HELLO AGAIN

LONG TIME AWAY!!! It happens, it is called life, right. Unexpected trips and busy schedules resulting in no blogging......but hey, here we are again. Today was a good day, have friends in town and went to the Kern County Museum; they have a childrens museum inside, the kids LOVE. Here are a few of my firefighters and their friend...and then Matthew with his so big but cute hat on. It has been soooooo nice lately, before all the rain came in, and here is a fun pic of Matthew on the grass...soaking up the sun.

A few missed layouts

Not to overwhelm you all at once here are just some of the layouts I have done....which is still a lot...sorry :)

Good Weekend

Silly Grandpa

Easter Bunnies

Uncle Blaine and me

We have been busy this weekend, unexpected trips and lots of relaxing. Really fun. Tommorow I will have to catch up and post all of my scrap pages....until then, enjoy these funny pictures I am getting ready to send to Costco....they are from last Easter at our annual flashlight egg hunt and grandma's house.

Goodnight!

I will post more tommorow, it is after 11 and I still have a kid on my lap, who woke up screaming. So we are going night, night.....sweet dreams. (Funny pic of him the other night after he threw up all over his bed...looks so comfy in my bed don't you think.)

Layout Day 9

through MY eyes.....love this picture. This was this last summer, and dad got to go with us to the zoo, which made for a lot more pictures than usual. I love how intrigued he is by the bear. He stared at that bear for quite a while, in his daddys arms of course.

A better day today, Alleeda is feeling better, not great but better. The regrigerator decided to leak water all over everywhere inside...drips down from the freezer..not good....however, it is really clean right now...and the car wouldn't start this afternoon. Of course it appears to be fine after dad got home and jumped it once. Isn't that the way it is. I think a light got left on last night in the third row, it is the favorite new toy for my daughter, since she is getting so big, and can reach it in the booster seat, in the back where mom can't reach her. Made some homeade beans, rice and enchilladas for dinner. It was YUMMY! Time for dessert now. Have a great night.

Here is a funny video of Daniel singing his "What do you do with a stormy pirate, let them walk the plank"...to funny...ARGH. Scroll down and cilck play :)

Day 8 Layout

I made a goal last year not to develop anymore pictures...digital...unless I have scraped the ones I have...of the kids. I am almost there! What an accomplishment. I do still have a stack of untouched digital prints from this summer I am dying to dive into...but now that there I see the light, I can wait a little longer.

With still a pretty sick kid today, I had to use a swap layout, I actually just finished the other side..and I love it, too cute, but for the contest, this is what was posted...thanks Sue for the great design. I have a stack of swaps from all year, that I haven't touched. They make awesome emergency pages. When you look at the clock, again holding the same crying child, and realize you really only have 8 minutes to pull something together, swaps are awesome...and dads who can magically console and put her to sleep within minutes, after mom has tried for over an hour.

The boys went out today, with hats and sweaters...dressed themselves....and drew roads all over the patio with sidewalk chalk, then they came in and got their cars, that were lined up in a long row by the couch, and spent a good amount of time racing their cars around the track. So much fun watching them learn, grow and use their immaginations. Just fun to sit and watch them think.

Sick Kids/ Layout Day 7

Barely got the layout in on time tonight. Busy mom with sick kids, I was holding one and looked at the clock; thank goodness for swaps. Thankyou for the page creation Mariana, the colors don't look so hot with my camera tonight, but the pics beuatifully match the color scheme of the layout. Just add some mats, ribbon and pics, and presto...instant layout. If I have time to post a better pic tommorow I will, but for now, here is my layout for the day. In Vegas, on our way home from Utah....Cousins helping each other out. Too Cute.
