Girls Trip

After Darren's bday weekend, my mom and I drove up to Tahoe to help my grandparents do some repairs around their Tahoe house. My grandpa took me out on the lake bright and early Thursday morning to do some Kokanee fishing, the best time to catch is 6am! I caught three fish!

The lake was amazingly calm and the weather was perfect, I was in a tank top and shorts by 8am.

After working at the house, we decided to plan a girls trip so my mom and I took my grandma to the casinos to do some gambling! It was the weekend of the Celebrity Golf Tournament so the casinos were filled with professional athletes. We tried our luck on the slots, roulette and at the black jack tables but unfortunately we were not big winners.

We did enjoy a lovely dinner at 19 which is at the top of Harvey's.

Prettiest meal - Chilean Sea Bass with Lobster...YUMMM

Cottoncandy arrived with our check. YUMMM again.

The Banuelos Family was up in Tahoe so I got to hang out and play with them for a bit.

1:30am and we finally decided to call it a night. Grams was a party animal!

We had to order room service since we worked up such an appetite after gambling. Burger, fries and nachos - soo healthy!

We checked out of the casino and headed back to the house to finish up some work.

Painting time!! This is pretty much one of the ugliest outfits ever but I had to show off my painting attire my grandma dressed me in. Mom jeans that came up 2 inches above my bellybutton and a cut off shirt - jealous??

Finished project! New bathroom

Darren's 30th Birthday Weekend

My brother Darren turned the BIG 3-0 this past Monday so Heavy, my sister and I headed up to the bay to help celebrate with the birthday boy. Those of you that know Darren know he is never content with just one party, this year we had 3 separate events - pub crawl, golf and BBQ.

Since one of Darren's favorite days of the year is St. Patty's Day, we decided that the theme for Saturday should include lots of beers, Irish bars and green attire. Audra organized a party bus to drive about 30 of us to some of San Francisco's best Irish pubs, it was such a fun day!

Sunday morning, day two of celebrations for Darren, kicked off with 12 of us going golfing at Dublin Ranch Golf Course in Dublin. It was a super nice day with little wind which made golf a bit more enjoyable, most of us were fighting hangovers so we needed all the help we could get. Mark kicked all of our butts with shooting 3 over par!!

After finishing our rounds, we headed back to my parents house where the BBQ had already started. The boys played some beer pong, we took a dip in the pool and enjoyed a few more cocktails with a lot of family and friends.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN!
