A night out with great food and live music

On Friday afternoon, Ken and Gloria treated us to a family night out

We went to a cute little town, Exeter (known by its beautiful murals) and had dinner at a quaint little Mom & Pops restaurant ... the food was terrific and there was live jazz music as well

Needless to say, Brianna quickly found a spot to walk around, meet other little girls ...

and of course, she managed to get close enough to the fountain ... but didn't get wet!

Beautiful Bri making animal sounds and counting from 2 to 3

Hapy Spring Fling

This past Sunday the office staff celebrated their 5th Annual Spring Fling.There were lots of kids running around and enjoying the cool water slide

Here our princess is strolling around scouting all the prospective activities and meeting lots of new friends ... not to mention strategically forging friendships at every table that would supply her with yummy goodies at her whim ... yes, very spoiled!

There was also a bouncer that older kids really enjoyed as well.

More "hapy" kids

There was also a table with crafts and some pretty neat things came out of it! Brianna got a really cool parasol with her name on it for when she's a bit older (courtesy of Norma's daughter, pictured above in the middle)

What an adorable little girl! Lupe's precious tot also enjoyed playing with Brianna on the grass and on the baby slide.

And the food was yummy too!

The fish pond was a big hit with older kids, as they gathered around to see the fishies and also take a dip of cold water.

Bri wants to drive already ....

Found the keys!

Should I jump in the car and run some errands?

I think that's what I want to do! Now, how do I unlock the car door?

Having a very happy Mother's Day

On Sunday we went up to the Sierra Nevadas and had a blast walking the General Sherman's walking trail and enjoying a gorgeous day and breathtaking nature sights

We treated Ken & Gloria to a nice brunch at the local lodge and look what we saw!

A cute "little" cub bear looking around for food. It was quite an experience! Bibi and Brianna's first time seeing a real bear ... through the window

We also saw a coyote and Brianna's first words were "woof, woof." So cute! It was also Bibi and Bri's first time seeing a wild dog. We topped it all off with dinner at Marie Callender's. What a fun day!

Los rulitos de Brianna

Miren que lindos rulitos tengo ahora! Se me forman bien lindos atras y ahora al costado. Me re-parezco a mi papa cuando era chiquito ...

We're back! And Bri is now 15 months old

I love hanging out at G'pa & Gramee's!
La paso re-bien en lo de mis Abuelitos Pierson!
