PhotoHunt #9 - thankful

This week's theme in photohunter is Thankful. I chose to post the picture of my ds because I am most thankful for ~ a son, healthy and happy. I am also thankful for all the other blessings that were (and will be) bestowed upon me, my family, and the people I care for (...and don't care for).
tfr!

C.I.A. #8

Ds thought that a roll of poster is such a nice toy! We went back to school today so I can finish some important issues. So, while I was busy with my work, I caught ds playing with the paper and had fun with it! tfr!

Roses. . .

I found a very talented glass bead artist who delicately make little beads with roses "painted" in the glass! Beautiful is an understatement to what she can create. She maintains a blog [click here] for you to keep up to date to her newest creations.

My Dh and I were invited to gather at our df's house. We decided to go since it's been a long time since I had a chance to meet them. Again, I'd like to thank the host, Mira, for the opportunity for us to meet new friends. It was nice to know that Lou, Barb, and Dhoy are paid blogging as well! I need to get a seminar from them! It was also great to meet Josie and her pretty little girl again. Thank you ladies for being so friendly. We enjoyed your company. God Bless! tfr

C.I.A. #7

My ds is so fascinated with any writing utensil lately. You may notice that he cannot let go of his wagon, either!

PhotoHunt #8 - Warm

We're on a tailgating party at my neighbors this cold December day. My dh and ds are enjoying the snow on the ground, the food being served, and the company while I was next
to the fire.

Stampin'

I went to my df's house to try my skill on stamping. Guess what, I think I went overboard just stamping all afternoon! I thought it was fun just trying all the beautiful stamps my df has! This girl has all the stamps you can imagine! The day was not enough to even have the chance to look at each one... I am glad she opened her drawers of stamps for me. I went through the 4th drawer and I was happy... I did not have the chance to count how many drawers there were ~ just so many! :)

I realize that stamping is a very relaxing (as well as very addicting) hobby. The time I spent at her house was very "fruitful" now I just have to grab someone to use the stamps I made so "I can justify why I have way too many" - hahaha! [This quote sounds so familiar]

My stamping venture was a little overwhelming if my best buddy freddy did not help me... He is a cutie! He likes to help and never fails to do so whenever I am at her mom's house.

Freddy playing next to me. He even tried to stamp his paw on my paper...

My best, Purrfect Friend Freddy was a big help today!

A photogenic Freddy and I! I had to take this picture for someone before I bid goodbye!

Ethel is such a cutie, too! She's photogenic as well..

Feb 14th

I am so happy to go home with a little package outside my house from ProFlowers. My dh is so thoughtful to do that and so does my little son! They're the two most important boys in my life and the flowers are just extras that warm my heart.

lovely colors

lovely bunch!

card making class #2

Today, my df from school, came with me to try her talent on making cards. I like the fact that I can have some company during a 20-minute drive to the class. When we arrived at the store, we were welcomed by the Chocolate Fest that the store's owner prepared for the ocassion - Feb 14.

we took a break to say "cheese"!

First fun card we made for the day! I love the bees! It was fun to measure and fold the paper to make this stand up card. I am sure my df will love this card...

This is another fun card. They call it diorama. I enjoyed making this project and am planning to make some more!

This one is a gift card insert. Isn't that cool??

This is a project I made from the store's "make and take" table.

Another project from the "make and take" table.

C.I.A. #6

Our ds love chips so much, he knows how to help himself with his dad's pringles!

still here. . .

Just in case you're wondering if I'm still around... the answer is still -yes. I just have to be on top of my "list". I wish there's more hours in a day but I know I'm just wasting my time wishing - hahaha

Craft Night #5

Amy is our host for this month's craft night. We made fleece blankets this time. The blankets are very soft and so easy to make. All you need is a fleece material (of course), a pair of scissors, and a pair of hand to tie the two strips together (if you want to finish fast!)

Carolyn and I decided to work together on our blanket. I made the strips while she tie them...

we switched tasks..

Nancy and Sonya working together...

Here's our picture bragging about our newly knotted blankets.
Thank you, Amy, for being a really nice host and a good teacher.
I love my blanket so does my ds.

Here's my take on this week's photo hunt. I took this picture while my dh is driving through Uxbridge, Ma. tfr!

C.I.A. #5

This is a pic of my ds explaining to me why he wiped some of our drawing on the blackboard. From what I can gather, he's trying to make the sun and mountain look better!
Have a great weekend everyone!

C.I.A. #4

Here's a picture of my son driving his four-wheeler, inside the house, with his eyes covered! I guess, I'm just preparing him for that multi-tasking life ahead.

tfr!

C.I.A

This is a weekly edition of a photo blog. My homework is to find a candid photo of my son every week and brag about it. It may be wordless since "a picture is worth a thousand words."

You are welcome to brag about yours, too, just leave me a comment so I can check it out.

Thanks and have a great day!

tfr!

guess what...

I just like the look of this picture. I thought I'd share with you. tfr!

McKale's 2nd bday!

Today marks another celebration ~ to give thanks and rejoice ~ for another 365 days that we spend our lives with our ds, McKale! We are so glad he's happy, healthy, and growing (in love)...

This birthday cake was made by the local dairy farm. Our favorite ~ Wright's dairy farm.

Our ds blowing his candle with dad's help.

After we shared the ice cream, cake, and some of my dish, we then shared a microphone to do karaoke, and opened the gifts. Auntie Sue and Zak gave our ds this awesome guitar! Lola Connie ~ savings bond and a music book, Brit-Brat ~ some shirts that are looking forward to summer! A lovely card from Ate Khriss. We also thank Ate Khriss for the help in everything especially for taking those beautiful pix. In behalf of my ds, We thank you guys for your generosity. I originally told people that you're invited if you won't bring anything. I guess, they didn't hear it..... lol

McKale's bday

Sometimes it's nice not to worry about what's going to happen. To just enjoy the NOW. Well, I did not really have anything planned for today. I only know that it's my ds 2nd birthday, and that we're going to pick up Ate Khriss from Worcester Ma for her scheduled sleep over at our house. But before I forget, I have to hurry home from picking Khriss up since Steph and her kids will be at the house and then I've got a call from Gerry that they're also going to come. She's with her three kids. And I've yet to meet the last addition to their family! Her new 3month old baby, Christian! I'm going to meet him for the first time. Ohh the cuddly little babies are just a joy to behold! Gerry and her kids arrived around 6:30pm. We were finishing the spring rolls and the Philippine style spaghetti then, they help me finish up in the kitchen, then we shared our blessings, including the cake that Gerry bought for my ds.

Thank you guys for coming and for sharing in our happy moments! tfr

My lucky day

It's not that I don't feel lucky everyday but today is just a little special. My df gave me a little something for my digi - scrapping today and a classic album! Yoohoo! I am just so happy about that.... Now I can start my venture on the digital scrapbooking. You can check my other blog to later when I'm not so hesitant to show you - ;-)

My other good news is that my other df, stopped by my room today to drop off some leap frog goodies for my ds. What a nice surprise! It's just awesome to count our little blessings sometimes. I really appreciate their gestures.

Well, that's it for now, have a nice night!
