Baby your Baby! Win a baby mat!

I am in super busy packing mode right now, acck!  The moving crates are arriving tomorrow so we are down to the wire here.  If you are waiting on a email from me, I promise I will get back to you asap!

Now for a little fun, I’m going away (well to Atlanta) and you are going to get the presents! WEEE!  The super duper fab peeps over at ShopBestever.com have given me a fabulous prize to give away to my blog readers this week.  Between now and Monday you can enter to win one of their hottest selling baby mats.  Let me tell you, these are the biggest things going in the baby market right now, they have been featured in TV Guide, In Touch Weekly and tons of other magazines.  Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez and many A-list celebs have these for their brand new babies.  So I think that one of my blog reader babies deserves one too!

The winner will get their choice of one of the six baby mats - pink bear, blue bear, giraffe, pink cat, blue dog or monkey.  My personal favorite is the giraffe.  You should see the lamb mat that is due to release very soon.  To enter the contest send a email to contest@angelacalderon.com and give me your name and email.  You will not be spammed and your information will not be given to anyone other than myself.  For everyone who enters the contest I also have a special coupon code to give you to save money on any purchase at shopbestever.com.  The deadline for entries is Monday 7/28/08 at Noon (that’s Pacific time, so East Coasters you have until 3pm).  Valid in the USA only.  This contest is open to all blog readers, photographers, moms, dads, kids, passers by, friends, foes, countrymen, peeps, humans and even furry friends.  One entry per household.

Enter to win for your baby, your furry friend or you could even give it as a gift.  Let me tell you these are the softest things ever, your little ones will love this for tummy time or just chilling on the floor relaxing.  I’ve heard that dogs and cats like them too!  Here are the six mats that you can choose from!

Remember my sweet little client Lola from a couple of months ago?  She had the giraffe mat!

Happy Birthday x 2

Today is my sweet baby girl’s birthday.  She is four years old, wow how did that happen, time sure does fly!  Here she is blowing out the candles on her super special Hello Kitty birthday cake!

This little client of mine celebrated his first birthday on Friday.  His name is Max and he had the most BEAUTIFUL deep brown eyes and super long eyelashes.  Oh gosh he was so sweet and he had the nicest parents and lucky for us it wasn’t too hot today, such a nice breeze.  Thank you to Max and his wonderful parents for such a great morning.  Here are a few photos of the fabulous Mr. Max!

I’m back!!!

I have to tell you, the Disney Cruise was FANFLIPPINGTASTIC! Disney sure does everything first class. We had the best time and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Mexico was one hot place I tell ya, oh and it was super humid too, I guess I’m ready for Atlanta’s humidity now!

I promised to come home with lots of photos to share, and I certainly have a ton of those, however my two stinkers just were not really wanting me to take photos of them so be prepared for a lot of photos of “stuff”. One of these days hopefully I will get some good shots of them!

The weather was so bizarre, one minute it was freezing cold, the next minute it was a gazillion degrees. My little ones loved hanging out in the Mickey Pool.

There were characters everywhere on the ship, we even had breakfast with them one morning!

The lobby of the ship was amazing, check out the chandelier, it was created by the famous artist Dale Chihuly and it weighs over 3,000 pounds!

The arches in Cabo, even the birds posed for me (although here they look like dirt on my lens!)

This boat in Cabo looked funky and colorful to me so I took a picture of it

In Mazatlan our tour made a stop at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, it was AMAZING

Each night when we would return to our cabin, we would have a towel animal on our bed. The kids loved that! Here is the elephant we found waiting for us one night, along with the yummy sleepy chocolates!

My little 007 James Bond, I mean Spencer Bond on formal night!

On the last day at sea they have a special graduation ceremony for all of the kids club members. They even get a special tshirt and a graduation cap with mouse ears!

Ok I’ll be back to add more photos later, my poor Mac keyboard is freaking out on me and needs a break!

M. I. C… you real soon!

Tonight I will be unplugging for a while, we are going on vacation and will be on the Disney Cruise for a week.  How in the world will I survive without the internet for a week?  My husband thinks I’ll break down and use Disney’s internet at some point to check my email (he totally is on to me!).  We are so excited for this vacation, YAY!

This morning I photographed the most BEAUTIFUL children.  Oh my goodness, their Mom sent me a photo of them prior to meeting them, but when they stepped out of their car they were even more stunning in person.  Thank you to the D family for being so sweet and wonderful, it was awesome to spend the morning with you.  I hope the carnival was fun and that you found some good seafood!

See what I mean when I say these kids were gorgeous, good grief how cute are they?

I am in love with K’s hair!

Now you will have to indulge me here for a minute as I share my own two little ones.  They wanted to try on their pirate costumes yesterday.  One of the nights on the cruise they have a pirate costume party and everyone on board dresses up and they have fireworks in the middle of the ocean.  My little one is beyond my mini me, my husband says she is my clone!

I’m cracking up at how my son’s ears are in this shot, he kept taking his hat off and putting it back on so his ears ended up getting a little squished!

Ok all of you out there in blog land be good and I will see you next week!

Californians…Are your hands free?

I sure hope they are so you don’t get a ticket!  Today the new law goes in to effect, no cell phones up to your ear!  http://www.dmv.ca.gov/cellularphonelaws/index.htm

UPS just dropped off my bluetooth Jawbone, so now I won’t go to jail when someone calls me when I’m out and about.   I feel like I’m ready to work the drive thru or like I’m starring in the Janet Jackson Control video.  Do you want fries with that?

Enjoy a little Janet for a Tuesday afternoon, Miss Jackson if you’re Nasty. ;-)
