May happenings

I need to get back to a weekly blog. I'm doing catch up now. After the weekend at the beach and surprise party the week went by like all. I'm still enjoying my time off work. I know reality is I need to get to work but it is nice just enjoying life. Mother's Day weekend was nice. Nathan came home for the weekend. On Saturday we had our annual Mother's Day lunch at The Blue Agave in Pleasanton. My mom, sisters, aunts, cousins friends all get together for a lunch. There was about 20 of us. It was a lot of fun. We relaxed and had a great time. The weather was wonderful almost 90 degrees...love it!

On Mother's Day the kids made me a wonderful breakfast then we went for a hike at Castle Rock. It was beautiful...I love hiking glad I'm able to hike again. No more broken foot no more surgeries. After the hike we went to lunch and had a great day.

On Monday I met my friend Hilda we spent the afternoon together and then she came joined us for dinner. Wednesday I met Sandra at Santana Row and we had a nice visit. Then Brittany met me there we sat in our favorite lounge chairs and relaxed and talked. Thursday I met Leslie at Starbucks in the AM. It was a nice visit. Thursday was my starvation day...I couldn't eat a thing...had to prepare for my lovely colonoscopy on Friday. Well...I have tried 2 times to have a colonoscopy and first time I ended up in surgery 2nd time they couldn't do it cause of scar tissue. Third times a charm. Again I had to go under....that always kind of creeps me out but at least it wasn't all the way under. It's great though cause I wake up and it's all over. The test went well and Dr called me and said everything looks good.

This past weekend Scott & I took Shannen and her friend Emily to Capitola. We went to go visit my brother Bert and Kathi they were staying at Kathi's parents place. We hung out at the beach I got a little color. We had a great day. Sunday Scott and I got up early and went on a hike at Alum Rock Park. I love that park.

Brittany's Surprise Birthday Party!

May always starts off with Brittany's birthday on the 3rd. We had a surprise 19th birthday party for her at the beach. This was great she was really surprised. She was actually very easy to fool..haha.

We rented a beach house at Pajaro Dunes in Watsonville. There were about 15 teenagers/young adults there. Scott and I and his sister Sandy and husband Bob were the adults there. It was great on Friday night it was just us adults at the house. We went to dinner and just had a really good time visiting. The view from our room was the ocean..so nice! The next day people started getting there around 12:30 Britt got there about 1ish. She was completely surprised I loved the confused look on her face..hehe...it was great. We had great food and drinks and dessert of course. Everyone had a good time. At night we had a fire on the beach. The weather was really nice it was sunny on Saturday. About 10 of the kids stayed the night. The next day we just hung out inside most of the day since it was a windy cold day on Sunday. But it was so beautiful looking out the windows. We ate relaxed and enjoyed the day. Left about 5pm. What a perfect weekend.

Month of April

Wow...can't believe it's been a month since the last blog. Where the hell does time go? Let me think...April was a good month. On April 8th I had a great day. In the morning I went to Trish's house in San Ramon she made me breakfast..so cute...we then went on a walk and hung out. I then met my friend Karen at Whole Foods for lunch..nice visit. Then I stopped by Fremont to visit Michele and we ended up hanging out there going to dinner I didn't get home until 9:30. It was a full day but a fun one. On April 9th my godchild Cristal had an art show at Santa Clara University. Her work is amazing! She graduated this year. Here are a few pictures from her show.

On April 5th we had a surprise 50th Anniversary party in Willits for my in-laws. They were really surprised. It turned out nice. That Sunday we went to a dinner for Holly's birthday. Fun filled weekend of parties and eating!

April 26th Shannen went to the Bellarmine Jr. Prom...eeek..my baby at prom.

On April 20th our friends daughter Olivia had her first communion...she looked so pretty, the party after was lots of fun.

I've been exercising again, which is a great thing. I've been on several hikes in April which I really missed. It's been since last June before I broke my foot that I've been on a hike.
April was good!
