been creative lately

i love this picture of jameson.. she had her new sunglasses and wanted a picture taken with them on.. this is also a challenge i did with ONE LITTLE WORD BLOG.. The word is MY.. so thought this was a great title for my little girl...
this is cole and jameson fishing a couple of weeks ago.. david took this picture and i loved it so much.. had to get the one hour photo on this so i could do this layout.. jameson had dropped her fishing pole in the water and david never found it so i am thinking she sat with cole while he fished..

i do have more of these pond pictures i will post sometime soon.. this weekend is going to be crazy and i am not going to have time to post them maybe on monday i can..

some recent layouts

The first one is of cole at sandys pool last year.. i hand sewn all of it on the page.. took me a long time but well worth it.. this is one of my favs..

The second is of my grandma thomas.. this one i have been wanting to do for a while. and these are the only pictures i have with my grandma and cole..

The third is my pregnancy journal.. with every pregnancy i have a journal.. it is a way to keep track of the progress and i love to go back and read things that happened because we all quickly forget the past..


The fourth is pinwheels.. i have been loving this picture of cole for so long and finally figured out what i wanted to do.. the little triangles are photo corners that i put together..

so this is what i have been up to lately.. trying to stay cool and getting things done with the kids and my scrapbook pages.. gotta get as much as i can do now before the baby gets here and then i really won't have time for scrapbooking.. and i will be doing more on the new baby than the kids so.. i am really trying to get coles baby pictures done.. it seems like i don't have enough of him when he was little so doing what i can find and what i have.. so if you do have any please let me borrow them so i can scan them and scrapbook them..

Pictures from the beach

Took some pictures at the beach sunday.. we went to the beach and spent some time with dad.. had a great time.. jameson picked up a baby hammerhead shark.. it was dead and had gotten in a cove (?) and could not get back into the ocean.. jameson picked it up and was amazed by it. i got my feet burned and i was under and umbrella most of the time.

12 weeks today.. getting past the 1st trimester is relieving for me.. the second trimester is not so bad.. and my belly is a bump now. well a little one.. i haven't gain to much weight yet.. going to the dr on the 28th.. can't wait to hear the heart beat..

later everyone..

it rained this weekend!!

Saturday we went to savannah to pick up our prepared meals from http://www.mysupperstudio.com/Default.aspx supper studio.. got some really good meals..
we had our first meal saturday night.. really good stuff.. it rained on us the whole time we were in savannah.. we wanted to look at some cars but it rained so hard we just could not look inside or anything.. we would get soaked just to go out and look at one for a minute or two.. so not good.. so we came home and the kids and david played outside in the rain.. i got some really good pictures of them throwing mud and jameson in her underware playing in the rain.. really cute

I am feeling better.. i got some different medicine that doesn't make me sit inside and not go out in the sun either.. richard and lillian have a pool and i haven't been able to go swimming because of the meds i was taking.. got those changed but i haven't had to take it because i really don't have it much.. i did have some cramps and some sickness sunday.. not sure why.. but i feel good today so that is a good thing.. just taking it day by day with the morning sickness..

By the way if you aren't watching Soprano then what are you watching?? oh my goodness i was shocked last night..i can't wait till next sunday when the finale of this show and that is it..i am a little sad.. well very sad.. on memorial day i was not feeling well and i watched sopranos all day long till i went to sleep monday night watching reruns of this show on A&E.. i love this show. not as much as LOST but it is my second place.. it is one of the best shows ever on TV..

here are some pics

sorry not posting in a while

I have had morning sickness all day for a couple of weeks.. i am hoping it is gone. it does look like david has it now too.. pretty funny to me.. we went and got a ultrasound and it was an okay pic but not really nothing but fuzz..

school is out now and jameson isn't going to daycare anymore.. i am really looking forward to spending some time with cole and jameson and hopefully feeling well enough to accomplish some things during the summer.. i am going to work on the days david is off so still working a little..

i have done a few layouts but nothing to show.. i just haven't had the mojo to do anything buy lay down from being nauseous all the time..so hoping i can get somethings done with some photos.. and start a pregnancy one also..

hope everyone has a great memorial day.. i would love to go to the beach but i just can't with the meds i am taking so waiting till that gets out of my system to get out in the sun..

surprise i'm pregnant...

yeah i was surprised friday when i found out.. went to the dr about my hands and he drew some blood wenesday and friday i had my appointment.. so i asked him did you do a test to see if i was pregnant.. he said no but we can if you like.. well i was going to have to have xrays so i thought i might be a good idea.. plus i was having the signs of being pregnant.. so they didn't have one at the office so i went to walmart to tell david what was going on and that i might be pregnant he was like okay just let me know.. so i went home toke the test and it said i was pregnant.. called david and told him.. he was happy and i was shocked.. had to sit and take it all in. that we were going to be a larger family..

so i am tired and i am nauseas most of the morning and daytime.. more tired in the daytime.. i have been napping as much as i can.. and i am not working as much because of my hands.. hoping my obgyn will let me go to the chiroprator for my neck.. the doctor said i had something to do with a disk so i gotta get the okay from my obgyn first...

so saturday is national scrapbook day and i am really excited to be there all day. so looking forward to that too..

it is smoky here!!!!!

