Gigi's 3rd Birthday

I can hardly believe that we have celebrated Gigi's birthday two times already! (She's three but we had her before she turned two). Boy time flies. It was so fun having all our friends/family hang out at the house celebrating her special day! She was in heaven being the center of attention in her cupcake dress, custom made by Grandma. Traci was the master mind behind the adorable cupcake theme making a happy birthday banner and "cupcake" party favors and our incredible neighbor, Auntie Dee Dee made the mini cupcakes and special huge Cupcake cake for her birthday. What an amazing outpouring of love this little girls was showered with for her special day.

She's One!

Grandma made special cupcakes for her very first Breakfast birthday party.


It's hard to believe that a year ago Greg and I brought home a beautiful tiny little baby girl straight from the hospital. We had no clue how long we would be the parents to this precious little one but we committed to love her as our own no matter how long we would be graced with her presence. Here we are one year later, with a spirited, loving little girl who brings us so much joy. Happy Birthday Baby!

Charthouse, Redondo Ca

So I finally had the time to upload pics from an old digital camera of mine from celebrating my birthday. Greg treated me all day long starting off with planning babysitters for the girls so he could take me first to get adjusted (everyone needs a little spine alignment now and then), massages, pedicures and a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean with my favorite food - Crab & Lobster. I've never been to the Charthouse in Redondo Beach... it was delicious food and the service was wonderful too. Greg requested a table looking out over the ocean. I forgot what it was like to have a whole day to myself ;-) Thanks honey for making the day so special for me!

The terribly terrific twos...

"G how old are you?"

Exuberantly yelled "T-W-O"!!!

And it only took two times singing the Birthday song for her to get it down pat. At night we can her her singing it to her self.

Oh to be two.

Feliz Cumpleanos Senor 33.....

So, I'm a bit late on this post but he deserves a shout out for his birthday and that's my main man, Greg. Aug 9th he turned thirty three and I always let him know the instant he rolls over to wake up on his birth-day that, yes, we are the same age...even if it is only for a mere two months.

Pastor Larry's 50th Birthday Bash

Last Sat. Greg and I celebrated, along with many others, Pastor Larry's 50th birthday. Deb did an amazing job transforming their home into the perfect setting to celebrate the occasion...it started off with valet parking, coat check, a catered dinner of prime rib and wonderful fellowship. It was an honor to be a part of the festivities. Happy Birthday Larry!

Puttin' on the Ritz

Yesterday I celebrated my 33rd birthday...it's crazy to think I'm in my thirties let alone working on my third year :-) I have to admit it though, I am enjoying this stage of my life or maybe I'm just in denial and trying to convince myself - he he... Greg and I ate a three course lunch at the Ritz. Amazing! Complete with Souffle' for dessert. Later in the day Greg finished an outdoor planter garden that I've been wanting to get working on, so that was a special treat! Here's to you mom... because really you are the one who should be celebrated on this day for what you had to go through to bring me into the world. I love you!

King for the Day...Happy Birthday Greg!

Meredith's Birthday

Friday night Greg and I helped celebrate Meredith's 29th birthday at Buca di Beppos. You can't really tell from the pics but girlfriend is just about ready to have her baby! She's due in 6 weeks and we can't wait to meet him :-) Congrats Mer Bear.

Billy's 15th Birthday

I can hardly believe that it has been 15 years since I first became an Aunt. I'll never forget the day Billy was born. We were all in the room together awaiting the Doctor's arrival, however, the doc didn't quite make it in time. Billy wasn't waiting for anyone. Out he came as the midwife asked my sister to help hand over different tools to assist in the birth. It was something else! I loved holding that little guy and watching him grow up and now he's taller than me. Just makes you realize you need to enjoy every moment with people b/c before you know it they're all grown up. Happy Birthday Billy!
