Back to school

So they went back. It's always a little sad a little happy. It makes my heart ache to know I only have one more year till they are all in school.
I'm really dreading next year!

This was the first year for C and C that they totally seemed at ease with all of it. They are growing too, too fast. I don't even know what to say
but it makes me so sad but also so excited for what the future holds for them!

A couple more from today

Don't forget to give me some c.c. Y'all! :D

Birthday Pics and Hellmart

So today is the big b-day. You know like the 5th anniversary of my 31st birthday. Real fun! :D When I told the kids the way to make me happy today would be to let me take their pictures they were moaning and groaning. But they wanted to go to Walmart (URGH) to finish supply shopping for school. So we struck a bargain. Cooperative portraits=Walmart. Good deal right?

They were VERY cooperative except poor Cole's eyes were swelling and he was sneezing his head off by the time we were done! I am really happy with my pictures especially considering I'm still getting to know my camera! Let me know what you think and I'd love some creative critism too!

Bad blogger BAD blogger and my new baby

Blogger kicked me off or something but here's the rest of the album.


OH LOOK! I got a new baby. I'm in love with her, she's so gorgeous! Shhhhhh, she doesn't know she's not a drebel so don't tell her! But she is a S3 IS and I can't wait to take the kids pics with her.

Flower book

Here's a preview of my next class. Well, we know circles are still hot so here's a circular little mini book with the journalling in a circle too! I used the K-ology line, gosh it's pretty! Nice paper and great designs too! September 5th at Scrap-Masters if you are interested!

The hubby started back to school today. EWWWW, I've got mixed feelings about it, nice to get back into a routine but all those work clothes....yuck!

The kids start on Monday. Again I like the routine but I'm sure that
the "sucker for punishment" side of me will miss 'em!

Gosh...

Cole know's how to give me a heart attack for sure! Yesterday, he and Callie went to the pool with my friend Lisa and her kids. When he walked in the door at the end of the day he looked like he had on a red mask around his eyes. He thought he'd wear David's goggles swimming. Apparently they were not latex free and he KNOWS better but thought they'd be fine! So now 18 hours later and a bunch of benedryl and he looks fine but gosh! Swear, he's going to be the death of me! :D
 

126 SHARK TEETH

I'm back from Surf City on Topsail Island, N.C. We had a WONDERFUL time and the weather was gorgeous. It was so nice to spend time with my entire family. I've been busy, BUSY since I've gotten back. I started a new job the day we got back and I've been working on some scrapbook deadlines.

This first picture is of my neice Kady and my daughter Callie looking for shark teeth. The entire beach is not gravely like this, just here and there but that was the best place to find the teeth. Gosh if 2 of us found so many teeth, how many sharks are there?!!

My nephew Marty has two broken ankles but was able to get waterproof casts and had so much fun doing "normal" things. He spent a lot of time in the boat but thankfully was able to "swim" too!

Finally, a picture of SWEET baby Grace. It's blurry cause I had a fingerprint on my lense but cute nonetheless!

Beach bound AGAIN!

Off to the beach again! Going to Top Sail Island N.C. with the whole family. Can't wait to see my sister and baby GRACE! See ya when we get back!
