The Meneses Spot

Thank You

Cathi and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came to the wedding, and for all the help everyone gave. We hope you all had a good time, we'll remember the day forever.

If you have any pictures of the wedding please do email them to me so I can put them up here. I don't want to look conceited by only putting up pictures of us. Thanks again, I promise not to get emotional this time

Something for Aunt Liz

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to bring a card to the wedding for Aunt Liz. I'll do the rounds with it and everyone can sign it and give her a message. If you also want to put some cash in it, we will get an address and send it to her and the girls right away. Even if you can't give any cash, please sign it, I'm sure knowing everyone is thinking of them will give them comfort. They were only able to take one suticase each so they are probably in need of a lot of things.
See you all at the wedding.
Alli

Happy Birthday John

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to John Meneses today. We all hope you had a great day and have many more to come.
*********************************************

We also want Aunt Liz and the girls to know that they are in our thoughts and prayers. Liz and the girls are safe and staying in Tennesee. The next few months are going to undoubtedly be very difficult for them and they are going to need continued support from us. If anyone would like to arrange to do something for them, we think that would be a good idea. Put it up on the blog or send out an email.

Baby Shower

Veronica and Caroline shared a baby shower at the Favereaux's house this past Saturday. Everyone had fun scrapbooking.

I just want to personally say to both Caroline and Vero, hurry up and have those babies already!

Everett's Two

Everett turned 2 on the 26th of August. Here's a picture of the little man with his cousins and his Aunties.

Bree Haven Grimsley

Congratulations David and Maria! I've finally had a picture sent so this is my first look at the newest little Grimsley. She's a cute little one and at least to me, she does look more like David. I can't wait to get to meet her in person. I still don't know if I'm spelling her name right, so if anyone knows please feel free to correct me. If anyone else has pictures please send them to me so I can get them posted. We hope Dave and Maria are having fun (and getting sleep) with their new child.

Baby Showers

Meneses women are getting to do a whole lot of bonding this year. They'll have another opportunity August 27 at Maria Favereaux's house in Shafter. Caroline Koontz and Veronica Grimsley are both having little boys, what a surprise! The theme for this shower will be scrap booking. Fun starts at 4 o'clock and you can call Maria or Elvia to RSVP.

The dress looks great on you Susan! It looks like everyone had a good time at Cathi's shower in Terra Bella.

I had to post this one of Lisa and Andrew, we haven't seen a new picture of his in a while.

I think this is the picture that was being requested.

Fishin'

I hear that Nate's in the lead in the fishing derby this year. Doug's probably right behind him. And now we have a new name to add to the board. Connor caught his first two fish up in Dunsmuir, California. He might not be beating Nate any time soon, but he could pass me pretty soon. If you have any other fishing pictures be sure to send them to me so I can post them.

More Congrats!!!

Rudy and Raquel just had their brand new baby boy!! The new baby's name is Marco Guerrero and he weighed in at over 8 pounds and was 19 inches at birth. Of course, I think the name was a good choice. Another boy, who would have guessed it? Well congratulations to the Guerrero family, we can't see to see the new little dude. We'll have more details and hopefully pictures later.

According to my mom the baby was born on the 18th.

Congrats!!!!!

As we can see from the message Gabe left, Maria and David have a new arrival. Bree Haven Grimsley (I hope I'm spelling that right), what are we going to do with a girl running around now? I haven't heard exactly when the baby was born, and how Maria's doing so we hope all is well. Someone needs to send me pictures so we can share them here. Well, congratulations to you guys, take care of that baby. We can't wait to see her, the sooner the better.
If any of you people around Porterville get a chance I'd love to have pictures up, thanks.
Mark

From what I'm hearing it sounds like the baby was born on the 27th, and she looks more like Dave.

Cathi's Bridal Shower
