Easter 2009

Easter Sunday was a blast. As tradition, we went over to Buddy's brothers house. They made an awesome lunch. Turkey, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, croissants, etc. etc. We had a great time, as always. The boys played video games, and Kai and Alyssa played with her new Barbie house. Alyssa is such a girly girl. Towards the end of the afternoon, they had their Easter egg hunt. Aunt Wendy always has so many eggs to hide. As a matter of fact, I hardly buy candy for the kids baskets, because I know that the basket from Aunt Wendy will have enough to last them until Halloween at least.

The Easter Bunny did come to the Lopez house, and brought the usual pink basket for Kai, and the usual green basket for Nachito. Kai's had a lot of hair accesories, make-up and the Core Rhythms excercise videos. Don't ask, I have no idea why she wanted that, but she has been writing down the number from the infamercial for weeks. Nachito is always happy with video games. All in all, it was a great Easter and a great start to Spring. Next on the Calendar, Nachito's First Holly Communion and Alyssa's fourth birthday.





************************************************************************************
I have a little confession to make. I have a hard time letting other people do things. For instance, I feel the need to get the dyes ready for egg coloring. I can not for any reason let the "kids" do it. Kai is old enough already, but I am a control freak and I have to do it. When everything is ready, I want to color eggs too. Is that bad? I act like a kid, and if my egg is in a color, I don't want them to touch it or add another egg, until mine is ready. This year, I tried and finally my brain told me to stay busy with another project, and just let the kids do it. So, you will be happy to know, that Buddy lent me his Kitchen Aid mixer and I baked two pineapple upside down cakes. Yes, I baked!!! It's not quite cooking, but it happened in the kitchen which is a start. And not to toot my own horn or anything, but they actually turned out real good. And, while I baked, the kids were able to color eggs with little interference from me. I think that it was a good start, and maybe next year I will let Kai run the show. Dye and everything.

My kids had fun egg hunting this year too!! I think that is like the highlight!

Wow..I like how you lined your bowls up! Better than how I did it! LOL!

Oh..and thank you for your comment on my blog about the icky lice! I checked their hair again tonight, and still nothing, so I'm sooo relieved! But, I am thinking of getting my youngest daughters haircut tomorrow. It's really long!

vous êtes conviés

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start. 

Blog Remodel

I am also looking forward to my Blog Remodel. Danielle over at The Design Girl is re-doing my blog. I can't wait to see it. I looked at a lot of Blog designers, and her site was definetly my favorite. If you are interested in customizing your blog, I highly suggest her. I have been on her waiting list for a few weeks now, and I have watched as my name moves closer to the top. And just this weekend, I got to pick my new kit. And, I also changed the name of my Blog. I have been really trying to come up with something that is more "Me". And I am really happy with my choice. Hopefully it will be up and running soon. Keep checking back to see my new blog.
