Sunday Visits

Here are some pictures from the Sunday visits to my parents place we have with B in tow ...
This is B playing ba-ba-ba with my Dad and Mom. Dad is amused and my Mom ... need I say more? =)This is Kianna with her nephew, B. B looks like he's worried he's about to fall off at any minute. Hahaha!This is Lola Concing with a 1 month old B ... looking pretty upset too ... he's been transferred from one pair of arm to another one too many times .... LoL!This is Karl with B inside the van ... the shocked look on B's face is because he almost fell from his Uncle's lap ... the Uncle thought that Bhad a very good sense of balance ...This is Uncle Kirk with B during Kianna's birthday party ... cool huh? They look like models no?

So there it is ... my family (not including my Ate because she has to see B in person ... God knows when?) =p

Left Behind Series

Finally, I'm in Book 12 of the Left Behind series. Took me almost 3 months to finish the entire series but it was well worth it. I'm surely gonna miss Rayford and his entire Tribulation force. To those interested in reading about Revelations in a fictional setting ... in knowing about what the world will become in the End of Days ... read Left Behind. I'm not a religious person but I loved this series.

*for some reason, I am unable to upload the pic ... hhmmm ... to those who've read the series as well, do let me know what you think of it.

** here's the picture ...

Kianna's 6th birthday

We didn't have a party or anything like that .. .we just bought food from the seafood market (total cost was around P10k) but it was so yummy ... got huge shrimps, squid, california crab, suwahe. Yum yum.

Also bought shobe a cake (eeekkk!!! P1k for a cake? A simple cake?) but it was worth it coz she was happy to have had a cake and some candles to blow out.



Happy birthday Kianna! Hope you won't be as hard headed as me. LoL! I wish you all the wisdom that you would need to survive the growing up years ... a kindness that is hard to maintain when everyone seems out to get you and the knowledge that we are all here to support you in everything that you do.









Here are some pics ...





This one is fromt he seafood market ... cool thing about this place was that it didn't stink ... see the fishes and some squid ... fresh and tasty ... I should know, I ate some of them ... hihihi ...










This one is a picture of the kiddie mobiles I made from scratch. Instructions on how to make one for your friends or babies can be found here.

It was time consuming but I'm hoping that Shobe's friends loved it. Or else .... LoL!

I made dolphins, cats, mushrooms, pigs, dogs, and turtles. They're in weird colors coz I suck at color combinations.

Doesn't it show?

Day Out with the Twins

This is uber late in being posted so I'm gonna make it as detailed as possible ...

Brent and I were supposed to go to my parent's house but Daddy said to not go anymore since Ron wouldn't be going with us because he has to go to work for a meeting. So we decided that we would just go buy the twins clothes for their prom.

Tiring but felt good coz we bonded ...






And here are the twins showing off their chosen outfits ...

This is Karl (on the left) in his formal suit ... conservative but hot! It's from Onesimus but we got it quite cheap since it was on sale for 25% off ... cool huh?













The other is Kirk in his brown outfit. Very suave and fashionista. Got his suit from GQ. It was on sale at 50% off. Now that is sweet. He was even able to buy another turtleneck of another color coz his outfit cost less than 4k.

Lola Abeth and her gifts

If there's one person who is so very generous with her gifts to my son, it's Tita Abeth. I'm really touched because they're very thoughtful and can be used for a loonnggg time ...

So thank you and here's some pics to make you smile ...

This is Tita Abeth with Brent during Shobe's bday ...

Below are pictures of Brent in his stroller and in his high chair that Tita Abeth gave him. Cutie!

B at 8 months

Here is B at 8 months. He got sick and had a mild form of measles but still as cuddly and cute as ever.

He loves trying out new food now and is always game for everything, even mildly spicy food.

Super takaw is what he is. In this picture, he's wearing the doctor glasses of his Ah-i Kianna (my baby sis.)

Adorable huh?

Paper's Galore

I have been sick the past few days, hence, no posts. But here are some scrappy papers that I recently got a hold of to brighten my day ...


I like papers. Hehe. Weird no?

Taking care of my Precious

We've both been sick since Wednesday last week ... B had his check up at the doctor already and is now taking antibiotics for his cough and Dimetapp for his cold. So happy he no longer has a fever. Here's a moment captured by his Daddy ... he's been sleeping a lot lately to recuperate.

Brent Standing Up with Support

Finally, my baby can now stand up and all the support he needs is just by holding on to our hands ... aside from that ... it's all him ... and he's attempting to take steps as well ... so cutie!!!! =)

Here's a picture ...

Such a proud Mommy ...

Doorknob Accessories

I found something on the net and it's really cute ... another thing I can add to my to-do list ... wonder when I will be able to finish even one? So hard to be a working mom ... for those who do have the time ... enjoy ...

Door Knob Accessories
Supplies:

• Wooden door hanger or two pieces of chipboard and the template available here.
• Mod Podge or other decoupage medium
• Patterned paper
• Scrapbooking embellishments
• Acrylic paint
• Sand paper
• Corner rounder
• Diamond Glaze or other strong adhesive

Pre-made Wooden Door Hanger:

• You can purchase a pre-made wooden door hanger at most large craft stores.
• Remove all stickers from the door hanger and lightly sand the surfaces.

Chipboard Door Hanger:

• Download and print the template from the link above.
• Cut the template out, including the center circle.
• Trace the shape onto two pieces of chipboard and cut out.
• Glue the two pieces of chipboard together, and allow to dry thoroughly.

Steps

1. Paint a base coat color on the hanger, paying close attention to all edges. Allow to dry.


2. Measure the width and length of your door hanger, and subtract a 1/4 of an inch from each measurement. Using those measurements, cut two of the template from patterned paper, to cover the front and back. Be sure to cut out the hole on each piece, as well.


3. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge and adhere the paper to the hanger. Allow to dry completely.
4. As each layer dries, add an additional layer of paper, as desired, using a thin coat of Mod Podge, and allow to dry.


5. Once all paper layers are dry, embellish with stickers and rub-ons as desired.


6. Seal the entire project with two thin coats of Mod Podge. Allow the first coat to dry before adding the second. Allow to dry before continuing.


7. Add ribbons, fibers and three-dimensional embellishments with Diamond Glaze.


8. Allow entire project to dry overnight before hanging on your doorknob.

Sheesh. And I thought I was organized. LoL!

B at 7 months

This is Brent at 7 months. Still a happy baby though he squels now which is cute at first but tends to numb your ears coz his voice is so LOUD.

Really.

He's still a cuddly mini bear and is the sweetest angel. Loves to kiss people and is starting to do the whole close-open thing with his palm.

God ... I love this baby.

To see more of my baby at 7 months ...
