Turkey - part deux

so..... we last parted at "dinner is served"..........here's a shot of my Q-ute kiddo eating his supper - I think Andrew and Q were the only two kids that ate actual taste tested the turkey! Marz filled up on cookies and chips, Antonio filled up on an assortment of fresh and dried fruit. :)

here's a shot of the kid's hors d'oervres table - since my boys are spiderman crazy - i thought it would be fun to go that route...it was a big hit with them and the action figures - too! Superman made an appearance in the carrot bowl (thanks to marcel) captain hammer tried grapes and r2d2 was all about the cheese cubes!



We had a blast at our thanksgiving feast and on the family tour. We look forward to many many more!!

Turkey Day

Hey y;all,
here's a few snaps from our turkey feast with the fam. We had sooooo much fun and ate loads too!

Our day started with non-stop figurines for all the cousins. They were in heaven! You name cousin andrew had it, spiderman, batman, captain hammer, star wars, pirates. Oh, to be a boy that day!



Next, to St. Andrews for a fine game of croquet. David won 1st then "Uncle Steve" took the grand prize home (or at least the grand prize stayed home).......

Next it was turkey carving time with Tony. Look out edward scissorhands, you have competition.

I'll have to post round two shots....We are off to trader joes to see if we can find some fuel for my larry boy crazed son!!!

Pirates!

ARRRGH! Matey.......

My cute son Q, painted this masterpiece at kindergarten. He came home sooooo proud of it. Of course I had to ask what it was and he said a pirate ship - so I helped him spell it out and it's a TOTAL keeper!! Definitely gonna frame this bad boy with my michaels coupon then put it on the walls of our new diggs.

Hope y'all had a fab thankful day, we sure did on the family tour across northern cali. It was great to see the ones we love ever so dearly and all be thankful together.
Love you all!

Eternal Thankfulness

There is no picture (or words for that matter) that will convey all I have to be grateful for. There are so many people in need and we have been blessed with plenty, it makes my heart humble to know all that the Lord has done for me and my family. He has brought us to the right place (to live) at the right timing in our lives based on our needs. So... no pictures today... just a bible verse reminding me to be EVER grateful in all circumstances.

Blog to ya in a few days, Anna

1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in
Christ Jesus.

My little strawberry

Native American Kinder Day

So on friday at school the whole kindergarten got together to celebrate native american day - it was cool they had rotating stations of different activities. We made teepees, did a rain dance, planted corn, made bracelets, hunted and gathered, shot buffalos and bears, made sand art, had a feast and also made drums. Q had a blast and thankfully i was able to attend and i had lots of fun too!


Here's a pic of Q and I during his native american day feast - he ate popcorn, beef jerky, cranberry sauce, corn muffin, drank juice and ate candy corn!! No surprise he was one of the few to actually taste test everything. He's a good eater.




Here's Q hunting the buffalo with a bow and arrow. Don't touch the bussamo!

We are looking forward to a real thanksgiving feast in a few days with the family. Take care and beeeeee grateful!

9 years strong

Today is a special day in the MAQI household - It's our nine year anniversary - We had anniversary cake for breakfast - the boys still think one of us had a birthday and we tried to explain the whole wedding thing but they don't quite grasp that yet.....
Anyhow I made my love a MINI book... surprise... it has cute little pictures of just us two and love notes tucked away on each page just for him. :) The book was kit from michael's - "k and co" it's chip board pages and i made all the mini envelopes and tags from die cuts - all the sayings are stickers about love and marriage.....

I also made a card from anna griffin paper - it's probably the most difficult one I have made. Lots of folds and pieced strips of paper. I had fun none the less.

Thanks for 9 wonderful years honey,

Lucky charms

SOOOOO - I was making a card at the dining room table and the boys were playing adjacent to me and Q says...Look at me!! He had the cheesiest grin and looked so darn cute I had to snap a shot of him!! Who could resisit all that cuteness?

SOOOO If you put a picture of one kid on the blog, you have to put a pic of the other one!! Here's my Marz giving me the glove hands - he thinks he's a superhero whenever he wears gloves. Of course he is a superhero in my heart all the time!

Love them boys!
