We're back...

from our vacation...we survived the many hours in the car...today we only rode in the car for about 10 minutes and that was just to get Lyndie to take a nap! So I never should have started blogging because then I got this itch to start scrapbooking and well I really meant to be asleep by 10pm and now it's approaching midnight!

Happy 4th....

The past few weeks have just flown by. Here is a recap in words: visit from Grandma Aleen, blueberry picking, Malia's 4th Birthday, trips to the Butterfly exhibit at the museum, swimming, beach days, playing with new friends, vacation bible school, JUNE GLOOM - grey mornings followed by a bit of sunshine, popsicles, sick kids who like to sleep in mom and dad's bed, kids who are better and still want to sleep in mom and dad's bed, Little House on the Prairie marathons with dad, father's day, slip and slides and little pools, 4th of July kids parade....the list could go on, but now at least you see why we are non existint in the blogging world!

My HEROS

These are my HEROS for today! Baby Graham entered the world this morning at 4:50am in his own home, delivered by his Dad, while Papa Ron relayed the info that the 911 dispatcher was giving him. Some people plan to have their babies at home but my sister Keely was not one of them! He just came way too fast and the paramedics arrived about 5 minutes after he did. Luckily big sister Hannah slept through the whole ordeal and woke up when the paramedics arrived. Keely said this afternoon, "It all just feels like a movie!"

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.

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!
