Heather's Hair page two

This is the second page of Heather's hair!  This is a design form CTMH and is so easy to copy and/or chane to fit your photos.  I am so thankful that Heather was surrounded by her close friends and her family.  All so important to her!

Heather's Wedding Hair

We are so lucky that Cristina was there to help with Heather's hair for her big day!  We all enjoyed the morning festivities in Heather's room!  Wait until you see the spread that Brenna provided for everyone!  This was the start of a outstanding day for the Jenkins' family!

Life is a Joy Ride - Little Rudy

This is the second page from yesterday's posting.  I loved these photos of Little Rudy from 2012.  He is full of energy and makes me smile.  The papers and design for these pages are for Quick Quotes.  Life is a joy ride when you are surrounded by family and friends!

Enjoying Life - Little Rudy Style

Rudy's favorite activity at our house is dancing to the Damce Party Wii games!  He is very good and does have his favorites!  This one is done to the song, " Moves like Jagger!"  Here is a warning though, you will have to dance too!

Heather and Sharon Creating Centerpieces

For Heather's wedding reception, she came up with the idea of using succulents in her center pieces. And we were so lucky to have Sharon come over to help us.  She is a great friend and we were able to put these together in a couple of hours!  They were so beautiful on the tables!

Melanie's 8th birthday, page 2

When it is your birthday party, waiting for your cake and presents is so exciting.  I love the look of anticipation on Melanie's face.  We wre so lucky to be able to share these moments with her.

Melanie's 8th birthday

In an effort to "catch up" with my scrapbooking, I have now completed a page from Melanie's 8th birthday party! We all went to the roller rink for her party,  I even put on a pair of skates and took a couple of turns aroundd the rink!

Baby it's Cold Outside page 2

Page two!  Earlier, when they were having snowy weather in North Carolina, I asked Rudy to let 
 His mom take a picture of him outside he told me it was too cold! Well, I finally have some photos of them outside!   Thank you Brenna for sharing,!  I know they will appreciate this when they are older,

Baby it's cold outside, page 1

So, I always see great layouts centered around snow and think "rats, I don't have any snow pictures." Well, thanks to Brenna and the snowy weather of North Carolina, I have finally scrapbook end my grandchildren in snowy weather!  I will be looking for another photo to add to this page, but I love this picture Brenna took.  This is Isabel and Rudy exploring the snow in their backyard!  I am thinking of printing this in black and white.  

Pampered Chef Shower

We thought it would be an awesome idea to have Melissa's shower be a Pampered Chef party!  It was an outstanding gathering!  She made out like a Pampered Chef bandit!  I think the colors in this page are pretty close to her wedding colors!

Page 2 Melanie's Birthday Faces

Here we have a few of the younger faces from Melanie's skating birthday 9th birthday party!  Gabriel, Dennica and Anthony.  A party isn't a party without this group in attendance . Love the stache Mel!

Melanie's 9th Birthday

One of the best thing about being a member of my family is you get to celebrate your birthday month!  Thi is a combination of two of Melanie's events!  Family dinner at our house and laser tag another evening!  Wait until you see what she did to celebrate at her next party!  I can't believe she is nine!

Great Friends

Wedding receptions bring friends and family together.  And Heather and Alex's reception had such a wonderful group in attendance!  Here are a few of Alex's good friends.  I will have to let him add their names to the page when I have finished their book.

Hula at the Reception

My favorite moment of the evening of Heather and Alex's reception was when the Makuas performed to my all time favorite song, "Maunaleo" by Keali'i Reichel!  It is such a beautiful song and these women are beautiful dancers!  I also loved seeing my granddaughters dance with them!  Mahalo!

Historical Neon Lights

Here are just a few more examples of some Las Vegas historical neon lights!  I wish they were all lit now, I do love the lights of Las Vegas!  

Neon Lights!

Just a sample of some of the recognizable signs that are now resting in the Boneyard.  I am so glad that the history of Las Vegas has been preserved here!  If you haven't been here before, you need to go!

