Sand sculpture

Nils and I went to a sand sculpture not too long ago and I forgot to write about it. We had lots of fun! It was very cool to see all the different sculptures and the creativity and ability of the people that made them. It was such a pretty day to go outside and enjoy the weather and so we did : )

Fall is here!

Fall is here and we love it!

At first when I moved to Seattle I close all the doors to everything and anything because I wanted to go back to sunny California, but now I'm falling in love with Seattle little by little. And this fall certanitly help alot! I love the leaves falling, all the diferent colors of the trees, I've been enjoying the rain more and more latetly and it's not too cold after all.

It's also the time of the year when the Sundelins start baking and wearing cute sweaters. Here are some pictures of us enjoying this fall : )

Our halloween weekend

One of my favorite times of the year is here, Halloween! I love Halloween because we get to dress up, last year we had Wendy with us and we got her a butterfly costume, but this year is all about Charlie.He has 2 costumes this year, the first one is the straw man from the wizard of Oz, and the second one is lion head... and let me tell you he looks adorable!

This year Nils and I went to a haunted house with some of our friends on Friday night. It was the first time I went to a haunted house and I was so scared, specially because I got tricked into be the first one to go in and I was terrified, but we had fun! The next day we went to a Halloween party and dressed up, I was a police officer and Nils was a Peruvian ( he wore my clothes)

We were also excited to give candy away, but not alot kids came over, so we had lots of left over candy which was not a good thing for us since we are trying to loose weight. But overall we had a very fun weekend!

My 24th birthday

I woke up the day of my birthday by Charlie licking on my face, I open my eyes and saw this:

I laughed so hard, he looked super cute. After getting up from bed, I opened up my gits and I got some really cute stuff that I loved. Nils and I went out to get breakfast together at our favorite place "The pancake house" and it was yummy. Unfortunately, Nils couldn't take the day off work, so after eating some delicious breakfast he took me to a nail salon to get my nails done for my birthday and he went to work. After I got my nails done I couldn't get off the phone. Alot of people called me to wish me a happy birthday and it felt really good to feel the love. I didn't notice how long I was in the phone for until I heard Nils opening the door and realizing it was almost 6pm, time to get ready to go out to dinner to Benihanas.Nils invited Tiffany, Tore, Angel, The Hullingers and Shaun who was in town for work. We all got together and got some really good food. It was nice hanging out with everybody.

Thanks everyone for making this birthday so very special.

California trip

Last week I went to California by myself for my best friend's baby shower. I got to LA on Thursday and hung out with my friend Andrea who picked me up from the airport and took me to the beach close to her new home. It was a beautiful sunny day and we walked on the beach and caught up with each other's life. I was so happy to see her and hang out with her, she's awesome!

On that afternoon my cousin Tata picked me up and took me to his house to meet his newborn baby Gia. We hung out for a couple of hours, and at first his older daughter, Giselle, was a little shy, but eventually she became my best friend. Giselle and Gia are super cute and I really enjoyed spending time with the Rivera family.

That night my brother Pablo and my Dad picked me up and drove me to wonderful Murrieta, where my family was waiting for me with a chocolate cake (my favorite)! My dog Bruno was super excited to see me and couldn't stop jumping on me and licking me. I've never seen him like that before so it was really cute, I wanted to bring him home with me. The next day my cousin Alejandra came over to pick me and my brother Pablo up and went to get her sister Kaddin who is living in the San Diego area. We all went to Pacific beach to eat some lunch at this cute little restaurant by the beach.

After a nice walk on the beach and going to see Alejandra's new place we headed back to Murrieta. That night, the girls and I went to downtown Temecula to meet up with my friend Alicia and her friend Tiffany and got some dinner together.

The next day was already Saturday, baby shower day : ). In the morning my Mom and Ale went to do some shopping for the baby shower. My mom and I were planning to go together to the baby shower, and so we did. We had a good time, even though it felt like it only lasted about an hour. I feel like every time I visit time flies by waaaayyy too fast. I was very happy to see my beautiful friend with her cute belly and hang out with her, I also got to hang out with Jazmine, who I haven't seeing in a very long time. Jazmine took her son and so I got to meet him too, he is 2 years old and super cute. I was in charge of the games and helped out taking pictures of Alicia opening her gifts. She looked so happy and had a good time, all her friends were there and it's always good to know that she enjoyed her baby shower.

After the baby shower, my mom and I went out to dinner to one of my favorite restaurants "Daphne's" that they only have in California. After eating dinner and spending some lovely time with my Mom, we went home to pick up my Grandma and Bruno to go for a walk.
Sunday morning, my Mom and Grandma had to sing at church so I went with them to the spanish branch and saw some people that I really miss. After church we went back home and hung out with the family. Alejandra and Kaddin went over to say bye. My Dad made ceviche and my Mom made chicken and rice. We ate all together and took some pictures. After eating, it was already time for me to pack my stuff and go to the airport. This time was a little harder to say bye to my Mom because we grew so close to each other and I don't know when I'll see her next. It's kind of weird to live so far from each other, I really do hope that changes one day. I loved seeing my family and I wished I could have stayed a little longer but my husband and puppy were missing me too so I had to get back to them. I always love to go to California and see everybody. It was an amazing visit and I hope to go back there again soon.

Lady GaGa

I have the best friend in the whole world! My friend Angel decided to give me an early birthday gift...to take me to lady GaGa's concert!!!

It was super sweet to give me this gift! We had so much fun at the concert! That day he came over to the house to get his hair blue, thinking "we need to be a little crazy for gaga" but then we arrived at the concert and the blue was nothing! This picture explains it all:

I enjoyed the concert so much! She did such a great show that I became a crazy fan! We dance the whole 2 1/2 hours of the concert and had a blast. So thank you Angel for this unforgettable gift!

Sergio came to Seattle : )

My brother Sergio came to visit last month and we had so much fun! It was so nice to spend time with him and to show him where we live. The weather was on the 70's during the whole week he was here, so it was perfect! We played rock band almost every day. We took him to a sounders' game, to downtown, to chocolate factory, went swimming and to Snolquamie falls. We loved having him over, specially Charlie, he loved waking Sergio up every morning and playing with him.
We love you Sergio and hope to have you visit us soon!
