Masimo 25th anniversary

This weekend was the first time Steven and I got to go out on a hot date. So I curled my hair, tossed on a lil black dress, and actually put make up on! Steven's work is celebrating Masimo's 25th anniversary this year and are moving to a new building so the owners threw a black tie affair to celebrate. There was a red carpet, ice sculptures, a sushi chef flown in, a concert, all sorts of appetizers, open bar, delicious desserts, and flower arrangements everywhere. The mayor of Irvine, a congressman and the founders all spoke on behalf of the company. It was quite the party! While we were out past our 9:00 bed time, Addie got to spend some time with Gramma Marpert in her first night without Mommy.  She didn't put up too much of a fight at bedtime and Gramma loved it none the less. Thanks again for watching Addie!!!
Addie has recently discovered how funny it is to watch the dogs play. She especially loves watching Midnight. Every time he play growls she cracks up (see video post: Addie watches dogs play).
It looks like it's official now, Kevin and Cheryl are moving up to Fresno, CA. Cheryl works at a summer camp up there and Kevin is trying to get hired by the FAA. This makes it a real busy weekend for him. Good luck up there, we'll miss you

Uncle Tom Time

Uncle Tom, Aunt Patti, Stephen, and Matthew came down today to hang out with Addie.  We went over to Laguna, searched the tide pools, ate Gelato, and walked the beach.  It was such a pretty day down there, sure beats the heat up at their house!

Loving how much we're using our backyard lately!  It's all in bloom and just gorgeous!!

Block party

We had a busy weekend! Saturday Steven played in the Enriquez golf tournament but came home early really sick. While I thought Steven was going to be gone, Addie and I went with my mom, Hilary and Jordan to the OC swap meet. Poor Jordan he had to watch us look through endless bows, hats, flags and clothes. He's a trooper!! We did find some really funny onesies (pictures below). Sorry, some might be offensive...He he!
We came home to Daddy food poisoned. Which means I now have two babies to take care of :(  I had to go buy diapers and Gatorade (turned out to be a cart load) and conquer Costco alone with Addie in her front carrier at 5 pm (dangerous tantrum time!). All I have to say is picture me with a cart load at Costco deep squatting to pick up the 36 pack of Gatorade into my cart while being careful not to disturb the baby I have on my chest. (Fist pump to all the single mommas who do this every day). Addie was a stud though and was joyous (thank goodness), and some good samaritan even helped me load the car :-) Whew that was just Saturday.
Sunday we had planned to do a "neighborhood hangout" for Mike and Keely because they are moving to Florida in a few days. Yes, and Steven still out for the count (feeling good enough to not cancel, but slept most of the morning) I cooked crock pot chicken burritos and cleaned the entire house. Even the dirty floor boards that have been driving me crazy in our bedroom!
We had Mike, Keely, Bob, Carl, Truly and Boody over for dinner. Thankful everything went off without a hitch. Addie was awesome, talking, giggling and smiling at everyone.  She's obsessed with smiling at Carl, and had giggles with Keely.
Ok I'm ready for the weekend...Oh shoot it's over. BUST!
