Sunny So Cal!: Update

Ya think so???
I know, it has been a
long time since I've updated my blog.
Gees,where did 2009 go?
Here it is.....

Rewind to 2009
Last yr. our friends Mark,Tara and their girls
rang in the New Yr. in L.A

Tara her girls and the boys

Mark and Paul camped out,
slept on the streets of L.A
to save the whole fam a spot
for the Rose Bowl Parade 2009

Tara and I

Fast Forward to Dec 30,2009
We left L.A on Dec 30 at 1:30pm
and drove to Las Vegas
we were excited to see Mark, Tara and the girls.
BUT
we arrived in Vegas at 9:30 pm!!!
It was CRAZY!!!
at least a million of Californians
drove to LV to ring in the NY.
Because in 2009 they did not have any fireworks
and decided to make a spectacular fireworks this yr.
they "SHUTDOWN"
LV Blvd.
Hence, we arrived at Mark and Tara's at
9:30 pm.
The girls were asleep and the boys were bummed and slept on
their couch. While we chatted for awhile. Thanks again :))

We left Mark and Tara's
and stayed at St. G. because we stay there
everytime we drive to UT we received a free night stay at
the Best Western Hotel. Thanks!

The next day (Dec.31st)
We drove to
Lehi and met our friends Jeff, Nana and their girls
+ BOY. Kai is sooo cute! Congratulations again!

We had lunch at my favorite
Cafe Rio.
It was great seeing everyone.

It was cold and
it just had a snow storm on the 30th.

We finally arrived my in-laws house
on Dec 31st at 4pm
The boys were stoked because there were snow!

First thing J.T did was to
make a snow angel (of course)

They built forts and
of course snow ball fights

We had a great time with the whole fam.
and Rang in 2010 by
talking,laughing,
playing board games and the boys played with their cousins
air hockey,basketball
and stayed up til 1:00am.
I was too busy and forgot to take pics.

My new favorite game
IMAGINIFF

January 1st
Was the Christmas Party.
Because it was very cold and snowy outside
we had the Party at the Church.
We played football,basketball,
"Keep Away","I love game",
"Ninja game"
all kinds of games to entertain the kids.
We had Pizza that day and exchanged gifts.

Jake is the youngest of all the cousins.
But he did not want to be the youngest so he
called Kyler to join the gang :))
Kyler-J.T-AJ-Robbie-Tom-Joe-Jake

We played "Keep Away"

"The I love" game
Here's Brenda with Robbie explaining the rules

They played football

And of course
the exchange presents

We loved all the presents. Thank you again!

January 2nd
Was our niece's wedding.
She was a very beautiful bride.
I did not take pictures, so busy
helping out and talking as usual. :))

We loved the "kids" toilet.
I know of all the pictures I took
Here's Shannon pretending to
use the "kids toilet" hahahaha.

We enjoyed the Luncheon
and loved seeing everyone. See you all in Spring for
the reception.
We love you all and Thank you!

After the wedding we
drove down to Provo and watched the BYU-Eastern New Mexico game.
Paul was very tricky
he said "oh we can watch the game on our way
back home and then you can shop in LA"
Of course "SHOPPING" always ring bells in my ears :))

IN and OUT
just opened in UT
and it was packed, there was a long wait and the
drive thru is crazy!

We can totally understand.
That's what Hamburger's all about :))
One of the things that's very interesting at this restaurant
there are some perks and menu
add ons that are not on the menu
There are also verses on the bottom of
the cups, burger packaging etc...

January 3rd
We left UT early so we wont hit the traffic in L.V
