Jimmy Goes to Grad School

My Little Brother Jimmy is all grown up! It feels like just yesterday he was devasted about coming home from San Jose State after my Mami and Papi found out about bad grades, smoking , and a tattoo! He successfully completed his BA at CSULB and fell in love with Forensics. Ater working a year after graduation he applied to George Mason University in Virginia for his masters in communication. He will be working as a coach for the speech team. He will never know how proud he makes me and how blessed we all are to have him in our lives. He is going to miss Micaela and she is going to miss her Mimmy since he helped take care of her at my moms. I cant wait to see what his future holds. 

Last lunch to say good bye

Are you sure you want to leave me?

Goofing around at Open Sesame

So I guess I will have to play with this guy.

Leo, Max, and Sea Bass Birthday's!

Today Dennis and I drove to Murrieta to pick up Max and Paulie! Max turned 11 a couple days ago so we needed to celebrate with him. Paulie was at the mud run as he volunteers for the Murrieta fire department.

We left for Mulligan’s with Max! We had so much fun playing miniature golf. Then my mom arrived with the other birthday boy Leo and his girlfriend Caitlin. We drove on the go-carts played laser tag..then we headed to muy Tia Delia’s for Sebastian’s birthday party.

Sebastian turned 3 today! He is such a big boy already...people often think he is older because he is tall but he is still a little guy! He was so cute in his spiderman outfit!

It was nice to see all my cousins! We ate and then the surprise guest arrived. Spiderman…aka our cousin Victor. The kids loved it but the adults got a great laugh since the suit was way too tight for my cousin. Joaquin decided he would turn into the Hulk himself.

Max and Leo were pushing to go back to Mulligans so I gave in and we headed back for round two. We played another round of golf, spun around on the t-cups and played laser tag until we could not play any more! We finally dropped Max off and he went straight to bed.

I am so proud of my little nephew. We don’t spend that much time together so I rarely chat with him since he is a bit shy. He opened up a lot today and I got to see how much he is growing. He has a silly sense of humor, loves video games and talks about his brother Paulie a lot! Happy Birthday to MAX (11), LEO (17) and SEA BASS (3)!!!

Leo comes to Visit

I was so happy to have my little bro stay the night with me! Rockefellers, Beachcrusing, Beach. Breakfast with mami, and beach. He is growing up so fast and has been with Caitlin for a year now. He doesn't miss a beat and makes me laugh all the time. Love my little guy!

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!

Uncle and Nephew Play Ball

I can't believe Paulie and Leo had a scrimmage against each other this year. It was a mere coincidence but it made for a great excuse for the family to get togetehr and cheer for both teams! Pacifica drove all the way to Murrieta in scorching heat for more than a football game. The end result of this game would mean bragging rights for an Uncle or Nephew. It was a great game and I even got to see Mrs. Romero my old dance teacher! In the end Leo's team was the victor...but both of my boys played and made us all proud!
