HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I just want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! I hope everyone is safe and gets everything they wished for.

As for the Rimando’s, our holiday plans started this morning. Mommy and Benny stayed home as Jett and I headed to the stadium to workout. He likes jumping off all the wood blocks, playing with the medicine balls, and running around the gym. Afterwards, we stopped by Costco for some much needed diapers and goods for the home. Later tonight, it’s off to our friend’s house for dinner, then its home to get ready for X-Mas.

Since Jett can’t read, I’ll share a couple of gifts we got him… trucks, dinosaurs, and choo-choo’s (trains). Thats what he’s been into lately so I’m sure he’ll love everything!  My Christmas came early with the birth of my beautiful Benny Rose that we are so happy about, but I’m pretty sure Santa might bring me something cause I’ve been good this year. On Christmas morning, we’ll wake up, open presents, eat tamales & eggs, then head down to my sister-in-laws house to open more gifts. The rest of the day will involve a lot of relaxing and quality time with the family.

Again, I hope everyone enjoys their holidays as we all bring in a great New Year. It’s going to be tough to have a year like we just did, but I promise come the new year, we’re going to be ready to keep the CUP where it belongs….at Rio Tinto.

Papa Rimando’s New Tattoo

My pops came to town for my daughter Benny’s birth and got this RAD tattoo that represents each time I have won the MLS Cup. As you can see, there’s plenty of room for 2010 on the top.

THE CLASH

I just wanted to share with you all, one of my favorite songs from The Clash called “Police and Thieves.” They are one of the most well-known bands from London who really started Punk back in the 70’s and was led by a complete Legend, Mr. Joe Strummer. To be honest, I’ve always known of The Clash but didn’t really listen to much of their music, but as of recent, really understand why they are one of the best bands EVER!!!!

Below is a video clip of them for you to check out!

Benny Rose

We had a beautiful and healthy GIRL yesterday morning. Her name is Benny Rose and she weighed 6.14 lbs and measured 20.5 inches. Jacqui and Benny are doing great and I still am in ahh that I have a baby girl. Lovin it!!!!! I was able to give her a bath and trying to be oh so gentle and just hold her all day and night. Both of our parents flew in from California and were able to share this special moment with us as well as help with Jett who isn’t aloud in the hospital due to all the H1N1 going around. We can’t wait to go home so they can meet;) Thanks to everyone for their support and prayers.

Lakers vs. Jazz

Here’s a picture of me and Beckerman after the game in the player parking lot. The Lakers lost but the last 3 years we’ve made it a tradition to go watch the Lakers whenever they come to town. We had a great meal at Takashi and then got the VIP treatment at the game. The only thing that would have made the night better was if the Lakers had won… but I guess that’s what happens when Kobe has the flu and a broken finger from the night before.

Homeboy Q&A – Round 1
