Birthday Celebration & Trojan slumber party

Happy Birthday to Sarah, Jen and Cindy! 

Intimate dinner @ Park's Kitchen 

Learning to make Korean dishes. 

Uni, shrimp pasta, yum! 

Tyler & friends came up for the USC vs. Cal game. 

Yay for the win!

Half of Tyler's friends drove up at 5a just so they can have lunch at Google. 

Time to work off all that we ate and drank. 

SF tourists 

Dim sum picnic at Palace of Fine Arts 

Breakfast right before the big football game 

Game time 

Swifty "concert"

Swifting it out with my neighbors. Fun evening of dancing followed by dinner.

Mark hanging out with the beautiful delosSantos family.  Gell was Mark's first SCU friend and groomsman. 

Celebrating Popo, Ethan, Jen and Sarah's bday. 

Watching USC game ... we were all so happy b/c USC just scored a touchdown and took the lead but then lost the game to a field goal :(

Mari scored a goal this weekend! 

Sunday afternoon boba run 

Tyler's home for 30 hours this weekend ... navigated to Catalina Island for his sailing final. Sounds like he's learning useful life skills in college ;)  One of his highlights was sleeping on deck to see the stars. 

 

Ethan's 17

Bday boy chose Benihana for his celebration this year. 

49er game & family bday lunch.  Unfortunately, Bday boy's team didn't get the W. 

For his next bday, he likely won't be home with us :( 

Back-to-back bday parties ... celebrated with friends in the evening. Teenage menu: Panda Express and Krispy Kreme. 

Homecoming Dance with his buddies.  No date needed, just good friends to hang out with. 

Japanese tapas with my neighbors

Google's 1st West Coast store where you can get swag and Google hardware.  Go check it out @ Google Mt. View campus, it's open to the public 7 days a week.  There's even a cafe (not free tho).  

Tyler and his sports fanatics traveled to Norte Dame (South Bend, Indiana) to support their Trojans. Tough loss but glad they're still smiling.

USC Family Weekend

Back for another family weekend - so much fun being a part of the Trojan family. 

Tyler's 3 roomies + parents. So grateful he's surrounded by nice friends. 

We met Dr. Folt, USC President, and surprisingly got featured on her Instagram. 

SC Trojan vs. Arizona Wildcat game. Triple overtime - way more excitement than we hoped for but glad it ended in a W.  

Tyler has his classmate sold wooden USC ornaments during family weekend. 

So fun staying with the Guerroros. 

Nice visit with Brandon, one of Mark's groomsman.  So fun to eat and catch up. 

Meanwhile, Ethan and Mari held down the fort at home. 

Uncle Bryan took them out to Kura Sushi for FFF. 

Korean dinner with Gma and Gpa 

Mid week Chick Fil A lunch date.
