UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES: July 2008

The week before we did a Surprise Bday for Aunt Liz's 38th Bday. She totally did not expect it and it was soooooo fun surprising her!!!!!! So Cau 6 called us a day before and said he wanted to do something for Aunt Liz so we said let's do a surprise Bday. Cau 6's plan to get Aunt Liz out of the house was so terrible...he was gonna take her to Aunt Nena's Place but he had told her he was working that day...so we suggested that he does what his family does on Sundays...which was attend Church services. We would get to his place and decorate and set everything else in the meantime. So Mimi, myself and Tiff arrived there around 1230ish to set things up. Cau 6 said he would leave the key for us but Mimi here...the "stressed-out-person" couldn't find it and when she did...could NOT open the door! Haha, so she turned to me and said,"OMG...it's not the right key...it won't open!!!" I took the keys and lo and behold I opened the front door!!! Miss Disoriented MIMI couldn't figure which key it was? There was the garage and two keys on it.. A masterlock key and a BIG Ole' key...go figure!?! Tiff and I had a laugh alright. So anyways we were behind bc Aunt Liz was gonna be home around 1pm so we called Cau 6 to stall and he did by telling Aunt Liz he wanted to go to Costco to get Ice Cream...I think Aunt Liz got irritated bc they were gonna go to Christian's house after church...where we they gonna put the ice cream? Anyways...Cau 4 was video-ing and Mom was hilarious. She kept peeking out through the curtains and bluffing us ladies that they were here. We were in the kitchen waiting to pop the confetti's when she came in. When they finally came home we didn't believe it my mom because she bluffed us so many times. So in comes Brenden 1st and my mom quickly grabs Brenden by the mouth to shush him up bc he was gonna scream and ruin the surprise. Celine follows suit and being that it was my mom...she headlocked Celine. She had both the kids in a headlock to shush them..Haha. it was hilarious!!! Aunt Liz finally walked in and SURPRISE!!! She was really surprised! Cau 6 comes running in yelling surprise, etc. and was so ecstatic that we pulled off the surprise so well! He kept kissing my sis, myself and tiff saying " your nieces did all this honey!!" I look over to see Ben scared and like whimpering...turns out he was scared by all the commotion. Poor baby! Brad was like way back in the hall just gazing at everyone...he had like no clue what just happened... hehe.

Here's some of the decos.

Can you tell what the theme colors were?

Here's us trying to kill some time waiting for Aunt Liz's arrival

Here's my mom going in for the "headlock!"

Can you see "scared" Ben?

Today's the 1st day (July 24) I'm on the Lingzhi diet. So far it's controlled my hunger. I have no appetite or desire to eat...even when dinnertime rolled around, I wasn't hungry but forced myself to eat at least a cup of food...so that I'm getting some nutrition in me. It has really curbed my cravings though. Hopefully I'll slim down. So far no side effects, no contispation like I've read about on the net.

Here are a few pictures of us at Di Thanh's 60th Bday. She looks young!

Let's see.. August 16th is my cousin' Brit's Bday party as well as Brendens...lots of summer bdays this year!!!! I so neeed to go shopping early since I'll be working a lot up till the party.

I just purchased PBN Talent Show CD. I really like the songs sung by the younger talented ones like Mai Tien Dung, Huong Giang, and Roni Tran. So glad I got new songs to listen in my car now!
