in this corner...

"...we have selene's toys!!!!!"
a corner of our home where we stash the baby goods.
which is also today's photo-a-day share, day 18....

it's constant thing...
clean up & put away...
then selene always has fun taking it all out so that you can start all over again!
lol.
oh the daily life and routines of a lil lubby dubby aka selene-y.

it was a bit chili's last nite....

heehee..
being a bit corny like my hubby...
lol.

last night we were planning to go to red lobster to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary.
but didn't go as planned.
so we went to chili's for dinna...

i surely did not eat healthy either...
which made me feel real gluttonous (sp?)...
if i had known that the quesadilla explosion salad had fried torilla chips, i would have had them exclude it out.
ya live and learn i guess.
it was tasty though, love the dressing and the corn relish.
next time also will have the dressing on the side.

anyway, today for lunch we're heading to red lobster.
then hit the mall to pick up our potttery.
and shop a lil too.

it is actually "chilly" out right now, gonna have to bundle up.

have a good one!

a high note on a green morning

today's photo-a-day share is "green."
happy st. patty'z day!

on the green note tip...
singing at about 7:30 a.m. at very high notes...
it's selene & daddy!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.......

i think they're ready to be on x factor now.
lol.

loving these past 3 years!

yesterday was our 3rd yr anniversary..
we'll be celebrating tonight @ dinnertime..

but we did get to exchange gifts last night...

he got me this lovely card and even more lovlier STARBUCKS gift card!!!!
yey-yah!
i used it this a.m. and got myself a grande iced skinny caramel macchiato.
i'll have to go the "tall" route from here to get more mileage off the card.

here's what i made him...

the card...

supplied used:  cocoa daisy "pier 39" kit: crate paper & pink paislee patterned papers, american crafts cardstock; add'l supplies from my stash:  stamps by hero arts & michael's, ink:  stampcraft, pen & marker: sharpie, uniball signo, twine, staples, punch:  fiskars.

the mini-album...
for this one i used the cocoa daisy "by the numbers" kit:  papers:  my mind's eye, american crafts letter stickers and elle's studio layered numbers.

i love these elle's studio layered numbers, used them to represent our wedding anniversary date...

this was real simple mini-album..
cut up my papers 4x6, decked out the cover w/ the layered numbers and letter stickers...
inserted each photo between each a paper, added my journaling on papers to the opposite side of each photo...
binded everything together with a ring...
and there you go!

my hubby loved it.
*smile*

have a great weekend!

it was sunny awhile ago...

hmmm...
well it was about a half hour ago, now it's a bit overcast.
oh well...
i did manage to do my photo-a-day, "sunglasses"...

hung my, my hubz & maiya's shades on a branch of a tree in our front yard...
wanted to do something different.
being in sunny cali, ya always have to have shades.
it's a necessity.

and on another note...
yesterday, maiya passed her taekwondo test for her orange belt....
we were able to watch her in action...

Selene loving her reflection in the aerobics room...

she has a great kick, breaking that board, yey-yah!

...and promotion to orange!

way to go baby boo!

happy happy 3 years in a row...

today...
is our 3rd year wedding anniversary....

took this..this a.m. while my hubby dropped off maiya at school.
he always has to take it off while going for a run, because he's afraid it'll slip off plus when it's cold out, his fingers tend to get freezy.
he's sensitive like dat!
lol...

and a sneaky peeky on what he's getting...

will share the rest & the card i made for him soon...

anyway,
to my best friend, my soulmate for life...
i love you so much...
and thank you so much for being you...
and letting me be me.

xoxo,
j

i like tha carz, tha carz that go boom!

yes...
my car has bumpin' bass in it...
thanks to my hubz who installed a sub sometime ago...
BOOM!

...on that note...
here's my day 15 photo...
in case ya still didn't get what i'm sayin'...
...it's about da "cars" babyyyyy!!!

and i gotta share this video for the sake of the theme...



oh old skewl, yey-yah!

the sky is wispy

...hey i just didn't know what title this post, okay?

anywhoo...
here's my day 14, photo-a-day share...
...clouds...

i think cali has one of the best sunsets...
and when the sun sets, it gives off such a kewl ray on the clouds...
took this after a play time at the park with the family, swinging & tennis.
i played alot w/ my camera during play time.
i love using the AV mode....
f-stop ranged from 4.0 - 10.0, ISO range 100 - 1600.

 no editing involved, as is.
i rarely do, except for cropping & resizing to upload faster.
but i'm slowly learning photoshop, so someday will get into that "editing mode."

so i gotta get crackin'!

1 more day til....

...it's a very special day.
you'll find out tomorrow what it is.

and for it, i made a special card...
