A greek orthodox baptism

Yesterday me and the boys went to our very first Greek Orthodox Baptism. It was a really interesting and a new experience for us. We went to support my friend's daughter who was getting baptized. There was a lot of people there to support her. I felt like a fish out of water because I didn't know what to do. I was watching everyone and looking at their body expression to see what to do next...LOL! I had no idea what they were doing because we were seated in the back and I also had no idea what they were saying. I have to say it was the longest baptism I ever been to. After the baptism they had a luncheon and it seem like forever that we were able to eat and I was starving. You can tell that a lot of people loved her and was there to support her, it was also Susie's birthday (the girl getting baptized) so it was a special event. One of my favorite parts was the food of course, I love Greek food. I am just glad that the boys were good and enjoy the music. One of the things I realized that all the Greek girls are not that good looking and you can tell who is Greek and who isn't lol. Oh another thing everyone got a gift so I thought that was pretty cool. I never been to a baptism where we got something. It was a cute vase thing that had two angels on it. Its the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Now we will always remember that we went to a Greek Orthodox Baptism.

My favorite time of the year-HALLOWEEN!!!

Our family picture for Halloween 2009.

Me as a 49ers Cheerleader. Everyone was giving me crap saying I was a Redskin Cheerleader. Come on I am 49ers fan! My mom made me the costume and I think she did an excellent job!
Chris as 49ers football player!


Rocky as Bumblebee Transfomer! He loves transformers
And Brody as the cutest Football ever!

We had an awesome Halloween together as a family. Chris was off so it was great to be all together. This year was the first year we went to the mall and I have to say we are going to go back because they give you a butt load of candy. Then we went to the old folks home like every year. Rocky likes going there and going to each person and getting candy but they did it a little bit different this year so it was kinda disappointing. Instead of having us go inside they had table outside in the front and we just were able to pick candy up from the tables. I think the reason why they did that because of the swine flu and to be careful about not getting the seniors sick. Then we went to trunk and treat. Whatever happen to the tradition. I always loved going door to door with my friends and trying to get the most candy. I hate trunk or treat and Rocky was kind iffy about that. Come on going trick or treat to each trunk is kinda strange to me. Now that Halloween is over onto Thanksgiving. This year has come by too fast. I can't believe that Brody will be 1 next month, it seemed like I just had him. He grew up too fast, faster than what Rocky did that is for sure. We are thinking about having Thanksgiving at our house this year since we got our own place but I am still debating about that one. So overall this Halloween was awesome. I am so glad Rocky is at the age where he enjoys Halloween a lot more and he can also pick out his own costume!
