Mia's pearls

Mia got her ears pierced yesterday! She cried of course, well it was more like a scream, but then it was over and she was fine. Here are a couple of pictures, she wasn't happy this morning, but this is pretty much what she looked like when we she had her ears pierced.

Happy Earth Day!

I just wanted to post a quick Happy Earth Day to you all! I love Earth day and I wish I could do lots of recycling, re-inventing, and remaking projects, but I'm off to enjoy the beautiful day with the family!

BTW, we pierced Mia's ears today and they are prittty! (i misspelled that on purpose- it's just better that way)

More later =)

mermaid and pirates

the mermaid card I made with Lizzie's stamp:

oh-so-cute iron on's: (Mia's says "arrgh, kiss me booty")

("wipe me booty")

the houston zoo

We spent the day at the Houston Zoo yesterday. (Well, first we stopped at Fung's to have a bit of dim sum.) The weather was nice, it was a bit over cast and we thought it might rain, but it was nice and cool and I didn't miss the hot sun. Jackson loved looking at all of the animals and running around the children's zoo. And he tried to steal a ladie's bag of cotton candy. He ran up behind her and snatched it out of her hand! The boy loves candy! Lots of pictures:

cards, cards, and more cards

What do you do with all of the beautiful cards you get for birthdays, new babies, holidays, and all that good stuff? I throw them all in a box along with the rest of the stuff I can't part with. Like hospital bracelets from the babies, ticket stubs, umbilical cords (yes I kept them... gross, I know!), and other trinkets. Anyways...

I saw this somewhere (I can't remember where) and I thought this was such a good idea!

I punched holes in the corner of each card, and put them on a binder ring. (I don't know if that's what it's called, but you know what I mean.) I put all of Jackson's on one and Mia's on another. I think they'll enjoy looking through them when they're older. Now all of my cards are organized in my memory box.

sprintime pictures

Wendy and I had a little photo shoot with the babies the other day. The results are beautiful! And I'm excited to invest in an awesome camera so that I can take awesome pictures too. I've decided to go ahead and get myself the Nikon D40. Yay for me!
