Night out

Having my mom living with us is a blessing that allowed us do things that we couldn't do unless we could afford a 24/7 babysitter. Thank you Mommy

Last saturday we went to a mistery play @ the Higley center, David is a member of the board so we got the tickets for free & who can say no when you have a babysitter & free tickets? I know I can't ...


The play name was Who shot the sheriff? and everyone was encouraged to wear western attire, of course I have nothing western in my closet but with the help of my wonderful friends I got some hats & boots for me & David. Thank you wonderful friends.



David's boss & some of his coworkers were there as well.



We had so much fun, mostly when they had to play the robbers and David forgot to steal the money from the bank owner, that was hilarious!




My handsome robber

Dinner was great, company was great, spending time together just the 2 of us, priceless!!!

Happy Fantabolous Halloween Weekend

Halloween is over! ::sad face:: 

It was the best thus far ....  full filled with all kind of fun activities starting with a kids Halloween party ... it's so cute to watch the little ones wearing their customes, getting together with good friends, eating all kinds of fatty food & sweets.











We also went to see an amazing Haunted Pirate Ship, my friend's neighbor builts this ship every year for Halloween & only let go in people he know, we were really lucky that Ana is his friend so we could go inside. Just let the pictures do the talking!

Awesome!!!
















Friday night I went with my friend Sonya to a Halloween party, it was very nice to hang out with her :)

On Saturday we took Gracie to a local church Halloween festival, Gracie was acting up about everything so we were there just a little bit, the only thing she liked about it was the petting zoo.








We went home to take a nap & get ready for the adults party, it was a couples costume party & it was the best party ever!!!

I was a witch & David was Dracula!



We had a great time!!! but oh boy I was tired on sunday, David went to play golf, my mom, Gracie & I went to have lunch and then went home to take a nap to be in a good mood for trick or treating!!!

My super girl woke up in such a good mood, we got her costume on & went to buy more candy to be ready for the trick or treaters ...



It was a great! We went to more houses this year that she is bigger, she is a pro now asking for candy. She kept saying "more, more", "tatiuuu" & "grashias" @ every single house we stopped. David stayed home to handed out candy & we and some friends took the kids around our neighborhood.




It was a busy, sweet & perfect weekend!

Hair cut day

After a nice playdate with good friends & a delicious lunch we took Gracie to get a hair cut, it was actually just to trimmed her bangs. She hates to have her hair touched, there are battles everyday at our house when we try to get her hair done, she just doesn't tolerate it. That kind of makes me sad because she has tons of super cute headbands, hats & clips but she just doesn't wear them unless I make her & that my friends is not fun at all.

We went to the same place we have been going since her first hair cut just to find out that the lady we like doesn't work there anymore, oh my! I was really nervous & worried mostly about the new lady because Gracie really gets out of control if you touch her hair but in all everything went "smooth" (except for a moment that seemed to last an eternity, see photo #3)









At the end Gracie was very happy because Daddy showed up to surprise her!

Climb to conquer cancer

Yesterday David, Gracie & I went to American Cancer Society 5k walk at South Mountain.

We had a blast!!!

David is a graduate of the University of Colorado & the Alumni Association here in Arizona organized a group to do the walk.

The morning was very cold and windy but all of us were in such a good spirits that we didn't care. Even Gracie was really happy to be outside looking around and playing with the dogs and waving a the other people that came to the walk.

We wore proudly our Buffaloes shirts!!!

We made it to the top!!!

We did this as a tribute to David's mom, my grandma Manuela, my friend Susan's mom & Karen W.!

We had a wonderful day making new friends & walking for such a great cause.

I'm so proud of us!

Happy Weekend

My sister in law Marsha came from Colorado to visit for the weekend, we have a full filled days with fun & food & workouts & Zumba classes & much much more.

The weather in Arizona is GORGEOUS this time of the year!

Saturday

We went to get haircuts & after that evening I went by myself to met some friends at the 5K Skirt Chaser run, when I got home David cooked a delicious steaks on the grill, we had dinner and then I went to my friend Beth's house to watch a movie (Whip it - Excellent, 100% recomendable)

I love my new haircut!

My good friends Lori & Beth

Sunday

We spent Valentine's day at the Peach Blossom Celebration @ Schnepff Farms. They had tours to the orchards where you can see the blossoms, a petting zoo, train rides & off course peach pie ( We didn't get to eat it since we had brownies, cookies, cheesecake, etc ...) but it looked delicious. :)

I took some pictures, Gracie fed the animals at the petting zoo & after that we went home to take naps to get ready to go to the gym, David & Marsha to play tennis, Gracie to play at the childcare center and me to get some very much needed exercise.

# Sunday Funday #

We were busy busy this weekend, yesterday was David's birthday so we went to have dinner on friday night to one of his favorite places in town called Native New Yorker, we came home to put Gracie on bed & then we watched our favorite show Entourage.

Yesterday we had breakfast & after that he went to play golf as my surprise birthday present, he loved it! After his daughter, his wife (of course) & his dog he loves golf more than anything so I was happy that he got to spend his birthday doing something he loves.

Speaking about birthdays, it was Jr's birthday as well, he is now 4 years old or 28 doggy years.

Happy Birthday to my boys!!!

While David was golfing, Gracie & I went to the park with our friends Jenni, Jer & their adorable little girl Evie, we played on the sand, on the swings, running on the grass, we had a blast!!

Gracie was so exhausted after all that playing that she went to bed at 6pm and woke up this morning at 8am!!!

Today we went to the Chocolate Festival, I would say it was OK even though I would have loved to get more free samples.

Gracie & I share a gigantic Turkey leg, it was yummy!!!

After the festival we came home to take a nap and get ready to watch the Superbowl. I really wanted the Colts to win just because the Saints beat the Cardinals!

The Saints won the Superbowl but I would care less!!!

Blah! I'm just documenting. ha ha

Overall we had a great weekend!!! Looking forward to the next weekend when my sister in law is coming to visit. It's always fun when she is here.
