GRANDMA IN TOWN

This was at the airport on her way to back California, she came to visit from Bolivia this is her last trip to the USA, she is getting old and has Alzheimer's she remembers the past but her short term memory is going away, so while in the county we all wanted a chance to see her so she traveled quite a lot with in the US to see as many of us as she could, we enjoyed her company so much all her stories you hear over and over but are still entertaining somehow, we love her so much.

The Chandler Taste Festival

This weekend we went to the Chandlers taste festival, it was 35 restaurants serving food, deserts and booze in downtown Chandler. My Aunt Jessie wont the tickets on a radio contest and she was kind enough to let us have them, we had lots of fun we do not get to go out very often, we were stuffed at the end and the weather that night was just beautiful. Not a very good picture but it's hard when there is no one but yourselves taking them.

Mike eating chicken wings

I was eating pita bread with some dipping i do not remember

For these pictures we figured out the timer on the camera and we sat it on a wall, the pics came out 1/2 decent.

Hispanic Women's Conference

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to this conference, SRP paid for it and i had no idea what is was or what to expect. I got to say it was an amazing experience, i have learned a lot in these 2 days listening to the women's stories and the encouraging and inspiring words that came from each one of them. I cannot explain how much this experience has inspired me in many ways for my heath, self improvement, career development, etc. I am very grateful to have been able to attend I'm looking forward to next year. the lunch was great in the pictures below it kinda showes but since it was my phone camera they are blurry but it gives you a good idea. In the picture in Cindy she works at SRP we just meet and i got to say we got along so well, I'm glad to have meet her, hopefully it's the beginning of a nice friendship.

This was the desert, cheese cake with cream, fresh fruit and a chocolate stick, it was amazing yum!!!

Lunch table, so pretty

Sean's 8th birthday

My little Sean all grown up turned 8 on September 13th, we had planned a surprise birthday party for him and he was surprised he had no idea, he does not remember when he turned 7 he asked me to throw him a surprise party the following year, so that's what we did, I'm glad the rain went away just in time for the party since we had the slip and slide and all, if not all those kids would have been so bored in the house. Poor Santi spent about 2 hrs blowing up about 100 water baloons and they were gone in 10 min he could not believe all that hard work lasted so little but they all enjoyed every minute.I'm glad he enjoyed his party. We love you honey Happy birthday

The surprised birthday boy!!! i knew i only had one shot at this picture when he walked thru the door and i asked 2 people to take it and only one did and it ened up a little dark but oh well at least we got it

Even Santi played on the slip and slide

We got Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, so worth it!! it was really good

I can't believe he's 8 already

Awww so cute

Piñata fun, i got to say the piñata sucked big time it was nice looking and all but it fell apart after like 6 whacks, only 4 kids got a shot at it and 2 of them were under 3. Bummer

Simon and Jace loved it

Sean did not want the blind fold but he got some good shots at it

Fun on the slip and slide
