Visit from Nana & Papa
Last weekend Jen's parents came down to visit which worked out great because Kenny ended up having to work all weekend. It was so nice having them here so Van & I weren't all by ourselves. We had a great time just hanging out.

Van's 1st Visit to Disneyland
Thursday Van & Jen went to Disneyland to celebrate David's birthday. We had a fun time and Van rode on It's a Small World and Winnie the Poo. He really seemed to like Small World and enjoyed looking at everything. Can't wait to go back!

Go Big Blue!
On Wednesday night we went to see the Dodgers take on the Padres at Petco Park with Danny, Tonita and Isabella. Even though the Dodgers lost, we had a great time riding the trolley, taking the kids to their first baseball game, eating hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and ice cream (we bought all-you-could eat tickets) and just enjoying a great night out!
Thanks Nana for the great Dodger apparel! :)

Visit at Nana & Papa's House
A few weeks ago Kenny had a 6 day trip so Van, Pilot and I made a trip up to Leona Valley to visit my parents and Jamie, David & Jeffrey. Half way there, Kenny found out his trip had been canceled... he ended up picking up more flights which is good because I was not about to turn around a drive home!
We had fun and it was so nice to be able to be up there instead of home alone :)
Papa loved feeding Van!
Van LOVES Auntie Jamie
...and Uncle David too!
The cousins loved hanging out!

Thankful for...
Bad weather in Aspen on Saturday/ Sunday. Last weekend Kenny had another 4 day trip (he had one the weekend before as well). I was all prepared to sit on the couch and mope. Saturday night Danny & Tonita came over to keep me company and guess who ended up showing up as well... Kenny. The storm heading towards Aspen meant Kenny's trip got cut short and he flew home early and surprised me! Right before he got to the door, I received a cryptic text that read "Knock. Knock" and was so excited when a few seconds later he was really knocking at the door :)
Parents who love each other and have fun together. Mom & Dad are on an Alaskan cruise right now celebrating Mom's birthday. Today they are in Juno and said that the weather is beautiful! Just like we did in China, Mom & Dad are breaking away from the cruise tours and renting a car to head out on their own. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree :) It is so great to have parents who really enjoy spending time with each other and are best friends. Hope you guys have fun today!
Aunts & Uncles & Cousins for our little guy. It is going to be so much fun having so many people around who love us and our little boy. Auntie Jamie & Uncle David are getting things ready for our Big Baby Bash next weekend... I can't wait to see the cake! Last time I saw Jeffrey, he kept pointing to my belly and saying "Baby" and asking to play with him. Now I hear that he is referring to our little guy as "Cuz". Danny, Tonita & Isabella are a major part of our lives because they live so close. I am so thankful that they are nearby and even after Izzy was born, they still manage to make it over weekly for Survivor night :) Matt & Kelly are adding another little boy cousin to the mix in September! I can't wait until they are all a bit older and there are the 5 boys and poor little only girl Izzy, wreaking havock when we all get together! Uncle Eric & Auntie Sheree are spending the day today in our soon to be nursery painting up a surprise for our kiddo. If it were left up to me I'd just leave everything painted the same color and just have the decals on the wall. I am so thankful that they don't mind the work of painting and wanted to do this for their nephew! I can't wait to see it!!!

Isabella Rae
6:00AM yesterday we received a call from Tonita saying they were headed to the hospital and that Gwizzie was on her way. At 7AM, they called to tell us that they were admitted. We rushed out of the house (forgetting to turn off the sprinklers... Thanks Eric for getting up so early to turn them off for us!) and headed to the hospital, stopping by a few places to get breakfast for Daddy-to-be, Danny.
We were able to hang out in the room with Danny & Tonita up until 2:00PM, when the nurse kicked us out and announced Tonita was ready to start pushing! A few hours later, their beautiful baby girl was born.
She is seriously adorable and we already love little Isabella!
Looks like Kenny got caught trying to steal her!

