A Birthday Surprise

Today my husband Andy Florez is 35! I decided with the help of my friends to give him a great surprise party. It was held at my mom's house and he really was surprised. His two sisters Ginny and Jacqui also came for the weekend. We had a great Fiesta with Taco Man at the grill making tacos to order.........Yummy!!!!!

Celebration of Life

Today would have been my Dad's 79th birthday. In the Jewish religion after you bury a person you don't lay down the head stone for at least 30 days, then you have a get together to unveil the stone. My mom and I chose to have the unavailing done today because we thought it would be a great way to remember him and celebrate his life. Grass can be placed as a remembrance that life is fleeting, and stones were taken to the grave site and placed around the headstone to symbolize that we were there and remember his life. It was a beautiful tradition that I learned today and want to pass it on to my children. After the ceremony we all went to eat, "walking to nourishment" to symbolize that we walk forward in our life as we walk along side with our grief.

We have been busy this summer entertaining the kids. We have gone to Palm Springs, the aquarium and to Knotts Berry Farm. Kara has had dance classes and both Ethan and Kara have been in swimming lessons twice. The kids have been playing with their friends and even going to the movies.
