Just a good time

Last night was a night of fun with Amy, Corie, and Brent. It was our little time to drink and have fun before the wedding, since I won't be going to Cabo for it. SO, we needed a night of drinking margaritas. Brent is Amy's good friend and he was willing to be our designated driver. Mom and Dad were going to watch the girls while we did this.

Mom came to pick the girls and I up at 5 from our house, so Brent could drive me home after. Brent came driving up in his cool red convertible BMW. We were going to be riding in style. Of course we had to have the top down. So, we piled in, Amy in her scarf so she did not ruin her hair. Off we went to go pick up Corie and then off to the restaurant. We get our huge margaritas and start to get a little silly. Amy knew the bartender, so he made us good drinks and gave us a free shot. Amy was pretty looped, which was why we came out. Corie and I were feeling good, but not as silly as her.

On the way home, top down of course, freezing our butts off, Amy and I were in the back singing at the top of our lungs No Doubt. It was just like being in the dune buggy. SO much fun.

Oh, Brent gave Amy and Snuggie as a gift. SO, I was wrapped int he snuggie in the back seat. Again, pretty funny.

So, I'm going to miss all the drunken days/nights in Cabo for the wedding, but this was a good substitute.

Mother's sday

Mother's day was fun. In the morning the girls and I went down to visit my grandma down in the facility where she lives. We stayed for a brunch and then went home. Mom, dad, Matt and Amy joined us too.

Later in the afternoon we went over to mom's for a bbq. Hung out in the front yard in the wonderful weather. Gotta love southern California. It was a fun mother's day!!

Week 2 and I'm on a roll

Today I went for my week 2 weigh in at Weight Watchers. Iti's ALLLLL GOOODD! I lost another 2.2 pounds, which makes 4/2 in two weeks! Even after a wild fun weekend in San Diego, I pulled it off! When I"m home I drink water like it's going out of style, so I think that might help. Hey, whatever I'm doing, I'm doing right. If I can keep this up I'll meet my personal goal in no time. Pre-Pregnancy clothes, before Mary, in the attic here I come!!
So, I was all stoked after that and went o Kohls to see what I could find to spend my mother's day money on. I need to find some shoes to go with a dress I have to wear to a wedding in 5 weeks, so I went straight to the shoes. I found two pairs that may work on sale. Then I went to the purses. Found a cute Vera Wang purse 1/2 off. Off to the register. I have an extra 15% off coupon for everything, so I'm thinking this is good. So, for two pairs of shoes and a purse it was only $60. Rock on! I've never spent more than $12 on a purse, so I am pretty happy to have a designer purse that was only $23!!
It's starting out to be a good mother's day weekend. We shall see what the rest of the day brings. It's only 12:00 on Saturday and we are now off to a one year old birthday party in this great weather.

Hand Doctor

Today we went to the Pediatric Surgeon to see about Teresa's fingers. He, like everyone else, has not seen a case just like this. He examined her whole body and looked at the x rays we took. He says there is nothing he can see why her fingers would not bend in that one knuckle on all 8 fingers. It most likely has to do with the bone, but since she is still so young and developing he cannot give a reason why. He told us we have to wait 5-10 years to see how things go and what happens. See if it prevents her from doing any daily activities or sports. He does not want to do any surgeries on her since he is not exactly sure what it is. From what his field is, he does not have the answer. He is going to refer us to a Genetics Specialist next. He says they know other thing to look for that he would not that could be the answer to something else. So, now to wait for another referral and to make another apt to see another doctor. Until then we are to do our own physical therapy with her to move her fingers, which we do. Thankfully it is not something she notices or hurts her.

Growing Up

On Sunday, on the way home from San Diego, we stopped at Suzanne and Greg's for Anna's first birthday party. They live in Riverside, so it was so nice it was on our way home from San Diego. It was such a fun afternoon. The sun was out and Mary was able to go in the pool. I went to high school and CCD at church with Suzanne.

THis is Anna eating her cake. She was more interesting in playing with it than eating it. That will change soon.

Anna is such a cutie.

Mary and daddy playing in the pool. She had so much fun playing with the other kids. Such a fun day.

This weekend we had a fun family get away. We went down to San Diego to visit our friends Sal and Steph. Sal is Kevin's friend from high school. They are our good friends. We went down Friday afternoon, as soon as Kevin could get out of work. We arrived just as Teresa started to SCREAM for her bottle.

This is their new dog, Holly. She is a grey hound. The sweetest dog you could ever meet. We loved her and she loved us. The whole time we were there she layed down and slept. Mary was able to love her too. Except one time a little too much when she was picking at her paws while she was asleep. Well, Holly didn't like that too much and snapped at her and left a couple marks on her forehead. Mary was totally brave and never shed a tear. Aunt, Doctor Stephy took great care of her and made her feel so much better. She alive and well.

Uncle Sal gave Mary a Popsicle for being such a great girl while we went to dinner.

Aunt Stephy is the best, in Mary's words. We'd ask her who was better, Sal or Stephy and she'd say Stephy every time. Poor sal. He's her godfather and all. And he ran around with her like a mad man, but Aunt Stephy is still the best in her world. = )

This is Teresa taking a nap on the couch. Bird squacking to her right and mary running around her, and she's asleep like a baby. Awww.

This is Gabrielle (left 4 years old), Mary, and Vincent (right 5 days younger than Mary). These boys are Stephanies's sister's kids. They are the cutest boys. Mary will date one of these boys one day. So we hope. Mary had a gerat time playing with them. It was so much fun to see them playing.

We left about 10 on Sunday to get to a birthday party. We had a geat weekend. Relaxing to have others want to play with the kids. We with we lived closer.

week one

Well, today I went to Weight Watchers to weigh in for my first week. Tomorrow will actually be a week, but we won't be here for me to go weigh in, so I went in today. Well, the weekend didn't start off so well having bbq pizza and lotsa drinks and then to mom's for ribs and munchies. I fought to try to be good for the rest of the week. Well, it paid off!! I lost 2 pounds in the first week. We'll see if I can keep it up, but 2 down and 28 to go! This weekend we're off to San Diego so we'll see how well I can do it and if I gain it back. We shall see. Gotta hve some fun, don't ya think?!
