Longhorn Cavern State Park




I love to scrap older pictures. I love going through the albums and finding older pics to scrap. When Ali and Boo were little we took them to Longhorn Cavern State Park. We went into the caverns and Ali loved it. She was not scared at all. It was really dark in some spots but she just loved it! I used the new Cosmo Cricket Mr. Campy line. I love these colors. Look how little Ali was! You can see her big banana curls under the hat. I miss those days! My babies are getting so old.
More hidden journaling. I hate my handwriting ! TFL!

LO's during the storms


Here are a few LO's I did during the storm. It is still raining and flooded so I didn't get very good pics of them. I have a few more LO's almost done. Would you believe we had another Tornado in the same spot as the first one. This one never touched down it just moved in the same path as the first one, but never touched down. I am not sure of the damage yet but on the news they showed some. Our neighbor lost his fence and there are trees everywhere. Glad to be ok! We were pretty scared for awhile. Anyway, off to finish my LO's.
I have some really great pics we took of Paris. We used to go there all the time. These are some of them. I turned alot of them Black and White. I have all our Europe pics in really nice albums but I have alot of Paris pics on Disc so I am going to start scrappin those.

Fay

Ok so for the 3 years I've been here we've managed to be Hurricane free. Well no more. I guess it's still a tropical storm, not a Hurricane, but it's crazy here! The kids have no school today because of it. We still have power, but the Northside has no power. Some Bridges are closed. I have never seen it so windy here. And rain, rain, rain!!!!!!!!! They say most damage is going to be flooding. Our pool is overflowing. The power did go out last night but not for very long. They said if it does go out, it will be a long time cause they will not put their workers at risk during the storm. I have water and batteries and I filled the tubs with water just in case. So we just wait for it to pass and hope it gets no worse. My MIL lives on the beach in St. Augustine. They are getting hit harder I think. Pray that everyting is ok! Well gotta go. The kids are restless all ready! Please pray that Fay goes away! HA! Thanks!

Back to School











Well it's that time again! I just was not ready this year! We had a great summer and I was enjoying the break! Now back to the craziness! Nicolas is in Pre-k this year. He ran to his class and didn't look back! He just jumped right in and started playing! He was so excited that the bathroom had a stop sign on it. So when you are in there you put the Stop sign on the door so nobody else can come in! HA! It doesn't take much to make him happy! My other kids were up early and just ready to go. Very excited!


Now me on the otherhand, I'm sad. For 10 1/2 years I have had kids at home. Even when I worked and they went to daycare or the nanny, I always was with them after work. Now I'm sitting here and the house is quiet (except for Princess snoring!). It is weird. I'm kinda sad. I think I'll start therapy now for when they all go off to college! Really, I didn't think I'd be this sad about it. Nicolas has been my buddy and now he's at school. Well at least it's only till 11:30. I am sure after a few weks I'll LOVE my free time! It just might take awhile to get used to.

LP layouts for Aug.


So this one has some hidden journaling. It's just real mushy about my daughter riding the wave of life and about always keeping her head held high and you'll end up on top of the wave and all that good stuff.








This last one I HATE so much but I posted it anyway. There's just too much going on. Not how I originally thought it would turn out. Oh well!

Lp had a great kit this month. Great for those summer pages!

Mini vacation


















So we went to St. Augustine 3 days in a row! The first day at the beach and the second and third going around to see all the sights. Our highlight was our nighttime tour of the lighthouse. We went during the day also. What an Awesome view!Very cool!!!! Mom got home ok and now I need to catch up on emails and everything else in life!

School starts next week! I just don't feel ready. Maybe I'm just sad my baby will go to pre-k. I am starting to think about it too much and getting real sad.
