Happy Easter!

Happy Easter !!! I hope you are having a great time with your family. We are having a family time, will go to church and enjoy our time together. Later we will have dinner together at a local Restaurant and the nwe will enjoy some yummy homemade Chocolate cheesecake.

I think with the years every Holiday gets more and more commercial and that is sad. My daughter was talking about Easter the other day, you know bunnies, eggs, new shoes, new dress, but then I asked her what are we celebrating? She looked at me and say Jesus. I explained her what Easter is about, she got it, then when my husband came home from work she was so happy to tell daddy what and why we are celebrating Easter. We don't worship a dead Jesus because He resurrected, He is Alive, Risen!!! Thank you Lord for your love.

I hope you enjoy the real menaing of Easter.

In other things, I have few pictures to share with you. Last Wednesday I invited my neighbor to have dinner with us, so I made some Yakisova noddles and Banana Bread. I always add chocolate chips to my BB, it was yummy!! It didn't last for too long, LOL.

And, on Thursday DD and I dyed some eggs, she had a lot of fun coloring eggas and of course some of the dye inked her fingers and mine too, LOL, Isn't she adorable??

Hope you have a great Family Sunday.

Happy Easter and God bless you.

New blog banner

Hello my friends, I hope you are having a great day!! Today I tried to stamp, but my inspiration was (and is) in somewhere land, so instead I decided to change my blog banner, here is not snowing anymore, actually is getting really nice!! Finally Spring is here. I don't live close to the ocean, very sad because I love to go to the beach. In Peru the beach is only 20 minutes from my dad's house, super cool!! Anyway, this picture is not from Peru either, LOL. DH took this picture when he was serving in the Persian Gulf. I really like this picture, brings a lot of peace. Amazing is God who created this beauty!!

I hope you like it this way.

Happy Monday everyone, I hope your day is happy and bright. Today, I don't have anything to show you, it started just as any other day and ended up doing some yard work!! WHAT?!?! I was not planning at all doing any yard work, I just planned to do some projects with DD as our homeschool class, we were starting our pots and putting some seeds to start indoors, of course I explained and did most of the job, but DD was happy, (yes, not math or spelling class, she was a happy girl).
Then I saw some weeds (well, a lot, LOL) so I had my rake and started raking, after a while I had a pile of weeds waiting to be moved into the burn pile, i was getting tired, feeling the heat in my face and body. I decided I should stop and get inside because I was HUNGRY!!! Yes, it was 1:10pm!!! DD was playing on the computer, (did I say playing on the computer???), I drank some water and made some yummy BBQ sandwiches (I love leftovers).

I planned to do some stamping, (BTW MY great friend and neighbor Nicole brought me today tons of stamps!!! Thanks so much Nicole and Gary.) but I am soooooo tired and decided better start my dinner and get ready to take DD to her swim lesson.
