Maria turns 12- 80's so RAD!!!!


My sweet little girl. Time flies when you are having fun, and how can life be anything other than that with you my sweetheart.

The joy, the pride, the love, the happiness, the laughter.... you fill me to the brim. I don't deserve to be the mother of such a divine human being.

My sassy little girl. Sassy as in all that and a bag of chips. I'm amazed by you. I'm blown away at the good, funny, and righteous soul you are.


What cool 12 year old would choose an 80's party. YOU MARIA!!!! YOU!!!!!



I hope you had as much fun as what you spread each day. FUN is your middle name!!!!



I know the Bon Jovi pic was your favorite!!! hahaha










As you get older, the parties get easier. I just set out the stuff, and voila. Party people make it happen.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ALL STAYED UP UNTIL 4AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved that you rolled in the snow at 10PM.
I love that you watched Disney short films.
I love that you freezed cheez-whiz to see what would happen.
I love that you all made radical 80's shirts and fanny packs.
I love that you ate alllllllllllllllllllllllllll that candy and sugar.
I love that I got to see you smile. Your smile is worth a million sunsets. Your happiness is my happiness. I'm connected to you forever my sweet baby. Never forget. Nothing will separate us.




My mom was all 80's. I think the floral print of the 80's never left her system. I loved wearing her glasses. She was there with us I know.






As long as I live, I want my sweet boy to know he can wear pink. He can wear girl gloves and bracelets. I hope he always knows how special he is. And to be happy!!! Life is too short!! Now to take my own advice!!








I wish I was enough for him. But I know I never will be.






Ahhhh... The after party.





Such a glorious time. To celebrate a glorious young lady.
LOVE YOU MARIGIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say It Loud


Jody does so much. Everyone loves him.

It was a really nice event. Great poetry. Great thoughts.
Free expression.

Blacktivism - UNR Event


We had run ragged all day, but we wanted to support our daddy at one of his Black History events. The kids enjoyed making posters and being with Joe at work.  



Dr. King ended up looking like Hitler with a skin disease. Still super awesome!! The girls rocked their art.


Hooray for Black History Month. I also have to add we watched the Kevin Hart special for it and it was so educational and funny!!!
