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!

Big girl ~ Day 6

Is just me or anyone else think that she is growing by the minute as well? She look like a baby no more even though she practically is, I mean she is not 2 until the end of november...

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!

Memorial Day

After Kathy and Rick left, Gracie and I went to a BBQ at Danielle's home with my mommy's group and then we went to Postino to met my good friends Lori and Brie.

We always have so much fun when we see our friends!

(Brie is not in the picture because she was late as usual, lol)

Spring Training '09

Spring Training is here!!!

Our good friends the Laudick's invited us to the baseball game, Dodgers vs White Sox @ Camelback Ranch the new stadium in Glendale, AZ.

The weather couldn't be more perfect! 85 degrees, sunny sunday!

We got to sit on the grass, drink beer, eat peanuts and a delicious rosted corn!

Jordin Sparks sang the National Anthem and just after she finished, 4 airplanes from Luke Air Force Base flew over our heads.

That was Gracie's first baseball game!!! She laid on the grass with the sun shade that Rob & Shawna had ready for her, that was a HUGE life saver since it was very sunny but she got a sun burn anyway. Poor baby, she was exhausted, slept in the car all the way home. When we got home, we gave her a bath, feed her and she fell asleep almost immediately. She slept straight from 6:30pm to 4:30am!!!

We had a lot of fun. Thank you guys, let's do it again!

New Look

Today we went with daddy to see Dr. Mike (Our chiropractor) because he really needed an adjustment. Dr. Mike said Gracie is such a beautiful baby!!!
Afterwards Daddy had to go to the college where he is teaching so we decided to go visit our friends Eustolia and Don Rafa, they are great people. Since their grand kids don't live in Arizona they decided to adopt our baby as a granddaughter.

Gracie got a new haircut today, she had this baby fur on the back of her head and we thought that maybe if we cut it, then it will grow evenly. She is an AWESOME baby!!! Seriously, I'm not saying this because she is my daughter, she really is. During the process she didn't cry not even once, she was so calm, smiling and waiting patiently until we were done.
This kid amazes me more and more every day.