Christmas 2008 & My Sunglass Dilemma
The weekend before Christmas we went up to Jen's parents house to play in the snow. We had a great time having an early Christmas and seeing everyone.
Jeffrey loves his Uncle Kiki and Pie-Pie (Pilot) and we had so much fun watching him run around calling for them all weekend long.
Anyway, I finally uploaded the pictures that I have. Check them out!
The next weekend, Mom & Dad come down to San Diego and stayed for a few days. We made tamales, did some household projects and had fun spending time together. Kenny was flying on Saturday so while we waited for him to get back we just had fun going out to lunch and braving the crowded mall. I was able to buy some maternity clothes (Thanks Mom Shepherd for the gift card!) and some sunglasses.
Here is where I need your help. I spent over an hour looking at sunglasses and ended up buying these Arnette glasses.
Actually, I bought two pairs. I had a gift card and since Sunglass Hut was having a sale, I was basically able to get two for the price of once. The cool thing is that they also both come with spare lenses, so essentially I got 4 pairs of glasses for the price of one.
I like the glasses because they are very lightweight which helps with my headaches and they are comfy. The only thing is that they are very sporty and not as fashionable.
So, I went back to the store yesterday with Kenny just to look again and found these.
They are cute and fit well, but are double the price.
I asked the girl at the store what the difference was between Arnette and Ray-Ban and she just said that Ray-Ban was just more well known and that they are actually owned by the same company.
So, what would you do? Get the sporty Arnette 2 for the price of 1 (along with extra lenses making it 4 for the price of 1) or get the cute Ray-Bans?

Snow Day!
Jen took off work on Friday and we flew up to her parent's house for a snow day! A few days ago they got over 12 inches of snow, so we figured we'd better take advantage of it and have an early Christmas.
Pilot LOVED the snow and we had a great time sledding and hanging out.

Kabobs!
I meant to post this like a month ago, but I am lame. Sorry :(
Last month... I think for the Survivor finale... Danny & Tonita brought over kabob fixins and we had fun putting together and even more fun eating them. YUM!

Cinco de Tres!
Cinco de Tres (May 3rd*)
Saturday Kenny had to fly to Oregon so Danny & Tonita once again rescued me from a day of sheer boredom.
Around noon I headed over to their house and the three of us went down to the trolley station and bough tickets to Old Town San Diego.
It was D&T's first time on the Trolley and I think the people around us thought we were weird for taking pictures and listening to Tonita exclaim "Oh! It is so pretty from up here!"
When we got to Old Town some really nice people were there giving out energy drinks (which we really needed after the long night we had had the night before!) This was my first energy drink and I have to say that although it tasted good, I didn't feel all that energized.
What was energizing was the Cinco de Mayo celebration going on in Old Town! There were a handful of bands all playing music and tons of fun booths and stuff to look at. We had such a good time!
Our tickets for the trolley!
I am so energized!

Cinco de...
Cinco de Dos (May 2nd*)
Friday night Danny & Tonita came over to have Mexican food and watch "Dragon Wars."
Here is the description of the movie...
Doesn't that sound like the BEST MOVIE EVER?!? No? Come on. We are talking MEGA-INTELLIGENT DINOSAURS... what could be better?!? Semi-intelligent dinosaurs can't even hold a candle to the awesomenesses of MEGA-intelligent dinosaurs.
Don't even get me started on the soldiers bred for evil. They aren't just born evil... they were bred for it. If that doesn't say great screenplay writing, then I don't know what does.
We had such a fun night eating, laughing and making fun of the giant lizards with missile launchers!
Celebrating Cinco de Dos!
YUM!
There is nothing like homemade guacamole!
Danny had too much fun!
More on our Cindo de weekend tomorrow :)
*Don't correct me. I know that Cinco de Dos means 5 of 2 and not May 2nd. Nonetheless, it was dubbed "Cinco de Dos" by D&T and we like it :)
