Happy Birthday!

Today is my best friend's Birthday. So you know what that means...Disneyland!!! We took Audrey & Karissa of course. We had so much fun. It was sooo hot, but not crowed at all. Audrey had her 1st lollipop! It was a fun day. Happy Birthday Gracie!

Childhood Memory

When I was a little girl I remember my mother bringing home some pastries from a bakery in China town. I was probably about 7 years old. Well sometime last year I went to China town, my mission?... to find these pastries called "butterflies". Well my mission was completed, I found them, but since Chinatown is kinda far from me I haven't had them since. My hunny knows I've been craving these things, so he started looking up bakeries on the internet. Guess what he found?...."BUTTERFLIES". You won't believe where!!! Right around the corner from where I work!! So on Sunday we took a little drive down to Diamond Bakery to buy my beloved pastries

as soon as I took a bite I was 7 years old all over again!

Beach Party!

On Saturday Gracie had a beach party for her birthday. We had so much fun! Karissa & Audrey had fun playing in the water. Later that evening we had a bon fire, we toasted marshmallows & sang happy birthday to Grace. It's always great to hang out with our family!

Proud to be an American

I have always been proud to be an American. Our family loves to celebrate the 4Th, but this year its a little more special to us. As you all know our Jo-Jo joined the Navy back in November, and we are very proud of her. I just want to take this time to tell her Thank you! Not only her but all the young men and women who serve our country. Without their service we wouldn't have our freedom . I was told it takes a special person to fight for our country, & I know that's true. Joanna always says this is what she was born to do, & I believe it. Thank You for all your sacrifice, & your commitment to us, and to our great country. WE LOVE YOU!
God Bless America! P.S. I know I'm gonna cry for sure this year during the firework show, especially when they play.."Proud to be an American"

Time well spent

We've been working hard all week, & when I say "we" that includes Karissa. She has been with me @ the store & warehouse almost everyday this week, & she doesn't just sit around, she's actually working..putting away ribbon and empty baskets & collecting empty paper trays. I felt bad that she has to come with me, so today we went into work for only a few hours, then I took her to get a special treat. We went to Miss Priss Cupcakes! It was yummy! A couple of friends were in the area so they stopped by to join us. It was a nice little outing spent with friends & it was great just hanging out with my favorite girl. Thanks for being so patient & helpful Kari ,I love you!
