Adopted Mommy

Well, so much has been going on lately! It's been really crazy and Dina hasn't had much time to do a lot of blogging, but here's the latest: On Saturday, June 28, Dina took the kids to meet up with her sorority sister/college roomate for lunch while her friend was up from Riverside. This was the first time all the kids were together. It was a short lunch, but great to see Grace and her hubby so happy with their son! The food at Elephant Bar was excellent too! Dina then drove to Stockton for her baby cousin's 3rd birthday! It was at the house where Dina grew up! Of course it was princess themed. They had a castle bouncehouse, which Katarina took to for the first time. The little kiddie pool was set up, too. David wasn't too sure about that, but it was a lot of fun. Brianna's big sister made the Ariel cake in the picture above! Cecy just finished culinary school not too long ago in San Francisco. After cake and presents, Dina drove with the kids back...

Ok, so it's been awhile, but we've been CRAZY BUSY! Jeff is now a car saleman at Stan Morri Ford in Tracy (go see him if you want a good deal!) and so his hours are long. Dina feels like a single mom and any family events have been without Jeff. But, here are a few things that have been going on.... Dina took Katarina in to have her hair trimmed and noticed someone with the cute bob cut. She decided once Jeff came home, she would cut her hair. Originally she planned to wait until it was long enough to donate, but with the wicked hot weather and starting back up teaching in Tracy Unified, a new look was called for. Plus, Dina turns 30 on Monday, so she felt like she needed to do something wild for it! Father's Day was hard with out Jeff. He worked (as ALL car saleman do) on Sunday, but Dina tried her best to fix breakfast for him before he had to go in. Dina then took the kids to Modesto to meet up with her dad, step mom and bro's (with their significant others)...

No, it's not for us again! LOL! Dina's brother and girlfriend are expecting a boy in July. A family baby shower was organized at the Stockton Ball Room yesterday. Good food and company made for a wonderful afternoon! Everyone enjoyed the kids and of course Katarina helped out with opening gifts for her future cousin! This little boy is going to be SPOILED!!!
