Where the time goes...

My little man Daniel turns 5 last Nov. 8... We did gave him a picnic birthday party at Sunday because his birthday landed on Monday... everything turn out great... weather cooperate, wishes been granted and most important family and friends are there... 1st he got his party, 2nd he wants robot, car, plane, rocket, etc. as his cake. He can’t decide what he really want for his cake so we made it as he picture it in his mind… and last but not the least his pillow pet... YES pillow pet… that’s what we end up getting him because his been asking for it for several months... he even want to get one for his little sister right away… “Mommy, Mikah wants pillow pet too”… what a sweet big brother… my baby is not a baby any more... HE is big boy now... his growing so fast and I wish I can stop or slow it down a bit... his now saying "mommy do I look cool? I’m like ha? Cool? He says do I look cool wearing these at school? Of course YES... that’s the answer he wants to hear”… WOW his totally my little man... We’re happy that he did turn out to be a good son, brother, cousin, grandson and a friend… that’s what we want him to be... the best he can be… We’re so proud of Dandan the man…

Pumpkin Patch and Trick or Treating Time…

We have been hearing since October began…”I want to go to the pumpkin patch” “I want to carve a pumpkin” “When is Halloween?”.  That’s what my little man kept asking up until Halloween was actually here. Then the counting down the days began, and making sure he had a great  costume to wear. He couldn’t  decide what he wanted to be this Halloween…but in the end he transformed himself into a Transformer Bumble Bee!

I was so thrilled about his decision because his little sister was to wear a Bumble Bee costume brought to her from my sis/her godmother all the way from the Philippines. This was  Mikah’s 1^st trick or treating experience with Kuya Daniel, and they were both so excited to begin pumpkin carving. Luckily, I found a nearby pumpkin patch, and the weather was pretty good. The kids had a blast…and so did the adults. This outing also marked our 1^st family pumpkin patch outing, and we might just begin a family tradition of visiting yearly.  

Oh by the way, we didn’t even end up buying a pumpkin to carve… we just brought home the small one that Mikah is holding in the picture… they were far more interested in the rides.

so excited when we got there

Their pumpkins... but only Mikah's pumpkin made it home... hehehe

Better late than never...

So thrilled and excited... this is my second post and loving this project... second attempt at the Embrace the Camera... I really want to be able to capture more of my time with the kids… luckily I woke up at a decent hour today.

I began prepping Daniel for school, then off to take care of myself.  While in the middle of all these things my little one woke up… she’s quite the morning person.  Now it becomes tricky trying to entertain the little one, get Daniel ready, and make sure I’m also put together. The kids had a chance to play while watching the Qubo channel… this was perfect and I decided to that the extra time to embrace the camera with my kids. It’s fun, yet so difficult… you can tell by the images. They did provide a few cute, sad, and funny faces…so not bad, right?

This was one fun busy morning…let’s hope it’s always like this.

Yes we got a good one

My little man Daniel

My early bird Mikah... (Thanks Daniel... what a great shot!)

Can you tell they are My Double Trouble

Embrace the Camera 10/21

This is my very first post and first time participating in the Embrace the Camera project...so please bare with me. I'm a mother of two great kids...Daniel who will soon be 5 years old and Mikaela who will be 16 months (needless to say I'm a busy mom). Yet, I've been blessed these past few days with having my 2 sisters fly to the states to be with me from the Philippines, and we've been quite busy. We have enrolled in a cake decorating course were we have learned how to decorate cakes...it's a family passion! Here are a few images of us Embracing the Camera while working hard at what should soon be a family business...I HOPE!
