May Round-Up

May was a busy, busy month for us.  Too much happened to write individual posts for them all. So, I wrote about Mother's Day and my Grandma's birthday. Here's a summary of the rest of the haps in photos (and there are an obscene amount of photos here, people).

June, so soon? Egads!

Great-Grandma Turns 80!

This past weekend, my Grandma (Mom's mom) turned 80 years old. There was a big family reunion to celebrate. All of the cousins were together for the first time in 5 years (since her 75th celebration in Vegas). It was also great to spend some time with Aunt Jill, since we miss living close to her in Portland. It was a HOT one in LA over the weekend (and everywhere in CA really); close to 100. But, we all pushed through to help celebrate an amazing lady.




The cousins!

 Because this is how Mexicans roll

And Italians...

Love my family!


A joyful moment!
