mmm...

...apple pie! So, I baked my first apple pie the other day. I got the inspiration after my aunt baked one for my grandparents 66th wedding anniversary. Mine tasted delicious (says Tommy) but it was too runny. I used 4 apples (3 from Idaho and 1 from Albertsons). When I made the dry mixture it looked like a lot, but I used it all because that's what the recipe called for. I also added butter under the top crust. I don't think I could have used less apples, because then the pie wouldn't be plump. Do you know why my pie was so runny? Does anyone have a good apple pie recipe...John and Rachel?

teenager

Last weekend we celebrated our nieces 13th birthday at Presidio Park. It was a cupcake tea party. They had miniature foods and lunch meat that was shaped like hearts and flowers. Sydney and her friends played some fun games, for example, magazine scavenger hunt and musical presents. I met Sydney when she was 3 years old. I can't believe she's already a teenager!!!

Is she excited or what?

cruisin'

Two days in a row when I came home I noticed the stuffed animals were posing on our bed. It reminded me of our 1 year anniversary when we went on a cruise. When you cruise, the maids make animals out of towels and pose them on your bed. So cute!

my new sticker!

Here is my new sticker I put on my car. Isn't it cute? Thanks Rachel. I haven't forgot I still owe you. :)

birthday wishes

Happy Birthday! Today is my 28th birthday. I would like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes. The 3rd grade class I am subbing in made me adorable homemade cards. Tommy took
me to Miguel's Cocina in Coronado. We had a beautiful sunset on the way to the restaurant and we enjoyed a delicious plate of pollo asado, fish taco, cheese enchilada, rice, and beans. For my birthday they gave me a mud pie...my favorite!!!

My grandpa's birthday is October 3rd. He is 86 years old.
We celebrated with a Costco cake and balloons! Francis will be 9 months old on the 5th!
