Mi Vida Ocupada: My Busy Life!

Bebe's Birthday Bash

My niece Bianca turned three years old last week so we had a little family birthday party for her at Brian & Michelle's house.

I took plenty of photos while practicing with my camera, you ready for them all??!!

The birthday girl

 

 

Bianca posing with Uncle Jeff and Grandpa Jim in their new "Chile" t-shirts......( Jeff and my dad literally got home from South America the night before the party)

One of Bianca's big presents was a new bike! Big sister Annika helping with helmet

Speaking of Annika.....

 

 

 

Uncle Jeff is so silly....

 

I can't forget the little dude! (who at this moment was in the mood for a photo apparently because he made this face and got all up in my camera!!

 

Last but not least, some pics of the cakes!!

 

 

 
 

Michelle has more photos from the party on her blog so go check them out :)

Family Foosball Tourney XXIII ~ 2010

Twenty three years ago is when the very first Sauer Family Foosball Tourney was established and it is a BFD in my family!  A little history about the tourney: My dad's side of the family had always gotten together the first weekend in January to celebrate the famous birthday of my dad, his sister and his brother and it just so happens that in 1987 the annual birthday party took place at our house.  My brothers Brian, Jeff and I had gotten a rinky-dink little foosball table for Christmas that year so a few people started playing foosball.  I am not sure who I can credit for the idea of creating a  bracket system tournament, but I am pretty sure it is my dad.  He became the Commissioner of Foosball and has kept records of who has won over the years.  Partners are paired up by a random drawing and each year one person from the winning team gets to take home the coveted Toilet Bowl Trophy.  Every year the reigning Champs must re-paint the trophy for the new winners.  This trophy has 23 layers of paint and history! See recaps of Foosball 2006    2008   2009

Here is 2010 Trophy:

Here are some photos of this year's action.  At the very end I have a video of the Championship game.  Proof that things can get a little crazy and wild when you have a Toilet Bowl Trophy at stake!

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

We start them young in the Sauer family! Players are eligible once they are tall enough to see over the table.  Bennett has a few years yet!

   

My aunt Mary who is NO DOUBT the most enthusiastic player in the family (see video at bottom) Watch out when the sweat band comes on! LOL

 


 

Look at this pout!

More Foosball Fun Next Year!

Pizza Time!

My dad's birthday was on Dec 30th and if you have been reading this blog over the years, you may remember that my dad has a very unique and special (almost famous) birthday.  Every year we celebrate together (usually more than once!) and we usually have pizza.  This year we met at Davanni's Pizza (after my bros took our dad to see Avatar earlier in the afternoon) for a quick dinner (review to come soon).  I had just gotten my new camera so I brought it with to test it out.

My niece Bianca

 

My nephew Bennett.  I know this isn't the greatest picture (sorry Michelle!) but I just LOVE that with the SLR only part of the photo is in focus with a blurred background.  Kick ass!!! This is with the 18-55mm kit lens, using flash. 

 

And there ya have it, my first pics with my new camera :)

Happy Birthday Sony!

Today is my bff Sonja's birthday and even though I know she doesn't read my blog very often ( no computer, no internet) I wanted to wish her a very happy birthday.  A few of us ended up going out last Friday for all-you-can-eat sushi/Japanese to celebrate.

 

 

 

I hope you have a great birthday Sonja!

PS Thanks to Lanee for bringing the camera :)

PPS Happy Birthday to Dana too!

Birthday Brunch for My Mamacita......

This past Sunday the whole family met up at Running Aces Harness Park for brunch to help my mom celebrate her birthday.  Here it is 3 days later and I am still full from all the food I ate! Just kidding, but I really was full for at least 24 hrs afterward!

It was a semi-nice November day, nice enough for Jeffrey to show up in his flip-flops.  I have many photos of Jeff "posing" like this one, someday soon I will have to devote a post strictly to these photos ;)

 

A few photos from brunch:

 

 

 

 

These are the last photos I took before returning my dad's camera back to him.  (so sad to be without again)

Glad you had a nice birthday mom and I hope you're having fun in AZ!

Birthday Shindig.....

