Jaq's 5th Birthday Party

I can't believe Jaq is 5. Jaq was born Sept. 23, 2003. What a great birthday party he had. He picked out a dinosaur theme. The best part of the party was when my 75 year old dad surprised Jaq by showing up as a clown. I think everybody had a great time. Some of Jaqs friends at the party included David George, Russell Thompson, Jackson Dearing, Brady Fox, Matty Alfano, and Quinn.

"Wicked"

What a Fabulous night!!!! Our Family took a trip down to Redondo Beach the last weekend in April to vist my very best friend Janee and her family. We got to L.A. Friday and the plan was to leave all our kids with the babysitter Saturday night so we could double date with Janee and her husband Wayne. Well, sometimes the best laid plans just don't work. Aubrey got the stomache flu Saturday afternoon so we had to cancel the babysitter. I was totally bummed because the plan was to stand in line at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood to try to win Lottery tickets to see the musical "Wicked". Dexter being the stud that he is said he would stay with the sick kids so we could have a girls night out!!!
The night was awesome!!! We got to the Pantages at 5:30 pm , just in time to put our names into the Wicked Lottery. Janee got called and she won two 25 dollar tickets to see the best musical ever!!!! So, since we had two hours to kill before the show we found a swanky sushi restaurant right across the street from theater. The place was amazing. The Sushi was out of this world and the entire staff and atmosphere was completely authentic.
Then it was showtime!!! I couldn't believe how lucky we were to win those tickets. A dream come true to see this amazing show on a night that started out anything but lucky. Thank you Janee for making my trip to L.A. so much fun.

Aubrey Turns 2

Happy Birthday Aubrey!!! Aubrey turned 2 on April 4, 2008. We celebrated by going to Letherby's ice-cream parlor. Letherby's is an old fashioned family owned parlor that has been around for a very long time in Sacramento. It was so cute to watch Aubrey blow out her candle and open her gifts. I was surprised how she required little or no guidance in opening her presents or blowing out her candle. It must be all the help she gets from her older brother. She got a bike, princess dress up jewelry, and a Dora hat from Nanny and Papo. She also got a Dora baby doll from mom and dad. It was a very memorable day.

Easter Sunday

Easter is my favorite Holiday. I love everything about it from dying eggs to the beautiful clothes. Most of all it's a wonderful time of year where we can remember the Savior and all he sacrificed for us.

A Great Day in Sausalito

What a beautiful sight of the Golden Gate Bridge! Dexter and I had an opportunity to take our kids to the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito, Ca. Most of the time San Francisco is cloudy and cold but on this particular day in March it was warm and sunny. The kids had a great time with all the hands on exhibits. We made lots of memories that day.

Girls Weekend In Tahoe

Here we are up in Tahoe!! What an amazing weekend!!!! The weather was a bit windy and cold but that definitely didn't put a damper on our fun. We shopped till we dropped and stuffed ourselves silly. Speaking of silly.... I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard that my stomache hurt!!!! What a great bunch of friends to spend the weekend with!!! The hat parade was definitely a lot of laughs!
