This week in photos!

Awesome scrapbooking kits...for FREE

I can't wait to start scrapping again, btw I got my winkflash book the other day...it is so much fun to look through and relive the memories of last year. I've got to get started on the second half of the year so I will be ready for the next sale.

But I found these really cute kits...it's part of a contest that the Digiscrappaddicts are having.
Here is the site http://digiscrapaddicts.com/
you need to create a log in and then scroll down to the bottom of the PRODUCTS category, that is where you will find the free kits, they are listed under the title SYTYCD, which stands for So You Think You Can Design, you will find 5 different weeks with all sorts of kits in them.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

All scrapped out...

you would think with the amount of time I spent on scrapbooking the last two weeks I would hate it! But I am in love with it again! I worked really hard the last two weeks to get a scrapbook finished for a special deal and I now I just want to keep going. I can't wait for my new book to come. We went swimming today here is a page I just did. Aren't they cture?

A rite of passage....

as much as I try to keep my kids from growing up it's happening. Yesterday Lainey woke up and was complaining about a tooth hurting, I couldn't see anything when I looked at it but when I touched it I realized it was loose! She was so excited and wanted to call everyone at 7am to tell them. All day long she wiggled it, and about every 15 minutes I had to check it to see how much looser it was. This morning she was brushing her teeth extra good when I heard a blood curtling scream....and when I got in the bathroom, lo and behold there was the TOOTH! She was a bit traumtized by the blood but once we got it stopped she was thrilled, and everyone she has seen today has heard that she lost her tooth. Even Lyndie has taken to telling people that, "Lainey's mouth fall out." For some reason her losing her tooth has made me realize how BIG and GROWN-UP she is getting!

such a sweet deal!

This is from a friend's website....A sweet deal if you have a restaurant you want to go to. Remember, there are terms & conditions. On the restaurant.com website, you'll be asked to enter your zip code and it will pull up participating restaurants in your area. Then you will see a list of restaurants and gift card prices. A $25 gift card is regularly priced at $10 (so 80% off means you'll pay only $2). The only catch is there is a minimum purchase amount, clearly listed under the gift card prices. Usually the customer must have a total initial bill of $35. Then you pay with your $25 gift card and your total could be as low as $10 plus gratuity for a $35 meal. Once you pay for your gift card you may print it immediately from your computer! They don't expire for a whole year.

We found two of our favorite restaurants on here.

Look at her swim...

So Malia has been taking swimming lessons for the last few weeks, when she went to the first class the teacher kind of questioned me about whether she should be in the class but I used my motherly instinct which told me she could do it and now she is just off and swimming. Today in class her teacher actually had her demonstrate for the rest of the class and then she told me that she is going to be a really strong swimmer! We are so proud of her. Her swimming has also kicked Lainey into gear she doesn't want to be outdone by her little sister and now will actually let go of us in the pool and attempt to put her face in.

A bit behind...

with everthing that happened last month, i haven't had much time for blogging or scrapping, but since my kids are all asleep already....yes it is only 5:24pm, but they were up at 5:30am, i have a few minutes on my hands.

so what have we been up to? weddings, my relay race, daddy daughter campout, mom's weekend to vegas with her sisters and parents for another wedding, trips to the pool...yes we are already swimming here, swimming lessons - Malia has just taken off in the pool and when Lainey realized her sister could swim under the water...i think it made her a little mad and jealous and she is finally trying to swim on her own, ballet lessons, trips to a little local aquarium, school performances, easter and egg hunts, hosted a bridal shower...you have to do something like this at least every few months so your house gets a good cleaning, and the biggest news of all Lyndie is now pacifier free! Thank you Daddy for your willingness to just take it away while I was away at my race! She is still getting use to the going to sleep without it but she hasn't had one for two weeks. When I came home from my race she said that Daddy put it in the garbage and she wanted me to get it out for her so I told her that the garbage man already took the garbage away so if you see my daughter scowling at the garbage truck, you'll know why! But hey we get to go to Disneyland next week...that was the deal! More to come later, I want to scrap while my kids are asleep.
