Kenny's 28th Birthday Bash

This Memorial Day was different from any other that I have celebrated with my husband. For one, we had Kalani this year which was a first! But, usually we have a big party because it's my Dad's birthday May 27th and Kenny's the following day. This year I didn't even get to see my dad on his birthday, which was sad. We still had a big bash for Kenny though! The party was my gift to Kenny since we bought a new car this weekend and because we've really been trying to save as much money as we can! So because this was my gift to him I wanted to make it absolutely perfect! On Friday after work I went to Winco and did the grocery shopping for this Mexican BBQ that I was attempting to pull off! Everything was made from stratch! I wanted to put everything I had into it! I made Carne Asada Tacos, Chicken Tacos, Black Bean Salad, Guacamole, Salsa (my mom made this), and of course Cupcakes!

Cup Cakes

The Bbq went great! Everything went as planned and the food was amazing! It was great to see all of our family and friends in one place. We of course had to watch the UFC event that was on and the fights were pretty good!

After the Bbq and the Fights were over Kenny and I decided that we were going to hang out with our buddy Justin and have a bon fire over at his place! We were out until 2am, which is very unlike me and Kenny, but it was so fun to get out and party a little! We hung around the fire, drank a few beers, Kenny played Flip Cup which was very entertaining to watch, not to mention Kenny explaining to his teammates how to win! LOL! He's quite the comedian when he's had a few! You could tell he was having a good time!!





Memorial Weekend was a success! Hope you had a magical birthday Husband! I love you!

My First Official Mother's Day



Anticipating Kalani

 Mother's Day this year was different, I am now a mother! Honestly, I forgot that I would be included this year! I was so busy thinking about my mom and Kenny's mom it totally surpassed me that this year it was me that was going to be celebrated! LOL!
The gift of motherhood is unbelievable and honestly I feel that I am thankful every day for it! When I was pregnant I knew that I was going to love my son but you really have no idea, the over flowing love you have for this little person. I'm away from him for mere hours and I can't wait to have him back in my arms!


Kalani & Me 5/7/11

 This year my son and husband completely spoiled me and surprised me on Friday with beautiful flowers, a CD that I wanted, and a wonderful card! Not to mention my husband took me out on date night! Kalani had a cold so the rest of our weekend was filled with family, runny noses, boogie wipes, and lots of cuddling!


Me & My Mama



Being my first Mothers day I wanted to touch on what my mom means to me. She is my best friend, we talk about everything. She is always there for me when I need her. She is that voice in my head that is telling me to choose the right path. I want to be that for Kalani, I want to be his rock. To me Motherhood is such a blessing and should not be taken for granted. The day Kalani was born was one of the happiest days of my life! I will forever treasure that day! So even though Mother's day is to appreciate all that we do as mothers it should also stand as a reminder to us how blessed we are that God has given us these wonderful gifts, our created miracles.

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family! Enjoy your miracles! Sending Love...
