Every year when winter ended, we would do a start of spring celebration Called “Birthday of the Trees” Tu B Shvat. A beautiful Jewish holiday that I will forever hold in my heart.
During this time we brought in books about trees and how important they were to our world. We would draw and create our own trees with any materials we had.
This was a simple and fun Clay invitation I put together for my children to create their very own trees and name them. We would then talk about our creations.

What you’ll need:
-sculpting clay
-Clay tools
-tree twigs
-leaves of many sorts

Memory Garden, Custom House Plaza

I really wanted a soft summer wedding, with fresh flowers, simple cotton accents, birdcage centerpieces with a touch of Disney.

A simple white cake with surrounding cupcakes. 🤍 All made by our wonderful cousin Mallory.

We couldn’t say I do without our amazing friends and family.

Erica, Jen, Leticia, Lisset
Lucas, Jeremy, Brandon, Robert, Jim

I will never forget the first time I met Kyle. It was in 2010 during a fall college course at Mission College. I was the head captain of my women’s softball team and ran a very busy lifestyle. I vividly remember shuffling into class and not even noticing my friend Luke in the same class as me. He was sitting next to a really cute guy that I couldn’t help but notice. I was too busy at the time to get into a new relationship but after meeting Kyle and getting to know him (he helping me with my homework) I began to fall more and more interested 🥰. It was hard not to blush with his cute looks, smile, and amazing eyes!! After many walks to my car and occasional chats in the cafeteria I just knew that my heart was growing so fond of him. He was the one. He was so perfect in every way and we had an extremely odd amount of things in common, between love for Comedy and Adam Sandler movies, Food, 90s movies, R&B oldies, American Classics and the list goes on. He was meant for me in every way and I will always say that he was my one who couldn’t get away. To this day we love to laugh and cry together, dance in our kitchen, kiss 24-7 and hug for minutes on end. We have gone through it all and I will always always choose him. I love you babe!

Kyle says that he will always remember noticing me that same day as I walked into class and that he could not keep his eyes off me ever since. 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Lucas: Kyle’s best man and the very guy who Introduced us in Library class of Mission College. We love you both!

Leticia: My baby sister and closest friend. I can always count on my sissy cc.
Brandon: The sweetest friend anyone could ask for. Kyle met Brandon in Middle School and got close through playing baseball and going dirt biking together in High School. They even lived together through some of their college years. Brandon was there for lots of Kyle’s life moments. Buddies for life.

Jeremy: Kyle’s first ever friend since preschool. Kyle and Jeremy share so many meaningful memories through wakeboarding, snowboarding, truck enthusiasm and hardcore metal. The coolest cats when they are together.
Love them so much!

I will always cherish the special connection they have through food and tenderness. Love those guys. Whenever they are around we are always eating good!

Lisset: My dearest cousin that I have always looked up to. God blessed me with her as an older sister and the leader of our family. Don’t mess with her or her Scorpio power will get ya! She’s the best!
