Niki's Shower...in West Covina...

{ That's Niki and Joe when they were kids... }

I put together this invitation for Niki/Joe and Aubrey's shower which is being hosted by my Mom, my sister Lupe and me. It's being held in West Covina, Lupe & Jesse's House, because she likes to have people over and it gets so damn cold in the evening that you don't want to stay late!

See you there!

Hollywood Park Memories...

{ Start of the race...Hear the hoofs? }

{ Come on, Come on, Come on!!!! }

We went to Hollywood Parl on Memorial Day...We all got together to celebrate it one more time since the track will be demolished to make way for a shopping center and housing. We actually went to EAT!!! Corned beef sandwiches, fried alita's, a glass of cold beer.

Got to love the memories...