On Friday night my brother Brian threw a party at their house for Michelle's 30th birthday.  It was fun but pretty relaxed.  Anyone who knows Michelle knows that she loves wine (especially red) and it seems just about everyone brought a bottle of something or another!

Here are a few other photos from the night....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you had a great birthday, Michelle!!

Porkapalooza 2009

I ate so much this weekend that I think I might just be permanently full.
Uggg!
My brother Jeff threw his 3rd Annual Birthday BBQ (remember his 1st BBQ or 2nd BBQ? Last year during his bbq a deadly tornado touched down in Hugo, the city I live in).  This year the feast was appropriately nicknamed Porkapalooza with the main features being Ribs and Pulled Pork sandwiches.  Jeff got a new smoker to do them up just right....

Ribs anyone?

There was enough meat by itself to feed a small army, and in addition to that, I would say 95% of the guests brought a side dish, appetizer or dessert to share.  The amount of food was incredible!! The 10 ft island in Jeff's kitchen was packed full.  Here is what was left after 40 or so people ate:

Jeff had a nice number of both friends and family at the party, here are some of the family pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the awesome BBQ Jeff! Looking forwward to more in the future!

My Little Bro's Big 3-0

Saturday was a special day, as my little brother Brian turned 30!!
He got a nice BBQ smoker for his birthday and had some friends and family over to enjoy some food and help celebrate this milestone. 

 

 

  

We had turkey, beef brisket, sausages, ribs and I also brought over some bacon-wrapped turkey tenderloin skewers and steak. It was like an awesome meat buffet! ( Did I mention that my gas grill died on Friday night right before I was about to throw the meat on the grill? I brought everything over to Brian's on Saturday to cook there instead).

 

I love Brian & Michelle's backyard- it's almost like being in the wilderness!

It was a nice time and I am glad Brian had a great birthday!

A Happy Bday for Kimmy!

Yesterday was my bff Kim's bday.  An extra special one because this was the first time we have gone out together since Kim had her baby two months ago.  A group of us met for dinner at Grumpy's in Roseville.

Kim and her honey

Kim Mary and Me

It was a nice time out :)

No Karaoke for Kritti ;)

Had a good time last night while out with some friends to celebrate Heather's birthday.  Despite the venue (WB Legion) and still not feeling too great, I enjoyed myself watching the assortment of people sing karaoke, some talented, a few brave, and a handful of awful.  The crowd was spared a horrible rendition of anything by Prince because I had a sore throat and swollen glands.  Ha ha .....those of you have heard me sing know I would never torture the audience with my horrible voice.  Not solo anyway ;)

Heather's boyfriend Jeremy was really good (although he is a lead singer in local band Buried by Hope).

 

Heather got up there a couple of times with her sister and friend, they were super cute! I took a video but I promised Heather's sister that I wasn't going to put it on Youtube.  So I guess her stardom will have to wait another day. lol

Tanya and Dana met us up there also, it was a nice reunion (we all went to HS together)

 

Now enjoying the rest of my afternoon before going to see Sevendust @ Myth!

Birthday Party for Bennett

It was a beautiful day yesterday (and today is even better!) for Bennett's birthday party.  I was only able to attend for a little while, but I was actively taking photos the entire time ;)

I wasn't able to stay for dinner or cake, so hopefully Michelle will be posting some of those photos on her blog later ;)

Friday night was the last birthday celebration in my group of BFFs.  WE finally made it through birthday week! lol.  I love hanging with my girls and its great to see each other at every opportunity.  This time we were celebrating Sonja's daughter's 4th birthday.  She had a party with a bunch of little kids on her real bday, so Friday night it was just a few of the girls in our group of friends.  A few pics:
Angelina and Sony.  Her cake was so cute!

Leah
Mary, me and Sandra

That's all for now!

