Beach Time

We headed out to the beach today to spend some family time. We had a great breakfast at Sharky's and then walked out to the beach. As you can see, Anissa found a sea dew that she just had to get on top of. Not sure who it belonged to (we thinking the lifeguard) but she had a blast getting on it. 

 

Pumpkin Patch

We took Anissa to her first pumpkin patch today! It was fun seeing her feeding the animals and trying to carry a pumpkin. My brother and parents joined in the fun...we celebrated my brother's 37th Birthday with dinner after the patch.

Outing in Pasadena

We decided to have dinner in Pasadena tonight! Nice change of atmosphere.

Rooster...be afraid!

Anissa's first encounter with a rooster... she wanted to stick her fingers through the gate!

We all went to the beach today and had some fun on the swing. Anissa loved it so much she smiled the entire time. We can't believe how big she continues to grow. we love watching her experience new things.

The family went out to walk around the Santa Monica promenade. It was an interesting escapade to say the least. We ran into some strange people at dinner. Anissa had a good time looking at all the performers and the lights. It was nice to get out as a family.

Can I borrow that?

Arturo was having fun with Anissa and put his hat on her. She looked so cute!

Lemus BBQ

My brother & nephew Sammy came up to LA from SD to visit for an afternoon. We had a last minute BBQ to celebrate. Here are pictures of my nephews (Sammy & Julian-who is off to MIT next year) and Anissa. The bottom picture of my brother Ruben and Anissa.

Visiting Grandma Vicky

We went to visit Grandma Vicky & Rana today. While on the visit Arturo and I went to go see Slumdog Millionaire while Anissa stayed back! Thank you for babysitting! We really appreciate it.

John & Eva's Wedding

We drove to San Jose to celebrate the wedding of John & Eva. Anissa did so well on the drive. To my surprise, she slept through most of it. Our friends, Delfina and & Brian hosted us for the weekend and Anissa was able to meet baby DeMarco! They had so much fun together.

Look at how cute she looks in her dress. Arturo was in the wedding so he looked real sharp in his suit!

Clarissa's First Birthday Party

We attended Clarissa's first birthday party today! It was so much seeing Ethan and Clarissa and Cindy with her big belly ready for Baby #2 (It's a boy!). Anissa loves parties!

Here is Jasmine & Ethan!

My mom and me!

My dad and Me!

We brought out the jumper for Anissa today! We thought that she was ready to enjoy it now. And lo and behold, she was! She got in and was totally excited to be in something different besides a swing. She was not able to turn herlself just yet but she liked being able to be upright by herself (without mom and dad).

Lunch with the Girls

The de la Torre and Palos-Rodriguez girls came to visit Anissa for lunch! Anissa loves being carried by Arianna. Can't wait for her to be a babysitter!
