My daughter Cassandra surprise me with a birthday dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. I thought it was just going to be the two of us but she so surprise me with a group of my dearest friends. Thought I would post some of the pics of the celebration, got to love those chipmunk cheeks of mine, can't seem to get rid of them. This was very unexpected but so much fun. Thank you baby-girl!

Went to Crystal Cove Beach yesterday with my son Davey and friends. It was so nice to be by the water again. Got to see some dolphins playing in the water too. I packed some sandwiches for Davey and I. I must have not closed the container good enough before putting them in the ice chest, sandwiches were a little soggy, actually they were terrible. We ended up throwing them away. So are lunch was scooter pies, sour cream dip and chips along with soda and water. Next time I visit the beach, definitely will bring a lot more sunguard, came home a little burnt yesterday. Happy Summer:O)

Spending the day with my kids and a bunch of friends at a block party . . . definitely need some fun times for a change. Happy Fourth of July!
