Family Trip to the Pumkin Patch

So we had this awesome trip to Tanaka Farms on Saturday (10/18) with The Stopniks (whom we love so dearly) and my mom of course. We had so much fun. Dylan ran around everywhere with Matt and those two started a whole pumpkin rolling down the hill game....it was hilarious! We found an extra big pumpkin to carve and I picked some vegetables. Drayden also enjoyed his first trip to the patch. WE also made a pit stop at another local patch that Dylan loves. It had slides, jumpers and a train!! We always have so much fun as a family and I truly cherish every moment of it. I can't wait for more to come. Life is good :)

Okay so I have an obsession with these amazing books. It's a healthy obsession though because it involves reading :) When my mom first introduced me to these books I was a little skeptical. I thought "oh come on, these books are for teens, how can I relate", but then my mom went on to tell me that the books had to do with vampires and from then on she got me. I love vampires and have always been so interested in them, it's the goth in me, so this was the perfect book for me. It also has a great love story to it and I'm a sucker for lovey dovey stuff. I'm lame like that :) Anyway...so my mom got me the first book in the series "twilight" and i remember reading the first paragraph and not putting it down for hours. I would read it and Dylan would ask "what's going on in it now mommy?" because he knew how into I was. It was pretty darn cute. I pretty much finished the book in a week and went on to the others. I now am reading the second to the last book called "Eclipse". Almost done and on to the last one "Breaking Dawn"! So excited! I highly recommend these books.

Switching it up..

Hello everyone. Dylan and I have decided to switch things up on here. We're going to keep it artistic but we also want to show you all our adventures and what we're into right now. Dylan has alot to share and so we don't want to limit ourselves on our blog. We want to talk about family, toys, books and whatever else tickles our fancy. Hope you all enjoy!

Dylan's favorite toy for now..........

This is IRON MONGER!!!!!! All the power of the Iron Monger is focused on the destruction of Iron Man. Iron Monger makes the pavement crack, buildings shudder and cause some major chaos! How could not love this guy!!!

Artist of the Week (Liana's pick)

Nicoletta Ceccoli and Kukula



One of my favorite artists (Kukula) gets together with illustrator Nicoletta to make some awesome artwork!!

*Nicoletta Ceccoli (San Marino, Italy) has made a name for herself illustrating children's books, including winning the prestigious Italien Anderson Prize for best illustrator of the year in 2001. She recently has been showing paintings in US galleries and has already has already garnered great demand for her allegorical, luminous, dream-like paintings. Painted in acrylic on paper, each work is meticulously crafted to the point where brush stokes disappear, and each image seems to float within it's own hazy light. This is her first major US gallery exhibition.

*Kukula (San Francisco) takes a darker spin, placing her sexy/sickly doll-like subjects in situations usually only one step away from disaster. In this particular series, she explores the idea of the "last hour before death", using death as a metaphor for both a beginning and an end. She has painted most of her paintings in a 5" x 7" format to better play of the concept of her characters final snapshots, and the work will be displayed in a memento mori/funeral type setting.

P.s:
If interested, word on the street that the exhibit will be out in L.A soon. I'll keep ya posted!
