Beach Days!

Saturday was GORGEOUS!!!! Like summertime gorgeous.Us, the Vallez', Fitch's, Widners and Badrauns headed down to Salt Creek and camped out in the grass area for 4 hours. Brought blankets for the babies to play on, beach chairs, mimosas, footballs and horseshoes for the kids and some subway sanwiches. It was so nice down there. I dont know why we dont do that more often. I was fried when we left though. Guess it was time for a base coat huh... river season is quickly approaching :) We left there around 4 and gave me just enough time to get to a photo session at 530. I dropped the boys at Jeff and Lindsays and met a couple for maternity pics. And apparentely Luke hadnt had enough of Jeff yet so we stayed for dinner, Jake and Kristyn and the babies came too and we feasted on wings and pasta salad. With all the stuff oging on lately it was such a nice day to just kick back and relax... even though I did have "work" to do in the middle of it lol

Pirate Play

Friday night Kylee was in a school play, Treasure Island. We saw it back when Hunter did it a few years ago too and it was pretty cute. She was really excited for the boys to see it so we headed to Marc and Brandis and went with them to watch Ky in all her pirate glory. Hunter took the boys up to the front row becasue Kylee passed out apples at one point so wanted the kids front and center to get a apple. It was a cute play, the boys loved it and Ky was happy they were there. Best part was me and Luke sat right in front of a kid with the funniest lisp I have ever seen and Luke and I died everytime he said "acroth the theath" (AKA across the seas) or anything with s's in it. LOL I know we are evil, especially since Wy has one haha. After the play we headed back to their house for carnitas tacos and Joker. The usual festivities over there!

Peer Pressure

It didnt take much convincing but I talked Erin into getting a disneyland pass so she could come with me. Bailey is finally to an age that she can really enjoy it so on Monday we took the kids for a few hours. Bailey was a little scared of Small World and Jungle Cruise lol but she lossened up pretty fast. Erin loved it, she hadnt been since she was like 12. It was packed becasue of spring break so we didnt stay more than 3 hours but I had Keira too so it was plenty for us. O and best part was, my wimpy 4 yr old who hates anything in costume took a picture with Pluto! I couldnt believe it! Wyatt, who came up with the idea to take a picture with Pluto, ran for the hills as soon as he got within 3 feet of him! But Jack put on a brave face and did! I was so proud of him! lol Im so glad Erin can come now too, another day time Disney buddy!

Happy Bday Brothers!

Sunday Luke and I got home from the wedding weekend and the kids were still at my parents. We layed around for a bit then headed down there to celebrate my brothers bdays with the fam. They are old farts! I wont even tell you how old in case I embarrass them lol :) Just kidding boys! In spirit of St pattys day only a few days before my mom made corned beef and cabbage, a fave in the Erwin house (probably because that meal is responsible for some deadly odors released from the bodies of anyone who eats it, GUILTY!)... it was delicious! It was an early night for us though due to lack of sleep all weekend so we said our goodbyes and all four us crashed before 10pm that night. Great weekend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARC AND RYAN!!! Hope your days were great!! XOXO

Wedding Time!

After our ride and a little spa session to ease the pain in our legs (Im tellin u it was a work out!) I headed up to the bridal suite while Luke and the boys headed to the hotel bar to drink pina coladas after I had been craving them (I seriously felt like I was in Hawaii while I was there). The photographers showed up and I felt like Britney Spears. It was like paparazzi were swarming our room, there were three photographers snapping every move we made. Not to mention I looked like crap after just getting outta the spa (dont even wanna see these pictures). After many hours of hair, make up, showers and trying to zip up dresses we hopped on the rented bus and headed to Eucalyptus Lane where the wedding was. Everything was incredible. Gianna did such an awesome job and she almost cried when we walked up and she got to see it all for the first time. I had goosebumps bigtime.

Time came for the ceremony, o and I almost left out the best part! Our friend Sam Shahidi was the minister. Gianna had him ordained on line and he married them, which made for pure comedy for 15 minutes! He was so nervous before it started. I went to the back and he was pacing, rehearsing his lines, fixing his hair. I thought he was gonna crap his pants. It was so cute. As he walked out Luke and Sams brother John who I made a mistake sitting by (him and Luke are terrible sitting next to each other at weddings) just started dying laughing, to the point they were crying. Poor Sam. I yelled at them at first but as soon as Sam opened his mouth and started the ceremony with "um, ok..." I was in hysterics. Few things I wont forget about his words... "In thickness and in health.." "In the PRE-sence of God" and him saying "um, ok, and like" with every sentence. Holy crap it was the best. Gary said he was the most nervous until Sam started talking and all eyes were off him and on Sam. Gianna and Gary only had one word for the ceremony and Sam... perfect. Everything was perfect... the reception was awesome, bartenders were AMAZING (how many bartenders poor 100 Kamikaze shots at weddings, not many!), everyone was looking mighty dapper... including me and my "date" Jake... just call us the purple people eaters...

...and the DJ was fun. At one point he called Luke up to the front, requested by Gianna, to teach everyone the cha cha slide dance. So him and G got up front and did it for everyone. Then later the DJ played it again and youd be shocked how many people were dancing to it this time! The night ended with Gary and Lukes favorite song... Purple Rain. Luke and Gary stood up front arms wrapped around each other dancing and screaming to purple rain. HOMOS. Luke and I hopped in the car with Kent and Kathy Fitch, which made my night because Luke somehow managaed to get Kent, who never drinks, HAMMERED! And all Kent could say in the car was "That bastard Luke got me drunk!" HAHA made my night. Even Jake the next day said "I have NEVER seen my dad like that!" We all got back to the hotel and continued our Dance Party USA in the hotel bar where there was a live band... o and our friend Mr Tupae man! LOL Is that not a terrible hair piece if you ever saw one! I mean really guy, you cant possibly think this looks ok. After another hour or two of dancing they closed the bar and we all headed to the lobby where John ordered 20 pizzas and we all pigged out til 230am.

Gianna was last to go to bed! LOL That never happens. It was such a fun night and a great weekend and we couldnt be happier for Gary and Gianna. Im so glad it all came together and was everythig she had imagined. Only part she didnt imagine was missing her flight to Hawaii the next morning lol!

Wedding Album!
