- Granddad and Nana on May 15, 2024
It was fun to see that you learned this in art class and made a bunch at home, too. Is yellow your new favorite color? This reminds me that daffodils will be blossoming in a little over a month.
- Granddad&nana on February 28, 2024
Mikaya, this realistic and whimsical fox makes us smile. Reading about the techniques you used for fox, sweater and background helped us see the details you used to make this a work of art. Favorite part? His shiny black nose and eyes with the white added added makes them realistic and a bit like a stuffed animal a child would like to receive. Well done!
- Granddad&nana on February 14, 2024
Wow, so good Mikaya. I smile every time I see your work. Love the colors and details. I love to read your words about the art process. Love you girl.

Mikaya This is so pretty. Where will you display it? Can't wait to see it in person.

Love this Mikaya. Colors, your words and artwork. So nice.
- Grandma on September 29, 2021
This is fun, too! It looks like a Christmas cat? Is that a candycane and Christmas baubbles?
- Aunt Carrie on September 29, 2021
This is super fun... love the colours and textures! It should be on the netflix series we are watching... "Colourful world of nature!"

Wow, I love the colors and the details. I love the red too. It pops and comes to life. Great job.
- Grandma on November 25, 2020
Grandma sees lines everyday. The music staff have 5 lines. As you learn more about music the lines help us to read music.
- Grandma on November 14, 2020
What Mikaya, I love these bright colors. Beautiful artwork.
- Grandma and PaPa on November 14, 2020
Wow! There is a lot of detail in this art, Mikaya. We want to ride bikes with you, again.
- Granddad&Nana on October 18, 2020
I agree that a butterfly is one of the neatest things God created. They float so free and they love flowers.
- Granddad on October 18, 2020
Mikaya, did you know that the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. It looks like you have been to the mountains. :)
- Granddad on October 18, 2020
Granddad loves lines since they are a big part of math -- especially geometry. When I first used a sewing machine, my mother had me practice sewing on lined notebook paper.

- Granddad and Nana on October 7, 2020
Granddad loves your favorite color. It happens to be his favorite color, too. Scissors are a fun way to create. Nana likes to use fancy scissors.
- Granddad and Nana on October 7, 2020
Good work Mikaya. I see the project is based on a book. If you still have the book. We would love to hear you read it to us.
- Grandma and PaPa on September 30, 2020
Another great piece full of creativity Kaya. Enjoy first grade! It was one of my favorite years in school!
- Carrie on September 30, 2020
Sparkles...we love it.
- Grandma and PaPa on September 30, 2020

- Granddad&nana on September 30, 2020
Happy first grade Kaya! Love the self portrait - especially the missing tooth! Have a terrific year.
- Aunt Carrie, Uncle Thomas, Theo & Rara on September 7, 2020
We love how you showed the gap in your teeth, Mikaya. That gap is a precious part of you right now.
- Granddad and Nana on September 7, 2020
First grade. Exciting. I love your little work area in your room. PaPa and I will look forward to your artwork this year. Good job sweetie.
- Grandma and PaPa on September 7, 2020
Yay! Love the map... can't wait to visit you again as soon as it's safe and airplanes are flying. How exciting to watch your new school be built over the summer!
- Carrie on June 3, 2020
Who knew you could make a unicorn in so many pretty colors and textures? Fun to see, Mikaya.

Theo & Ci (who really likes unicorns and pink) say AWESOME!
- Carrie on June 3, 2020
Wow...??...this is so pretty. Great work.
- Brenda on May 14, 2020
How fun. I’m sure glad you love art and creating projects with your hands. Having all boys paper airplanes were a thing. Remember the hot air balloons we made at the museum? That was fun, too. Grandma
- Brenda on May 14, 2020
We love this. The students in our area had the same art project. It’s fun to see how unique they all are. You did a great job. PaPa and Grandma.
- Brenda on May 14, 2020
So pretty. Will you teach us? Maybe we need to get a book on origami?
- Granddad&nana on May 14, 2020
Great! Looks like the sun to me with the rays going in all directions. May I send it in to CBS Sunday Morning for their program? They feature many artists' creations of different suns.
- Granddad on April 29, 2020
Mikaya, I love all of your artwork. But this may be my favorite. We had a beautiful calendar one year of Monet's most famous works, and the Water Lilies was my favorite. Keep up the great work, artist!
- Nana on April 29, 2020
Hmm. We think this artist has had a close encounter with a koala in a great Australian Zoo.
- Granddad&Nana on April 29, 2020
Ci says, what a great pink (purple) creation!
- Branderzwaags on April 29, 2020
What a great tree drawing Kaya... looks just like the eucalyptus that the koalas love down under. Theo can't wait for you to come to NZ again sometime and show you more cool southern hemisphere animals!
- Branderzwaags on April 29, 2020
Oh, what a nice drawing. Love the Koala addition. Wonderful memory of Australia vacation. Love your creativity Mikaya.
- PaPa and Grandma on April 29, 2020
I loved reading Kaya’s comments the best. Made me smile.

- Granddad and Nana on April 17, 2020
Now this is fun. Love the purple and all of the creativity that went into this art project. Looks like this one was made at home on your kitchen table?
- Granddad and Nana on April 17, 2020
Mikaya says she just picked a name.
- Amy (Mother) on April 11, 2020
LEGO creation. So creative and fun. Your dad loved Lego’s. After he put together a project we would leave it up for awhile. Finally, we began to take pictures for a memory. ????
- PaPa and Grandma on April 11, 2020
Hey Kaya, We always like to see your Lego creations. This is a fun one. Granddad thinks that duck enjoys using your waterslide!
- Granddad&nana on April 8, 2020
Did you do this the day we left Colorado and your mom brought us to the airport. So glad you didn't miss this class. It is so cute.
- Granddad and Nana on March 25, 2020
What vivid colours. I wonder what the bird is thinking? Another great piece.
- Carrie on March 18, 2020

Pretty necklace, Mikaya. With the one you made on Valentine's Day, you are a jewelry artist.
- Granddad&nana on February 19, 2020
Kaya! This is Cierra and my favourite one yet! (She loves owls). You are a really talented artist. Ka pai (well-done.) . Love the colours and texture!
