My birthday party!

Last month was my birthday! I had my birthday party with my friends!! I turned 8. I had a slumber party with my friends!!! We got to decorate big cupcakes and frost them!! I didn`t get that many sprinkles because everyone took all the sprinkles!! We all watched iCarly. We played the wii and I opened my presents!!

I went out to Red Robin with my family, my aunt, uncle, my cousins and my friend Hollie and her family!! At Red Robin I saw my friend Bladen. After that we had an icecream cake!!! I`m not sure what kind it was.

I had a great birthday!

Long Lost Gurrola Family!

I am so excited! This past weekend we went to Los Angeles to meet Omar's half brothers and sister for the first time! It was awesome! They located him on Facebook a couple months ago. Omar always new he had brothers and sisters on his dads side but never knew how many or who they were. Crazy huh! So we got to meet his brother Dan, his wife Janine and their daughter Taylor. His Brother Jesse and his sister Angie, her husband Arnold and one of their sons Matthew. They are all totally awesome! We finally know who Omar looks like now!! They act so much alike too. It's totally trippy considering they had never met. We had such a great time with them. Feels like we have known them all along. We cant wait to meet Omar's brother Pete too. Really looking forward to meeting the rest of the family. We hear its a big one! I am so happy for Omar!

Janine, Dan, Taylor, Angie, Arnold, Matthew and Jesse...thanks for meeting us in L.A. We had a great time getting to know you all! You guys are awesome!!!

Jane Lynch

OK, so I just love Jane Lynch! I just cant get enough of her. I am gonna go ahead and say...she is definitely my favorite lesbian of all time! LOL! It doesn't matter what she is acting in. I laugh my a** off every time I watch her!!! This is a picture of her from Party Down. Love her as Constance Carmell. Unfortunately she left the show....but for good reasons. To be on the show Glee! I cant wait for it to start. The pilot was super funny. I absolutely loved her in 40 Year Old Virgin. There are so many quotes of hers from movies that I would like to include but they are probably not the most appropriate for me to put in my blog! But I guess I can leave you with a quote from Role Models.

"I'm not here to service you, I'm here to service these young boys."

If you haven't seen Jane Lynch act...go rent one of her movies. If you don't find her funny...there is probably something wrong with you. I'm just saying.

" just looking for a toy "

The other day I was looking for Quino and couldn't find him. I walked by his room and couldn't see him in there. Of course I didn't think to check his closet! So I kept looking and when I finally found him, he was there sitting in his toy bucket! I asked him what he was doing and he said "just looking for a toy". Like he does this everyday! What a little nerd. I am glad he is my little nerd though!

Pinecrest

We went camping this past weekend up in Pinecrest. We left Thursday morning and came home Sunday morning. This was our annual camping trip with the Clements. Omar had to work so he met us up there on Friday afternoon. I was very happy when he got there! The kids loved the lake and I liked being able to just sit and relax. Quino and Isabella loved playing in the dirt and climbing on the rocks. They had a really good time with the other kids. Friday night us adults must have gotten a little rowdy around the campfire because the security guy had to pay us a friendly visit. Oops! I guess we were being a little loud. Apparently I am always loud though!!! LOL! We had a really good time! But I am glad we are back. I think I must have taken a hour long shower when we got home. I feel like I am still scrubbing the dirt away! I guess that's what happens when you go camping though!

Our weekend

I had to share this picture of Colby and Omar. I took it this weekend and I think its so cute. Colbers just loves his Uncle. Lexi, Sammy, Chloe and Colby spent the night Saturday. We had a good time! Colbs even got a haircut from Omar. Quino did too.

The only one missing this weekend was Isabella. She went on her first Girl Scout camping trip by herself! That was a really big deal. For her and for me!!! I kept checking my phone all night long! She had a great time though. She always does at Girl Scouts.

On Sunday Rachel and John watched our kids so me and Omar could go out. We went to see the movie Hangover and went out to dinner with Nicole and Gil. That movie was so funny! I even heard Nicole laugh!! That says a lot! Ha ha! Just kidding, Nicole! I want to go see it again. And again. And again....well you get the picture! I love Bradley Cooper!

Cant wait til it comes out on Blu-ray.

Finally bloggin again

I turned 30 a couple weeks ago! I had a good birthday. We had some friends over for a BBQ. Carne asada and chocolate cake! Who could ask for more! Yummy! Omar bought me a new zoom lens for my camera. I love it.

We have finally hired someone to keep our front and backyard looking good. We never really mastered that one! So its finally clean and the kids are loving playing in the backyard! They love the sprinklers. I took this picture the other day. Quino and Isabella were having such a good time. Thanks to my new lens I didn't even have to leave the house to take them! Love it!!
