it's not all work!!

date night to the famous Pantages Theatre in Hollywood to see the production of Cats. it was amazing (not the show especially, but the whole night) the pantages theatre hosted the annual Academy Awards Ceramonies back in the day, it was beautiful, i felt so cool being there.


then we headed to the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame is, with all the celebrities signitures, handprints and footprints, and the sidewalk stars!! it was super cool, especially when we saw a famous person get chased down by the poparotsy, it was so exciting, but i don't know who the person was, darn!

jonz at the Lakers Vs. Clippers game!


look closely under cobe's armpit, there's my man!


a huge motown dance party put on one of my personal and renowned mentors the one and only Dr. Laura. we had some serious fun. the band was amazing, and i actually got to dance with her for about 30 seconds. it was really neat! she is even cooler in real life. (this is not to say that i agree with all her philosophies, just to note)

Easter Bunny was Even Funner than Santa this year!!

funnest holiday thus far of crew's short life! crew was thirlled looking for eggs, he made the cuttest noises of anticipation with each eggie he found, it went something like this "hu hu hu hu,MMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM" SO CUTE! and his gleefull smile.....well, it was indescribably cute (you'll just have to trust me on that b/c he revolts against the camera) ;>

a library Easter egg hunt!!


making Easter basket with daddy



dessert time with his good friend deacan.



crew feels the same toward the Easter bunny as he does about Santa (bad mom trying to make him sit there for a pic. wink wink)



chocolate egg time

happy Easter
crew's basket



dads basket


dad loved his dodgers attire for the fam!




















caution: my voice fluctuates to a very high shrill of excitment causing some discomfort. anyhow, i was having so much fun with crew amazment find all 40 eggs and then opening them to discover treats and new cars inside. it was wonderful. to condclude our Easter experience, i am proud to say that i made devilled eggs, a tradition that my blessed mother passed on to me!! we love and miss you all, and wished we could have been home to have a Easter feast. (instead i made speghetti, uuhh. a Easter dish i plan to NOT repeat as i have a new goal for next year to make an authentic middle eastern dinner - a simple one of course) a cool idea i got from a friend!


the end

St. Patties Day Parade

cant' wait to see you all again!