HADR Boneyard

Here we are waiting for the tour to begin!   So much more to do in Las Vegas instead of gambling (though that is great fun too!).  Wait until tomorrow !  More neon lights to come!

Boneyard Pics

Walking around the Boneyard, I took many photos.  I thought the letters of our first names would be a cute idea!  These were taken from the Frontier, the Sahara, the Horseshoe and the Dunes Casinos.

 

Neon Boneyard - Wedding Weekend Fun

My sister Nancy had such a great idea for some fun before the wedding ceremony!  We visited the Neon Boneyard!  Such an interesting place, so many great stories about old Las Vegas!  We had an awesome guide who was quite knowledgeable!   More pages to follow!

Cancun - the Last Page

This is the last page of our Cancun memories..  Not the last night but my last page.  This was the first evening of  us all being together, hanging out at the shopping center across from the hotel; enjoying why the evening has to offer!  Another great vacation with a wonderful group of friends!  

Michael at Medieval Times - 5 years old

Our first visit to Medieval Times was to celebrate Michael's birthday.   It was January 1988!  Such a handsome little guy.  In our family, we celebrate the entire month.  We do know that Roy and Brenna were at another activity that night.  It was just me, Michael and Heather at this party.  I think Michael recently went back with his family, I will have to see if he had his picture taken with the King.

Carlos n Charlie - Cancun

It isn't called Party Center because it is a quiet place!  We stopped in for some Happy Hour refreshments and some fun ,  look at the size of the beers and the cucaracha lol!  The servers at this place know how to create some laughs.  Our vacation is winding down and it will be on to new adventures with friends and family.

Señor Frog's - Cancun

We headed into the center of town to enjoy some refreshments and do a little shopping.  The bus ride is almost as much fun as our photo session.   We enjoyed the walk, even when we saw the crocodile warning sign.  We looked and didn't see any.  The closest we got was the frog in this picture.  

Last dinner in Cancun

It was our last evening together and we decided to celebrate at an Italian restaurant  which was located at tne mall across the stret fromthe. Hotel.  What a great decision, the food was very delicious  and of course, the company was the best!  I love being able to share special times with friends and look forward to many more adventures!

Ruins!

It was such an interesting place to visit!  And, like Kathy said yesterday, it was so hot,  We were sweating so much and walking.  Thank goodness for the shady spots,  just remember that you must not miss this spot when you are in Cancun; it is simply amazing!

Chichen itza

When you go to Cancun, you must visit Chichen Itza!  What a amazing place.  We took a tour, leaving from the hotel and I would certainly recommend it.  Great service on the bus, knowledgeable tour guides and overall worth the price of the ticket!  I will be sharing more, so stop by tomorrow !

Cancun-----My cover page

Three out of the four pictures on this page were taken by Greg Carnine.  Perfect photos of a perfect place to celebrate just relaxing,  these are the types of photos that made me want to visit this Westin property!  I would go again! This page will be the title page of of our vacation album! the title page of our vacation

Page 2 Margaritaville

Just a shot of us enjoying our meal!  Overall, we had a great time even out a margarita or beer!  Hearty laughs, friendly servers, a tasty burger and a motley group of people makes for an enjoyable event!

Margaritaville in Cancun

Well, here is a good story; Ron and Sharon have arrived in Cancun and it is time for some dinner.  We hop on the bus and head over to Margaritaville for some burgers and drinks.  Can you imagine our surprise when we find out that no liquor is being served because it is Election Day!  Well, we made the most of it and enjoyed some tasty, cold water!  We stayed long enough to finish our meal and headed back to the hotel (where they could sell liquor).  We did love our balloon hats and wore them back!

Enjoying the View

The morning we had our Cuban coffee, this was the view from the deck.  Peaceful in the morning.  We did see boats coming and docking here to get their goods from the liquor store.  We watched an iguana burst out of the bushes to stun his prey.  But most of all, we enjoyed each other's company!

Fun in Cancun continues

This is the companion page to yesterday's posting.  Here we are showing Ron and Sharon enjoying the cold beer.  But I believe that wasn't Sharon's drink of choice but we let her pose with the glass.  Great times in Cancun!
