Happy Birthday!!!

My mother's birthday was almost a month ago, and for the past few years she celebrate it for the whole month instead of the day. So, for her birthday we flew to Mall of America to celebrate in a good way. 

We took the first flight out, and arrived an hour before the stores were scheduled to open, so she was able to walk around and really enjoy being there. After walking around the entire mall, she spot her stores and went to work. After hours of shopping, we ate at pizza station (not pictured) and it was delicious. You make your own pizza like you would do a subway.

We made our way back home, and to our surprise the family was there in wait to surprise her with her birthday cake. I have to say myself that in the words of Ice Cube "Today was a good day".

Doc McStuffin'

Kennedy enjoying herself

Last week my little cousin Kennedy celebrated her fourth birthday at Jungle Java. Even though majority of the party was late an half hour. Once the party girl arrived it was like watching a blur that went by every ten minutes. Not long after enjoying herself Doc McStuffin arrived to enjoy some time with the kids of the play place. Not long after a while more kids began to arrive included in those kids was my niece D'Anna. Upon arrival she was gone right into the play area.

All the kids really enjoyed themselves. When it came to singing her happy birthday that was a whole different story. It was as if she did not want anyone to sing to her. She Just wanted to continue to play and nothing else.

Look at that precious face

The Cake

In the end of the two hour excitement, Kennedy really enjoyed herself on her day of celebration.

There are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.

I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