Surprise for Valentina

Happy Birthday today to my BFF Lanee Valentina!
How cool would it be to have your bday on Valentine's Day?  Sonja planned a little surprise party for Lanee last night and I was able to go hang out with my girls for awhile and be there to surprise Lanee before having to leave to go to a concert. 
A few photos:

Heart shaped goodies in honor of our Valentina

Sonja, Leah and Me
Happy Birthday Lanee, I hope your birthday is wonderful :)

Feeling Fabulous

My birthday yesterday was really great!  I felt the love coming at me from all directions and when that happens, it is pretty hard not to enjoy it.  Thanks to everyone who sent wishes and warm fuzzies throughout the day.  It was especially a surprise to see so many people write on my wall on Facebook.  There may have been over a hundred wishes. Whoa!
I have been very busy at work with several things but was able to take a longer lunch to met up with my BFFs for lunch.  Sonja, Angelina, Leah and Kim treated me to a really awesome lunch at Bennett's (I will link to the review as soon as I can get to it).  I also got a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Sony.  It was awesome that Kimmy was feeling good enough to come meet us.... she id due to have her baby literall any day now.  I was hoping for a birthday surprise but this little guy is still a cookin'.  The girls all plead with me not to take any photos of them, but I told them they had to.
Angelina was willing to pose with me!
In the evening it started to snow a little and the temps dropped so the roads weren't in the best shape so rather than driving to Minneapolis to try something new, I decided to go to one of my old-time favorte places, the Lakeside Club.  I had a delicious steak and for dessert I got a chocolate fudge parfait.  Wow!
So yeah, I am feeling pretty fabulous at 32 :)

Succulent Sushi and Cool Company

I am not the best at coming up with titles to my blog posts, but I do love to use alliteration!  Last night I kicked off my birthday with a dinner at Akita Sushi & Hibachi.  I met my girls Dana and Ang at the restaurant for some all-you-can eat sushi action.  Heaven for sushi lovers!  We definitely ate enough to get our money's worth.  Fo' Sho.  I don't know if I have ever been that full in my life.  I ate at least 10 of everything and dang, was it good!  Check out my review of Akita on Twin Cities Restaurant Blog.

Now besides the excellent food, it was also great to hang out with the girls (and the hottie who joined us).  Here is a photo of us.  They have more photos in the posts they each wrote about our dinner. Here is Dana's, here is Ang's

It was great dining with you lovely ladies! Thanks for helping me to kick-off a really wonderful birthday :)

Fajita Night with the Fam :)

Had dinner at my parents' house last night to see them one last time before they head to Florida for the next several weeks.  They'll be gone next week during my actual birthday so we celebrated a little early.... Fajitas in my honor.  My camera is finally working again after buying a brand-new battery so we got a few photos (my dad took most of them with my camera).
Me with my nieces, Annika and Bianca
Bianca in my face saying "CHEESE".  Love it!! So funny

Me with Michelle and Bennett
Brian and Bennett
After our lovely fajita dinner we had a German chocolate cake- the girls helped me blow out the candles
Now if only I'd be able to get away from work so that I could spend my actual birthday with them in Florida one of these years ;)

Bianca's Birthday Bash

Brian and Michelle threw a party for Bianca's birthday this past Sunday.  They had family, friends and neighbors so it was a semi-big gathering.  Lots of little kids :)

I have to say, Bianca is one of my favorite kids ever.  Seriously! She is so cute and has such spunk and personality.  The faces she makes have always cracked me up and now that she is talking, she is pretty charming ;)
Knowing that my brother and Michelle are taking the kids to Florida in a few weeks, I got the girls each a pair of cool shades.  I also got Bianca some Snow White dress up shoes and a My Little Pony.  She loved those glasses!

One of the things I love about Beebs is that she is a girl after my own heart: she loves to eat and she isn't too picky! We had a variety of delicious dips and salsas and then a Mexican buffet for dinner.  Bianca wasn't sure how to eat the burrito when it was rolled up so she just unwrapped it and ate it with her fork.  lol
Bianca loves cake probably as much as her mother.  (Cake is Michelle's #1 food in case you didn't know! lol).  This look on her face cracks me up!!!!! Who knows what she is thinking!!??
Look how big Bennett is getting, he is only about six weeks shy of turning one.  Time flies!

Michelle has a cool slideshow on her blog if you want to see more pics!

Birthday Outting.........

Had fun on Friday night when a  big group of us got together at La Casita to celebrate Sonja's (and Cynthia's) 30th birthdays.  I only took a couple of photos:
The birthday Girls

Party Time!

