
Damon grew a beard last year. He actually kept it for awhile and then one night... Bam! It's a mustache. Thank goodness he only kept it for a few hours. Some people hate his beard, but really I like it. Especially if my choice is between a mustache or a beard. BEARD! please.
We went to D-land with the parents and sisters for Ma and Lil' C's birthdays. It was so much fun. Colette was almost tall enough to ride Indian Jones, but there was a height guard and he just would let her pass. But where one door closes another... She was tall enough to ride EVERYTHING ELSE. We road Splash Mountain as a family and She and Dad went on Space Mountain.
This year I was blessed to get several tickets (with my work) to Lakers, Kings, Ice Skating, and tons of fun events at the Staples Center. We had a lot of fun taking new friends and long time friends. This game was the night before Christmas eve and the last day of work. It was a great night before the holidays.
For my 29th birthday Jarom and Roxy brought Sarai down, well it just happened to work out that way (they had other things to do), but I'm glad they came. It was so much fun to see them and to see Sarai. Those are the birthdays I love... family and fun. Perfect.
My babe planned the best Valentine's Day ever. We were trying to avoid L.A. traffic (it took me two hours to drive just a few miles), busy restaurants (President Obama was dinning in our area), and over doing a sweet holiday. So, we didn't make plans and this is what I came home to. Such a perfect setup, idea, and husband. Definitely feel like a lucky girl.
Girls day at the Santa Monica Pier. I got the sweet chance to hang out with Colette and my little friend D. We had McDonald's, took a few rides on the Meri-go-Round, road all the rides on the pier, and checked out the Pier Aquarium.
We live close to family here is L.A. and I love seeing them. We don't really get to get together all that often. I'm going to get to be a new Auntie again. Elaine is expecting a baby boy and we are so excited to have a new little rug rat to add to our family crew.
For our 1st Anniversary we headed up to Carpenteria for the day. We love this small town. It's perfect and a dream place to be. Beautiful beach, small town, good food. Love it. We headed up the coast a little further to Santa Barbara, but Carp is truly my favorite.
Damon has been watching tons of American Picker and found this thrashed chair on craigslist with the intention for us to fix it us ourselves. I talked him out of that and instead we got a great deal through one of his clients. Now we have a beautiful antique chair. we love it.
In our town of West Los Angeles we have one miniature golf place. It's in door and all lit by black lights. It's awesome. A day off from work and some Pikula's = a fun day of mini golf and good eats.
A cruise vacation to the Western Caribbean. We love it. So many sights, history, shopping, beaches, snorkeling, yummy food. It was an amazing and perfect time together. Favorite spot... The Mayan Ruins and Snorkeling in Roatan (look it up), AWESOME!!
I got to take Lil' C on her first hike. We went with some friends to the Malibu Gratto. It was a tough climb in some areas, but she did awesome and never complained about being tired till we were almost done (that's when I was ready to complain to) and it was getting hot in the afternoon sun.Such fun and special memories with my little sis.
Ethan and Bianca welcomed there sweet little girl. I get to meet her in July, but can hardly wait. She is so adorable already and in this photo she is only a few weeks old.
My two sweets.
Jarom and Roxy's little girl is crawling now and starting to stand on her own. I can hardly believe she's so big already.
Memorial Day in Ventura. Damon's family came up to go swimming. We love when both our families get together and the fun the comes with it. Here is Damon's Mom with our Little Miss.
Well that's a very quick overview of about 8 months. Of course there is more to come. Tomorrow night Dodger game, Saturday Family time, Sunday Father's day... needless to say much more of us to come.
