the next generation

it's fun and weird and cool that most all my friends have kids. and it's really awesome to get together with them and well, just see them all together and hope our kids will grow up together and be as close as I am with all their parents. Good Times!

Carmen with Bella, Sophie (Sam's daughter) and Mateo (Chrissy's son) they were in a "band" and had practice and then showed us their grand finale:



Carmen with Kai (Adie's son) at Auntie Roxy's 30th birthday. Carmen figured out how to get the doggies out of their kennels:

a retrospective

We have a camera that we've been taking tons of pictures on and until recently, could not find the cord to download a whole bunch of gems. Finally, I have downloaded them. It is always fun, and sad, to see how much carmen has changed. So, of course, I'm posting some of my favs. It's so hard to believe how much she's growing and changing.

Currently, her favorite movie is Annie. We watch it at least twice a day.
She loves to give big hugs.
She loves, loves, loves her auntie "janny" and calls her "my janny".
She likes to sing and dance and count, she can count to 15.
She's just a whole lot of fun. I think we'll keep her.

nothing fancy. just a nice clean site to show what i do.

Carmen is seriously the cutest girl ever.

I'm sure it may be of no surprise to you, but Carmen has been doing some very cute things lately.

She has gotten very interested in watching "TB" (as she calls it) and we've started introducing her to some movies. From the moment we popped "Annie" in, Carmen has been in love. And everyday she askes for, "Annie, Annie, Annie" til we push play on the DVD. Then she proceeds to twirl around and dance and try to sing and say, "oh my goodness, oh my goodness." Seriously, it's the cutest thing ever.

Carmen has also started calling me "Jera".
We keep correcting her...but she keeps calling me by my name.

She is developing some new awesome dance moves. We've been trying to get some video, so hopefully, I'll have some posted soon.

She makes up songs and sings them.

Carmen's babysitter called in sick yesterday, so I had the luxury of spending all day with Carmen. We watched Carmen's new favorite movie, Annie, like 2 times and then I took her out in the backyard and had a little photoshoot. She just looked too cute I couldn't resist.



She looks like her Papo Fred in this picture:

Hello there friends and family. Today Shay and I launched a website for Elle & Emme. It's a new children's perfume. It's an amazing product and we've had a lot of fun working on this project. I've also worked on the logo, packaging and other marketing materials for them.

little biker girl

we went to phoenix this past weekend and our friends have quite the bike collection. they recently acquired a little radio flyer tricycle. carmen was pretty excited about it and so we plopped her on it and doesn't she look perfect?

so perfect we decided to try her out on their unicycle:


i think she may have thought we were a little silly. but she's cute nonetheless.
