Happy cinco de mayo


Mother's day 2012

This year we celebrated Mother's day with the Moms on Saturday night.  Had good home style Korean food in South Bay with my brother's in-laws.  

Happy Birthday JoJo!

Cake was sooooooooooooo good

The next morning, on the actual Mother's day, we all went to church.  
Z drew me a picture in Sunday school.  She drew a rainbow over me because she "loves me so much"!
After church we went for brunch at Cafe Casse Croute.  Very mom and pop.  When I went up to the counter to pay I could see an assembly line of grandma/moms/aunts cooking and putting together the dishes.  

Me and Monkey. 

I ordered the Chef's grill mix.  A little bit of everything, sweet and savory.  It says alot that I did not drown anything in condiments.  In fact I ate it as-is.  NO KETCHUP!  The only thing I didn't finish was the bacon.  Applegate bacon aka the best bacon in the woooorld has ruined me for life!

I got a chocolate covered strawberry for being a mom today.  Sweet!

And monkey enjoyed it very much.

Love the food and the homeyness of the place.  And so inexpensive!  Will def come back.

In the afternoon, Z helped me put the final touches on the cake for tonight's get-together.  



All done!  taste tested by Z

My little nerd is ready to party!  For mothers today!

Humming bird nest in the avocado tree.  We could see the mother hover but never went back to her babies. 


The cake was yummy!  And all gone in a flash.   

Happy mother's day y'all!

Clip-Clop!


This was a funny book we got from the library.  It was simple but humorous,  and Z loved it.


Last night Z was compelled to replicate the scene, so she rounded up all the animals in the house:

 Voila!  Our own "clip-clap!"






When it was time for bed, Z tried to sleep on her pillow in between the dog's legs...guess that was not comfortable so now the doggie and his crew are on her bedside.
