What I'm up to

So I have been creating a little minibook for myself. I work on a couple pages a night. These are just a peek at the bases of the pages. No embellishments yet.

Been busy cleaning out closets. The kids have been growing too fast! I have to get those old clothes out and put some new ones in.

Mom is coming down and we are going to take her on a few day trips. That should be fun. The kids are excited. They are counting the days till she gets here! Have I ever told you how lucky we are to have such great Mom's!!!!!!! My MIL and my Mom are the best Grandma's ever. My kids love them so much and just love spending time with them. Isabelle just went to Grandma Wanda's for a whole week. The pool, the beach, shopping.....what more could a girl want???? Anyway, can't wait till Mom gets here. It is always fun!

Off to do more closets! Have a great day!

I want to go to this concert really bad!!!!!

Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd Announce Tour Together!!!!!!

And I want to go here to see them!

Toronto, Ontario, Canada!!!!!!!

Get Busy Bird!

Have you seen this?

First go down and pause my music and watch this video! Ohh I cried like a baby! I have held lions and tigers. Steve's step sister has a place in Co. where she rescues them. They are such beautiful animals!

A LO and a snake!

So here is just a little LO I did about my first house I lived in that I still call home. The journalling is actually 2 pages. I spent all day yesterday writing about the house and all my memories there. It was like 16 some pages so I couldn't fit it all in. I'll just put the other pages I wrote in the album behind this page or if I get some old pics from mom of me in the house I can use more of it. I just cried all day yesterday writing this! So many memories. All good ones. I do not have one bad memory of this part of my life. It was my favorite place in the world. Not to mention it was before we all moved all over the U.S. and we all spent every holiday together and we could see our cousins and family when ever we wanted to! Oh well.....life moves forward. It's fun to look back and remember the good times though!
Now on to the snake! So this time there was a snake sitting right next to me and I didn't know it! Ugh!!!!!!!! So my wonderful gaurd dog Princess starts barking at it and I turn my head and look and there it is just curled up moving his head all around. Now he was only about 4 foot and very calm, not like that 7 footer we had a couple years ago. That thing went up and started snapping at us. This one was just sitting there. My DH was working from home that day cause the Air guy was comming to fix the air.(That's another story) anyway he came out and beat it over the head and threw it over the fence. Now we wouldn't have killed it but like I said that snake a couple years ago was CRAZY, so he didn't want to take any chances. We leave our porch door open for the dog, otherwise I would shut the door and they'd stay out. At least it wasn't an alligator! Ha!

Our air had a leak in the freon, our house is 5 years old. So guess what? The warranty expired 17 days ago!!!!!! So $1000 later it's fixed! What luck huh? Anyway, It was 105 here on Monday so you have to have air.

Been swimming a little (lots of rain here) and playing Rock Band for the Wii. Isabelle and Boo are great at it! They crack me up! I just love watching them play it!

Oh I took Nicolas for his pre-k and 4yr. old check-up. He did so good. They gave hime 4 shots. 1 at a time! All my other kiddos had 2 nurses giving 2 at a time. But this lady was good and quick. By the time he realized what was going on, she was done. Now he did cry, and fuss a little but not loads of drama like my other kids. So now it's off to school for a few hours a day. Not much summer left!


I got this great new paper from Webster's pages. It is very vintage and pretty. I am going to do some pages of my Grandma. I am also working on a page about Steve and I. It has these cute people on it. Hope it turns out.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer! I am!

July LP LO's

So these were some of my Fav kits this month. The featured was just packed with goodness! Lots and lots of stuff. The alternate was also packed full and I just fell in love with the papers. I designed with the featured kit, but actually used the alt. kit first to make a LO of my DD and Niece at our Family reunion. Lots and lots of fun this month!

I'm back.......but tired

So we are back from the big Family Reunion. We had a great time we are just sooooo tired! It was so good to see some family that I had not seen in years! It just made me realize how much I miss them and wish we could get together more often. Now it's back to life. Dance team practices and the dentist and blah blah blah! Ughh...........mundane life! I don't even feel like back to school shopping! What's wrong with me? I have all this great new scrap stuff and don't even want to touch it. Sometimes I think it's all pointless and nobody will ever look at it so I wonder why I even waste my time. Maybe out of the four kids, one will enjoy them. I hope! Anyway, the pool looks nasty. We didn't run the filter while we were gone so everything settled to the bottom. I need to vacuum the bottom out.
We took Princess to a kennel for the first time. She seemed to do ok and they used to raise and show labs, so they loved her. She was soooooo happy to see us. It was like leaving one of the kids somewhere for the first time. The whole way to Virginia I kept telling my DH that we should have just brought her with us. I was so sad leaving her. But now I'm glad we did. She was fine and it was nice to not have to worry about her up there. She runs away and my poor DH has to go find her. This time no worries! Well I got to go do Ali's hair for dance. Hope everyone had a nice Holiday weekend!!
