An East Coast Style Throwback!

A few years ago we went to New York and it was such a great place to visit, we ended up staying longer! So this is one of our throwback pictures of the week.

After New York we drove through the Holland Tunnel over to New Jersey and found the street named after my Grandpa's family.

Pretty cool, huh? Look how small the kidlets are. Time is flying by! Here's to family trips and family names! Happy Thursday to all! Taniya

Super Mother's Day Happiness!

Mother's Day was a beautiful day here in So. Cal. and my sweetie-pie kidlets and husband made it a special day! They made blueberry pancakes (my favorite!) and had this lovely bouquet right next to my plate.

Luke plays with his food quite often and did this to his plate.

Alani got these pretty green stone earrings at a booth during the Vineyard Run we were in a couple Saturdays ago, that I still need to blog about. The lady told Alani the stones were from some river in Indonesia. Kinda neat-o!

Both of the earrings were on my dresser last night and this morning I could only find this one. But I WILL find the other one! This is who I'm certain is responsible!

She regularly steals things and hides them.
The rest of my day was relaxing because I didn't have to do dishes or laundry or any of that other boring stuff that all mama's need to do. Then later that evening Alani and Luke made these.

Cookie dough on the bottom, with Oreos on top, then with brownie batter on top of that! Oh my goodness, they are very rich and yummy and they did such a good job! So that was my Mama's Day! I didn't get to see our oldest because she had to work, and we sure did miss her, but I will see her soon :)

Oh! I can't leave this out...my husband gave me these

because they say "Mother's" on them and he thought they were appropriate! Such a crack up! Happy Mother's Day (a bit late) to each and every one of you!! Taniya
