Obscure Perspective

I've always loved the simple tones of a black and white photo. These were a few taken at a family members home.

A Party for Diem!

My brother-in-law just celebrated a birthday with his family, so I wanted to share a few special moments....

The Birthday Boy with his 11 month old, Jazzmyn.

Cousin Casey was in town with her 2 kids for a visit. She's pictured with the Segura Twins and cousin Vinny.

Whenever we get together for food, it's always a good time!

Gomez Family Birthdays

Dan, Vinny and myself had fun last weekend celebrating the birthdays of Laz, Sophie and Emma of the Gomez family. And I have to add that Orange County parks are the shiznit compared to Brevard :)

Laz assisted the girls when it came to opening presents, while Neela took pictures and enjoyed watching her family have fun.

Here we see Laz opening an Xbox game. Hey, we had to get rid of that huge box somehow....why not watch Laz squirm a little!

This was hilarious. After opening all of her gifts, Sophie decided she was done and took her bags and went home.

Sippy Cup

Vinny is really starting to get the hang of the sippy cup now. He doesn't understand he has to tilt the cup so I fill it as much as possible so he doesn't have to try so hard. He's only 10 months and most kids don't totally grasp it until 12 months or so anyway. But we love watching his brain turn and try new things. 

Walkin' Man

With steaks on the grill, Vinny had a blast in his walker running into, I mean, "helping" Dada.

A Day at Grandma's

This is the old wooden high chair that my mom used for me when I was a baby. I'm only 25, but this piece looks like an antique!

Gotta have the the Kool-Aid man sippy cup. OOHH YEAH!!

A Serious Case of........

Baby Jiffy Feet! And although our house is clean, little boys always find dirt. It's science.

How To Make Jiffy Pop!

1. Get excited to make Jiffy Pop.

2. Peel back the OPEN tab.

3. Turn over lid to view instructions.

4. Light gas stove to medium/low and keep package moving to make the contents evenly hot.

5. Allow the package to expand until you hear the popping almost stop.

6. Perforate the top with a fork to allow steam to escape and peel back the foil. 

Now indulge in the late 1950's popping creation!

It's Ok to Play With Your Food, We Promise!

We let Vinny play with his food for the first time and he wasn't thrilled. He was a little disappointed that apple sauce is cold and messy, although it's one of his favorite foods. And ultimately he ended up doing what he hates most....taking a bath.

Vinny's First Petting Zoo

A free, traveling petting zoo came to Titusville January 28-30th. We saw goats, llamas, ring tailed lemurs, ponies, a tiger, and a camel to name a few. Vinny honestly had a good time and actually pet a goat for the first time.

Self explanatory.......

Chocolate Chip Cookies by "Dan the Man"

The easy bake cookies have become a weekly thing in our house. Who cares if it's full of sugar? We don't! 

Farewell 2010 Holidays!

(click photos to see full resolution)

   What better way to say goodbye to the holidays with no other than a good 'ol fashioned tree burning and a live band! This is only a small glimpse of the 3 day party celebrated each year at the Feldt abode. This year is the 21st annual TGTHAFFOP (Thank God The Holidays Are Finally Freakin Over Party) and still going strong.
   With the death of a close friend to the family, this year's party was dedicated to him. A tragic motorcycle accident took his life but he was definitely celebrated this weekend. A poster of photos and a t-shirt signed by everyone who came will be sent to the family to show how much he will be missed.
   On another note, this was Vinny's first live show and big party. He was very well behaved and we received compliments on how adorable he was all night. He really seemed to enjoy the music and both fires burning.
   The one thing we look forward to each year is the food. Oh the food! The first night was Busch chicken and baked potatoes. Tonight there were tacos, ribs, pasta salads, baked potatoes, cake and other little sides. I wonder what will be out for tomorrow since it's the final night. Since we live around the corner, we don't have to worry about dinner for 3 nights!
   This party is definitely something we look forward to each year. It just has that welcoming, hippie feeling. So it doesn't matter if you don't know anyone when you get there, you can talk to anyone. There are no fights, no ill intentions and yes, bring the kids! There are plenty of youngins running around playing flashlight tag and scaring each other in the dark.
   At the end of the night, go ahead and camp out in the back yard. There is a small camper and plenty of tents to share.
