February Birthdays

The first time I met Valerie, she had me cracking up with one of her jokes. I have to say that she is just the same way she was about 15 years ago. Her excitement for those around her and her smile is pretty contagious. With the craziness surrounding each of our lives these past few years, its comforting to know that she'll always be there.

Since her birthday on Valentine's Day, she's had a few celebrations through out the month. We were finally able to celebrate her 30th with her on February 26.

Consistent with the theme HATS, I made some special red velvet cupcakes for the birthday girl. :)

The same night we headed over to V-Lounge in Santa Monica to celebrate another special 30th birthday.

Karen came all the way from NYC to party with old friends. We've known each other since back in the day when we were young at Mount Gleason Middle School.

Spring Training

My little family went on vacation this past weekend. Nacho visited his friends at Petsmart and Niner and I went to our third Spring Training in Phoenix. Our first game on Saturday was against the Indians at Goodyear Ballpark. There was a lot of action near the end when the Indians caught up and tied the game. There was a Mister Softee soft serve truck and Niner tried a Guinness Blondie at the beer cart. That is a nice ballpark and we had a cute time. I even got Ethier's autograph on our Cactus League ball. We had time for a nice hike and dinner after the game. Niner introduced me to Native American fry bread which was delicious. Sunday we started off with a nice brunch at Province downtown. The game was at the Dodgers' (and white Sox) Camelback Ranch. It was a hot, sunny day, but fun nevertheless. It was lovely to get away for the weekend and we did so much! Can't wait for baseball season to start! We got a mini season plan t

Memorial Day

At the Memorial Day Dodgers game with my love to end a lovely calm weekend. Thanks to those who have served and sacrificed for us, especially my Niner. <3

50 in Five

We've been busy over here, planning our epic road trip to all 50 states. We are quitting our jobs, packing away our stuff, and leaving in just less than TWO weeks! It's the trip we've always dreamed of. It feels so right. We asked my cousin at Lizzi Photography to take photos at our favorite local park to document this moment. It's so special because she knows me so well and knew my vision. Plus we've never had engagement photos done. We also used props we love and that have a story: a blanket Nan crocheted Niner, Auntie Cayo's cameras, my vintage suitcase called Bomanicious.. It was hard to choose, but here are some of my faves. Unfortunately, Nacho will not be joining us on our trip. Lucky for us, Moo has agreed to keep him for the five months; and he will have the best time there with his friend Teddy. Still, he couldn't help but join in on the fun and take photos with us! We are at 50infive.us if you want to
