5 boys for breakfast

what a treat to meet up with a friend from NorCal that i haven't seen in 20 years! we went to the same high school and ran track together back in the days! we met up this morning to have breakfast together before their drive home. it was my 2 boys+his 3 boys. that ='d FUN! the boys got along just great, playing with all their ultraman figures and monsters. (just look at the table covered with all their figures!) thanks for a great breakfast jonathan!! your family is just lovely!we cooled off a little today in the mini pool.

busy making tooth fairy pillows. this one is my 4th one AND i made some moolah! the mom asked for it to be in these colors. this may be my side job! i am finishing up 1 right now for a special girl.

backside to put the tooth in the smaller pocket and a dollar bill or mini toy in the bigger heart pocket.these sunflowers were ginormous! these were at the farmer's market we went to saturday. was going to buy them until i saw a billion ants on the backside. i DO NOT need those in my house!love the summer cropsstopping to smell the flowers except he doesn't know these don't smell!yum!

bryan's mouth was never empty at the farmer's market. fresh fruit samples galore! a tip: you can actually have a light breakfast at a good farmer's market. LOL!

a kite-flying bee

just some fun here....a bee flying a kite! i made my own clouds and own kite. i don't think i got the proportion of the kite right but, eh......one day, i caught bryan lining up all his ultraman so i decided to have him gather all that he could find to take a picture. believe it or not, these are not all of them that they own. a lot of them has been confiscated from me [due to bad behavior, not sharing with each other]. i am thinking of taking a picture of ALL of them one day and enlarging it to frame it for their room.

then i see brayn shoving as many ultraman he could onto the sweeper truck! an unlucky ultraman is about the get run over!

torturing

i guess these ultraman were naughty. i walked by and had to do a double take........bryan had hung these 2 ultraman upside down on my night stand table.

i came across this: http://www.85qm.de/up/BigRedButton.swf it was one of those days!

card over load post & thank u's

for my non-crafty friends, this post is not for you............. i've had problems this past week uploading pictures here so i just gave up due to laziness & choosing sleep (for once). kiara.... i fially broke out your set from the blog candy i won! love this fun robot set! perfect for my boys! and thank you for my new set of stamps you sent for my birthday along with a beautiful card!

i had to handcut the circles..........lame, i know. i need some circle diecutters.

love springtime colors!

some handmade paper stash i received from my good friend leesa! thanks! here is my handmade huge flower. she sent me a ginormous box of craft goodies all the way from GA!! so much i am speechless!

wanting summer to come.....

these are my fave pics of the boys right now!

here are some things brandon's been recently saying:

on my birthday, brandon asked me, "so what number are you mom?' (how old are you?)

"mommy, i REALLY want a baby sister."

"i am moving to japan! ah-mah (my sister) is taking me there. i don't want a brother anymore....he doesn't share his toys......he takes my toys so I AM MOVING TO JAPAN!!" [why japan you ask? so he can be closer to ultraman. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Series if you want to see who this ultraman super hero is brandon & brandon always pose with & fight over.]

to tif...... my local crafter friend, this card is for you. really, it's going in the mail (after i write in it) for you. i will get my sprinkles cupcake this weekend! thank you for the sweet birthday gift!

random things

doesn't he just look like a bad boy...........attitude & all at 2 yrs old!

brandon & his ultraman pose

cute little bryan sharing some birthday cake with an ultraman villain.

bringing down blues clues, magenta and periwinkle ALL the way from upstairs to downstairs. he just could not leave them all alone by themselves!

brandon spotted this beautiful rainbow after a rain shower. photo was taken right outside our backyard.

layout #2 and trip to "japan"

so this is my 2nd page for bryan's scrapbook. remember, he'll be 2 years old january 29th so i am just a tad behind! i love his little expressions!

eddie decided that brandon could get a treat so we went to "japan" as brandon calls it. it's actually downtown LA but don't tell brandon that! we go to the same store we always go to & pick up 2 ultraman. what is up with him & ultraman? he must have about 2 dozen of these guys. if any bloggers out there EVER do go to japan, please let me know! i hear it's still pretty popular in japan. bryan in the above picture is trying to work the automated digital sticker pic machine.

now do these two look like they fight???? YES>

something cute i saw around the house

something brandon left on the dinner table the other day. thought it was funny. (those are his prized ultraman)
