Superman

I can fly! I can fly!

I'm Superman!

Happy Father's Day!

Landon @ 11months

He has this....I'm not so sure look on his face cause this is the very first time he has touched grass. He attempted to touch the grass a few times with his hands then he proceeded to cross his legs and lift his feet. We'll have to try again.

Where has the time gone? Landon is genuinely a happy baby boy. Full of energy, smiles, giggles and curiosity. The funniest thing happened again the other day and I hope to capture it on video. When daddy lets out a fart....Landon will respond with a raspberry. Mimicking the sound.

He sings and claps when he's happy or when he hears music. Sometimes he'll even dance...swaying from side to side. So sweet.

I love our early morning routine. We turn on the radio, get into the highchair...we eat, we converse, we play, sing and dance. Landon even understands when I tell him were going to brush his teeth...he'll open his mouth for me. So cute. A great way to start each day! The hardest part is to leave him for the day but at least I know he's in good hands with Po-Po, Gung-Gung, and A-Yee(Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie).

Landon has brought more joy and happiness in my life than I could have ever imagined. I love you baby boy. I love you. Happy 11th months.

Cheeeeese!

My sweet baby boy....showing his pearly whites.

So Many Stars/Birthday/Crazy Candle Card

Punched Posies

Bold and bright. Stampin' Up's Punched Posies is a hostess set from the Summer Mini Catalog. This set is great because it has coordinating punches to make it so much easy and fun.

I'm really tired!

Daddy just gave me a bath....I'm so relaxed and tired. I think I'm ready for night night.

Lovely As a Tree

Today was our last meet of the our Demonstrator Hostess Club for this round. Nelly shared this Lovely As a Tree easel card with us. A great card for any dad.

Stampin' Up! Island Floral

I recently learned how to make this pretty Island Floral. For this project you'll need one sheet of cardstock for the flower, a 2.5" x 3" piece of green cardstock for the leaves, 32" inches of ribbon or yarn, Island Floral Bigz die, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Pads, and paper snips.


Start with die-cutting 5 flowers and 2 leaves from Stampin' Up!'s Island Floral Bigz die.


Score flower at each point where the petal meets the center. Folds can go in random directions.

Cut an 8 inch piece of ribbon, tie a knot and string it through the hole of one of the flowers. (Tip: you may want to double the knot to insure that the ribbon doesn't pull through)

Repeat this step 3 more times.


Take the ends of the four ribbons and pull them through the hole of the last flower. (Tip: you may want to stack the ends of the ribbon and snip it an angle to make it easier to pull through the hole.) Pull the ribbons til it is taught up against the last flower.


Secure the ribbon in the back of the flower by tying a knot. (tip: try to keep the strings pulled as taught as possible). Glue leaves.

Adjust each flower until you have achieved the look by rotating the flowers and/or changing the direction of the folds.


Colors: Melon Mambo and Old Olive. Have fun!

Disneyland on Memorial Day

This may not be Landon's first visit to Disneyland but he had many firsts today. His first ride at Disneyland was It's A Small World. At first he sat really still in Daddy's lap...then he started to look around and towards the end he was clapping his little hands. So cute.



Another first for Landon was the King Arthur Carousel...he loved the ride. I was happy that he didn't plant is lips on the pole.

First Disneyland stroller rental.

Landon's first meet and greet with Woody.

I think Landon is going to sleep really well tonight. We'll see....

On the ride back home. The only way to get him to wear his Mouse Ears today.

San Francisco Scrapbook Spread Completed

So happy to have completed my scrapbook spread. It has been months since I've completed a spread with pictures and journaling.

Landon's New Ride

I think he likes his new ride. He's learned to open the compartment and find hidden toys.

Bath Time

One of Landon's favorite times of the day with Daddy.


Oh my, he's learned to stand in the bath and yes, he wants to taste the glass. Not surprised since he likes to put everything in his mouth.

Landon @ 10 months

Happy 10 months Landon! Capturing these pictures with Landon and his bear has proven to be challenging since he is a little more mobile these days.
He has started to eat beef in his rice and veggies, loves yogurt, and we've been expanding his palette of fruit. He has gotten his crawl down and pulling himself up to stand any chance he gets. He loves to listen to music and clap his hands. He continues to put anything and everything in his mouth and is a very curious little guy. He is aware of his surroundings and loves to play peek-a-boo. All and all...he's a happy baby.

Watercolor Trio

Stamp set: Watercolor Trio. The background was created by using Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Color: Old Olive, Real Red, Basic Black.

San Francisco

Just wanted to share a spread I recently put together...I started yesterday after lunch. =) I'm almost done...a little journaling, maybe a couple of more embellishments, not sure. Stay tuned.

Elements of Style

Elements of Style is a new stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog. Color: Night of Navy. I got this idea from Chiaki Haverstick. Thanks.

Landon @ 41 weeks

Oh my! Just this last weekend, Landon started to pull himself up. It's time to lower the mattress, once again. He also has figured out how to sit himself up...such great milestones.

He got his 9 month physical this week with Dr. Stephanie and all is looking great. In the last four months, Landon has grown 2.75 inches and is 29.5 inches tall(85-90%), was 16lbs 2 oz and now weighs 20lbs (30-35%) and the biggest news of all is that his head circumference has also grown from 17.25 inches to 18.5 inches(85-90%). Oh wow!

He's a trooper. He was kicking, screaming and crying because we had to pin him down to have his blood drawn but he did well considering he was being poked with a big fat needle.
