This weekend was not only to honor our fallen heroes and kick off the Summer season- For the Kimerindez Family, it was also to celebrate Christy’s thirty-somthingeth birthday.
The weather was perfect for Barbequing my special hamburgers and hotdogs and watching the kids frolic in the yard. If you watch the slideshow below, you may even catch a glimpse of Truck-a-saurus Rex, a future Diva, and the elusive Sasquatch lurking in the shadows…

As Steven’s Senior year winds down, the fun part begins. Last weekend was Marshall Fundamental’s Senior Prom held at Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. As the event drew closer, Steven had the idea of having the Merino Home as the hub for all of his friends to gather before the Prom, take pictures, and coordinate carpools.
Christy saw this as an opportunity to spruce up the backyard, prepare some ‘Mock-tails’ and snacks, and give the crew a proper send off. I saw this as an opportunity to take a crap load of pictures so the kids didn’t have to worry about paying an exorbitant amount of cash for a junky picture with a cheap background.
I guess I wasn’t the only one with that idea as all of the kids’ parents arrived at our house with cameras in hand ready to snap away. With 26 students and at least as many family members, our backyard resembled a post-Oscar party. The cameras were going off like the Paparazzi around Brad and Angelina.
Here is Steven with his date, Liz:
Here is a slideshow showing all of the fun of the Pre-Prom Party:
It’s that time of year where we turn the tables and shine the spotlight on the one person that is usually the one pointing the spotlight on us- our mothers. This year, the Kimerindeztein family celebrated at the Merino home base and relished on our favorite Hawaiian Food. The food was plentiful, the kids well behaved and the gifts well received. I was scared that Christy would not be happy about her new iPhone, but she warmed up to it after a few days.
