Halloween Party 2009

Every year a few of the doctors I work with throw a huge halloween party! It is so much fun. People go all out and it is so much fun looking at everyone's creative costumes. This year, I have been planning to be Sandy D. and Danny Zucco from Grease.

The costumes were so great this year. Here are some of my favorites.

There had to be a Michael!!! This is Dr. Radich, an anesthesiologist who dressed as MJ's doctor... Got Propofol?... and his wife (MJ).. They were great and she looked amazing!!!

We had some Gilligan's Island!

This is Anthony (Moses) and Mario (dead gangster). They are scrub techs at Fresno Surgical Hospital with me and we work a lot together!!!

We are with Tim (Pimp) & Sabrina (Bride) and Karen and Ken (roller derby diva and ref.). How creative!

This is Dr. Tanner. He is a hand surgeon and I work with him almost every Tuesday. He hosts the party every year. I inspired his Bulldog Cheerleader costume!!!

This is Rachel. She dressed as Janice Joplin. He has her "Nickle Bag" of parsley and was so proud of it!!!

This is Mark, who dressed as 2 Pac... he is white!!! He painted himself black and totally looked the part. We were sitting around a fire pit for 5-10 minutes before I realized who he was.

Laguna with the Girls

So a few weekends ago my mom and I went down south to visit Lauren. We had such a blast. We stayed in a beautiful hotel overlooking Laguna beach area. It had some awesome decoration ideas for you creative girls out there! Also, the gym overlooked the bay with a huge chandelier above the workout equipment... I would definitely be in better shape if my gym was that cool. We got facials and mani/pedi's. We went to dinner with a few friends of ours, Danny Roberts and David Roberts at a place in Corona Del Mar where lauren knows the executive chef. It was tasty to say the least!!! (Side note... check out Igor and Andre which is Danny's website!) The weekend was full of fun and wonderful memories!!! We can't wait to do it again!!!

We have lots to update you on!!!

We went to napa in the beginning of October with the Harold and Margie, Aaron and Christy, and Cherie and Aubrey (Blake was on a business meeting). We had such a great time. We went to the Culinary Institute of America and a few other wineries and got to soak in all the beautiful scenes. The whether was fantastic and we had some great food!!! Thanks for the fun!

Fun at the Zoo

Last Saturday I went to the zoo with Aubrey Rose, Blake and Cherie and Margie. When we drove up to the parking lot entrance, on the side of the road was Travis and Logan DeManby. So, we made a day of it and explored the zoo. It was a blast. I have not been there since I was a little girl... probably 10 - 15 years. They have made so many incredible improvements! One of the most interesting exhibits for me was the monkeys. The entire cage is draped with ropes so the monkeys have places to swing. They were very active when we went. The girls (and Blake) were so intrigued with all of the action.

Aubrey was just checking her wing span against the vulture... she has some growing to do!

Another fun thing that the zoo offers is a trip to the giraffes where you can feed them. Their tongues are probably at least 1 foot long. Aubrey was so cute because she was really into it at first then when the tongue got close to her, she began leaning away more and more... my picture sequence was awesome!!! Logan was also fun to watch because she would stick her tongue out during when the giraffe would.

Margie and Aubrey had fun looking at the swan swimming around the mote.

This bear was so adorable, it looked like my Chihuahua all cuddled up in the winter time!!!

The girls loved hanging out with each other. Logan would help Aubrey Rose around by holding her hand. When Aubrey was standing up high on the railing, Logan would want to join in... lets just say it was fun to watch them interact!
