Happy Birthday to Meeeeee with frenzzz and Babeeeeez!

This year I really could not decide how I wanted to celebrate my birthday. I mean, it did fall on a Saturday and what a waste it would be if I did absolutely nothing for my Birthday?! So, Friday I decided that I wanted to get out of L.A and take a road trip to Vegas. Me and Ahmed ventured off with Marley, for his first road trip longer than an hour. The first two hours he slept! Thank Goodness and the other half of the trip I just pulled out all of my best non-sensicle mish moshed nursery rhymes and songs.....poor Ahmed. ;)

We arrived in Las Vegas late morning and had a yummy breakfast at the Egg & I. (I saw it on the Food Channel with Rachel Ray). Then we met up with Stephanie,Keith and Makai at the Fashion Mall to kill a couple of hours. They are relocating back to NYC and we are going to miss them. Even though we do not live in the same state, it was just nice to know we had Family on this coast. Anyways, we had fun and a lot of laughs. We didn't stay too long, because they had last minute packing and we had to check into the Marriott at three. Only 25 minutes away we arrived at the hotel and it was really nice. The bathroom was awesome! It had a jacuzzi and ........that was a Birthday present in itself! Ahhhhhhh I soaked for a good 30minutes and it was heaven. I could have stayed all nite, but I had plans to have dinner with Coralissa, Nainoa, and the Middleton's at one of my favorite sushi restaurants. They serve this special salmon roll with curry sauce and mango! YUMmmmmm I'm still dreaming about it. After dinner we went back to Lissa's ...had cake, watch all 3 babies play for the first time. My first Birthday as a MOM! I received my first "You're #1 Mom" card! It was so exciting. I will never get tired of getting those even if Ahmed buys it for him. LOL

I have to say the sweetest part was watching our boys play and interact with each other. For the longest time Me, Steph and Lissa have been trying to get into the same room with our son's and it finally happened! Although Steph is going to NYC, Lissa in Vegas and I'm in L.A. They have been my sisters. I really feel a kindred spirit and I am so happy we have been able to share many of the best times of our lives from work, weddings and babies together. We are going to have amazing "remember when" stories later on and many more chapters to share. Love you guys.

Thanks to my Hubby for whisking me away ......I love you.

Aloha Stomp Family

Last Thursday and Friday our dearest freinds Coralissa, Ivan and Nainoa came to Los Feliz to visit. This was our first time our boys have met each other and it was so beautiful and amazing! I feel like we actually live parallel lives with the Deleforces. We both met our spouses through STOMP, got engaged the same month, married the same year, and had big baby boy a trimester apart!!!! We could have planned this if we wanted to but I'm glad we are doing it!

Nainoa is such an awesome and gentle little soul. Marley was so intrigued with him, he could stop staring and smiling at him. I think they are going to be really great friends in the future. We've already putting a boy band in the works. We kind of assigned instruments, but everything is still up for grabs. As far as Im concerned MNM is still the name right? Marley Nainoa Makai. There was a recent birth from our friends Herren and Sam. Their son's name is Skender. Hands down, we've already decided that "Skender on Bass" sounded really cool. Sorry lil' Laybourne, start slappin de bass!

Thanks for spending family time with us, your presence is missed! Move back to L.A! Please.
