Alexa's 2nd Birthday!

Last Sunday we got to celebrate Alexa Garcia's 2nd birthday party at our clubhouse!  It was Minnie Mouse themed because the birthday girl LOVES Minnie. She was so adorable, and I even got the pleasure of giving her the outfit she wore on her birthday. We enjoyed pizza, swimming, SugarPalooza's fabulous candy bar, and Frosted Cakery's delicious cake. We loved celebrating with the Garcia's and watching sissy bear live it up at her party. It was a huge success!

Girls are having fun!

On Saturday night, while a bunch of my girlfriends were in town, we went out to dinner at Wasabi.  We ate delicious sushi and laughed the night away. Then we had to have something sweet so we went to Yodigity for some frozen yogurt. We finished the night at Alese's playing a game called Quelf. I suggest everyone buying this game it is hilarious! I guarantee you will not stop laughing. We had such a blast together. Love each of you girls!

Alese's Bridal Shower

On Saturday we (the bridesmaid's & co.) hosted Alese's bridal shower at Slates Restaurant. The theme was beach casual which made for beautiful decorations, and cute attire! Since Gina, one of the bridesmaids', family owns Slates we were lucky enough to have lunch there and be the only ones in the restaurant. It was fabulous. The food was amazing! Not that I expected any less, Slates always deliveres an unforgettable meal! To top it off, all of the food choices were gluten free for the bride-to-be. We chatted a lot, played some fun games, ate, and watched Alese open her beautiful presents. It was perfect! I also won the "who knows Alese best" game, including some answers Ben didn't know! Guess we were made for each other!

 I am so thankful for Alese she is an amazing best friend who is always there for me. She can always bring a smile to my face. We can't help but call each other a million times a day to be updated on our daily activities. Just thinking about her moving down south in a month makes me so sad, but I am so happy for her and Ben! They are perfect for each other! I guess this just means there will be even more trips down south to visit. Ben and Alese get your guest bedroom ready for the Waldrums!

An added bonus to the bridal shower was having all my girlfriends in town! It made for a great girls weekend. We had to practice for all the bachelorette fun that is around the corner.

After lunch we played a few games one of which was dressing up the guests as brides using toilet paper. Whitney, Marian (Whitney's mom), my mom, Tara, and I dressed Stephanie. She wanted to be a beach bride so we made her a bikini. It was hilarious. We couldn't stop laughing with her!

Celebrating Christina's 30th Birthday

Last Wednesday we celebrated Christina's 30th birthday! I know, she has lots of exciting moments this year! We went out to dinner at Pismo's for her special night and decided to invite the husbands this time. I loved having them there, and it was fun spending quality time with the Patricio's and Sophie (John was out of town).  We enjoyed great company and awesome food! Happy Birthday Christina!
