Uriah and Chantara Perez

Sunday was the big day!!!
My cousin Uriah married Chantara :)
So we headed to the Event Center that the wedding was held at. About 100 people attended the wedding. My uncle JC conducted the ceremony, it was such a cute wedding!! :) After the wedding my family and some of my relatives hung out at Starbucks before heading to the reception. The reception was catered with authentic Hawaiian food, it was so delicious!!! :) After we ate our food and hung out for awhile then we headed back home...

Road Trip to Idaho

      This weekend we drove over to Idaho to go to our cousins wedding. It was a long drive, but it was worth it. We got there late Friday night and settled into our hotel room.
     On thursday we woke up just in time for the complementary breakfast, then we headed over to the Perez's house to hang out. After a short nap, I was energized and ready to play with my cousins. I took Juan, Jed, and Lily to a little park near their house. I had a great time. Later I taught Jed how to ride a bike!! :) Which was so awesome! And I also shot some hoops, and rode bikes some more.
     Than we had a barbecue with some of Chantara's family and some of our family. I ate so much yummy food!!! When we were totally stuffed, my family headed back to the hotel for some rest. Rainey, Juan, Jed, Caleb, and Sarah went swimming at the hotel. (Which had a really cool looking pool.) In the evening we went back over to the Perez's and hung out some more. The highlight of the night was going to the park with my cousins. I can't describe the feeling, but its like one of those moments that is just perfect :) I love those moments!!! and I had a few of them on this trip :)


Here is some pictures:

CONFERENCE

Wow I am behind on posting!!! Well I am going to put up some pictures from the NW Bible Confrence. It was a great week!! I got everything I wanted out of it!!!! I really enjoyed spending time with friends and family, and all the awesome sermons I heard. It was great, unfortunately I did not get very many pictures though..

On Tuesday we went to Scotty's with Jacqui and Danielle

I got to hold this little guy, alot!!  :) I miss him now :-(

 Grace and I both enjoy doing fancy hairdo's. So on friday afternoon we got together at my house (we had been planning this for a few weeks, so we had sweet hairdos planned.) I had a great time :) It was nice just hanging with a friend and doing something I love, we also blasted some sick tunes. Anyways I think our hairdos were a success, because we got a lot of compliments!!!

Heres what Grace did

Here is what I did

Grace curled her hair so it looked super awesome :)

Crazy Grace ;)

Not only am I looking forward to the encouraging sermons, refreshing fellowship, and serving others, I am so looking forward to hanging out with my cousins and friends that will be there. I will try to take lots of pictures so that I can blog about everything that happens :) Anyways have a fantastic week!!

EASTER

Hello everyone, yesterday our family spent resurrection sunday (when we weren't at church) at my maternal grandmothers house. We were able to bring our wonderful friend Eddie along with us... We enjoyed all of our traditional Easter delicacies, like deviled eggs, hot cheesy potatoes, baked beans, ham, chinese chicken salad, and of course meatballs and rice. It was all so tasty!! I am not going to lie, we actually bond by watching the television together. The Altringers and Ovalles were with us, unfortunately since the shows were pretty lame we spent most of the time just making fun of them....

My family

Rainey in her new Easter dress :)

Diego likes to stand in front of the TV so that I can't see it when
I am sitting behind him. lol

Eddie knows how to smile, but doesn't like to do it for a nice picture... he was "scared"

Eddie and Rain

I actually cut myself out of the ^^ picture because my eyes were closed, but this is proof that Eddie smiles. BTW that is Rainey flashing a gang sign...

Alana turns 3

Hey guys, it is Destiny again :) Alana turned 3 years old not to long ago, and we went to her third birthday party on saturday. There was yummy food, cake, and even an Easter Egg Hunt! It was mostly family, but some friends came too.

Here is the beautiful birthday girl in her princess dress
