Soup and tea party!

Soup!  Arianna likes some kind of soups...especially the "Dora's soup", the "Little bear's soup", the "Blue's soup", the "alphabet's soup"...  and she is getting really good at feeding herself!  (The bowl used to be Mike's when he was little!)

Playtime!  Our play time involves lots of tea parties... and more tea parties...and the farm... with lots of little pet shops animals and...

 We have a new friend in our play time.  His name is Charly! (not Charlie or Charley)  He comes to our tea parties too!

Jamie's Graduation Party

Jamie's Graduation Party !! We are very proud of your accomplishments and we are happy that we were able to go and have an awesome time!  Here are some of the pictures for you to see!

We were making tacos! The food was just delicious...

I bought Mike this shirt for his birthday and he loved it.  I think he looks great in it :)

The table was set and the party was going...

I love these pictures :)

 

Time for cake!

Relaxation and stories ended the day.  It was just perfect!

Congratulations Jamie!

Cancelled GRill Party Not!

I was so tired that the Garden Party that I wanted to do was cancelled.  So, I called everyone but I could not get hold of my mom until two days before and when  I did she said "What? I am still coming!"  But, I cancelled I said.  She said ,  "I already did a lot of stuff for the party".  Party was back on. (We ended up having pork chops, chicharron, steak, rice, beans, guacamole...) On Saturday, the family came and had a very good grilling party.  My mom even bought me the only tomatoes and peppers that made it into the ground.  This is the first year that I don't go crazy buying plants - mostly flowers with some vegetables.  Maybe I can still buy some flowers for my empty pots...

These are the flowers that my mom bought.

My clematis that I planted 3 summers ago!  This year is doing wonderful :)

Arianna loving her swing and slide!

Thank you mom.  You are awesome :)

52 projects #20 - Wedding invitations

For this week I'd been working in my brother's invitations!  I thought that I will be done in a flash, but it is taking longer than expected... still love it.  I am trying to help them.  The invitations are actually from Martha Stewart's collection and I tried to use the "templates" that she supposedly has in the website (that came in the package), but I can't find it.  Has someone use some of her cards?  Do you know the templates that she is talking about?  I am using Word and it is taking longer.  I  have some projects that I want to do, but duty calls right now ;)

WPP #23 Tea Party!

This post brings the child on me totally :) This is the first tea set that Arianna loves.  She wants to "Tea party" all the time.  I loved (and still do) tea sets.  I used to get one tea set every year for the first 12- 14 years of my life.  Now, I wish I could had kept some of them.  But, hopefully I can keep this one for her.  After all, it is the first one!

What did you love when you were little?

52 projects #19 - A haircut!

My husband hates to get haircuts... apparently this is the case since he was a little boy.  But, his hair was soooooo long that I had no choice but to try to cut his hair.  I am not a hair stylist.  The scissors and I only see each other when cutting fabric or paper! But, here it goes.

Well, it is long, right?  This is when I was getting ready to cut his hair... Arianna got a little scare and we put a cartoon that she likes so she could ignore the noise.

wow, so much hair gone... and I was just working the back part.

First shot, work in progress... second looking at lot better.

The forehead and side burns were not easy.  For the forehead since he has a widow's peak cut too much and he will have like a hole in the hair.. .for the sideburns... trying to match them is the hard part.  I got so nervous around here, but he was calm like a clam.

Done!  He started making poses too.  You are so funny, sweety.  Now, time to clean.  It looked like I grew a little monster with all the hair!

WPP#22 - My craft swap box!

I can't even remember now when I got my craft swap box in the mail, but I just took the picture yesterday with Tiffiney's help.  She rearranged all the goodies while I whipped some guacamole for our grilling day.  We had our families coming to have some arrachera, pork chops, chicharron, chicken, salsas, sour cream, cheese, white rice and the guacamole. I had planned to do a garden party awhile back, but I canceled because I was just not feeling up to it.  But, I called my mom on Thursday to tell her that I was canceling and she said no!  I am still going I made a few things already!! So, I said ok.  So, it was back on - just like that :)  So, big kuddos to my mom because the day turned out beautifully.  Thank you :)  Now, on Monday we are planting a few pots!
