Close Up Shots

THese are the first shots I took with my new DSLR.  A close up shots of my babies.

Thank you so much Hon for your wonderful birthday gift.

Picnic at Raccoon Creek

The photos below was the second part that I have forgotten to post when we went to Racoon Park last month.  After our little  nature trek at the trail, the three of them  swam in the  creek,.

I cooked  a dish for us to eat there.

We had so much fun that day!

VBS Journey

We were able to encourage our son to join the vacation Bible school this year.

First day:  They woke up early, ate breakfast and we walked them  in school.  Mr. Burrito said that he loved it!

 Second day:  Mr. Burrito  was still excited in going.  I had to carry him on my back going home though lol.

 Third day:  He woke up and said "I don't want to go to school" but I  bluffed him and said that if he doesn't go, he  won't be able to join the movie night that our neighbor had set up for them.  So he went.  When they came home, he told us that he cried because he was missing us.

 Fourth/last day:  He woke up resisting to go.  We had to walked  Ms. Burrito down there so we convinced him to go with us.  He never let go of Dad's hand though.  We took him home.

We're so proud of both  especially Ms. Burrito who is more than willing to go and attend the VBS with no buts and ifs.  We are also thankful that she did not get sick this year unlike last year.  Maybe she is immune with other kids already. 

Attending VBS is a great  and fun  time for kids to attend when they are off from school.  Does your kids attend  VBS too?

Letting Go - Nostalgia # 61

Remember this bracelet I have posted previously?  These two jewelries were  the first  gifts that my husband gave me when he first came over to see me in the Philippines.  I only wore the bracelet once, that was during the   graduation for my MBA.  I like gold  jewelries but I  am not fond of the big ones such as this bracelet.  It's too gaudy or flashy  which doesn't really fit my personality.

 Letting go of things is hard but if you will weigh the  benefits that it will do, then it's a different story.   As much as I want to preserve the sentimental value of it, I finally let go of it while the value of gold right now is  a little higher.  My husband paid $575  when he bought this 22K bracelet in Guam but we sold it for $740.  Not bad eh?  We gained a profit by selling it.  So it was a good riddance actually.

Fun Birthday Celebration

Hello everyone, how was your weekend? Ours was pretty busy but so much fun. We celebrated Ms. Burrito's 6th birthday last Saturday, we decided to have it on the weekend so friends and family who goes to work on weekdays could come.

I am glad that our preparation went well.  Ms. Burrito said that  it's the best birthday ever!

We got to bond with  our cutie  Bumble Bee.

Gorgeous Gracie also came over with the family.

Opening gifts was one of the most awaited part of the celebrant.  Thanks to those who sent  her  generous gifts.  We will post it on her blog soon.

Bumble is very vocal now and she is very mobile.  She even bond with my FIL, thanks Dad for always  being with us.

Ms. Burrito received a face painting kit from the Fancher's so the party ended with  face painting fun.  Thanks to the talented neighbor of ours, Sarah.

With the  Howell's, thanks guys for coming over!

Gracie love her face painted too.

Too bad, Bumble Bee's mom has to go to work so they had to leave early.

The pretty kitty girl.  Thanks once again  everyone for the greetings, for the gifts, and for those who came and celebrated with us.
