"Start spreading the news..."

We headed to New York 2 weeks ago to visit Glendale Baptist Church. We had a swell time getting to know the people and the neighborhood.


Rock's first time on the bus, and our trip down memory lane. I had not been on a public bus since I was a little girl with my grandma, and PJ since he was little with lolo.


Atlas Park is a shopping center with nice stores and a nice big train and an area where kids can get wet during the hot summer months. Rock absolutely loved it and could have stayed there forever.

Happy Birthday mommy and pops!

Before we left to New York, PJ, the kids, and I celebrated their birthday's on Thursday at Cheesecake Factory, one of our favorites, and their first time there.


It was originally just suppose to be mom, pops, and us but we had a lovely surprise when our dear sister and niece, that were near the area in Brea, decided to join us! The more the merrier :)

Dear mom and pops,
We love you and pray that your love for God will grow and that you will see Christ more glorious and that he will be reflected more and more in your life. Praise God for another year in your lives! We hope the books we gave you both, will feed your understanding of God's word, and his grace to grow you in holiness, but not because of what you or I do, but because what Christ did on the cross. Grow in grace.

Love,
The Tibayans

We're off to New York!

We're going to Queens, New York and we’ll be out there until August 4. If any of you are in the area, I’ll be preaching at Glendale Baptist Church for the next two Sundays. I’d love to see any of you if you’ll be in the area! Click here for the address. Please pray for us.

Their unoffical date

He rang the door bell...
She came to the door, but with her father...not exactly what he expected.
Small talk broke the ice...
They headed to a place, a bit more private.

A great dinner to top off the night.After all the horse play, they rested side-by-side, but NOT for the night.

I think we will all regret this, if this is true in 16 more years.

Key's 2 month shots

Wednesday was Key's doctor's appointment.

Key was messing around, and wanting to examine me..."open mouth mommy."
"Open eye's mommy."

At this point she hadn't received the shots, but once she did, she cried (I felt so sad), and right after knocked out. Poor little baby Key.

Our 1st hair cut together

Rock had his 2nd hair cut on Tuesday, but look who did it!





It came out okay, for it being my first time. Sorry Amy-lou, I tricked you :)

Danika day!

For Danika's birthday I decided to take her to Sprinkles! Once she told me she loved cupcakes, I told her I had to take her to Sprinkles for her birthday (7/20), and then to the beach where she could enjoy Rock and God's gorgeous creation.

So on Thursday, we (PJ, kids, Jennifer, Tita Angela, Rachel and Jerry) headed over to Newport, where we ate lunch at our favorite pizza joint, ZPizza.

Then, to cupcake land...


We gave this little guy a small piece of red velvet, but apparently he was love stricken...I have no idea how he got a hold of the wrapper!

After filling our tummies to the brim, we headed over to the sandbox...The two were inseparable (like always).

They tried building sand castles together...

watched dolphins swim by together...

But one thing they didn't do together, was like the water-- together.

Praise God for another year in Danika's life. She's been a big blessing to our little family (Rock, Key, PJ, and I), by her kind, loving, servants heart, which is a reflection of our Lord Jesus. We were so happy to take Danika out and enjoy her silliness (eating cupcakes at 12am while laughing at everything, and getting milk spat in our faces--thanks Danika).

Danika,
We love you and hope we see you grow more and more into a beautiful woman that fears and loves the Lord who became sin for us. May you see the cross more glorious and real in your life now, and in the future years.
