Events ...3 (Mommy's Birthday)

On Saturday, June 27th, we made a party for my mom (even though her birthday is the 28th), and all our family was present. You can see my grandpa and grandma relaxing outside.

We had pizzas from Barraco's Pizzas. We ordered a Sicilian Sausage, a Hawaiian, a plain cheese, a pepperoni, and a deep dish pizza with mushrooms. We also had two huge salads and chips. Lots of sodas, and 4 different kinds of beer for the adults.

Thank God for a long driveway, so at least 3-4 cars can fit and there is still some other areas to park.


Here is my Aunt Eli, what a nice smile!

This picture of my cousin Raven came out nicely. Don't you think? Her sister is in the background playing with the big ball.

Here is my Uncle Tony playing ball with the kids. Cool.

At one point, there were all 7 kids playing on the grass. It is amazing to realize how many kids are in the family now. Long ago, it was only my Uncle Carlos.

Ann and Bob chilling after eating some yummy food. I wish we had better weather. It was too hot, but from time to time we had some nice breezes coming along.

Logan (on your left) and Glenn were playing with the rings. They played for quite awhile. It was nice to see.


Mommy had the greatest idea - Water Balloons - but they went out soooooo quickly that we decided to use the hose. Anyway, the day called for it. My Aunt Alma hold it for awhile, then it was my Aunt Eli until we were soaked. (Well, I was not... since I had woken up and was still a bit grumpy).

But, my cousins were all wet! Phoenix, Glenn, Logan, and Raven.

Maybe next year the count down will be backwards, but for now it is still 36! Those cakes flew. I think we devoured them in less than 1/2 hr. The one in the left was a Tiramisu cake and well, you can see the whole chocolate cake in the right.

I approved! How delicious. I wanted from both cakes and I was not grumpy anymore. Who can be grumpy with cake!

Here is my mommy, I stole her cake too. Yummy!

My "Abue" with my cousin Scarlett and Santana eating cake as well. Everyone loved it.

A nice family portrait of my Uncle Carlos, Aunt Eli, Cousins Raven and Scarlett. At this point, everyone had lots of sugar and food. It was a very nice day.


Oh, how wonderful.

But at this point, I was a very tired baby and wanted to go in. Almost everyone had gone home too. I was ready to hit my bed as well.

The next day on the 28th, my grandparents stayed with me while my dad took my mom to Casa Margaritas on Orland Park. Happy Birthday Mommy!
