Weekend re-cap

What an awesome weekend!!!!

Saturday, I took the crew from Canada shopping....we bought a few things each at Mervyn's and JC Penny. After the malls we went to introduce them to In n' Out!!

On the way back home; we stopped by the barn to see Justin....I miss him!! I was so nervous driving there, but got over it. He was so dirty, so I took him out and brushed him with the kids and family! They gave him carrots - it was cute to see. I put 2 photo-magnets in Jim's locker as a gift. We walked around the barns for a little bit, then headed home to get ready for the party!

Everyone started to show up - the garage was PERFECT!!! It was an awesome setting and we got lots of photos between Michele, Me, Judi, Mom & Dawna! At about 7:30 we all headed down to Riptide and got sat right away. It was a perfect night!! I am so glad that Elena, My Dad, My Mom, Troy, Moira and the kids were able to come down! They all had a great time, too!!!

Thank you Steve, Michele, Greg & Dawna for the drinks!!! I didn't get too "sloshed" as I was on pain control and also didn't want to ruin my Sunday! I stuck to 2 Lemon Drop Martini's and a Royal (expletive here) Shooter.

After dinner; most of the people headed home, and we continued on in the garage. The kids all hung out, and we just had a great time talking!

On Sunday, My dad, mom and I walked down to Starbucks with Cola, and took photos on the way back. I want to make another brochure and add different shots to the cover. (..Oh - forgot to write that I made a photography service brochure - with Tammy's help from afar! ;-) I'll post it on here, so you can see!!! It's Christmas Card Season!!!)

We took my dad to the Airport on Sunday afternoon, then I drove my mom and Elena down PCH and stopped at Crystal Cove to do more photos and video. We went to dinner at Ruby's and just vegged at home afterward!

Yesterday, (Monday), I went to work, and my supervisor Rachel let me go at noon! Thank you so much!!! I was able to spend some time with Elena before we took her to the airport...we went to lunch at PF Changs in the Spectrum Mall - then shopped for a little bit.

After the airport, Mom and I drove to Disneyland and met up with Jeff, so that we could go for dinner with Troy, Moira, Hunter & Brooklyn at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney. It was perfect!!!!

Mom ended up spending the night with them at the hotel, so that she could go to the park with them today. They're going to do California Adventure Park today. The kids might sleep over at our house tonight as long as Troy & Moira say it's ok.

I love having my family down here!!! I miss them so much!!!
