Celebrating a new Guardian Angel

On Friday February 17th, my Grandmother who was the matriarch of our very large family (6 children, 26 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren) passed away at home. She lived a very long and wonderful life, passing at 90 years old. We went to Los Angeles for the services and was blessed to be reunited with my family. My grandma would be so proud of us all coming together and being there for each other.

There are many pictures in this post, I couldn't resist since there were so many cute ones!


Bailey and her Grandpa playing with his iPad.

Saying "nigh nigh" to her Grandpa

We had breakfast at the famous Bob's which is right near my dad's house. This is my first time acting like a tourist and taking a picture with Bob.

Going out to play in the backyard that I was fortunate to play in growing up at my childhood home!

She loved the flowers...

Checking out the daffodils. The neat thing is, these are some of the same daffodils my mom planted. They keep coming back. This is where the daffodil became my favorite flower. I remember planting flowers in this garden with my mom when I was younger.

Walking with Wes on one of her many laps around the yard.

She loved kissing all the little statues in the gardens...

I love this shot of her and the backyard I grew up in...

I took her out front to meet my old dancing partner, the jockey. I loved dancing, hugging, and kissing this jockey as a kid.

Since Bailey has been born I have been telling Wes I want a picture with me and Bailey in front of the house I grew up in. I finally got what I wanted!

Bailey was playing peek a boo with her cousins at the reception for my Grandma. She was in red for my grandma since it was her favorite color. She was being so cute, I couldn't help but take so many pictures of her and all her cuteness. The reception was at the same place Wes and I had our wedding reception almost 5 years ago! Very neat to bring Bailey there.

Giving hugs to her Aunt Ali-Sun! My sister is leaving for a year+ adventure around the world tomorrow, so she had to give her some loving before she left.

This morning before leaving, Bailey was watching TV with my dad while we were packing up. She was a tired little girl but enjoying some cuddle time with her Pops.