My friend Kara's daughter is turning one in a few weeks so she and her husband threw a birthday party at their house this weekend so that they could take advantage of the warm fall weather (and their gorgeous, newly-landscaped backyard).  What a doll Olivia the birthday girl is! 

Her hat is courtesy of the balloon man who was there to make fun creations for all the little kids. 

There was also this fun jumpy thing for the kids to play in:

There was an outdoor BBQ for lunch and then a fancy schmancy cake.  (How cool is that?!) The inside tasted as good as it looked!!  The smaller cake was Olivia's personal cake :)

Olivia wasn't quite sure what to do with her cake at first, but with a little help she figured it out!

This adorable little cutie is Shannon & Jere's little guy, Jonah.  He also has his first birthday later this week!

 

The party wasn't ALL about the kids, the adults had fun too :) 

Mary, Leah and Me (whoever took this pic was aiming right at the bright sun!! Oh well, still cute- just a coincidence that we were all wearing shades of turquoise and teal)

 

Shannon and Gina

 

And one with Kara and all her girls

Thanks for the fun party, Kara and Jesse!

Look who turned 3 today!

My niece,  Annika Leigh!

 I can hardly believe how fast the time went! Some of you may remember how excited I was on the day she was born because that is the day I became an Auntie.  My SIL Michelle also details an account of Annika's birth on her blog today.

Every year I have made a collage for Annika, celebrating the past year of her life.  First year, second year, and now her third year......

Brian and Michelle had a party for Annika at their house yesterday and the girls had a great time and enjoyed their new gifts. (It is Bianca's half-birthday today, they are exactly 18 months apart)

Annika and her daddy

The girls both got baby dolls, which they loved so much!

 Bianca is totally in love with her new Elmo

Me with Bennett

Oh, he makes the cutest smiles!

A huge thanks goes out to my dad for letting me borrow his awesome camera! Its been killing me not to have my own for all the random Kodak Moments.

Golden Birthday Bash

Saturday night was my dear friend (and former college roommate) Laura's 31st birthday.  Since she was 8 months pregnant last year on her 30th and couldn't really celebrate, she threw a party for herself this year in honor of her 31st Golden Birthday. Fun times!  I had been really looking forward to hanging with our other college girls, Laura, Sally and Kelly, but another severe storm in the southern 'burbs where those girls were prevented them from being able to come :(
I had a good time anyway....glad I know Laura's sisters and a couple of the other girls who went out with us.  We had a big party bus and went bar-hopping.  Here are some photos:

This is a crazy picture, but I like it anyway!

At the last bar we were at, Laura jumped on stage and jammed with the band!

Nothing like staying up 'til 4am, having a good time!
Love ya, Laura! So glad I was able to come celebrate with ya!

Celebratin' Cheddar Cheesey Corn's Bday.....

Went out on Friday night to Dave & Buster's to celebrate my friend Heather's bday (aka Heather Cheddar).  Heather has given me at least 1,011 silly nicknames (the current being Kritti Krack Korn), so I had to give her a silly one back..... Cheddar Cheesey Corn
Dave & Buster's is cool.....as long as you like arcade games (I DON'T) and are willing to spend $5 per game...(hell NO, I don't).  The food was decent though...I will write up a review when I can get to it :)

Note to self: do NOT trust stupid Google directions if you want to actually find what you're looking for.  Following directions in an unfamiliar place might lead you to driving around LOST for 30 minutes.  Boo!

More fun with my girls....

Dinner with my bestest girls :)
First Mary's bday, then mine, and Lanee's this Thursday.
AQUARIANS RULE!!!!!
Love being able to spend time with them on short notice to celebrate again......
Wishing Kimmy and Kara weren't sick....
Wishing Sonja hadn't had to work....
Wishing this one picture of us had turned out better :(

29 (+2!)

Although today is officially my 31st birthday, I have already celebrated 3 times this past week! Lucky me!

Last night I had one of the best dining experiences EVER.....I finally got to go to Fogo de Chao, a new Brazilian Steakhouse/BBQ downtown Mpls.  This place is a carnivore' dream! They also have one of the best salad bars I have ever seen.  I don't know if I have ever been so stuffed in my life!  We had a wonderful time trying  just about everything they had to offer.
Yay for birthdays, great friends and family!

