The girls..

Once in a while I talk the girls into a few pics..

 Christmas was the perfect time for some new pics. It is just amazing to me that they are so grown up and independent and a while ago I came to the conclusion that I have to enjoy them now and not miss so much the years when they were little girls...

Love to spend time just talking or laughing out of control at anything..shopping together, baking and many other things that we all enjoy to do.

Daughters are so much fun...

A few more perzonalized gifts..

Name frames are so much fun to make for friends and co workers. I got the idea from a gift that I received and I was inspired to make a few more...

Gift tag making..

Today i finished my tag project, I really wanted this year to give my  gifts a  personalized little hand made touch to it.
 I got the idea from Pottery Barn over a month ago and I decided that I could make this.
Of course my 'cricut" made this fun and easy as I was able to pre cut the tags and then the letters. I added a little bling to each letter.

Count down to Christmas....

Just some beautiful Christmas ideas. I'm so in the mood for Christmas pretiness and I have so little time to play..I started my Christmas cards and I really will like to make this wreath...Our home is decorated and now I just will like to make a few things...

Love the Holidays....

Happy Thanksgivings.~

So Blessed to have a great family and friends. For the simple things on life...This year we are not celebrating at home, we are going to the Little America for their Thanksgivings brunch. I'm looking forward to this and to be together as a family.

The first great snow of the season..

I couldn't resist going outside this morning to take some pics of the snow. I love the beauty of the first big storms, waking up on a Sunday, seems calm and pristine...

My red room...

In this room is where i spend my free time, creating fun things and getting away from the everyday responsibilities and work. We recently purchased this table and it goes so well with the room because it is so "artsy"...i love having a space for myself and for all my paper and trinkets...a very fun room indeed...

The Garden Shed...

The Garden Shed was a summer project for David, it really turned out amazing. He added so much detail into it, very typical of him when he is working on something...He is very happy with the results and is a great addition to our backyard.

Las Vegas 10-10-10

This week we had a few days of fun in Las vegas. We were there to celebrate David's birthday and to attend the wedding of some close friends..all of this on 10-10-10...We love the Vegas craziness..the people, the amazing restaurants, the shows and the shopping..We stayed at Planet Hollywood and chances are we'll stay there again, because we love how it is in the middle of everything...

Animation world...

Love the world of animation and to have the chance to see Cristine at work...creating the scenes that will go into movies...getting her ideas together and enjoying every piece of it..

Our sweet Jasmine.

On September 6 we lost our beautiful girl. She was 20 days old when she joined our family and soon enough she was just one of the girls. She was with us for 17 years, sharing all her puppy love. I don't think i can describe the sadness of our first week without her, because life is just not the same. We keep in our hearts the wonderful memories of her and all the joy shared through the years.

Red Butte Gardens

We went to a Doobie Brothers concert at Red Butte Garden, I wasn't sure about their music, but they were super entertaining and we all had a good time. Before the concert we walked trough the gardens and got some pics. We were lucky that Krystel and Cristine were able to join us ...I say "lucky" because I feel that they are so busy all the time...The weather was lovely and I just enjoy so much the first sign of autumn in the weather..

Schmidt family Reunion 2010

We had a fun time at the reunion this year. The family got together in St George, it was very warm as expected. It is great to be able to see everyone and get some good family pics. While we were there we went to see Tarzan at Tuacahn Amphitheater that offers musical productions through the year. The most memorable moments are really the ones that we spend together as a family..
