No more naps

R didn't nap again today. I think that's it for naps from him. I guess I really shouldn't be complaining, I was going to have to drop his nap most days in a few weeks anyway when M starts school. She'll get out of school right in the middle of nap time 4 days a week. I'm just really tired and I wasn't ready for this yet! Hopefully he'll at least go to bed better soon!

I'm still exhausted and the kids gave me their cold. I'm spending most of my time laying on the couch watching the Olympics, I just hop online for a few minutes at a time to check my boards and blogs. I can't wait until I feel well enough to scrap again!!

Not Too Smooth Today

I'm so exhausted! The whole paci thing didn't go so well today. He was fine until nap time, and then he started whining and crying that he wanted a bobi. He was asking if we could go buy some after nap and just would not let it go. No nap today, and he was SO tired by 5. I got the kids dinner a little early and had R in bed before 7, but I don't think he went to sleep until almost 9. Matthew's working late, and I'm so tired of dealing with it. I know it's hard for him, but I feel like I'm getting a cold and I'm tired!! I sure hope this gets easier soon!!

"No bobi's left"

The paci's are gone, no thanks to me doing anything about it. R just came out after going potty for the 3rd time tonight to tell us that there are "no bobi's left." Yep, he dropped his last one in the potty, and it's happened enough that he knows they go in the garbage after that happens. He told us and then headed into bed without a fight. I wonder if he's in there sucking his thumb or fingers? I haven't checked yet. Seems like it was a little too easy. No bobi fairy, no trading them in for a toy, just let them all fall in the potty. LOL
*sigh* I think I might cry though. No more baby for me. :(


I finally got a LO scrapped for all the fun challenges going on at SM... this was for Britt's Scrap Olympics opening games...

Finally!!

The new Scrap Matters is finally up and running (isn't it CUTE?!? Britt made all the decorations for it!). Now I can share with you all what I've been doing all week. :)
Okay... this is going to be long!!

Britt has a TON of new stuff this week, and it's all so much fun!
First up, Toy Sherrif , and what I did with it...

And what would a Woody kit be without a Buzz kit to go with it? Space Ranger... (and Britt has these two kits bundled together for a great deal! You've Got A Friend In Me Combo)

(yes, I did a photo shoot with R just so I would have perfect pictures to scrap with this kit! LOL ...we did already have the Buzz costume though)

Here's a super cute (and easy to use!) mini kit called Gretchen (Template is a cookie from SweetShop)

This one was for the speed scrap tonight, but I used a lot of stuff from Gretchen again...

I was SO, SO, SO excited when I saw what was in Britt's Grab Bag (if you don't want to know what's in the bag scroll down past these next two LOs).

I used it for this LO

and for my August desktop


I also did this one using mostly Mermaid Lagoon (such a FUN kit!!), but that little black bead alpha is new today, so I was waiting to post it.

Isn't that stuff great?!? I'm having so much fun being on Britt's CT!


For everyone who's not into digi scrapbooking, I'm sorry for the long post! I'll leave you with a silly picture I snapped of R last night... Goofball!

8 Years

Today is our 8 year anniversary. Some years we get to our anniversary and say something like "I can't believe it's been that long already!" This year it seems like we've been saying "it will be 8 years this summer" for so long that 8 years doesn't seem new today. Not that we're not excited to reach another year, it just feels like it's already been 8 years.
Anyway... I thought it would be fun to post a few pictures of us from way back when. These are scans that I'm pulling off of shutterfly, so they're not the greatest quality, but they're still fun to look at.

This was Homecoming our Senior year, we had just started dating less than a week before this picture was taken.

Our wedding day


I think this one is from a few months before our 1 year anniversary. It was taken at the Opryland Hotel in Tennessee when we went to visit my grandparents.

Gosh we were young! lol

We already did our big weekend when we went to Alan Jackson and the Giants. Usually we do a Giants game later in August or September to celebrate, but we probably won't be going back down this year. Tonight we'll go to dinner and a movie.

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...
