Give me a "D"....

It didn't take us long to realize that any party for Diego was going to have to be a sports theme! So with some help of some great friends and Family this is what we got! People were encouraged to dress up in uniforms and be creative, they did not let us down!

A FUN SURPRISE AND FAMILY VACATION!

WE headed to Santa Cruz to Surprise My mom for her 50th Birthday.

Checking our bags. Job and Diego kept saying "I essited Mama!" (EXCITED)

Diego seeing if he could fit as a carry-on

Up top in Grandpa's new camper!

The van fit us all but since there were only lap belts and we didn't bring a base for Maggie's seat we couldn't buckle her in. So she was in her carseat on the floor of the van. And if any of you know about highway 17 (Old San Jose rd actually) then you know it made for an interesting ride!

So, with a little help from her boss, Grandma came down to the beach house thinking she was recording some license plates of possible drug dealers. Then "POP", we jumped up with party poppers and yelled "SURPRISED!" She had no idea! (sorry no picture, I was holding a kid and a popper)

After we settled in we hit the sand

Beautiful Santa Cruz Sunset. Cold, but beautiful!

Some beach fun


Job found a starfish, then had to pee.

So , Happy Birthday again Mom! Sorry you had to buy your own cake.

This was by far the best family Vacation so far. It was the first time we flew as a family of five and I was so happy that the kids did so well. They flew great, slept great, played great and it was such a joy to be with all my family for such a fun occasion. I hope this can turn into an annual event! Thanks Grandpa for setting it all up, see you both soon!

Book Em Danno...

She's FIVE-O!!
Can you believe it? 50 years Old Ladies and Gentlemen!!!! And she's not any average lady...shall we take a walk down memory lane?

Very Preggo with Me

Sunny bathing

Is this where I learned how to give such good kisses?

And how to shmoosh cheeks?

Gotta love dance routines in the middle of wrapping presents, and a break for another kiss

Surprising me for my birthday at preschool...so sweet!

A new beginning!

Gotta Love the 80's style!
Oh boy...Polka dots, high shorts, and a sports bra as a shirt! Where's the fanny pack?

My Motorcycle Mama
Twins?

Adventure

You are always with me for my biggest moments, here on my 21st Birthday and engagement night

You and Randy still know how to have fun, and show others what being in love is all about

You can conquer anything you set your mind to, here after your 50mile bicycle race in Mexico

Taking after your hubby, but not because of your hubby, and becoming a police officer, who would've thought?

And excelling at being a Grandma!







Thank you for all you have done for me and my family! You have been a fantastic Mom and friend. I would not be here if it wasn't for you, your dedication, hard work, and love. So here's wishing you many more years full of fun, excitement, and surprises! We all love you so much!

Happy 50th Birthday!
