7th Wedding Anniversary

Had brunch at Von's but first the iced tea needed a bit more sugar.
Now the boys needed a bit more sugar.
Getting all sugared up. they liked the raw crunchy sugar.
After eating and shopping of course Sol found the airplanes.
self portraits.

My favorite chocolates.....
and Gabo playing dress up made my day pretty perfect.

Oops

Gabo woke up the in the morning and i think had a mesquito bite on his eye lid. looks bad but it didn't seem to bother him. poor think looked like someone punched him.
Eye and all, Ji money and nephew getting the hang of the Wii.

The big day. Getting Ji-money to work. They filled quite a few water balloons.
Mario found this big huge spyder in the bookcase. he was screaming so the kids and i were screaming. i ran to the dishwasher to get the glass jar and caught it. Way to big for my taste.
Birthday cupcakes.....
The cake with a Transformer on it. Turned out pretty cool if i do say to myself.
Time for the big song and dance!

Cheese!
Ez waiting for the balloon toss. He was dressed for the part!
After the attack. The adults got in on the fun too!
Ji-money and grandma J had a big surprise for the birthday boy! oh, finally he's got the Wii. He was so excited he couldn't believe it.
They had fun testing it out the next day!

Makeup time baby!

Good times hanging out all day but now it's time to get ready for the show! What a beautiful dress!
We got to Ray's a bit early. Go figure. We're in my car just hanging out and retouching the makeup and hair.
We were hanging out at the purple cow and the owner was unloading some stuff and was looking at us funny!
No lipstick on the teeth ma!
My boys and the flower girls were just cutting the rug.

Happily married.
Say cheese!

Wedding Prep

It's all grandma's fault. Little ginseng face mask. It didn't taste very good but anything to look good for the wedding.

Look at them meat balls!
The groom's making an announcement.
Gabo couldn't stop looking!

Heading to Vancouver BC

But before that....Mario was teaching Gabo how to stir up some smoke with the magnifying glass. yikes....


On the USA side the line was a bit long so CT and I jumped out of the car and ran down a hill to the Texaco where we found corn nuts but no Inquirer or any type of magazines. What to do?

Good old peach arch.
While the mamas were headed north. My boys ended up at the beach having dinner and waiting for the sun to set! Sweet!
Good end to a good day. Boys weekend here we come!
