L.A Birthday!

Yes, Alex celebrated his 1st birthday a 2nd time August 25th. What a spoiled baby :) My Auntie Abet was kind enough to host a party in her Glendale home on Saturday. Alex seemed more at ease partly because he was now used to having numerous relatives and friends handle him. He even gladly dove into his cake (hands and feet!)

So, I actually wrote a whole other blog a week or so ago but the darn computer lost my draft :( So, I got really lazy and delayed writing another one until I was settled back in Denver. Alex and I spent a week and a half in Cali and it was a blast! The day after his party, we celebrated my Uncle Bob's 60th birthday by throwing him a surprise birthday party. We Filipinos love our parties. My Auntie Abet pulled it off perfectly. Alex was even on his best behavior despite staying up till 10:30 p.m! That's late for a baby whose bed time is at 7 pm. The weather in Cali was a bit warm (high 90's and even a few 100 degree days) that it made going out quite a daunting task. However, we did enjoy a day at the beach and even cruised around to check out those famous Malibu beach houses.

Another highlight of the trip was my run-in with television host Kat Sadler. Kat Sadler who you say? Kat Sadler is cohost of the Daily 10 on the E! Entertainment network. It basically sums up the top 10 entertainment stories of the day. Yes, I am a celebrity gossip junkie. Anyway, I was sitting at a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in a Ralphs grocery store in Glendale. I was happily sipping my ice-blended when I randomly thought how cool it would be to spot a celebrity. Maybe a Nicole Ritchie perhaps? She was pulled over right down the road, going the wrong way on the freeway. I was people watching and noticed this petite brunette and her two young boys picking out cakes in the bakery department. I nudged Mike and muttered under my breath that the lady looked so familiar. Mike of course started to look around saying, "What? Who? Who is she? What is she on? Daily 10? What the heck is that?" I quietly explained my presumption and he urged me just to ask her. So, I quietly approached her and asked her if she was indeed Kat Sadler. She was and she was very polite and appreciative that I watched her show. She was a cool lady. Not a Nicole Ritchie or Paris Hilton, but I doubt they would have been as nice :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!

Okay, this is one day late (so sorry Mikey) but HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! It was Mike's 27th birthday yesterday! Hooray for Mike! We celebrated by going out to our fave Chinese restaurant John Holly's. After dinner, we enjoyed a Coldstone Ice Cream cake at home and called it a day :) A little low-key but hopefully we can celebrate a bit more when Mike's family comes out next week for Alex's birthday. Yes, that's right...Alex is almost 1! But, that's a whole different subject. This is about Mike, how great he is, how handsome he is, and how we love having him in our life! You all know what a wonderful person Mike is...as a husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He truly is the best :) Here's a few pics from last night!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Don't let the looks fool you, it was delicious!

Hmmm...I might just try this out.

Alex is a little distracted.
