March showers

March has been a month of celebrations. Love is in the air and therefore showers for the brides. We showered my friend (and long-time hairstylist) at the end of March. Her and her fiance Dean are honeymooning in Paris...oooh la, la!
Amber and I, on a good hair day...thanks to her! :)
Dean and Amber. Her shower was girls only the first few hours then the boys met us afterwards and it turned into a happening party
She made the BEST Saketinis
Dano and I with one of Amber's bridesmaids, Natalie
The next day it was off to the bridal brunch my mother in law to be planned for me. All my hot friends helped me celebrate! Annie, Moi, Kim and Monika.

FREAKY TIKI BDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANO!
It was a beautiful day March 22nd, even at the dusty RACETOWN track...
Even though it started out with Dano having to work on my bike... a bike in need of work brings all the boys to the yard...
And then Dano spent some time teaching our friend Marlon how to ride... Well, we were both pleasantly surprised how QUICKLY Marlon picked it up! He had it figured out in no time and was doing laps on the track with the "big boys"
Marlon, Tati, Junko and Chris. The usual WINDY rest session...
Me and my Moto Power Rangers. Cold beers were in order. We are after all, CELEBRATING a bday!
We went home, went in the pool and jacuzzied before gearing up for a night out at the Tiki Bar...
Even IVAN showed up to Mai Tai -one on!
My little brother and my man
Finally! Heather and I get to play...(Heather is John's wife) and Dano asked John to be his best man tonight!

Note Doug sneaking my sweet potato fries... no wonder I was still hungry!

Heather, Tati, Nancy and Leslie, the Bday girl!

We hardly EVER kiss Dano and Marlon's "Blue Steel"
"Album Cover"
"Magnum"
Dano's "Mai Tais make me happy" face and Marlon's "This guy's totally cute" face
Wait... should I be separating you two?
Dano and Mommy. Ohhhh. Your little boy is all grow'd up!
Nancy, Heather and I....
Thank you everybody that came to celebrate with Dano and Leslie! We had a great time! Happy Birthday baby!

Happy Easter

I think this one deserves a true "OH. EM. GEE."

Hope all my "peeps" had a Happy Easter!

Dano's last "thirty-something" Bday

So here's the plan for Dano's Bday on Saturday, March 22nd.

RIDE MOTO at RACETOWN from 9am -2pm. http://www.racetown395.com/

(yes, these times are approximate)


Then regroup later around 7ish at SAM'S in HUNTINGTON BEACH http://www.samshb.com/ for cocktails, pupu's and lavas. If you can't make the riding, we'll just see you at SAM's!!!

And for those of you that may not know, Dan shares his birth day with his sister, Leslie. So it's Happy Bday to Les too! Aloha. Let's party and get l'eid.

Man...I love this stuff...

Dano gets high...at Castillo Ranch last year


I like these pics of him. Even more than our posed engagement pics. ..Which are now up on our "Tying the knot" BLOG!

Someone STOP time. Please.

Did anybody notice where January and February went? When did March get here? I can't believe how fast time is flying by! Every time I see a new picture of my niece Nevaeh, she looks older and wiser. Well, she definitely knows how to work you. She's irresistible... And her baby sister, Eden is already W-A-L-K-I-N-G! They are amazing. As I'm sure all of you that have nieces and nephews or your own kids already know. Every time I spend time with them I ask myself..."OMG...was I this smart?" "Did I know how to do this or that at THIS age?" Eden just strolling around...chasing after them is good exercise! Ok. I may be biased, but I think these win the "Sweetest Daddy-Daughter pics of the year."

Nevie and Mommy
And THESE...might just win the "Cutest family award!"

I love the girls. And my little brother. Who's not so little... Everyone! Take note! It's IVAN's 30th Birthday next month...

NO wonder

No wonder my nieces are so stunning. THIS is their mommy and Daddy.
Good Genes, anyone? These good genes look great in ANY Jeans.
