The Weekly Catch-Up (2011, Week 15)

I am a little late on this weeks catch-up as it should have been posted on Saturday. (Better late than never) Last week during the weekly catch-up I mentioned that we took the train down to Old Town Pasadena but I failed to mention that it was the same day that Brooke learned to say "Hi" and she said "Hi" and waved to every person on the train. It was cute!!!!


Home: Saturday, the girls, mom and I went out to the Camarillo Outlets to get the "Belle" costume that Sydney would wear to her Princess Party on Sunday where we served a super cool Princess Cake. Favorite present was probably her singing Belle doll from Grandma and Grandpa.


Wednesday night a bunch of us went to Indio to hang out at Matt's timeshare (Worldmark). It was a blast hanging out with my brothers and sisters catching up and the kids loved hanging out in the "Penthouse" with their cousins. Brooke was thrilled to have Micah and Nathan around and wanted each of them to play with her, neither were too interested but I have a feeling that will change over time. We had great food which included ribs made by Matt, spent time in the lazy river and went in our private jacuzzi each night. My favorite part I think was reminiscing about times past, particularly Rachel reminded me of how when we went to sleep at night we would ask our siblings to "tickle my back". LOL, good times. Most everyone left on Friday but we stayed longer and spent Friday visiting the Cabazon outlets where I spent way too much at the Gymboree store....thats a surprise.
