captain america = david a. mathis

Last month we had to say goodbye to one of our closest friends David Mathis. He was deployed to Germany and we had one final night to wish him well. It was probably one of the best nights I've ever had out in Folsom!! Ramey (David's girlfriend) and Vanessa, David Moore's wife were my two sidekicks and boy did we have fun! The pictures are enough to prove it. lol.

Before the night started, the 4 of us went out to lunch at our favorite place Mongolian Grill and then we went shopping at the $.99 cent store to see if we could find any goodies for the night! These hats were fun but they didn't make the shoppping cart.

had to capture this precious picture of David and Ramey - it's a framer!

And so the drinking starts...

three peas in a pod! the folsom wanna-be's

my adorable husband and i

it was so hard to get these boys to pose a million times for a good shot. here is one of the best ones. they've known each other for over 8 years.....and still best buddies. just precious.

beautiful becky and baby luca

One of the best things about being in college is the friendships you make within those 4 years. Becky was one of my nearest and dearest friends and roommates and she just became a beautiful mother this year (one of many)! Becky had the cutest shower I've ever seen in my life thrown by her talented sister in law Sarah. I'm not joking when I say these two could easily open up a store and I would probably buy every single thing in there. They have such an impeccable taste for decorating and party planning. It was magical holding baby Luca, seeing Becky and just catching up with old friends. The girls met me at our good friend Amy's house, she was kind enough to let us stay the night there and even fed us too!!!

Here's our little college crew with mama Becky and baby Luca!

The minute I held Luca, I started crying he was so tiny and so beautiful and just the most perfect size. I was having big time baby fever!!!

That night we got to spend a wonderful dinner out in Tulare with Becky, Nick, Luca and our crew. It was soo fun and sooo yummy! The next day Amy cooked us all breakfast and we sat and chatted before hitting the road home.

and here's the handsome devil again! Look at how precious he is!! he fits in 1 hand!!!

can i have one now Gregg?? hee hee

a little farmers market

One of the greatest things about living in Campbell is the adorable Farmers Market that happens every Sunday morning. All of these wonderful vendors comes out to showcase their fruits, veggies, crepes, breads, olives, salsa you name it! It's such a fun thing to do on Sunday mornings and everything is so affordable. The first time we went with our good friends Jeremy and Jess except it was raining. This is what I looked like! Gregg was just thrilled but I know he was just jellie about my galoshes :) 

hop hop goes the bunny

So it's pretty much a given that whenever we hang out with The Romano's we have some of the best memories and some of the greatest inside jokes are created. This year for Easter we were so lucky to have a big dose of Ash and Jay. They started with a big trip up to Northern California visiting family, friends and ending with us in Sacramento! We did so many fun things, dinners, easter egg coloring, out on the town in folsom, snooks ice cream, walks by the capital, movies, etc. Below are some fun filled pictures of our amazing Easter weekend.

 mmmm snooks!
