My little Xango Party - and a visit from an old friend!

I had my little Xango tasting/meeting on Saturday. Cherish and Jenette came out to do the meeting and were awesome. It was very informative and I actually learned a lot myself, even though I already drink it! It went well and after the meeting we took everyone out to sushi at our favorite place, I Love Sushi. After that Cynthia went home to snooze, my sister met up with us for a few drinks, us girls went home and changed and we went out for girl's night!
My baby girls LOVE this place. They just call it Shushi...it's cute!
Jenette, Cherish, Cynthia and me in front of the restaurant. Cynthia requested a no gut picture...good idea girlfriend!

Ba Ann (that's Auntie Ann in Thai) and her niece's. Logan's waving at Cherish.


Our first attempt to get drinks was at the Roadrunner and that place was booty. The music was bad, the drinks just ok and the atmosphere was for the birds. And my hair is all up in Cherish's face...so we'll try again...

MUCH betta!

We left the Roadrunner and went to Green Valley Ranch - here we're in the Drop Bar. The music was bomb...they played a song we hadn't heard in a long time..."eeeerybody in the club gettin' tipsy" and the drinks were yummy!!

What is with my hair all up in people's faces????
Doesn't this make you want a lemon drop martini?

Get cho' drink on!!

Our next stop was Ovation in Green Valley Ranch. Again, drinks were yummy and the Ovation band played a bunch of top 40 hits. The girl sang a little better than Fergie did at her own concert...hmmm.
This pose was Cherish's idea, something about our white pits or underarms? Who knows, we were buzzed and having a good time, that's all that matters right!
I look so funky in this pic.
We haven't hung out without kids or spouses for about 3 years so we needed a lot of pictures of ourselves!
This one's better...if you call the buzzed look better...

Doin' the electric slide.
"Boots with the fuuurr, got the whole club lookin' at hurrr, she hit the flo' , next thing you know shorty got lo' lo' lo'"
I told you the band was good! This was the song where they tell you what to do (clap clap clap, stomp your feet, move to the right, whatever)...I think the last time I heard it I was 22 so I had no idea what I was doing...taking pictures is more my forte these days!
Movin' to the left.
Dance dance dance
We had a great time that night. Ended it with french fries and burritos from Del Taco! Yeah!
Thanks Cherish for coming down from Rancho Cucamonga and Jenette for hopping on a plane because traffic was horrible - sorry that happened!! But it worked out in the end right!
And to anyone who's interested in knowing more about Xango and what a great product it is please feel free to email me!

Happy Birthday Christine!

I thought May was a big birthday month - April is just as big! Christine celebrated her birthday at home with friends and family - and we also watched the UFC fight. She had it catered and the food was most excellent! The drinks and shots were flowing and by the time I left Christine was pretty faded. I think Cynthia called it a level 4 of drunkeness! All in all she had a good time and that's what matters on your birthday!
She got a Sponge Bodge - that's how Logan says it - bounce house. The kids had a blast! I'm glad I didn't get a picture of Sponge's face, it was CREEPY!
Ashton's trying to get in but Heather's big head is in the way.
Bouncy FUN!
Christine had all the bubble makers you could think of and the kids had a BLAST with it! Thanks for thinking of everything Christine! You kept the kids occupied the WHOLE night!
That's a big bubble Heather!
Christine also had tubs of sidewalk chalk but it got dark so they did a little. Logan's trying to get the hang of the big bubble maker...

Christine and Joel's handsome son Ashton
Christine, Cynthia and Me - I think this was shot #45 for you Chris?
Oh no, THIS was shot #45 for you! This picture was taken right after the other one - notice how she's got a different color shot in her hand - she couldn't wait for the cheers. =) What a great idea though with the premade shot vials - I'm gonna steal that idea for my birthday party!
Cynthia's got to get at LEAST one silly face in a shot! DORK
Tony are you passing gas or did you just get a brilliant idea of how to drop 12 bottles of beer on your stone floor and REALLY piss your wife off?
I think it was the latter - Trent thought that was way too funny!



This was before the drunk cry - Claudia fed her about 10 more of those shots and then the tears started rolling after she talked to her sister.
Oops, I caught Brody breastfeeding in the background - sorry buddy!
We have to take at least one self portrait everytime we have a camera Awwww - Christine I hope you had a great time even though you got a little emotional. It's always good to have a good cry every now and then. We had a great time, thank you and Joel for hosting and doing so much for the kids! Sorry about Heather's crying fit when we left - she's weird.

Chelsea's Birthday

Happy 25th Birthday Chelsea!
We surprised - or did we Chels? - her at the Carnival Court bar on the strip. It was a fun night of watching some crazy peeps on the dance floor! Anything on the strip is always good people watching!

Dave doesn't know what's going on, Jeremy thinks he knows what's going on and Jacqueline knows - it's party time baby!


Jacqueline and Megan
Dave's so over me and my stupid paparrazi-ing!


Deven's 8th Birthday

Happy 8th Birthday Deven!
We surprised Deven at Grammy and G-Dad's house while they were out of town. Tony and Tabitha took all of the kids to Skymania - thanks for having the patience guys - and then on the way home Deven asked when he was having a party. Tony told him that was his party - he got a little upset but when he walked throught the door he was a happy kid again! What's a birthday without gifts and cake right!! The kids ate, swam, had cake and then Deven opened presents.
Chewy - he misses his papa Dale.

Deven got a bike


He loves all the skater brands now - his Uncle Trent is so proud! After the party he asked if they would do laundry so he could wear a new shirt to school the next day.
Tommy, Deven, Riley, Heather, Jessica, CJ and Logan

Blowing out all 8 candles

My daughter is so dang cute!


It's a little backwards huh...Tony's lighting the candles.

Looks like Heather's making a wish.
