Pirates of Penzance...

I had the opportunity to volunteer with GPTW (Great Place To Work) for the Intel only performance of Pirates of Penzance, presented by the Portland Opera at Keller Auditorium.

Most of the volunteers met before hand at Morton's Steakhouse for appitizers/drinks and then we spent 2 hours manning the ticket check-in/crowd control areas.  It was 85+ tonight, so we weren't quite prepared for sitting out front facing west, but we had a great time!

Since this was an Intel only performance, the Portland Opera did something pretty awesome and incorporated quite a few geeky/Intel-isms into the performance, including the Intel chime!

Thankful to work for such a great company and have awesome perks like this!

Happy 8th bee-day Charlotte & Mother's Day...

Since her birthday was on Mother's Day this year...we took turns deciding what we would do.  Victor works on Sundays, so it was just us girls....

Awesome Mother's Day gift using her finger prints...

Love this class photo..

She made the paper basket to put everything.

Free strawberry shortcake for me on Mother's Day - thank you Burgerville.

8th bee-day party...

The past 4 years Charlotte has done a large party - like 25+ kids at either her old gymnastics gym or after school care cheer gym.  It was perfect for 25+ kiddos, just to run around, play, hangout and eat cake!  Instead of gifts for Charlotte, we had them bring unwrapped toys for Tucker's Toybox.

This year however, we knew we needed to draw a line in the sand and limit the amount of kiddos.  She chose 4 kids from Dilley a few from Jackson and then a few close friends & her cousin Marilyn.  We didn't know until closer to the party that a few of the Jackson friends & Marilyn couldn't make it, but it all worked out.

Silly faces!
