Labor Day Weekend...College Football is Back!

Can you tell I'm just so excited?! USC plays it's first game of the season today at Virginia. The College Game Day crew picked them to win big over Virginia, but I just always get so nervous for the first game of the season. It's almost a whole new team out there, with a new starting quarterback, so you just never know. But it's supposed to be a great season again this year. Either way, I'm just glad college football is back, it brings a whole new meaning to Saturdays. Fight on Trojans! 

This weekend is also Labor Day weekend, which means Kelly and I will be going to the Orange Street Fair. We go at least one day every year with Lisa and Tim. They live close to the Orange Circle so they have people over and we walk down to the Fair. I may go tonight, but for sure tomorrow during the day, hopefully Kelly won't get held-over at work. If you've never been, you should go check it out. It's tons of yummy international food and beer, along with craft-type vendors. It's a great Labor Day weekend tradition. Happy three-day weekend everyone!

Happy Birthday Kelly!

Yes...Friday, Aug 15 was Kelly's birthday. I know I'm a few days late, but it's been busy. We began Kelly's birthday celebration by going to San Diego for 3 days. We went to a baseball game at Petco Park, spent the day at Sea World, hung out in the Gaslamp Quarter and even did some outlet shopping in Carlsbad on the way back home. And believe it or not, we even had time to relax and hang out by the pool. Then on Kelly's actual birthday, I woke him up with a birthday cake, we played mini golf and went out to dinner with Lisa, Tim, Alexis and Jake. All of that before Kelly had to go into work at night. See, I wasn't kidding when I said it's been busy. Yesterday my family got together, my Nino is in town, and we took family pictures with grandma. And tonight my mom is taking Kelly out to dinner for his birthday. I told him he's such a lucky guy getting to celebrate his birthday so many times! And in case you're wondering in the picture below...we don't count over 29 in our house.

Wake up...it's your birthday!

Weekend Wrap-Up

In case you read my last posting...almost everything panned out last weekend. The only thing that didn't happen was going to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Instead, I cooked with my Nina. I know...me cook...can you believe it?! But Kelly and I did go see The Dark Night and it was awesome, I liked it better than Batman Begins. San Clemente on Saturday was fun, although I forgot my camera again and burned the heck out of the back of my legs. Oh, and I got to see lil Jack (Ray & Jill's little boy) on Sunday...he is absolutely adorable! So overall, it was a great weekend full of things to do. Tomorrow Kelly and I are heading for San Diego for a few days to celebrate his birthday. I'll fill you in on our trip when we get back. Have a great week everyone!

The Weekend is Finally Here!

Thank goodness...it's been a helluva week! Between budget woes and a loaded council meeting, work was out of control this week. Even Kelly got held-over at work two days in a row. But the week is over and we have fun times ahead of us. Today we're going to have a date-afternoon to go see The Dark Night and have some dinner before Kelly goes to work. I'm also going to sneak in some birthday shopping for Kelly before he wakes-up. His birthday is exactly one week from today and I have no idea what to get him. He is the hardest person to shop for...the boy already has everything! Tomorrow we're taking the train down to San Clemente with Alexis and Jake, and their parent's too. It will be interesting since we're going right after Kelly gets out of work. The plan is for him to sleep on the train and on the beach. So that means I'm going to be on "sunburn watch." And on Sunday I'm going to go spend some time with my grandma and hopefully go watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 with Valerie and Robin. Sounds like it's going to be a fun-filled weekend...but I'll report back whether or not everything gets done as planned. Hope you have a great weekend too!

It's Been Busy...

I can't believe it's been that long since I've added a new posting. It just shows you how busy it's been! Work is out of control and last weekend was busy with two baptisms. Both Jack and Joshua got baptized last weekend and are now officially catholics. Jack's baptism was on Saturday and Joshua's was on Sunday. There were parties after the ceremonies, so it was nice to be able to see all the family. I posted some pictures below from both events. On Friday Carson had his little broken leg checked. It's healing, but not completely yet. So that meant he got a new soft cast and was grumpy the rest of the day. I'm sure he was looking forward to getting back to his old activities. But his new wrap is so cute!
