To Infinity And Beyond...

Today I decided to take a couple (60) pictures of R in this Buzz costume we found on clearence after Halloween last year. Here's one of my favorites, he's such a little nut. More to come...

I ordered some fun little business cards a couple weeks ago and they came yesterday. They're cute! One side is just a picture, and the other has my info on it. I love that I could order more than one different picture too, so they're not all the same. The only problem is now I don't want to give them away. lol
Aren't they cute?!?

I've been scrapping a ton for my CTs, but nothing new to post yet. Friday is the big re-opening at ScrapMatters, so I will post everything I've done after that. There are some great things coming out Friday! :D

Just a quick little post for today, not a ton to report.

Finally!

Some pictures! :)

One from the Alan Jackson concert. For those who have never been to a concert at Konocti, it's so pretty there! The stage is set up with the lake right behind it, just a nice view!

On Wednesday it was actually sunny here (opposed to the fog we've been having too much of), so my mom and I took the kids to the beach for a little bit...

I had forgotten how fine the sand is here. It was windy there, and we all had sand everywhere!

I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep this camera. I'm kind of leaning towards not... I don't expect it to be as good as my SLR, but I'm just not liking it as much as I thought I would. It's smaller, and has more MPs than my old P&S, but I really can't see much of a difference. I'm thinking I may return it and go ahead and spend the extra on the P&S that I really wanted. Now let's just see if I can talk Matthew into that... lol

I've been working on a bunch of fun LOs for my CTs this week, but I don't have much to show you as most of what I've done is for kits that won't be out until the 8th. ScrapMatters is having a huge reopening party (and sale) that starts that day, so be sure to stop by and check out all the fun and great new kits!!

Here are a few I can show you though...
A re-scrap of one I did way before I had a clue what I was doing. lol I'm about to get my 2007 book printed, so I'm going through and re-scrapping a few of the pages really fast before I do.

And I did this one for the speed scrap on Tuesday night. I hadn't made a speed scrap in weeks, so I was super excited to do this one!

I think I had something else to post, but I cannot remember what it is now. lol Oh well...

I'm watching the Giants game, it's the bottom of the 10th, we actually got the lead this inning, and now Wilson is making sure to give us an adrenalin filled finish. Oy...

Oh yeah... BLUEBERRIES!! We have two blueberry bushes out front that we've really been enjoying. The kids and I will go pick them every few days, but today Matthew helped us, and we have a TON! I think I better find something to make with some of them, we're never going to eat them all before they go bad. Anyone have anything fun to make with blueberries becides the standard muffins or pancakes?

Woohoo, double play and we win! It's always dramatic when Wilson is pitching.

Okay, off to bed now...

Paci...

R is 3 years old has still has his "bobi" (not sure where he came up with that name, but that's what he's called his paci since he could talk). He just gets it for sleeping, and we've been reluctant to take it away because of all the moving and big changes he's been going through (we felt it was more important to get him potty trained than to get him off the bobi first).
I've been talking to him about how he's a big boy now and pretty soon he won't have his bobi anymore. He knows it will make his teeth look funny (which he of course thinks is funny) too.
I was talking to him about it again this morning as he cuddled in bed with me holding my hair and sucking away contently, and I realized it makes me sad to think about getting rid of it. For one, he's my baby, and without that bobi there's really no "baby" left. Two, he's such a good sleeper, I worry that if I take it away he won't sleep as well. And three, I will miss it.
I've taken pictures of him with it (and scrapped them), but the thought of no more bobi still makes me sad. I know I need to get over it and just do it one way or another (any ideas on how?!?). *sigh*


(I haven't forgotten about pictures... I'll get some up soon!)

My Exciting News

My favorite designer, Britt-ish Designs, had a CT call a few weeks back that I applied for, and just found out the other night that I got on!! Her stuff is awesome, and so easy to scrap with, I use it all the time as it is, so I'm super excited to be part of her team.

Sorry to leave you all wondering! It wasn't being announced until today, so I couldn't say much before then. No baby, no house news (yet...), just scrap stuff.

I promise to be back later with LOs and pictures. We just got back from the beach and my kids are hungry, so I have to make this short.

We're back

Sorry, no pictures tonight (because I'm being lazy), but I did take a few that I will post later. The verdict is still out on whether I will keep my new camera or not (did I mention I got a new camera?) It's a p&s, nothing super exciting, but I've been wanting something that works a little better than my old one for things I don't want to bring the "big" camera to.

Anyway... We had a great time on our weekend away! Alan Jackson was so much fun to see, and the Giants game was great (up until the 8th inning anyway... *groan*). Like I said, we got cheap tickets in the bleachers, and while I think that would be a perfect place to sit with the kids, we won't be going back there on our kid-free trips. I think the best part about center field bleachers was that I got to watch Aaron Rowand from behind all night. lol It was pretty hard to see the pitcher and batter from there though. We also squeezed in a little shopping, which always makes me happy. :)

I got some SUPER exciting news tonight! ...but I can't tell you yet. You'll have to check back later in the week to find out what it is. :)

Well, the Giants just beat the Dodgers, I better head to bed... I'll try to get some pictures and new LOs posted tomorrow.

So Excited!!

Matthew's been in Redding for the last two days, and he just called and told me to get Giants tickets for Saturday night. We're going down tomorrow to see Alan Jackson, and he said sense we're going to be down there anyway we might as well go. I'm so stinking excited! Just the two of us all weekend, Alan Jackson, AND Tim Lincecum is pitching Saturday night. I just bought bleacher seats, they were $11 off because that's how many strikeouts Timmy got in his last game, figured we better go with cheap tickets sense we're going to be doing two nights in hotels and gas, food...
Anyway, that's where I'll be this weekend, woohoo!! :)

I'm on a roll!

I've gotten so much done now that I have my internet back. I found and booked a hotel for us yesterday, ordered new business cards last night, signed up for a new photo lab I've been wanting to try, made dentist appointments for the kids, and made a doctors appointment for me. We're going to go play tennis with our neighbors in a few minutes and then I need to find someone to come remove the hornets nest that's on the house. I talked to the relater who's listing this house thinking she would want to have it done, but it doesn't sound like she's going to take care of it, so I guess I will. I also need to find a place to sign M up for dance classes. If anyone local knows of a good place please let me know!
I know a lot of that could be done without internet, but gosh, it's so much easier to use google than it is to pull out a phone book. lol!
