We surprised my husband, Lorenzo, with a small party for his 40th birthday. I had our choir director call him to invite him to choir practice, but when we got to the church our friends surprised him with a special "Bumblebee" birthday cake designed by my favorite cake decorator (we call our kids our bumblebees). We then proceeded to the fellowship hall for vegetarian pizza, a special tossed salad made by our friend, Debye, and a delicious berry bowl from another church member, Judi, and of course, yummy birthday cake for dessert!
Happy Birthday, Daddy. We love you!

Waiting Room Ballerina
|
|
It all started with a simple hair tie.
There we were, waiting to be seen by Reanna's pediatrician for what turned out to be Swimmer's Ear (a souvenir from Troy's birthday party), when I decided to put her hair up. She was getting bored and I needed a distraction fast. Reanna loved it. "I look like a ballerina!" she smiled, and started dancing around the room.

My son, Troy, celebrated his 8th birthday with another swimming party. Venue was poolside at the Salvation Army Red Shield Community Center in Modesto. This is the third year we have held it here, after moving from our old home which had a pool of its own. I much prefer it this way: no pool maintenance costs and cleanup's a breeze!

Welcoming Our First Grandchild!
|
|
It's official: Lorenzo and I are now grandparents!
This latest blessing is courtesy of Joey, Lorenzo's son from his first marriage, and he also happens to share his father's and grandfather's name:
Lorenzo Jojo Sereno
That's "Jojo" pronounced "Joe-Joe", American-style. Jojo is my husband Lorenzo's nickname, which he imparted to his first son, Joey (nee Lorenzo Jojo Sereno, Jr.). Joey and his girlfiend, Brandy, decided they wanted to name their son exactly the same, so technically speaking, the baby should be known as "Lorenzo Jojo Sereno III", but I think they'll be keeping the "Jr." in there because that's what the baby's nickname is, "Junior".
I just call him "Li'l Joe", because he looks so much like his father.
Congratulations, Joey and Brandy!

It was a very hot day. Very, very hot. Our nephew, Adam, and his family were staying with us at the time. By midday, we coudn't stand it anymore so we headed for Santa Cruz but changed our minds and ended up at Capitola Beach. Adam treated everyone to McDonald's. We bought the kids ice cream cones. It was a good day.

Mom's 41st Birthday Part 1: Santa Cruz, CA
|
|
I celebrated my 41st birthday with trips to two of my favorite places: the beach and the mountains.
The first one was a fluke: Central Valley Christian Academy had its Spring Break earlier than the rest of the schools this year, so we practically had Santa Cruz to ourselves. We managed to find rooms at this inn right across the street from the beach and the boardwalk. The only thing separating us from the sand and surf was a strip of concrete with crossing lights in the middle. How sweet is that?

My second birthday celebration this year was even sweeter because it was free, courtesy of my parents-in-law, who treated us to a 2-day stay at the Silver Legacy Hotel in Reno!
