Nachito's 1st Birthday
Saturday, November 5, 2000
Diamondbacks
When coming up with a theme for Nachito's party, it was really a no brain er. Buddy loved and still loves the Diamondbacks. It was fun to incorporate the Diamondbacks into a baseball theme. I bought teal and purple party supplies. For centerpieces, I used mini Mylar balloon baseballs. I went to Circle K, and asked to buy the lids of the Slurpee's. I cut out a round cardboard base out of white cardboard. I filled the lid with Hershey kissed and put the balloon on top and sealed with the base. Simple and easy. His cake had an edible image of Luis Gonzales aka Gonzo. He was mine and Kai's favorite player. Below is the invitation and pictures.
Invitation was made to look like an actual D-Backs ticket. I used three different players for the invites. Randy Johnson, "The Big Unit", Gonzo, and Steve Finley. Who would have known that one year later they would be World Series Champions. The Section 11 Row 8 Seat 99 is his actual birthday.

We were all decked out in D-Backs merchandise and Kai was a D-Backs cheerleader.



Next weeks theme: Winnie the Pooh

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.

Let's Rock n' Roll at Kassandra Paulyna's 3rd Birthday!! Saturday, September 11 th , 1999 For Kassie's 3rd Birthday, we decided to keep it small. We hosted it at our home. I was pregnant with Nachito , and I was in no mood to make a big party. The theme was fun to work with. For invitations, I went to a local record shop and bought old 45's. I made new labels with party info on them. They were exactly like the one in the photos, except on real records. I made record sleeves for them and handed them out. They were very cute. We made record shaped candy bags out of black and red felt. We had a hula hoop contest, and a bubble gum blowing contest too. My mom made Kassie her poodle skirt, and I added the K to her shirt. I was able to find her black and white oxfords at Payless . My sister made milk shake center pieces out of old fashioned coca cola glasses, tinted Styrofoam , carnations and a straw. Buddy cut out the juke box shape out of styrafoam, and I painted it. I...
