The Life of Mrs Magoo

Welcome Baby!!

I could not be more happy and ecstatic. My sister Vanessa had her baby this morning at 1:42am. A beautiful baby girl named Naomi Mercedes. I still cannot believe that my sister is a mom. I could not be happier for her. Jared and I went to visit our new little niece, and I almost teared up from happiness. She is beautiful.

I am looking forward to getting to know this little girl, and spoiling her rotten. And watching my sister grow into an amazing mother. It will be wonderful.

The Past Week

Sorry for the lack of blogging, it has been a busy week and now on top of that and playing catch up I have an awful summer cold. Can you believe it? It totally sucks. So, I will share some photos from my past week and be back later with a real post.

 

Hope you're having a good Tuesday!!

I will be back...

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, I had an AMAZING weekend celebrating lots of surprises. But, I have tons of fun photos I want to share too and lots of stuff to tell. But I will be back with a full post. And if you're Canadian..Happy Canada Day it's tomorrow!! Hope it's a fun one!!

Oh and one more happy 23rd birthday to my baby sister Olga...love you!!

29

Today is my last day of being in my twenty's. I have not been looking forward to this day for awhile. I think my main thing is that I don't feel ready to be 30 yet. I have not finished or accomplished some things that I thought I would have had done my the time I reach 30. That is something that I am having a hard time accepting. But, I have to remember that things happen for a reason and they happen when the time is right and, I guess my time is not now or then. I have to remember that. I am thankful that I have been around this long, have been loved by so many family and friends, have learned so much already in my twenty's. Good things.

Besides I hear that 30 is the new twenty ;) Have a good weekend!!

I'm almost there...

The end of the school year is near, two more days left. I cannot wait. I already have a nice list of things I need to do and want to do.  And did you know that it is my birthday on Saturday. I am turning 30. I cannot believe it let alone say it. But another post about that will be coming soon. I need to put all my thoughts down.

But I wanted to share some cool links. Both friends of mine too.

First, Sarah. I have known her since high school. She lives in London now and has started a blog about cooking. I discovered it on Facebook and can I say that there are some delicious recipes that I will be trying out for sure so, go check it out...

And second, my friend Tanya she's awesome. She's crafty too and I'm looking forward to being crafty with her this summer. She's also one who has helped me with my SU business. She has started a new website and it's all about crafting and lots of ideas, swaps are starting and links. But she is doing a postcard swap not due until September. It's all what you want to do. So, go check it out and sign up too.

That's it for today. Go check out those sites and I'll be back soon!! 

For Baby...

My mom, Olga and I threw a baby shower for my sister Vanessa on Saturday!! It was tons of fun, small with mostly family and some yummy delicious Mexican food made by my Mama. We also played some fun games, especially tasting baby food and guessing what it was. You wonder how some babies can actually eat it!! Here are some photos...

She looks good, don't you think? She's due on July 7th but, it can be any day now. I love the photo of the three of us. And how about all the things I made..the cupcakes were delicious.

Father's Day was good, I will have to share later some photos of my Dad that I took over the weekend, they are so cute and so him!!

And it's also my last week of school. YAY!! Four days left!!

The countdown is on...

Until I start  Summer Break so, it's 10 days. I CANNOT WAIT!! I am already in Summer Vacation mode and with the weather being so nice it's hard to be in the class with the kids although we have been spending lots of time outside so, that's kind of nice.  Not much going on except being busy with classes, school and other fun festivities. Have been doing some work in the yard which is kind of fun. Jared has been giving the backyard a whole new makeover. He hopes to have it done by this weekend. I will have to take some photos, it's going to look amazing and be a real summer oasis this summer.

So, other than that not much else but I will leave with you some Peonies that I bought from the grocery store so pretty and they smell good.

Somehow I think I shared these photos already, be back with more...have a good week!! Happy Monday!!

OMG...I actually scrapped!!

I did. Saturday  afternoon I made 6 pages with my Studio Calico May kit. And it was good and it felt good to actually make something that was just for fun and not for classes. I could've kept going but, Jared came home and we went out for a bit. So, that's okay. But for sure more will be coming and I will try not next time to leave so much space in between creating stuff for fun versus "work" related. But here is what I made...
 

I did scrap a couple of old pictures. Good memories.

Yum...I just LOVE the happy face!!

So, what did you think? I'm quite happy about them..more to come for sure!!

I think one of the best parts of the weekend is now not only that the weather is nicer and summer is closer but, the time that Jared and I get to spend together. It's all kind of new now especially since his work schedule does not involve weekends so much. So, yesterday we went on a little bike ride around the neighborhood and stopped at Starbucks for some iced teas. It was fun!!

He's on the phone...

Yummy teas, J ared had a Green Tea Lemonade and I had an Iced Soy Chai...YUMMY!

HAHAHA!! A self portrait..not the greatest though...

Jared and I with a timer photo, not the greatest either 'cause it was hard to see with the refelction of the sun, but I love it!!

That's  it for today, hope you all had a good weekend!!

hello!!

Hi Everybody!! Yes, I am still here. Just busy doing things. I just got home from the gym and it was a very good workout!! Jared is working and it's supposed to be a nice day today. So, I will be spending some time outside and doing some scrapping!! Which I know it's hard to believe, it's been awhile!! But just wanted to pop in say hi!! Be back soon...

In my head...

I have had these songs in my head the past almost two weeks...
