{Meghann's 15th Birthday Party @ Grandma & Papa's House!!}

We got VERY lucky this year on Meghann's 15th birthday...it fell on a Saturday so that we could spend the whole day with Grandma & Papa in Hemet! Grandma planned out a whole day of fun for her party! We played games, ate WONDERFUL food, and enjoyed the BEST company! Meghann loves that her Grandma & Papa are so thoughtful and think of her all the time! We invited David to come and enjoy the day with us as well so that Grandma & Papa could meet him, since she's met both of his Grandmas...had to even up the playing field and subject David to the "once over"! Hee, hee! Of course he passed with flying colors...Grandma & Papa can see how happy he makes their granddaughter! Thanks again, Mom & Dad for your wonderfulness and for always making home such a happy place to be! We love you! ♥

{AWESOME Grandma & Papa bought Megs an iTouch! They also bought her some wonderful watercolor pencils and paper for her to practice her art. She didn't look so good in that picture, so she can thank me for not posting it!}

{Nice green cover for your iTouch Megs...oh, wait, why don't you just hand that over to Daddy since you've been using HIS since Christmas and have all YOUR crap on it! Hee, hee!}

{She huffs...she puffs...she gets all 15 candles blown out! PHEW! Yummy FunFetti cake...thanks Grandma, it was TASTY!}

{On the patio for lunch...couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather!}

Dad & Mom

{♥Fred & Rosie's 50th Anniversary Par-Tay!♥}

Family and friends all got together on 13 March 2010 to celebrate 50 years of marriage between Fred & Rosie Hernandez. These are 2 of the most WONDERFUL people in the world! They have overcome obstacles with love and patience and dedication to family. What BEAUTIFUL role models they are to everyone that meets them and is blessed enough to have them in their lives! We are SO lucky to be included in that bunch of people!{The 3 Walkers}{Dan, Elvis & Cindi}

Meghann decided that she would like a hamster for a birthday gift this year! Since she just got a new dresser, we figured she could keep the habitat up there and be totally responsible for little Cammie. We've had a name change already...Megs decided she didn't really look like Rhino, so she was calling her "Hammie" all the time and Mike said she looked like "Caramel", so we combined the 2 and she's CAMMIE now! She's a super cute little hamster and has already brought a lot of joy to Meghann's day! I'm sure she'll keep doing that for many more days to come! Lani didn't seem to bothered by her running around the house in her little ball, but of course that could change! Lani is pretty easy-going, so we know it'll be fine. Especially since "that thing" (Lani's opinion of her, I'm sure!) will be in Meghann's room most of the time! Welcome to the Walker family little Cammie! ♥

{Meghann's 15th Birthday Celebration....Continued!}

We're SOOOO excited for Megs' birthday next Saturday! Our young lady will be 15 years old...{SIGH!} She wanted to spend her birthday with "The Boy". Last Saturday we went to dinner with his family (parents, Grandmas, Aunts/Uncles) so we thought it would be fun for HIM to meet some more of OUR family! So we'll be heading out to Hemet so "The Boy" can meet Megs' Grandma and Papa! It should be a fun day filled with playing games, good food, and a nice family time! Pictures will be posted...

Thanks for your wonderful hospitality Mom & Dad! :-D

{Happy Birthday....to ME!}

WooHoo! I don't know HOW I'll get anything done today @ work when all I'll want to do is play with my new iPhone! How FUN! I can do so many cool things on my new phone! Now I know what you meant, Mom, it IS fun to "have an app for that"! :-)

Happy Birthday to ME! What a fun new present! Thanks Mikey!
