Just hanging out

I've been quite this past week. We're all fighting off something, and we've been tried. Nothing too exciting going on... The kids start school next week. I'm hoping to take some pictures of M in all her school clothes this weekend, we'll see...

Britt has a new kit out today, it's called Fairchild. For this week only if you buy the kit you will automatically get this super cute brag book with your DL! I did one of the pages (the yellow with the hanging 3x frame), it was my first quick page, and it was fun. :)

This is such a cute kit! Here's what I did with it this week...

I'm planning on using it again for some back to school pages next week, but it matched M's outfit so well I had to use it for her last day too.

I took some pictures of the kids playing in Piz and Papa's (my parents) pool last weekend, but I have yet to edit them. I looked at them quickly when I loaded them onto the computer and it looks like I got some good ones. I will post some later. :)
Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

Ahh... A Nap

Not for me, but the next best thing... R finally got too tired to skip nap today and he's in a MUCH better mood now.

I got a LO done today too! I've been so tired and have had such a creative block all week, I felt like I couldn't get anything scrapped. I decided to do the scraplifting challenge over at SM, and I'm very happy with the page I did (and the fact that I actually finished a page and I like it!).

The kids went to the dentist yesterday and they both did great! No cavities or problems for either of them.

I forgot to post earlier, but M went upstairs at church last weekend for the first time. For some reason that seems like a big deal to me.

Not much else to report. Matthew's been in Redding, he's coming home tonight, but it sounds like he's going to have to go back again next week.
The kids start school in just over a week. eek!!

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.
