The family teenagers have taken over Doozycards.  Here is my nephew Charlie Cooke and my son Otis at a production meeting.  My  nephew Robbie Cooke and my son, Cooper are at the same meeting.  My brother and I have eight boys between us.  None of boys are apparently NBA basketball players.  So I am sad to report none of them will be forking over homes and bling for Mama at twenty-one.   Sigh…  Not one to give up, I had brilliant brainstorm.  We will give the boys  what every young man needs: ecard making skills!
And the boys are learning so much. Settling arguments on how to dress the animals is why we had to install a boxing ring in the backyard.  The boys seemed very excited to learn you must go to the mat for important company decisions like – the fairy  WILL be fatter.
I’m  happy to report the boys are naturals in the world of ecards and may surpass our wisdom soon.  Apparently their endless hours of watching important Youtube content and playing internet games has paid off in spades.  The boys are naturals at making ecard games!  Their brainstorm, Find the Birthday Cake Game is a top seller.  What a relief, I can start spending their college funds on shoes immediately.  Friday night we wrapped up an Easter game and a Father’s Day game.  Stay tuned for pics of my new shoes and for new games by the teenagers!

I would love to have an in-house doggie Mariachi Band.  Every time the little boys tackle each other or the teen complains, I could say hit it!  And they would appear and enchant us all.     Living in Southern California, we hear a lot of Mariachi music.  Last weekend I rode my bike through McArthur Park near downtown Los Angeles and there was live Mariachi music in the park.  In fact my parents had mariachi music at their second wedding to each other (that’s a whole nother story!).  I think the best place to hear Mariachi music is on Olvera Street.  T his is a great place to take kids and out of town guests.  They sell something my kids absolutely love: eggs blown out and filled with confetti.  Boys apparently delight in smashing these on each others’ heads.  In the spirit of Marichi bands all over the world, we are proud to present: Our Mariachi Valentine Ecard.
