In the Spirit of St. Patrick's Day... *an alcohol-related post*

I got drunk.

Okay, not really.  But I did drink all weekend.  And that's festive, right?

We spent the weekend on a little vacay from our normal routine because Joey surprised us with a weekend stay at the Marriott hotel.  It was a nice change of pace and allowed me to relax and unwind a little.

My grandmother's birthday was on Friday so we all got together and celebrated it on Saturday at Ladera Towers, where she lives.

 
Celebrating with the family.

Just some of the women in our family.  Trust me, there's LOTS more.  And can you spot the cups?

I had to squat on the ground since his leg is still fragile.  For some reason, he looks ultra skinny and I look like I have a huge head in this picture.  Annnnnd another cup.

There was tons of food on the table and lots of drinks to go around.  I had a couple glasses paper cups of Pink Moscato and Red Velvet Wine, both of which were delicious!  Our kids are great swimmers so they were in the pool all day, only breaking to eat and sing "Happy Birthday".

Saturday night we went back to the hotel and ordered in from Outback Steakhouse.  It had been a long time since we'd eaten there so I was finally able to get my Bloomin' Onion fix.  We stuffed our faces full and then called it a night.

On Sunday, we checked out early and drove down to Joey's mom's house and spent the day in Merizo.  The kids were still itching to swim so Joey's dad took them to the Merizo Pier and we followed.




 Joey and I watched the kids swim and hung out with his cousins under the shade.  We ate a little and drank a little.  I had a couple beers - and I usually don't drink beer because it usually gives me gas - but it was St. Patrick's Day so... #YOLO!

Joey had a baseball game Sunday night so we spent the evening at the field.  Since I had had my fill of beer earlier in the day and that's the only alcoholic beverage they serve at baseball games, I decided to sneak in some of my own drink.  I felt like I was back in high school pouring mixed drinks into an empty plastic bottle to sneak into a game...

Don't judge me!  I never said I was a good role model.  Don't follow my lead, kids.  Bad things may happen.


The girls and I left the game early because it was a school night (see, still got my priorities in order!) so we didn't get to see the end of the game.  Thankfully, they ended up winning - their first win so far - and the whole team was stoked so they ended up celebrating in the parking lot last night.  So while the kids were sleeping, I celebrated with more margaritas!

I'm not fully hungover today (thank goodness) but I'm still really tired and lazy so I'm ending this post right now.

Charlie Brown.


I've been feeling a little uninspired and overwhelmed the past few days because I've got a lot on my mind.  I wasn't much in the mood to post today but I love linking up for the Style Sessions so I figured I should get it done now and then nap for a bit after.

 Since baseball season has started again here, you'll probably be seeing more pictures of the stadium in my upcoming outfit posts.  This is pretty much the only time I really go anywhere so just bear with me for now.

I'm ready for my nap now.  I have to get energized for a night full of baking because it's Chloe's turn to bring something to her school's bake sale this month. Yay.  -_-

Game Time

Last night was the Smokey's first game in the Guam Budweiser Baseball League and we had a huge turnout.  I usually don't like going to Joey's sporting events because it's just me sitting by myself trying to control my naughtyrambunctious kids as they go up and down the bleachers to use the restroom, get drinks, get food, use the restroom again, get more snacks, etc.  If you're a mother, you know how frustrating this can get.

However, since Joey's leg is broken he's still unable to play so he's stuck coaching from the dugout.  It's actually a perk for me because the kids are allowed to play down in the bullpen since Joey's down there looking out for them.  So for the first time in a long time, I was actually able to watch the game.

I had fun cheering all the players on and yelling at the umpires for their bad calls.  Unfortunately, they ended up losing - but it was still a really great event.  The family and fans of the players got to meet each other and for their first game, they did pretty good.

I can't wait until their next game, hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes last night and get a win!
