Bday 2008

For my 2008 Bday, I spent it with my fave peeps. Dinner at Elephant Bar...and National Cabrillo Monument. It was such a gorgeous day at National Cabrillo Monument. Thanks to Destin for his near cliff death escapade! Thanks to my indoor sister for not complaining about the outdoors environment. Thanks to Tiff for those fun uphill strides to the lighthouse. Thanks to Brit for loving every new discovery. Fun coastal ride up and down the coastline.

Dad's 53rd Bday!

Today was Dad's 53rd Bday. My sis and I are taking him out to DIM SUM/LUNCH this weekend. In the meantime, I got him a Bday cake and this very beautiful purple orchid this evening. As soon as my dad sat down by the table, we see Mina running in and peering in through the glass door.

You can see the dog really wanting to be inside to join the fiasco.

So we let her in and here she is going "oouahhh, CAKE!!!"Dad had to restrain her a bit from taking a lick of the ice cream cake.Here she is looking a bit frustrated dad didn't let her have a lick!Mom decides to join in the fiasco. Can you tell Mina is flustered there's another WOMAN in the picture?Dad shoos Mina so Mom can sitMina, myself, and DadMom's happy because Dad finally blew out the candleA Bday Kiss for Dad!

Doesn't this face tell you what a kiss can do for someone?

Mom's superhappy because she can finally have cake!!!

August & Sept 2008 Bdays & Mount Soledad

Here are highlights from August & Sept 2008:

Chuom Chuom from Phuoc Loc Tho Santa Ana!! I believe they were about $30 a box. This is the Passion Fruit Vine my parents are growing Britney & Brenden had a joint bday party in August. Brenden turned 5 and Brit turned 9! We had two pinatas for each Bday kid. Brad is only 2ish and he's already learning how the pinata process works.


As you can see, Cau 6 was obviously the Pinata Stick Ambassador!
Mothers can be embarrassing at times...Like trying to sneak into the kids pinata line!




MOUNT SOLEDAD

Since Tiffany & Brit's parents and my mother went to a concert Saturday evening, us girls decided SAN DIEGO ROAD TRIP!!! It took us about two hours to decide on a location but it was well worth it! We decided to go to Mount Soledad. It was super windy up there but the view was SPECTACULAR!!!!
