Happy Mother's Day

My Mom and me.

CHA & Disneyland Photos

Hi everyone, I had some time last night to go over some of the photos I took at CHA and Disneyland and wanted to share some of them with you.  The weather in Anaheim was gorgeous and I had a fantastic time at CHA, the HC team is amazing and so much fun to be around.

 Here is the Heartfelt Creations booth.

This is Linda and Emma Lou.

 From left to right, Linda, Emma Lou, Me, and Sarah.

 Here is the Doodlebug booth, love the bright colors.

I think this was at the DCWV booth.

Isn't this gorgeous, all made with paper.

Had to take a photo of Tim hard at work.

Another beautiful display.

After CHA David and Maria joined me for some fun at the happiest place on earth.

Here is Maria doing the robot dance with Phineas and Ferb.

Well, that's it for today, thanks for stopping by.

Happy Fathers Day

Hope all the Dads out there are having a wonderful day.  This photo is from 2006, Maria was almost 3 years old, love this picture of her and my hubby, the best Dad in the world.  

Happiest Place on Earth!!!

This past weekend we took a drive to our favorite vacation destination, non other than the happiest place on earth, we didn't tell Maria we were going to Disneyland until we drove past the sign, she was jumping up and down in the car,  had a lot of fun as always, weather was perfect, I want to go back already.

All Those Pumpkins!

DH and I took Maria to the pumpkin patch yesterday afternoon and had a great time, the weather was perfect and the place was not crowded at all, previous years we have always gone on the weekend and the crowds are a bit too much.  I had to beg several times but she did let me take some photos of her, this is my favorite!!!

First Day of School

A couple of shots I took of Maria on her first day of school, 2nd grade already.

Where has the time gone!!!!

My Little Ballerina

Some photos I took of Maria last weekend during her dance recital, her class performed "Adventures with Peter Pan", all the little girls were just adorable.     Maria loved being a fairy and she performed beautifully. We are so proud of you.

Disney World Vacation

We are back home from spending a wonderful 8 days in the happiest place on earth, the trip was a surprise for Maria, who did not now where we were going until she saw the Disney World gate, she looked at us with this huge smile on her face and asked if we were kidding. Had an amazing time, visited 4 parks, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, all lots of fun, but we kept going back to the Magic Kingdom our favorite. Weather was very hot and humid, did lots and lots of walking, some of that walking in the rain, just plain fun!!!

Once in a while!

Maria will let me take some photos of her, lately I have to beg her to let me take just a couple of shots. I took this one Friday afternoon, she was playing with her chalk and she actually was happy to let me take pictures.

My New Nephew

Here are a couple of photos of my new nephew Sebastian. I forgot how little they are.

My Little Soccer Player

This is Maria's first soccer season, she absolutely loves it. They have only played 2 games so far, and her team the Wildcats won both of them.

Carmel By The Sea

I was going thru some photos I took in Carmel last October and this one jumped at me. It was a very overcast and gray day and the sun was trying very hard to show its face.

Photos from Las Vegas

I just had a chance to go through my photos from Las Vegas, these are some of my favorites.
This one is from the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens.

We always make a point to see a couple of shows, our favorite "Phantom of the Opera" at the Venetian, this show just keeps getting better and better every time I see it, the other show we saw was "O" at the Bellagio, all I have to say is "AMAZING", worth every penny.

Here is a view of the Eiffel tower at the Paris hotel, and then a view from the Eiffel tower, the view was just amazing up there.

50mm

I got a chance to play a bit with one of my Christmas presents, a 5omm lens, which I absolutely LOVE. You are probably wondering why a picture of Angel and not Maria, well, lately it's been kind of hard to take photos of my little princess, she just will not cooperate with me, she won't sit still for one second. :o/

I'm Back!!!!

We got back from visiting my Mom in Mexico a week ago, we were there for two whole weeks and had a lot of fun, my Mom was so happy to see Maria and be able to spend time with her. I had a chance to go through my photos this morning and really liked this ones.

I'm always taking tons of photos of my Mom's garden, it amazes me how many plants she has, this one is from one of her rose bushes.

This one I took at this huge market in Guadalajara.

And as always can't help my self taking photos of all the different churches!


And finally my little Maria with a "mariachi" statue sitting outside an art gallery.

Road Trip!

Last weekend I took a little road trip with my very best friends Velma, Rosemary, and Stephanie to the Scrapbook Expo in Sacramento, had a blast as always, got to do a little shopping and look at tons of goodies :o) . From the expo we went to visit Green Tangerines in Rocklyn, which was a huge disappointment, we had been there a couple of years ago and the store was packed with all the latest product, but this time it was empty, all they had was old product, I don't think I saw one single new product from CHA Winter or Summer.
