lil' happy faces...

I just love this little face and it just melts my heart....
and I just wanted to share this cutesy pie picture, so that maybe it will bring a smile to your day too!

"smiles and joy are what this world is lacking, and what the world needs so much"....

(this face just makes me laugh!)

Whether you're at school, work, shopping, traveling, or anywhere...shine some smiles where ever you go and watch how it brightens your day and the days of everyone you smiles at...

huge hugs and smiles, your kandee

Pretty In Punk

we're (and by we I mean, she)...1, we're fun and wer're not quite ready to run...but we can crawl like nobody's business and we take a step every once in a while...

 I heart this outfit...it's like the 80's and rock n' roll, skater punk style from years ago...and ofcourse it's from the Mini Harajuku stuff from Target...I La-La-Love everything from that line...I love Gwen Stefani, so ofcourse I'd love her kids clothes!

 all we're missing is the little "punk" motorcycle jacket! ha ha ha
huge love and 1 year old hugs, kandee

Cupcake's 1st Birthday Party

Get ready for our "CUPCAKE's Cupcake 1st Birthday Party"! The funny part is we didn't even have cupcakes to eat...we ordered an ice cream cake!

 Cupcake hats from Target....and I just put some cupcake sticker on them to add some festive-ness!

 Ice cream cone bubbles....we love bubbles. We love bubbles that look like ice cream cones even more.

 I am kinda in love with the "old timey-ness" of these "candy" striped paper straws! I ordered them from: www.sweetsandtreatsboutique.com, they come in every color and polka dots!

 Look at how stinkin cute these paper straws are! The lime green are my favorite! I can think of so many fun craft projects to use these babies!

 I put the straws in my antique trophy cup, and random glasses and mugs. I sprinkled the bubble ice creams cones everywhere too! And I brought out my glass candy jars filled with tulle, to look like cotton candy filled jars. I used my cake stands to add some fun varying heights. (*I still need to edit my "how to make cakestands" video too)

 Cupcake straws....need I say anything else. Well, except that I got them at Target too!

 You can see how the whole "party table" looked! How cute is the little cupcake and polka dot fabric flag banner- and if you guessed I got them at Target again, you'd be right!

 At moments like this, I am reminded just how that buttery yellow, was the happiest color I could have spray painted my chairs!

 Can you see our giant cupcake pinata peeking out from the background?

 and yes, we had to get the cupcake plates too!

 ice cream cones, cupcakes, and pink-a-dots...oh my!

 And Alani helped pick out the cake for little Elyse...she also requested to have the cake decoration, blocks and balloons too!

I woke up extra early on Sunday to decorate....and even though some of our little family wasn't feeling well, and birthday girl teething were giving her some "not-so-happy-ness"...which made us shrink our plans from , "big invite everyone"....to "just a little family party"...we had a great time.

 Grampa, AKA my dad, helping her test out her new "push toy"....

 In her party dress. (It's another Mini Harajuku dress from, where else, but Target! ha ha ha...)

And my precious little 1 year old...oh that sounds so big now!

huge hugs, party hats and fun straws.... your kandee and her 1 year old!

I can't believe this picture was taken exactly a year ago today! I know, everyone say it: but this year has gone by the fastest of them all, it feels!

 And here was me, just a few hours after she was born.....

Oh what a blessing of joy, happiness and love she has been, every single minute of this 1st year she's been here....

Pictures of 1st Birthday Party-ness (and maybe even a video, will be up soon!)...all I can say is it going to be quite "cupcake-tastic"!

Off to celebrate the day!!! huge 1st birthday hugs....kandee


PS, if anyone wanted to know where her little 1st birthday outfit came from, it's by MUDPIE- the cupcake outfit! All their stuff is so adorable!!!

Cold Days, Hot Chocolate and Gift Shopping!

Nothing says warm and cozy, like mugs of hot chocolate inside, when it's cold outside!

Blakey's smaller mug on the right got a little "splattery", when Alani tried putting the whipped cream in, her self....it kinda sprayed hot chocolate everywhere! ha ha ha
And you can see out "valentine's day" heart decorations in the windows- in the background....
I still think my house looks so "plain", after I took down my Christmas decorations.

 mugs of hot chocolate with extra whipped cream, your kandee

PS...we're so excited lil' Cupcake will be, officially, 1 year old tomorrow!!! We went to Babies R Us today and the kids, each picked out a present to give to the baby- they even both picked out the gift bag and cards themselves! So adorable!

Were Getting Ready For Party Time!!!

It's almost time to celebrate little Elyse's (AKA Cupcake) first birthday!!!
We went to Baskin-Robbins to order her ice cream cake today this afternoon...
and we had to get scoops of ice cream while we were there too....
and in Blake and Alani's case....we had to order a second round because they both picked Rainbow Sherbet, but realized after a few licks/bites later...it was "too tart"....
so we had a second round of ice cream selection.

Good thing we didn't pick Rainbow Sherbet for the ice cream cake!

It's countdown to first birthday time! We're so excited!!!

I cannot believe it's  been a year....I'll probably keep saying that for the next year too!

hugs and getting ready for party time.....your kandee and her almost-one-year-old, Ellie Bellie

Ever Feel Like You Have A Monkey On Your Back?

I laughed so hard when I saw this! Alani put the baby's monkey (that has velcro hands) on her back!
The baby loved it and thought it was so funny.  She just kept crawling around Alani's room like nothing was velcro-ed around her! ha ha ha

this is the kind of fun we have in the mornings...
striped jammies and velcro monkeys, your kandee
