The Jones Girls

Tonight I hosted a baby shower for one of our members in our moms club.  She is due to have her baby next week!   We had a very nice baby shower for her at Mimi’s Cafe in Whittier.    We had some fun games and had a delicious dinner.  The manager comped us a couple of free appetizers.   

I made a pretty diaper cake with lots of cute little baby items and $20 cash.  Everyone else gave her some nice presents too.  

The nice thing about tonight is that it was a fundraising dinner and our club earned 15% of all sales from our purchase of dinner at Mimi’s.  Andrea’s family came and ate dinner also.

My cousin, Kristin, came over with her boys, Brendan and Dylan.  We played on the beach and then came back to the house for lunch.  We got some great pictures and had a lot of fun.    Kristen had to hurry up because they were catching a boat to Catalina at 1:00pm.

Yesterday we picked up Cliff from the airport.  He was a bit grumpy because I forgot to pack him some clothes for the beach.  It was a little cold on the beach this weekend.   Oh well…   He is a home body and would much rather be home.   BORING…LOL!

Uncle Ned said that the girls and I and Rob could spend the weekend at his house.    It will be convenient because I can pick up Cliff from the airport which is only 15 minutes from Manhattan Beach.

We arrived tonight and I made the girls dinner and they all laid down on the comfy couch and watched cartoons till they all fell fast asleep.

We drove daddy to the LAX airport for his one week trip to Japan.    We will pick him up next weekend.

This afternoon we went to a friend, Lana’s, 4 year birthday party.   They had a bouncy house and they have a couple of horses so all of the kids got a fun pony ride.  Then the kids got to decorate their bags and then Lana’s mommy, Karen, put fun treats and candy in the bags as party favors.

Everyone had pizza and yummy stuff for an early dinner and then the kids decorated cupcakes.  

Then the kids played dress up and played with cute little kittens.  It was a fun party.

Savannah was the perfect patient at her dental check up and cleaning. I am thrilled to report that they don’t see any cavities – yay!  She picked a dinosaur out of the toy box.

Savannah’s 2 upper front teeth are really coming in now.  her bottom teeth are all in.  Her incisors still have not come in yet.

Then we headed out to the San Pedro Cabrillo Aquarium and met up with a bunch of our friends with the La Habra Moms Club.  We had a picnnic lunch at the park on the beach then at 1pm we all went to the aquarium.    Everyone had a lot of fun at the aquarium.    After a few hours we went back to play on the playground and then I took the girls on a nice long walk along the water on the beach.

At 5pm we went to Ron’s and I made everyone spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.

It was a great day!

Today the triplets had their girlie party at Sea Scape in Anaheim.  It is a cool place with bouncy houses and guns that shoot Nerf balls.    The kids had a blast and then we had lunch in the party room.   They played a video of pictures that they took of the triplets during their play time and they showed it during the birthday luncheon.   Then they got their fun birthday cupcakes and then everyone got balloons and a goody bag. 

Happy Birthday to my beautiful trio – Amanda, Miranda & Maryssa!!

The triplets met with Dr. Gonzalez.    She said they are all healthy and doing great.  They passed their eye and hearing tests.

Miranda weighs 37-1/2 pounds and is 38-1/2 inches tall

Amanda weights 34-1/2 pounds and is 38 inches tall

Maryssa weighs 30-1/2 pounds and is 36 inches tall

The dr. recommended they could get all of their Kindy 5 year shots at this appt that way I only have to worry about the TB Test when they go to Kindy.  So I told her to go ahead.  I had no idea that they would be getting 5 shots each!  My poor babies.    I didn’t bring the immunization cards because I didn’t think that they would be getting shots today.  I will bring the immunization cards in sometime next week for them to update their shot records.

On a better note, Corrie and her kiddos came over for a play date.  We decorated cupcakes and had a blast!
