Memorial Day

This memorial day we met up with Michael's extended family at the Rupert Cemetery. It was pretty hilarious when we pulled up. They were chillin with their umbrellas and lawn chairs gathered around Grandma and Grandpa Hernandez's grave. It looked pretty silly. Michael claimed it must be a Mexican thing... We talked there for a while then moved over to Michael's mother's grave. Holly battled cancer and passed away when Michael was only a sophomore in High School. I never did have the opportunity to meet his mother. It made planning my wedding an emotional and tender time for me not having her there. I really wish I could hear her stories of what little Michael was like back when. I miss her... and look forward to meeting her some day. Holly and Steve have a beautiful family. I am very glad to be a part of it.

New Baby

We've got another niece. My sister Cammy had a baby last week. This is a picture of baby Ella.

Birthday at Home

Michael and I went home for my birthday in early April to celebrate with our family. It was a fun little weekend. Instead of birthday cake we made life easy and got a fruit tart from Fred Meyer. It was very yummy. My mom surprised me with the coolest home made gift! She made me a very cute sewing bag that I 'm using to hold my crochet projects in. It is so adorable. The legs of the bag are made from yardsticks and there are some very handy pockets in the front that I use to hold my scissors and crochet hooks. My mom really surprised me; I had no idea she was working on it. It is such a great bag. I take it everywhere. Michael gave me some frisbee golf discs and flip flops. We've played frisbee golf a few times now that the weather is getting nice out. Here are a couple photos of my fun 23rd birthday.

Easter with the Nieces

This Easter Michael and I were able to see all the cute little nieces. We stayed Saturday night at Michael's dad's house and had a big slumber party with Steve, Gloria, Megan, and the Sequieros Family. Those girls are crazy. Lilly is still wild and easily distracted, Giselle is talking more than ever, and little Aurora is trying really hard to walk. Sunday morning we were all woken up by the girls and their excitement. Michael and I went over to see what the easter bunny brought us and we found our basket of candy, popcorn, and the great movie Sherlock Holmes! Michael said the funniest thing after looking at everyone elses easter baskets.... He said, "good thing we don't have kids. Everyone who does got Alvin and the chipmunks the squeakquel." As much as I hate to agree with him about not having kids, I'm definitely glad we got something worth watching. Thank You Easter Bunny.
