June 2, 2006-Jayden Lee was born to one of my closest friends Anna Banana. He is such a cutie! Before and After.

My baby girl plays the viola and in May had her first concert. She was awesome! My best friend Horacio and I went to watch her play and the kids sounded amazing! Nobody can play happy birthday on a viola like my Bri Bri can. :-)


Williamsburg...Briana, her friend Halle, one of my closest friends Diego, and I set out to Williamsburg for memorial day weekend. Great time. We went to Busch Gardens, Water Country USA and had a great time.

If you are scared of riding roller coasters, its best just to get a picture in a seat outside the ride and pretend you rode it. :-)


Check out my poor baby in the bird cage....They tried to eat my BRIANA! Luckily she made it out alive.




Mor Salsa Dancing! In my quest to continue my salsa moves, here is some more pics from a local salsa club called Caribbean Breeze. Pictured is one of my favorite girls Leshia and Earl Rush www.stuckonsalsa.com. Also Mario, my favorite fellow organizer! Check out the shirt...:-) Official Salsa Meetup Shirt.

Here are some pictures salsa dancing at Clarendon Grill in Arlington. I love dancing there because you will find some of the absolute best salseros in this area and they are the best to dance with as I continue my pursuit to be an amazing salsera. In the blue shirt, is my AMAZING salsa instructor Michael, in the black shirt is Keith, owner of Lation Motion Dance Company and instructor at Clarendon Grill, in the white is one of San Antonio's best and my friend Emilio, in the grey long sleeve is very seasoned salsero Kevin, in the red shirt (is it starting to sound like the United Nations here??? lol) is Joel Rodriguez, long time dance instructor of both salsa and rueda, and the last picture is a photo of some of the 400 salsa meetup members. Check us out at www.salsa.meetup.com/162.








A few weeks back, I went to Avenue to meet up with two of my friends having a birthday.... Happy Birthday Vince and Liz. We had a great time dancing our tooshie's off. What a great time!

I just cut my baby's hair last night. She is such a cutie!

DC Salsa Meetup Family Picnic-www.salsa.meetup.com/162. As mentioned in previous posts, I am an organizer of a Salsa meetup group here in DC. We get together and eat a lot of salsa with chips while seeing who can still stand after 7 tequila shots and then we......oh damn...wrong group. Um, we get together and dance salsa at local venues and have such a great time. This past Sunday, we had over 85 members in attendance at a picnic that I organized. We had some of the biggest names in Salsa to include DJ Andy, Earl Rush, Sam Rodriguez, PsyonMauricio, Tanya Fiske, Joel Rodriguez, Barb Bernstein, etc. We had an amazing time and although stressed from having this picnic the day after I came back from Cancun, it was definitely well worth it. Special thanks to my baby girl Briana and her friend Aby for checking people in and being our security guards. :-) Enjoy the pics.

CANCUN-I had the chance to spend a week in Cancun this past week, April 29th to May 6th, with some friends, sans Miss Briana, and had a great time. We ended up meeting some awesome people. If you have never been to Cancun, you have GOT to go! So much to see! Aqua blue waters and wonderful people not to mention Corona, Dos XX, Tecate, Sol, and well you get the point...Lots a beer! Enjoy the pics!

My best friend Sabine and I with our new friend Clint that just so happens to be from TX too!

Cancun will also make you do some wild and crazy things such as getting pierced and sticking balloons in your shirt and limes up your nose...Just lovely...





I went to Florida with my baby girl Briana from April 6 -14th and proceeded onto Arkansas to visit family for the weekend the 14th -17th. We had a great time and always love the chance to visit Florida! My best friend Horacio was also able to join us for a few days. I also had the chance to visit Mr. Reunion Organizer himself Yamel and do a bit of salsa dancing. Enjoy the pics.
