Benny In His Element

By | Celebrations, Sports | 2 Comments

This year was an all out event in terms of tying everything up towards the theme!    

My nephew AJ, a budding artist 🙂 designed the logo which he formally presented to Lolo 

We even had a beach bag with a name tag, team shirts, and set of three toiletries from messy messy – anti mosquito, room spray and hand sanitizer!  Not only do we get to use them, it becomes our souvenir after

Another part of the celebration of Lolo’s birthday were the games!  On the first night there was a parade of the tribes and we paraded by teams

Lolo always tells us that when he celebrates his birthday he wants to just see us all together happy and enjoying each other.  In every occasion, Lolo joined us and watched us.  That is how he is in all our lives.  He is always present whether it’s a graduation, in the hospital, or any important occasion in your life, he will even go to wherever you are in the world if you are undergoing an important medical operation!  All the children agree that that was how he was as a father – he would go with them to the dentist to make sure they all had clean and healthy teeth 🙂 

We divided our family into three teams.  It was so funny because everyone was so competitive!  Each team really strategized on what moves and who they will assign in each game! 🙂

Even the kids were very serious!  🙂

Volleyball.  I am hiding under the shade because it was really hot – but the players were out there seriously trying to win! 🙂

Coach Anthony Tordesillas Memorial Cup

By | For kids, Sports, Tributes | One Comment

Last February, Javier joined a tennis tournament, the Coach Anthony Tordesillas Cup

Coach Anthony used to teach my nephew, Ramon and my two sons, Jaime and Javier, tennis. ( I am having a hard time looking for the photo with Coach Anthony and the kids )  He was a good friend of my brother in law, Mike.

He passed away a few years ago and this tournament was started by his brother, Roque Tordesillas.  Proceeds from the tournaments goes to a foundation to aid tennis players who cannot afford
