Mother's Day 2012

Mother's Day ended up being perfect. We drove to Corona to meet my in-laws for breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. We enjoyed a yummy meal with great conversation.  Mom P truly treats me like a daughter and I am lucky to have her as a mother in law. Not to mention she did a pretty awesome job raising my hubs.

Breakfast at Mimi's

After breakfast we drove to Annette and Steven's house for a Mother's day bbq. I had so much fun with all my cousins and Aunties. We made bath salts and wrote cool notes to our mama's. I love writing my mom notes because she always gets emotional. I was surprised that Dennis made me one from Micki...I loved it! Although I hated his drawing...in fact I was making fun of it before I knew it was me...hahaha. We missed Kitty but she threw out her back and was not able to make it. I cant believe next year I will be a mom!

We missed you Vero! 

Casa Gomez Baby Shower

My mami did not really want to throw me a shower...she would rather buy me everything I need instead of asking others to buy me gifts. I told her I would handle everything if she simply made the food. Honestly all I wanted was to get together with my Tia's and cousins for some fun girl time. I started coordinating a little with Karla we put it all together in 2 weeks. Invites and all! Wendy was super sweet to make some cute treats so we decided to go with those colors. I spent two weeks buying junk...haha see's pops,plates, napkins, table clothes, and soaps for prizes... I ordered some decor online and coconut pineapple cake at Susie Cakes (purchased by my sissy's). My sisters were in charge of appetizers and games. Which was perfect. That day was pretty chaotic since the party was suppose to be on the patio...but a massive storm cam in and the party moved to the living room. Karla and I scrambled to set-up and the boys even helped. Kitty showed up 10 before show time and still had to make her fruit salad. hahaha. It turned out looking pretty cute and quickly everyone arrived. I was so excited that ALL my Tia's came!! I seriously couldn't stop crying at first. I had so much fun playing games but especially hearing all of their advice. They all bought me such nice things. The only hilarious part is that my dad participated in the shower...hahaha. He did not want to leave even though we told him a million times! My mother-in law and sister in law came as well...I hoped they would not be overwhelmed with my loud Tia's haha. It turned out to be so fun and I my sister's did a great job organizing the games! Thanks to my sissy's and Mom for a wonderful afternoon. I know my mom was so glad we all got together!

Luis Miguel Concert with Diana

Mami purchased our tickets to go see Luis Miguel! It was so great Diana came from Oregon to stay for a for a weekend. We had a blast! We love Diana...please come more often!

Prima Cookie Party

Today was the Prima cookie party we had been planning for a while. Netis was nice enough to host and we all drove out to Corona. We planned this at her baby shower and despite everyone's good intentions we were missing 4 girl's...Vero (key lime was bad so she was upset), Gaby (was super sick), Ivette (had to work), and Sisca (had a work party). It is so weird to see that we are all growning up and are becoming our mom's! I love spending time with my cousins and sisters because it is so easy to talk to them and soo easy to laugh. I hope we do this again next year!

My 31st Birthday

My Tuesday birthday turned out to be pretty awesome! In the morning D brought me Starbucks, my students from last year baked me a cake, my crazy 4th period bought me a sweatshirt...specifically Kevin and Jimmy. Later that day I met Karla, Jacob, Leo, and my Mami at South Coast and we had an awesome dinner at Quatro Cafe. I shopped a while then I got home to some beautiful diamond earrings from my hubby! Happy Birthday to Me!

Vegas Vacation

We decided to take a Vegas vacation this summer after I finished my school year and before Dennis begins his new job. We purchased Garth Brooks tickets in February so we decided to make that an extended vacation.

A Breakdown of Vegas

Wednesday:

We made a few stops along the way and finally arrived at the Luxor. We enjoyed a nice dinner and hit the sheets pretty late!



Thursday:

Check-in at the Bellagio. We enjoyed the pool and an awesome sushi dinner at Yellowtail. We discovered a great little lounge with some yummy drinks!





Friday:

Spa for me while Dennis does homework (for work this time ugh!!) I cut my toe which ruins my day! We meet for dinner with Karla and Froy at the new City Center. We hit up the Gold Lounge after. We then head to Mandalay Bay to meet up with Luz and Mike and catch up with a ton of Murrieta girls!







Saturday:
Spa with Karla at Encore. Pool and lunch with Dennis which was so relaxing. We head over to the Wynn to pick up our tickets. We have dinner at a the bar at Encore and gamble with Michele, Cheryl and Becca. We go to Garth show. IT WAS AMAZING and we were only 3 rows back!!! We hang out with Froy and Karla the rest of the night.





Sunday:
Brunch at the Encore, Dennis wins back some money and then we drive home. Rest today as Dennis flies out to North Carolina tomorrow for his week long Orientation.

We had a great time in Vegas. As always we never seem to get enough alone time. I enjoy my time with my husband so much that I wish we would just slow down a bit and not worry about everyone else all the time.

Jesse's girls night

My little cousin Jessica is getting married next month. I felt so bad that I did not attend her bridal shower that I wanted to do something nice to get all the girl cousins together. I made yummy apps and the Gonzalez cousins and my sister came over. We sat around gave her advice about marriage....like..Be honest, Let him be the man, don't try to do everything, don't get worked up over the little things, don't go to bed mad, don't be afraid to ask for help. We all giggled and I guess reflected a little about our own married life. She is only 21 and said she was not scared at all. To make the evening fun I invited Mindi to host a Passion Party for us. She came with a suit case of goodies. We all laughed and turned red on occasion with all the toys, lotions, and vibrating thingy's!

We all had a great night and I was so happy that everyone came over! Congrats Jessie we wish you the best!

Karla's Birthday

This year Karla got a double celebration!Saturday we went out on double date to PF Chang's and Avatar we had so much fun. It is not often that my sister gets to go out alone, my three nieces and new nephew keep her very busy. She is one of my best friends as she is always there for me. I admire her positive, and caring spirit. She is so genuine and will do anything for family!
Then on her actual birthday Mom and sisters went to the Spa at South Coast Plaza. It was so amazing hanging out and chatting about everything. I even got to take a Krav Maga class, which was such a treat. Mom took us for sushi where we were all delivered 12 dozen roses by my little bro Jimmy. She also gave each of us a letter good for a shopping spree! We stayed for a little longer while the girls got their massages and then my mami treated us to another awesome dinner at Scott's. We had such a beautiful day.
Happy Birthday sis...I enjoyed celebrating as much as you!
