I like to PAINT

  • Decorating_044
    I like to pick up a brush, dab it in paint and paint on anything in site from a clean canvas, an old canvas, watercolour paper, scrap wood, walls, closet doors, clothing, etc. Think I've passed the trait down to my kids.

I like to MAKE CARDS & INVITATIONS

  • Winter Weekend (29)
    Inspired by my own children's imaginations, I came up with a way to match their colourful ideas and my love of birthday parties. Creating personalized invitations and birthday themes, we always end up with some great memories and happy children!

I like to MAKE THINGS

  • October Pictures 062
    Sometimes I find things that I love when I am out shopping and other times I have a picture in my head and that's all I'm going to settle for. Most of the time I can make it and it turns out exactly what I picture in my head. It's definitely a trait that I inherited from my parents and I think I've passed it down to my kids

I like to throw CHILDREN's PARTIES

  • Maya's birthday week 022
    I love birthday parties. I love to see the kids play and have fun with their friends. Our house ends up being a big mess before, during and after the event but the kids have a great time and it's all worth it.

I love Family

  • Ugliest_kid_ever1
    Found these old family pictures and it just brings back memories... most of the time my sister and I had a ball... sometimes we fought like crazy... but we did have fun. Take a peek and you will see.

Christmas 1, 2 and 3

What a busy but very fun past few days... we headed south (not south enough to see grassy fields - but south just the same, to see family and not enough friends) on Saturday and made the trek back today. John and I are exhausted but the kids seem to have abudant energy. They couldn't wait to unpack all the things that I told them were off limits until we hit home turf. Wyatt showed everyone just how happy he is, Maya showed her dancing skills and Jax built every Lego set that he got in record time. Here are a few shots of our travels. I took over 250 pictures in 3 days of Christmas festivities! Thank you everyone for making yet another holiday totally memorable!Christmas_2007_006 Christmas_2007_021 Christmas_2007_064 Christmas_2007_035 Christmas_2007_075_2 Christmas_2007_017 Christmas_2007_103 Christmas_2007_076 Christmas_2007_138 Christmas_2007_139

Comments

The house is empty, the floors are bare, the halls are still decked but quiet. It is hard to recover from our Christmas Hangover from the traffic, sights and sounds of Children and Children at Heart. Thanks Everyone for a Christmas which would have been "solemn" without you all. It has been a luxury to be under one roof lately, but it will always be a treasure, the memories of Christmas.

Kisses from Lolo and MamaChiqui
