retirements, birthdays and baseball

So I never came back to update... Sorry! Thursday night we went to a retirement party for my Dad. It was for his school so there were 5-6 of them that are retiring this year. They did a little roast on everyone and turned out to be really funny. My Mom wrote my Dad's biography and she did such a great job and had everyone laughing. I was very proud of my Dad that night but at the same time it was kinda surreal. I think it felt that way because the idea of my Dad retiring means life is still progressing and at a rate faster than I would like. He's been talking about retiring but it always seemed like it was something in the future and now that it's here I'm not quite sure where the time went. Okay... enough talking about feelings and stuff. I might start to get emotional from all the pregnancy hormones! Here's some pictures fromt he night, Dad is the one on the right looking embarrassed.







Last night we celebrated my mother-in law's birthday. She wanted to try a new restaurant so I we all met in Irvine at the Caspian restaurant. None of us had been there before so we weren't sure what to expect. It was Persian food and I was hoping the kids would like it. We a ll had a really good time. The food was great! Not only was the food great but they had music and a belly dancing show. To say the kids were enthralled would be an understatement. We got our dinner right as the show started and I don't think either of them ate much because they were so busy watching! this was a place we would definitely go to again. I don't know if I would take the kids again only because you don't eat at this restaurant until late (like 8:15-8:30). We didn't leave the restaurant till almost 10 and the place was packed with more people coming in. I am so glad my mother-in law suggested the Caspian because it was nice to try something new and different. Here's a couple pictures of the kids watching the show with no attention on anyone else at the table...it was really dark in there so bear with me!
my boys!


Ms. K ignoring all of us so she could watch every second of the show

Today Ms. K and Scott have a date at the baseball game. She earned free tickets to the minor league game by reading books for school. She has been looking forward to this for a long time so I can't wait to hear about their date!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