the fires are still burning in waycross.. and right now we are getting some smoke from somewhere.. i thought it was at my in laws house went down there to check and there is nothing burning there.. thank goodness.. i get a little worried being around all these fields that they could catch on fire real easy right now since it is so dry here.. we need some rain really bad here..

went today to get some blood work done and going to see the dr friday.. my hands have been giving me some trouble for a while now.. getting real worried.. i just don't have the strength in them anymore.. it is getting to the point where i can't pick the coffee pot up.. and that means i have to get something done about this.. i can't hardly get jameson out of her carseat sometimes.. i just don't have the grasp to push things and hold things.. when i went and got my blood drawn the nurse knew i was nervous and yeah i was.. it takes nurses forever to get my blood.. they have a hard time finding my veins.. and usually they have to take it out from on top of my hand and that really hurts so i was praying they would not have to do that today.. so had a great nurse that got some blood from my arm.. thank goodnes..

so here are my latest layouts.. some i admitted to some contests and some on 2peas..enjoy..

Earth Day

If you don't know i recycle as much as i can.. espeically those walmart bags.. you know plastic doesn't recycle.. so today is Earth Day so lets do something today to clean up this wonderful Earth that we live on.. recycle what you can.. reuse things that can be used.. plant a tree.. and watch Planet Earth if you aren't already.. this is one of the best shows on Tv right now.. and it is great for the kids also.. we need to understand that if we don't do something now what are our children going to have to deal with when they are 50?

I have always loved nature and now Jameson and Cole they love to watch things grow.. and especially animal planet.. the kids would rather watch animal planet then cartoon network..

Lets make a change in this world..recycle and use those things that are recycled or biodegradable.. or make a small change..just do something..

What's your fave beverage of choice?

love this question..
in the mornings i love coffee.. i love gourmet coffee especially.. with cream.. the international coffee cream.. not the powder..

i am in love with sam's choice lemonade..it is really good and not that expensive.. i buy at least 2 of these a week. and sometimes i have to make my own.. so lots of lemons in this house..

i love coke.. i mean who doesn't but i try to only drink one at work.. i can drink more but i usually won't.. we have a ice machine at work so i will get water after that first coke..

sweet tea is great too.. but i love it with lemons also..

ever since i was pregnant with jameson i have loved lemons with everything.. just not by themselves.. lemons in anything i really love except my coffee.. not so good with that..

getting some layouts done.. so will post later this week with them..

this one goes out to christy..

christy sent me this song and i could not listen to it so i went to itunes and bought the song.. she said it reminded her of me.. i got choked up.. i had to look up the lyrics to find out what he saying.. found it and decided to do a layout of it and inserted some of the lyrics.. this girl means so much to me and my family..we have always had a love hate relationship and that is what makes us such great friends.. we are so opposite but love the same things.. does that make sense? well it does in our friendship.. i love you christy so very much.. and miss you so much. can't wait to see you in the summer..


lyrics

when the water's high
when the weather's not so fair
when the well runs dry
who's gonna be there

you find out who you're friends are
somebody's gonna drop everything
run out and crank up their car
hit the gas get there fast

never stop to think
"what's in it for me" or "it's way too far"

they just show on up
with their big ole heart

you find out who you're friends are..........

christy you are so right.. i would do anything for you and you know it.. love you girl...

something is going around

i don't know if anyone else is sick from your kids but i got something cole got at school.. cole is never sick.. he missed 2 days of school this week.. cole doesn't miss 2 days of school all year.. so i got what he got.. it started with the body ache, runny nose, soar throat, and then a cough.. a cough i can't get rid of.. my chest hurts from coughing so much..

then my puter is messing up.. seems like everything is messing up on us.. our new tv won't show some of the channels so david is worried.. men and there tv's.. we got a new lcd tv last week.. ever since me and david have been married he has wanted one so we got one last week.. he was really excited about it.. it isn't the big one he wanted but it fits good in the living room.. i really don't think the bigger tvs are always the best.. but i told him later we might get a bigger one someday..

i am going to see my mom the end of this month.. i am really excited.. really excited.. looking forward to seeing the twins too.. jen is getting there she should be having them anytime now.. can't wait.

grandma is back in the hospital.. but it seems like she will be doing better soon.. i haven't seen her in a week.. i just dont want her to get this bug we all have.. so it has been killing me to see her.. i know she needs my support and help but being sick is not what she needs right now.. please keep her in your prayers..

okay gotta run..

If you got a tattoo, what kind would you get and where would you put it?

tommy lee has a tattoo on his wrist.. it is of his childrens names they have written themselves.. i am going to do this.. maybe not as big as his but i want to.. and when jameson is able to write her own name then i would do hers too.. i have always wanted a tattoo..i even went to get one one day and i could not find the one i wanted.. i love suns so i was going to get a sun one time.. but couldn't find the right one.. glad i didn't now.. but i am with my childrens names.. i think that is something i would love in the next 5 years and forever.. something that will bring me back to when they were in the younger ages of there life and starting to write.. no color just black.. what do you think?

grandma is doing good she came out of surgery and is doing better.. this is going to be a long recovery but with your prayers and mine i know she will be able to do the things in life she really enjoys doing.. she is a big influence in this community.. so i know she will do all the things she loves when she does this rehab.. please keep her in your prayers as she continues to do the rehab and the recovery..
