Spare of the Moment

Two weeks ago on a Friday evening Chico and I were sitting in our living room watching tv when he asks me what we would do over the weekend (since we are usually busy). At the same time he asked the weather report came on for that weekend and indicated that Flagstaff would be 79 degrees over the weekend. We stared at eachother and he asks "Want to go to Flagstaff?" and after having soooooo many weeks of 115 degree weather in Chandler, I quickly resonded "SURE!" We both went to the computer and booked a hotel room for the weekend and started packing, got up early the following morning and headed to Flagstaff. We had an awesome time! The weather was wonderful! Very chilly at night, dropping the weather to mid-40's (have not felt that in a long time!). Saturday we went and watched the Cards practice during the day and at night we headed to downtown Flagstaff for a great Sushi Dinner and some dancing. It was just great doing something different and enjoyable with of course a wonderful weather.

Joseph's 17th Birthday

In March was Joseph's birthday. 17 already, wow do they grow up! Time just goes by too quick, I'm actually starting to feel old.
Ah, silly boys - I guess that is brotherly love!

Heart Walk - Tempe Town Lake

Also in February was the Heart Walk, and this year I decided to participate and join the Longfellow group. Here is Maria with Rick (?) from channel 3.
Originally there were like 13 -15 people signed up to attend from Longfellow but at the end only 4 of us showed and my husband. So we were representing Longfellow. We had fun, it was unbelievable the thousands of people that showed up to do the walk. Maybe next time we will prepare better to have a bigger group attend.

At the finish line -YES we made the 5 mile walk! Regina, Jackie, Maria and Me. Four tuff girls!

David's 15th Birthday

Many things have happen since last I wrote. David turned 15 and they did a birthday party for him. It was pretty fun!

Yes he had a pinata! I guess it is his last one, since he is not a little boy anymore! :)

The following day Chico and I took him and Carolina out to eat to celebrate his birthday and that weekend David Copperfield was having a show at the ASU gammage auditorium - so we decided to go, it was really nice and I think we all had fun.

Sushi Time!!

Okay, okay! I am turning out to be overly obsessed with sushi. We actually go eat sushi every week, so not kidding about it. I actually look forward to it. Chico found this sushi restaurant near where he is working now and he had been telling me alot about it so we decided to go there instead of our usual place one week. There sushi is pretty good. The name of the restaurant is Pan Asia, and they have a wonderful presentation on their food, so nice that I took pictures of our plates.

Payson trip

The weekend after Christmas we went up to Payson to spend some time in the snow, since it had not been that cold down here at home. We enjoyed our time up there but it was just too cold for us. We are not use to that type of weather. I had the hardest time trying to walk in the snow, I just looked funny. But it was a nice time. We went with Chico's sisters' family.
Just fooling around, since we rarely get to see snow.

Family picture (left to right): Chico, me, Carolina, David, Nora, Krystal, Carlos. Don't we look cold??

Congratulation's David & Melizza

Okay, it was last year since the last time I wrote and of course many things have happened since then. First of all we had a great new year's. We went to Chico's aunts house for new years and it was fun. Many of his family were there and of course there was alot of joking and talking. Well going back to the subject of this post, David and Melizza spent their new year's in Manzanillo, Mex. so we didn't see them till they got back and yes they brought us some souvenirs but the most exciting thing was the news they had for us. It turns out that Melizza is pregnant!! We were not able to tell anyone because they wanted to keep it a secret for a while till they felt comfortable letting their family and friends know. She is now 3 months along and she has good days -sometimes :). Well congratulations David and Melizza on your new journey!

P.S. the reason the color of the font is pink is because they are really hoping for a girl -- let's see!