Breakfast with my Bestest :)

Mary and her family took me out this morning for a delicious birthday-celebration breakfast.  Nothing like braving -35' F windchills for some yummy French toast, (oh, and to celebrate another year :)

Pizza-bday Dinner

My parents had a little pizza party in honor of my birthday last night :)
I will be **29**  (+ 2 if you want to be technical) on Feb 11th.
They will be in Florida for the next several weeks so they wanted to make sure to see us all and help me celebrate before they leave tomorrow morning.
Thought it was cute that my dad, Bianca and I were all wearing pretty much the same thing...

Spring semester starts tonight, so once again I will be on campus every Wed. night until LATE. Uggg. Hope this semester is fast and painless!

Pics from the birthday dinner....

Had a nice time on Friday night with most of my BFF  in honor of Mary's 30th birthday......

Sweet Baby B turns 1!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet little niece, Bianca, who turns one years old today!
Some of you have even been on this blogging adventure with me for a long time now and may remember when she was born. 
How fast this year went!
Today is also Annika's half-birthday (2 1/2 years old). Remember when Annika was born? It's really cool that I have been blogging long enough to document it all!

Brian and Michelle had a really nice party at their house yesterday, the girls had a lot of fun opening presents and playing with all the new toys! I tried to get a photo of them in the matching dresses I gave them for Christmas, but you can imagine how easy that was to manage! LOL

Bianca can be so sweet and her smile melts your heart.  Isn't she a doll?!

Foosball Tourney XXI Recap....

As I mentioned previously, my family holds a Foosball Tournament every year when we all get together for the big Birthday Party.
This is serious business in my family, folks..... no kidding! For 21 years now we have been having the tourney and my dad is the official "Commissioner" of The  Foosball Tournament.
Partners are drawn from a name in the hat and then written into the tournament bracket system....

Winners from past years are recognized in a variety of ways:

The Championship pair must choose between them who will take home the coveted Toilet Bowl Trophy.  They are responsible for re-painting it for the next year's tourney.  Check out the 2008 version! Looks pretty good considering there are 20 coats of paint under the current look!

This year I was paired with my cousin's boyfriend, Tony.  He is really good...so good that we went all the way to the Championship Game!!! Unfortunately we lost :( It was nice having so many of my cousins at the party....this is just a fraction of us!

Wanted to share a few other family pics from that day.....

Birthday fun...

A small group of us went to Sakura for a delicious sushi dinner on Saturday night to celebrate Sonja's birthday.  This place was awesome!

I only took a few photos during the night, (mostly of the food so I can write up a review), but here are some of the group.....

I was also surprised later in the evening when a former very close friend of mine joined our party.  We had not seen nor spoken with one another in nearly 9 years.  A little awkward, if ya kwim.  My neighbor and his buddy came out to join us too, so that was cool.  Too bad some of our key-girlfriends couldn't make it for the evening.  It just isn't the same without their presence :(   I had a pretty decent time, but I couldn't be as fun as usual because I  was sober-cab for the evening. I'm not a big drinker, but on the rare occasion that I get to go out, I do like to have a drink or two.  I just never do it if I have to drive.

So I am off to Target to run some errands and get my haircut.  I need bangs.  I have been hating my hair so much, pretty much since I had it done last....I just need to do something else with it!
Headed to Brian and Michelle's later for dinner.  Can't wait, Michelle is making her famous calzones!

 

Birthday dinner for mom....

My parents had us all up to their place last night to celebrate my mom's birthday with a delicious turkey dinner :)

Some pics...

Isn't my mom beautiful??

My darling "little" brothers...

Grandpa and Bianca.....

Michelle and Annika....

And blowing out the candles on the delicious fruit tort that Michelle made for dessert :)

 

To top of the great evening, I spent some time comparing packages between the Apple Store and Macmall.  You all were correct, I finally splurged and bought my Macbook pro.  I made a few hardware upgrades and bought a few accessories and software as well, so it probably won't get to me for 3-4 weeks, but it will be totally worth it!  I cannot believe how much money I spent, but I was fortunately able to get a teacher discount that saved me about $300.  I also got a FREE printer/scanner :) Oh, and my brother Jeff gave me a $100 credit toward the Apple store.  So I saved about $500 total.  Gotta love the savings!

