Friday Photo Flashback

I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use!

1992

Whoa...20 years ago...really? I just realized that when I was trying to figure out what year this was!

That's me on the far left with my girlfriends at our friends wedding.

In fact, it was at my sister's ex-boyfriends wedding (who she was with for 10 years)!

Talk about awkward!

But, I still had a good time because my friends were all there, too!

But, yah..it was still a little awkward!

Did I ever mention how I love my random date nights with my husband?

Well, I do!!

It's so refreshing for it to just be him & I sometimes! No interruptions, no distractions, and we can just talk freely!!

Anyway...we took a nice drive up to the city (not even knowing where we were going to end up at).

I love random drives...seriously!!!

We stopped in Pacifica, and it was seriously like winter over there!

After deciding not to eat there, we ended up in San Francisco, eating at a Chinese restaurant in the heart of Japan town! Our good friend recommended this place, and in fact, he met us for dinner since he lives close by!

The food was great, and the conversation even better (well, when I wasn't taking pictures, and updating my Facebook)!

The walnut shrimp was the best I ever had, and the Chinese broccoli was cooked to perfection. My husband really enjoyed the General's Chicken. It wasn't too spicy, and it was different with the jalapenos in it!

This is now our new "go to" place when we go to the city!

This is me, and my firstborn, Isaiah! He must only be a couple of weeks old here, and I still remember feeling sooo clueless at the time! He was such a good baby, too!! For being a month premature, he weighed a good 6.3 lb.!!

I wish I could take the credit tfor making this up, but I have to give credit where credit is due!

I saw someone had posted a link to this dessert, and I knew I had to make it!!

I mean, it's genius!!

A mini ice cream cookie bowl!?!

Why didn't I think of this myself?

Tastebud Tuesday

There is nothing better than yummy ice cream on a warm sunny day!

Well, maybe except ice cold water!

But, in this case, we decided to take the kids out for some good ol' fashion 31 Flayvas!

I just trip out on how much the price has tripled since I was their age!

Decisions..decisions!

Hmm..I wonder if they are enjoying it?!

I'm sure the girls are, too! We had our friends daughter with us this day!!

The happy bunch!

I absolutely LOVE this picture of my daughter sleeping on her daddy!! She was just a little over one year old!

They have always had such a tight bond, and you can totally see it till this day! It really does make a huge impact on a girls life to have a daddy that is attentive, supportive, and very involved in their daughters lives! I'm so thankful for their relationship!

Win, Lose, or Draw?

It was a DRAW!

Not bad considering my son hasn't played chess in a couple of years!!

Wordful Wednesday-My Big Baby

Surprisingly, only one person made a comment about her sitting in there!

LOL..this is SO my daughter!

Doesn't care what anyone thinks!

She would have sat in the top part if I agreed!

Then, that would have been creepy!

Raise your hand if you love Sushi!!!

Have you ever indulged in all you can eat sushi? And I'm not talking about the buffet Asian restaurants that have the sushi already made.

This is all made fresh when ordered!

Sushi Factory allows you to pick and choose what kind of Sushi you want. Just mark it on the menu, and they will make it!!!

SO TOTALLY WORTH THE $$$!!

I wish I could remember the names of the ones we ordered, but my son got order happy, and we ended up with all this!

The End Has Come!

I can't believe that the school year has officially ended!!

Seriously..these past ten months just flew on by!

I remember thinking that the end of the school year was so far away!

And now it's here, and it's kinda bittersweet!

I hate goodbyes.

Even though I know I'll see the teachers in a few months!

I'm weird that way!

Anyway..my kids had their final field trips of the year.

They had so much fun!

I have to schedule "play dates" with their buddies this summer!

We had to be at school at 7am one morning because the big kids had a field trip to Alcatraz! I've always wanted to go there, too! I've been in CA practically my whole entire life, and I have never been there!

The little ones and I had time (about an hour) to spare, so I took them to breakfast! We also had one of the teachers daughters since she was headed to Alcatraz to chaperone! My other sons class had a field trip to Santa Cruz, snd my two littlest ones had a combined class field trip to a pool party!

And here's some of my daughter's buddies! LOL..excuse the sun over one of the girls faces. Her mom would not be happy if she knew I put her daughter out in blogland!

Scripture Sunday

In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?

-Psalm 56:4

31 Days To Clean

Okay..I'm super duper stoked to start this challenge!

My bad because I received this downloadable book for free months ago and I never did it!

Now that summer is starting, I am more than happy to take this on!!

This is all about getting our houses and hearts in order.

More than anything, I want to serve my family with a cheerful heart. They are my first ministry, and my job as a wife and mother, is to make our house a home.

Let's do this!

I know I've posted before about my my kids and their cousins (my sisters boys). I thought it would be perfect to "flashback " a picture of them when they were all 3 & 2 years old! Even though they live in Hawaii, it's like time has not passed when they see each other. I can only imagine how close they'd be if we were able to see them all the time.
