Corey's Band Concert

Corey joined the Corona Norco All City Band. It is a group of students from the schools in the Corona Norco area. Last nite they had their concert after only practicing 4 times together. It was awesome! I am soooo proud of him! Of course, I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pics.

The last piece the junior high age group played was a tribute to the men and women in military. They did a piece of each military song. As each song was played they asked people in the audience to stand up if they were in the military or in honor of someone they knew. It was great!! Of course, I didn't stand up because I was too busy crying. I still cry as I think of it while I'm writing this. Thank you too all who have been in the military to protect us -- especially Papa (Navy), Uncle Sam (Army) and Darrick (Navy). You guys are great!!

Mother's Day!

This year I woke up to no newspaper, and my van and Chuckie's jeep were sprayed with a fire extinguisher :( Chuckie's jeep had the top and windows off, so they got the inside too. But ... everyone pitched in and made mother's day really special!!!


Chuckie cooked ...


... the food was great, especially the homemade onion rings ...



...Vihaney cleaned ...



...and Corey took care of his boo-boo!

It was great! Vihaney's mom came over for lunch, I really enjoyed visiting with her. Later in the afternoon Amber and Mauricio came over and Chuck made them BBQ chicken. Thanks everyone for such a great day!!

As most of you know Chuck and Vihaney got married on April 16, 2009. Here are a couple of pictures of our day.



This is Corey and I before we left for the wedding --I was getting nervous, so we played Guitar Hero until it was time to leave. It helped me keep my mind off things.



This is the front of the building where they were married. It was surprisingly pretty. They were married at the Orange County Courthouse.



Amber and Chuck fooling around afterwards! It's over and everybody is relaxed!!
