Family Fun

The Macdonald's visited for a short while.... I had so much fun with Ali and Maleana. Maleana is now like a little person, it's unbelievable how inteligent she is. She counted up to 11 and sang me the ABC's, we played, ate, sang and collected seashells on the beach. We even made friends with Larry, the pet duck!
Maleana as a very cute personality. As you can see she is adorable and check how fashionable she is already! I should have known from the begining that she would be such a fashionista, since her first pair of denim was paper denim, which she got at oh about 1 day old.
Mason celebrated is birthday down here in Laguna. We had a BBQ at the bay! Drena cooked up a delicious meal; ribs, chicken, sausage, and so many yummy sides! We enjoyed a very tasty sweet treat, chocolate cake by Sandy. We even roasted marshmelows, thanks to Mason Lauren and I enjoyed the most perfectly roasted marshmelow.
The visit was short but packed with good times. We love you Mason, Ali and Maleana.

House Hunting

Nic and I enjoyed a very long day of house hunting. I must first say, as I am driving thru Dana Point to meet up with her, I am baffled and frightened by what I see. . . Too many police on motorcycles and in cars intermixed with an odd looking bus van type automoble amoung a few large blacked out subberbans windows down with men in suits holding guns driving thru Dana Point! Now these were not little hand guns but large automatice weapons! To say the least I was slightly scared as I sat at the corner in my Audi watching stare as they drove by ready to shoot at any second, so I get on the phone and start calling my sis and friends and of course no answers (why have cell phones if we do not answer them?). It was not until yesterday that I found out what all the hoopla was about, the President of Vietnam was in Laguna and apparently there was a little uproar over the whole situation. Any way, Nic found an adorable house and at the same time we found a date for Kelly! We continued to drive around one particular area about 4 times scopping out all the homes on the market. Apparently the guy in the really cute house saw us and was wondering why we continued to pass his residence. Needless to say, when he realized we were two hotties he had to chat with us. We of course let him know we were taken, but we have a friend for him - Kelly. So if you wonder why there is a photo of a random guy it's Manny, kell's future date. We enjoyed our day checking out many homes in hopes thats soon enough we will both have homes of our own.

Sisterly LOVE

I enjoyed another beautiful day at the beach, but it was better than usual because Katrina joined me! She officially on summer vaca! We ate lunch together on the sand, read our books, chatted and went for a stroll. I must say today was a hot day with not much of breeze, so we spent a lot of time playing in the water- the cool tempertures felt refreshing. Many of you are probably sick of all my close up shots, but thats how it goes when I am taking all the pics with my left arm.

Friendship

As most of you know, I enjoy spending time with friends. Derek has been a good friend for many years. I always enjoy chit chattin with him. He knows me very well and often gives me advice on life. Most of the time I think I just crack him up because of my sillyness and weirdness, he enjoys my entertainment. Here we are at the bank, I know random spot to take a photo... the lady thought we were cukoo talking about myspace and blogs all while opening a bank account and getting a loan. We entertained her for the day!

So Long, Farewell....

Through out the past year I have had the pleasure of assisting Katrina in her classroom. The kinders are so adorable! They always seem to have the most interesting things to say when I visit them. Some of the funny comments I have heard are: "she is so pretty I wish she was my sister", "she looks just like Ms. Meyer", "Why does she look the same as Ms.Meyer", "My turtle died", "You are like a princess Niccole" The students are very sweet and I have enjoyed seeing them mature thru the year. I even recieved a card from a student on the last day, it was a drawing of her and I (too cute!) I was sad to watch them all the school yard on their last day of kindergarten. I am looking forward to being a mom and attending every event at school. As katri said "you are going to be the PTA president"! I wouldnt go that far, but I sure am looking forward to raising our children. I will miss all the kinders! It so sad to think Katri will no longer be there :-(

Handsome Hubby

Many of you know Tim is abroad for awhile. I miss him tremendously and constantly find myself daydreaming of him. As you noticed there are not many pics of him on our blog (due to him being out of the country) so I thought I would dedicate this post to my ADORABLE husband. Everyday I feel so blessed to have Tim in my life. He is a wonderful husband, I love him dearly. Everytime I look at him I think to myself wow he sure is cute! He has beautiful eyes, rosy cheeks and amazing soft curly locs, I love everything about him. It seems that at least once a week when I am laying out his friends find me on the beach and each of them always having something kind to say about tim and most of them state "some of the fondest and funnest memories I have are with Tim". Sometimes I ask myself if this is really my life, I can not believe I am so fortunate to be married to such a loving person. I love you Timmy. XOXOXOO

La casa de Johnson

Today I spent the day with my in-laws. We had so much in Mexico! Our destination was Puerto Nuevo, for any of you lobster fans I bet you have been there. We enjoyed a great meal of fresh tortillas larger than ever with beans, rice and LOBSTER we just could not get enough of this yummy food and of course we downed way too many bowls of chips n salsa. This time around we were able to experience a new appitizer (compliments of the restaurant) smoked fish us girls were not too into it but Ed enjoyed it alot. The waiters at the restaurant had fun time playing jokes on us, they even brought out a mouse! We checked out some resort condos on the ocean, of course the views were amazing and we spotted dolphins. The shopping was awesome too! The entire time I kept day dreaming of Timmy, everything south of the border reminded me of him in some way, I miss him tremendously. I must say the most interesting event during the trip was an american at the border standing at our car for 5 minutes describing to us (thru closed windows) that his brother was in an accident and is now in jail in Mexico and he needs our money... dont worry we did not give any free handouts. It was sad to see the lifestyle of so many people across the border, I am once again so thankful to live in America - the land of opportunity. God Bless America.