Happy Birthday Kara!

I wanted to wish a very happy birthday to my good friend Kara! We've had a lot of fun together throughout the years. Here is a collage I made for her....

Kara's fiancee recently surprised her with plans to go to Hawaii for her birthday, so that is where she is right now.  (For the second year in a row.)  Lucky girl! I travel vicariously through her :)  I can only dream of a honeymoon as long and luxurious as hers this upcoming September...two weeks in Italy and then two weeks in Fiji. Wow!

A few of us got together at Champps on Sunday to celebrate Kara's birthday before she left.  I have to say that Mary's little boy Chase looks like a little "man" now with that haircut (He is 16 months old).  He is so cute! Mandie looks fabulous and feeling great about being pregnant.  Her baby girl is due Labor Day weekend, the week before Kara's wedding.  She was supposed to be a bridesmaid but decided that her due date was just too close!

************************************************************************

In other news, the good ol' City of Hugo now has a grocery store about two miles from me! I have waited 5 years for this, people.  It is a big deal.  Festival Foods opened a few weeks ago so I went for a big trip on Sunday.  It is so nice in there! We went a little crazy and spent $250.  We haven't gone grocery shopping together in like 8-10 months! King Crab legs were just $8.88/lb.  Have you ever seen them that cheap? I bought 4 lbs!

Have a nice day...just 3 more days of work and then I get a week off before summer school starts!

Fajitas!

We had a yummy dinner at my parent's house on Saturday night.  Since they will be in Florida for the month of February and will miss my birthday (Feb 11...same as Christina P), we celebrated it then.  As the guest of honor,  I got to pick the menu...chicken fajitas with all the fixin's and cheesecake pie for dessert.  My little brother Jeff made the fajitas....

Ahhh, I love fajitas! Just not the lingering smell of peppers and onions in your hair and clothes after cooking it inside, kwim? I hate that! I had to shower and change as soon as I got home because I smelled like one big Fajita Mama:)

On Friday night  I went out to dinner with friends to  Khan's Mongolian Barbeque.  Good stuff! I ordered an aqua-colored drink so that I could take a pic and use it for when I do my layout in Valerie's Aqua Circle Journal.  It was called Surf Monkey and wasn't quite as blue as I needed it, so I tried tinting it in PS.  If someone can help me with doing a better job than I did, please help me! I also need to blur the background or something. I will e-mail you the original to work with.

Today  I went to Quack's for lunch and then we had friends over all afternoon.  Somehow I managed to finish this layout for my friend Trudie's Circle Journal.  Her theme was "the essence of nonsense" which to her means "theme-free, no rules, let your creative spirit flow" in a 12 x 12 format.  I thought and thought about what I wanted to do...no theme? Yikes! I also had a hard time getting into a collage type feel so I just went out there on my own and this is what I came up with:

I arranged some of my silk flowers into a glass bowl and took pics to use on this layout.  I think it turned out just as colorful as I wanted! Isn't it pretty!? I see Trudie at work every day but she does not want to see my creation until she gets her CJ back at the end of August! I am glad all of you wanted to see it!

I also wanted to post this pic of me and my friend Farrah that we took at work the other day.  We work together but we have also been friends since college!

Kimmy's Birthday Shindig

Last night Rog and Lanee came and got me and we went down to  Patrick McGovern's to meet the girls for Kim's birthday. 

We were at the restaurant for a few hours and then headed over to Tom Reid's. Lanee and Rog were very excited that Cory Stevens and his band were playing for FREE! I guess he is a National act and pretty popular. Lanee made me go up to the front of the stage to dance with her...good Ol' Shaniques, as I like to call her! I whipped my camera out and took a picture of her with Cory Stevens standing right behind her. She was thrilled!!!

Later that night we went to 4th Street Station but not much was happening there...I did run into Richie Z,  but the band wasn't jammin' that night so he had a few beers with our group. It was fun to get the girls out without their little babies!
