Lil' Girl Chipboard House

This is a cute little chipboard house that was so fun and easy to make. I filled it with a few picture of myself when I was a little girl. It was amazing to see how much my youngest daughter Adelyn looks like me at that age.

Adelyn's Birthday Banner

This is the banner I made for Adelyn's first birthday. I also made one that says Happy Birthday but it doesn't have the little things hanging from the bottom. I used the XL pendent die from sizzix. This was a really quick and fun project to make.

My Little Sweetheart - 52 Project

This was our first time going to the Mother & Son Sweetheart Dinner Dance. I had such a great time with my little man. There was a live band, which Loch thought was really cool. We danced pretty much the whole time. I hope this will be the first of many, sooooo special!!!!

My Birthday - 52 Project

I had a wonderful birthday with my family. These are the birthday cards that my two oldest made for me. Thanks guys for a great birthday.

My first Scrapbooking Expo - 52 Project

Last Sunday I went to my first Scrapbooking Expo. My husband watched the kids and it was wonderful. I wasn't on a schedule and was able to lose track of time for a while. These are the things I picked up with the exception of the Bind-it-all. I found some great deals. My wonderful Mom sent me some money for my birthday. I finally went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and picked up the bind-it-all. I'm so excited to use it!!!! Thanks Mom and Hubby!!!

My Starving Child!!! LOL

My daughter Claire will be three at the end of the month, but she has an appetite of a 16 year old boy. On this particular night she had three helpings at dinner. After dinner she saw some left over crackers on the counter and asked for them. I told her no she just had dinner and she was going to get a tummy ache. I went out of the room and when I came back in this is what I found. She had eaten right through the plastic wrap and ate half of the crackers. Luckily I was able to get the plastic wrap out of mouth. I mean OMG who does that? What a stinker!!!

Messy Night

We took the older two to messy night at Lochlan's school. The school puts this on once a year so the kids can do all kinds of messy things that you might not want to do in your house. (Shaving cream, painting, playdough, sand and water table, stamping, bingo daubers, bubble painting.) We had a great time!!

Hickory Dickory Dock!!

Lochlan had a Tea Party in his Kindergarten class. Each child had to stand up and recite a nursery rhyme and bring a prop. He did so well and he loved his prop b/c he could slide the mouse up and down the clock. Great job Loch!!!!

What a Trooper!!!

I tell you what this little five year old boy is braver than his mother. He didn't cry once, not when it happened and not at the ER. Hopefully this is the first and last of the broken bones.

First Broken Bones OUCH!!!

About three weeks ago we got a call from school that Lochlan had bent his fingers back in gym class. We brought him to the ER and it turned out that he broke his middle and ring finger on his right hand just below his middle nuckles. Apparently he bent them back really far. Of course we took a picture of his X-rays.

After School Snack

Even thought Claire doesn't go to school yet her big brother does. She is lovin' the after school snacks. On this particular day they had chocolate pudding snack packs. YUM YUM!!!!

Keepin' Warm

We roasted marshmallows and burned some color changing pine cones in the fire. Having fun and keepin' warm on a cold Winter day.

The 52 Project

Well if you've been following my blog you'll have noticed I haven't been posting my picture a day. I started out good but it doesn't seem like I can get them uploaded everyday. So I've decided that I going to change it to "The 52 Project) which will be once a week. Hopefully I'll be able to do that. I will be posting some of the pics that I've taken in the last few weeks. One good thing, it will make the album more manageable at the end of the year. I love having my own blog b/c if something isn't working out you can just change it. I not sure who said this but this is one of my favorite quotes "We might not have it altogether but together we have it all".
