Things have been really weird at work lately, and have made me think back to the good ol' days, 4 years ago, when I first started.  Even though I did really dislike my job when I first started, it has grown on me over the years and become a place that I love and that is my second home.  We are like a family!  There are lay offs going on within the City, and I feel like I may be one of them!  I am really trying to be positive and am thinking that I really, really want to keep my job... but if I do get laid off, I will be able to spend all day with Kyle and just enjoy this time in his life; I will be able to read more, work on my craft projects; write; draw; spend time with my Abuelita who is teaching me how to knit more and more things; all until I find something new.  

Here are some pictures during my time at HMBPD...

This picture is from my first few weeks at work.  THey have a big photo board right when you walk into the hallway of our department and this picture is up of me.

One year, we had a Records (I work in the Records department) luncheon in Foster City around Christmas time.  When we got back in the car we decided to stop at Hillsdale Mall on the way back to town and see Santa.  We had some really cute pictures taken, but this is by far my favorite!  These are our REAL personalities!  Santa sure loved us! :-)

This is Marie, one of my co-workers, at a retirement party in 2006 for our former Commander.

This is the day we rented a segway and I rode around the parking lot while shrieking with fright that I was going to fall, but also with laughter because it was so funny!  These two were spotting me in case I started to fall.  It was totally hilarious!

  

The day Robert surprised me at work (along with my parents as accomplices) and asked me to marry him. :-) 

So, I am still not sure what is going to happen with my job, but I do have some great memories!  Hopefully I will still be in touch with my Records ladies and all our officers!  

Tonight was really fun!  Dan, Erika and Elena came over tonight.  It was going to be a game night but we ended up just snacking, drinking, talking, and playing with Kyle and Elena.  It was a great end to this hectic week and Dan took the cutest picture of the babies!

happy weekend!

Love, the Campi

BATMAN!

I have been on a total knitting kick lately.  I've stopped into the two knitting stores on the Coastside to buy some nicer yarn.  I went to Fengari, a yarn store on Main Street, and bought this pretty blue yarn.  It's really soft.  I had to ball up the skein myself.  I used a chair to help me.  

The finished product:  Kyle looks cute!

 

I also made this hat for baby Coral.  I knit the hat and crocheted the flower and attached it to the hat.  This yarn is 100% organic cotton and I bought at the new yarn store in Princeton.

On Tuesday night Robert and I went to see NOFX at Slims in SF.  Robert LOVES NOFX and he had an awesome time and was in the mosh pit the whole time.  I declined to participate and opted to stay nearer to the back.  Even so, I still got mauled over by some guys pushing their way to the front really quickly and I got beer spilled all over my back.  But even so, I still had a great time, too!  The energy was very high and they were not only great musicians, but super hilarious, too!  

We bought some patches to sew onto t-shirts for Kyle.  I asked the guy selling shirts and such if they had anything in baby sizes.  That's when he gave me the patch idea!  So I can't wait to make Kyle one.  He will look so cute!  

On a Kyle note, he is trying to crawl at all times, but mostly, he just scoots around on his bottom!  He scoots best with no socks or pants on, just a diaper.  And does he scoot back fast!  It's the funniest thing.  I will try to post a video of it.  He also gives "hi-fives" now!

This weekend, since I have Friday and Monday off, all three of us are going to go to Sacramento and stay with Natalie and Ryen.  I can't wait!  I miss my best friend like crazy!!  

Here is a link to a picture that was taken of us at the NOFX show by SFStation.com.

Coral Ann Myers

Meet baby Coral!  She is gorgeous.  She was born on February 7 at 12:48AM.  She is 20 1/2 inches tall and weighs 8 lbs, 10 oz...  Curt, Sonia and Coral are all healthy and excited!

Photo stolen from Curt's myspace page.  I have been super bad about actually using pictures that I have taken myself... sorry and thank you :-)

Gorgeous...

Curt took this picture of Sonia recently. It's so beautiful and I keep thinking of what a beautiful keepsake this picture will be for them.

Playing the waiting game...

My cousin Sonia went to the hospital last night to finally give birth to her baby girl, Coral. She is still in labor, and no baby yet, as of 8:40am today! I am so excited for her because all of the pain and waiting is seriously worth it and the joy she will experience will be something that she will remember and cherish forever. Can't wait to post a picture of Sonia, Curt and Coral :-)

This will be a short entry because I'm cooking dinner, but I want to make an announcement!  Kyle cut his first tooth today!!

some cute pics!

Kyle got this fun, jumpy toy passed to him from his cousin Elena and he LOVES it!!

So Kyle can now pull himself up into a standing position!  He loves to stand and will stand like this for a really long time.... until he gets tired and just lets go and that's when the crying starts.  Poor thing!  Little by little, he's learning to ease himself down into sitting.   

One of his Christmas presents.  It's a little tricycle-type thing that also switches up so he can stand up and push it, thus start walking!

I tried to do a little Valentine's Day photo shoot but I couldn't get a straight shot of Kyle's face.  Either his eyes were closed, or he had something covering his face.  Oh well!  It's still cute :-)

Bath time is a fun time!  He loves taking baths and totally loves his Dinosaur towel/robe that his Auntie Nicole got him!

Today was really great.  We went to Debbie and Kit's to watch the game and had such a fun time.  Debbie and I talked a lot of wedding, which I love, and the boys drank beer, ate wings, and watched the game.  I usually do not like wings, but Kit's are awesome!  Debbie and I talked about a possible trip to New York City where we could use Robert's Ritz hook up and stay at the Ritz Carlton Central Park.  I am so serious about going because I haven't been since 2002 and REALLY NEED to go back :-)  

It was a fun day, and when we got back, we put Kyle to bed, then sat in our backyard and cuddled, talked, and looked up at the stars.  Such a great way to end the day and weekend. :-)

Elena's birthday party pictures ;-)

My mom and Erika made this cake.  It was so cute and so delicious!

Blowing out Elena's candle.

Nicole and Chris!  I love them and never get to see them except at family parties.  I have to change that!

Robert and Kyle looking all cute :-)

Family picture since my Uncle Carlos actually came!  We had to photograph the event! :-)  It was so great to see him.

All the babies hanging out together.  Kyle is the only boy!

Sonia and Curt.  They are so cute, in love, and so excited for baby Coral.
