My Beautiful Girl

 

Tiger Lillies

It is the last days of my tiger lilies :( I look forward to them every year! I am so sad they are almost gone. I took the kids out in the yard today and took 165 pictures of them and the flowers even a picture of my van......I went a little picture crazy. Ethan who usually hates his picture taken was posing and everything. And we all had some silly moments. It was very fun!

2 more Scrap pages

These are 2008 pages I thought I would change it up a bit and do a 12x12 album (I usually do 8.5x11 books) chipboard numbers and candle stampset are more stuff from Tina (thanks again) blue paper is from creative memories, the rest is stamping up stuff. I have had a long afternoon.....I spent 3hrs pulling weeds for my sister....it was hot! But the kids had a blast swimming for 3hrs!!!

Just a few projects I've been working on

I havent really been in my scraproom much just a few minutes here and there (except tonite), but this is what I've been up to. The cards are for when we move... if we ever move! (the house buying thing is driving me NUTS@!) the little blue note card with the bird on it is what slips inside the address card.
The summer scrapbook page is actually Pacific Point, so saffron and tangerine tango, but the picture doesnt look it. Thanks to my fellow SU demo and friend I have some new toys to play with! Thank you thank you Tina! The alphabet set and saffron paper are courtesy of Tina. I also got twinkling H20 from tina and I have been having to much fun playing...my house is now a mess, but I'm a happy momma.

its just life.........

I have so many pictures of Micah when he was little sleeping in some of the wierdest places and positions. this is one of them and it kind of represents how I feel right now....exhausted.
Life has still been busy....some stuff just normal everyday busy things other things like my mom being in the hospital...not so normal and very stressful!!! She was realeased today and has regained a little bit of her eye sight, but has diabetes and is struggling to keep it under control because of the steriods they are giving her for her eyes.Please pray for my mom, that she regains all her eyes sight and that she can get control of her sugar. And pray for me and my sisters as we all have very busy lifes and problems of our own to deal with...

Aside from that I need to send out a BIG apology to "Grandpa William. In the midst of the chaos of life we forgot to send you out a father's day card.....I did make you one though, I just forgot to mail it. So, can you forgive us?
I know its late but we are going to send it out anyways....

say what?

 
The sun kept shinning in Ethan's eyes , but he wanted to sit by Aunt Ruthy so we made a make shift hat. He sat at the table twice as long as the other kids just stuffing his face! When we were done with the picnic and coming in the house He said "I really love these picnic" He is such a cute child.

4th of July picnic

We were all over the place today! Micah was in the parade with the boy scouts. then we had a picnic at mom's with swimming and plenty of calories burnt on the trampoline too. then we went to the fireworks up at the highschool. we got home at 10:20 and Anna spent the night so they are very tired today (Im gonna see if I can get the pictures off britt, I forgot my camera at the parade and fireworks)It was a nice July 4th....except the clean up that had to be done today....my house got trashed!

we went up to the house again this week too!

The house inspection was today, but we wont get the results until Monday. Then we need to get estimates for the siding and roof etc... we are getting there slowly but surely. Anticipation is building. It is going to be so much work! But it will be OURS! And that is so exciting!!!

The kids found a bottle cap on the dinning room floor and made a game of kicking it around.....they were bored after about 3 minutes

We had the punt pass and kick conestest this Sunday, the kids had fun. Maddi got her face painted and didnt want to wash it off!

Bailey quit guitar practice this week, I'm not to thrilled with this fact!

Bailey got lots or awards at the award ceremony this week. He got it for testing high in science, being in the quiz bowl, being a helper for the art teacher all year and for having honor roll all year! He did great and I am proud of him!
