Time Flies*

Wow! It seems like ages. Life in the Rosete household seems to fly by. I've been attending a leadership academy this past week+. Jimmy has been working + working + working. Nyah is having a blast this summer just hanging out.

We have all been consumed by preparation for Riley's first birthday party. (Pictures coming soon!) The candy land was PERFECT for such a sweet baby. Now I'm off to bake cute cookie favors for another 1st birthday party. I'll {try} to remember pictures, but I must say I'm usually in a ruch to get them all packaged and to their destination ON TIME.

And at last, our vacation will soon be here. We're off on a short family vaca... Shopping and FUN here we come! {Can't wait!}

Happy Anniversary

Two years ago today I married my soulmate, and we became family. Lucky me.

Happy Father's Day

...to the best daddy a little girl could ask for. Seriously. Look at the two of them... the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. He really is the best dad ever. Nyah can prove it too! Ask her... she'll tell you.

and to my dad... the best dad in the whole world! I love you.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers who make this world a great place for children. {Most especially my brother}

My Creations*

I've been super busy...CRAFTING!!! I love having time to make things. Jimmy knows I've been up to something. When he calls from work (hee hee... he still has to work. I love being a teacher =) and asks what I'm doing, I tell him baking...but he has no idea I'm baking these:

Delicious cupcakes, doughnuts and lollipops ... Zero calories. This is my latest craft. Polymer clay treats. Nyah enjoys making them too.

Newsflash! My anniversary is this weekend. It's been two years already. Time really flies! So... I've been stressing over what to get my handsome hubby and I still have no clue. The traditional gift for a 2nd anniversary is cotton... I was thinking socks maybe? Maybe not. I'm sure I'll think of something... I always do. I have finished this little project that I'm sure he'll just love. A tin full of love chips... quotes, sayings and funny memories of the last two years.

I was also able to scrapbook a couple of pages for a new friends album too. It's not quite done, but it's coming along. Take a look:

It's a few old cds held together by a binder ring that I turned into an album. I'm hoping to get it done by tonight. So, off I go. Wish me luck!

Updates*

Lots to share... Jimmy is home (finally!!) after a two week vacation (training) in Vacaville,CA. It's great having our family whole again. We suuuure miss him when he has to go away as part of his duties to serve our country.

It's officially summer so here comes the fun! This is the FIRST summer that I've ever taken a break from teaching and going to school. I'm looking forward to just hanging out and having fun. Making good use of these supplies...

Nyah is somewhat convinced that she too, will be hanging out this summer as well... we shall see. Jimmy and I were thinking about a fun recreational activity for her like soccer or dance, but she is content staying home doing crafts with me... can you blame her? =) I'm just fun like that.

In other news, my sister love* Nichol Maria Tanaka Napoleon M. Ed has just graduated with a degree in Special Education. Woo Hoo! Congrats sister.

Our newest arrival has been quite a character. This potty training has got me pooped! I can't seem to get it. Despite the poop, Sophie is such a cutie! Nyah just adores her... our little fruit bat! Maybe we just need to develop a more consistent schedule... But it's hard I tell you!

So we're off... Water day AGAIN!! We are definitely getting our money's worth with this baby! Isn't Hailey soooo cute climbing up the tower? Even Danielle had fun! Jimmy has yet to go down the slide, but he will... {evil snicker*}

Peace out!
