Metro Pt. in the OC 12/20/08


Steve and I have a childhood friend "Stevie Donn Rodriguez" who has been singing professionally since right out of high school. His band now called "Heart and Soul" play all over So. California. Steve and I went down to "Metro Pt." in the south coast plaza area and listened to him sing and play with his son "Dennis"who is on the Sax and on keyboard Jimmy Seville. It was a gorgeous winter night, cold and crisp. We sat drinking "Irish Coffee" and talked with old and some young (KiKi) friends. It was a really fun evening.. Steve sang Christmas songs as well as several new songs he's been working on. Hope you enjoy this one, it's one of my favorites..

Merry Christmas



Steve and I want to wish all of our friends and family a very Blessed Christmas..



It has been a Wonderful and very "Full" 2008. Steve and I were given two more beautiful grand daughters, Paige Wallace from Aaron & Sarah and Tallulah Day Ireland from Sean and Molly. Steve and I are so blessed to have all three of our boys living close by so we can watch our grandbabies blossom into beautiful little girls. I have the best time behaving like a big kid again while playing with the girls.

**All that truly matters in the end is that you loved****

Pictures with Santa... Sort of..











This last week Molly, Sarah and I took my grand babies




to Cerritos Mall for a "Fun" picture with Santa. Tula was awesome, Paige was "so so" tolerant and Reagan would have nothing to do with the big Jolly old man. So, after a couple of Santa pics we sat the girls outside Santa's Studio and shot (or tried to) our own pictures of the (might I ad, the cutest girls in the world).





GG these dresses you bought the girls are soooooooo beautiful and they looked super adorable in them.

































Naples Walk

Every Christmas one of the things we love to do as a family is to take a walk along the Naples Island boardwalk and check out all the magnificent homes all decorated with Holiday Lights.
Our best friends live on the water so we enjoy the beauty of Southern Cali at its finest...Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall..
