Birthday Celebrations!!!!

On August 19, 2009

We all celebrated Ahmed's birthday at a Cuban restaurant in Montclair, NJ with his parents.

Cuban Pete was the name

and food was excellent! Marley had a fantastic time and as always leaves a venue with his own fan club. He litterally cried when the music stopped! I mean who's birthday was it anyway?

Breakfast with auntie Tiffany & uncle Delvin

The first day in Jersey. We did what Jersey folks do.......went to the Diner on Rte. 1 and then to the Mall. That was fun. I miss Jerzzzzzz. LOL . Nice hair cut Uncle Del.

Skype part 2

This is the second installment of the MNM mom's! The first picture installment was Me, Stephanie and Corallissa via Skype (las vegas). Last week it was Me, Coralissa and Stephanie via Skype (las vegas). Hopefully next week it will be yours truly via Skype (Los Angeles). And then....one day we will all be together. Meanwhile, I will write to Oprah tell her about our mommy circle and maybe we can unite on her show and get some really cool stuff for boyz....shhhhhh. singing....these are a few of my favourite thingggggggs.

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.

So Much to Tell!!!

I know.......I have been pretty awful with the blogging, but I promise to be better. I don't know where the time goes. The baby and hubby are fast asleep so I am going to take this me time, even though I probably should follow suit. Oh well I will just regret it in the morning and let live! :)

So, about two weeks ago I set out for a job to NYC. It was my first performance job since I had the baby and it felt so good, to be working again. We rehearsed for 2 weeks and flew to JFK and stay in the Lower East Side @The Cooper Hotel for two whirlwind days! My little Marley accompanied me on the trip and he was so awesome. I love how easy he is .........how he just rolls with the punches. While I was working my brother and sister in law watched him and he enjoyed their company. I am so thankful for our family's. I love them. And thank you to our favourite family The Lanes! Thank you Francine & Girls for the long weekend! I could not have done this with out you!

Anyways, on this job. I performed with the artist Kanye West.

We did a one night concert for this watch company called G-Shock at Cipriani's in downtown. We had a great time, we rocked the show and got to wear Herve' Leger bathing suit! Along with black body paint and jabbawocki mask! Beautifly Scary!!!!

That's an exciting thing for a girl who loves fashion. But even more unbelievable to me.....having a baby 6months ago, would I ever think I would be wearing one! hahha

On this trip, I was not the only mama traveling with her infant! There was two of us, and it was awesome. I have to give it up to all the mama's, baby mama's, etc. Working and being a mommy is a tough thing, but it can be done with great support. There was a couple of bumps on this job. ...Unfortunately, there are business women who do not like women with children. I KNOW! Go figure. The men on the job were so accepting and supportive of us being new moms and we didn't even have our children on location. Some things I will never understand. However, I am back, recharged and proud that I rocked on!!!!

Thank you Friends

Donisha & Kelly spending some quality time with Marley. Stephanie and Makai just finished getting jazzed up for a photo shoot. And not to be out done Coralissa and Nainoa join us via Skype, which completes our boys first band photo.
