Our Quick trip to Northern California

Last Thursday we headed up north, and what a good reason to go! Michael's youngest sister Kathy graduated with her Masters from "Hayward" which is in the Bay area. And congrats to her and all that hard work. Believe me it's payed off for her because she already got a great job with great pay and benefits. Let's just say my sister -in- law she's smart with great potential and a lot of drive. She'll make a great difference in peoples lives. But, before we went to the bay area we stopped in Roseville where i used to live which is in Sacramento. We went to go see my family and my Best Best Friend Andrea and her family which is my family. It was short and quick seeing them all but, so worth it! Bell family we were so glad to stop in and visit. And, we look forward to our next.
Ang took the day off of work just to be with us! Your the Best Ang! And, to top it off she sent my husband golfing with her dad and brother for the day,so we (Ang, Myself,and the kids) could go see a movie. Which was perfect.Thanks Ang!! Here we are for the frist time eating at "Pei Wei" and it was yummie!

Michael's so proud of his little sister!

Annie too!

Cousin Alex, which was great bonding between her and Annmarie.

Kathy took all of us on a pontoon boat ride on the lake that's near her house in Oakland.

This was a big treat for the kids!!

Enjoying their cousins...

Father's Day....we went to a lake near Debbie's place and fished with a stick!haha... the kids didn't know the difference weather it was poll or a stick they just had fun throwing it back and forth and putting cheese for the bait. Great idea Aunt Debbie!!

Dad had a try at this....

What kid fun and priceless...

That evening Michael's sisters watched the kids so that we could go have dessert in the city...San Francisco! On little Italy street, which so much happened in just an 1hr.5.That's the city though!! Needless to say we had Delicious dessert with great entertainment!! Next time we'll have to do dinner here too. The laughs are guaranteed here.

Ronny's B-Day /Beach day Fun..Fun

This was my nephew's birthday. So we headed out to Huntington Beach for a day of fun and a bonfire at night. Which was alot of fun. It was great weather too. Happy Birthday Ronny.

This is Ronny going out to surf. . My brother is a surfer and now he's in his glory because Ronny's now showing interest in the sport which gives my brother great joy to be able to get out there and teach him all that he knows. Don was waiting for this day to come. What great bonding they have.

Brother -in -laws they just love each other...No they really do!

Thanks Grandma and Jessie for coming out. "POOR Noah" he had an experience with having his blood drawn, as you can see by his arms. That was tough and nerve racking!! We're still not sure what's wrong with him and all of his aches?~

Mom and Dad are so proud of you.

Here I Am.

Sunday Outting...

Nice day to be out.

Here's Annie making a bird feeder for the back yard.

Even Disney locomotives were there!!

Noah thought pulling the train horn was so cool!

They had all different train exhibits. Which were really net.

Noah says goodbye to the sippy cup!! Yeaa

Noah is 3yrs 3months now and he finally gave his sippy cups up. We are so proud! We thought we were going to have some rough nights but so far so good! The only thing he's hanging onto is his blankie and that's OK bye me .

What nice neighbor's we have!

It's been a long time since, I've blogged! Looking back I'm sadden that I've taken such a long break. Well hopefully I'll continue from here on out. But, anyhow yesterday, my neighbor knocked at my door asking if we want ticket to the "Angels" game for Friday and Sat. They have season tickets. Boy was I delighted!! I only took Fridays tickets. Michael said I should have taken Sat too but I didn't know oh well! Let's just say we a had a bast!! And, we were so thankful!!

Annie loves her Angels hat!!

Noah swing for a Home Run!
