Happy Anniversary to the people i really love.. Richard and Lillian..my father and mother in law.. 30 years is a very long time. you both bring so much joy to me and my family.. my life has completely changed since the day i sat at that dinner table eating with my first dinner with you.. and so worried Cole would make a mistake.. i remember it so clearly.

10 things you think are crucial for you to be happy.
1 Prayer
2 David (he makes my heart pitter)
3 my kids hugs and kisses..and smiles
4 COFFEE
5 a nice purse
6 paid bills
7 the look David gives me when he gets home from work
8 when i get my kits in the mail
9 good friends..
10 a clean house that smells good.
11 good music (i'd rather listen to music then watch tv)
12 LOST....

a few things that make me happy... i have so many layouts to post but not today.. maybe later this week..
have a nice Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras... we are having pancakes at church.. it is the start of Lent.. and i still don't know what i will sacrifice.

Today is a great day.. well it is monday... the kids went back to school today and Ivy is at mothers morning out till 12... Now i feel like i can take a breather for myself and relax just a bit. Take a long bath or just enjoy the sights of outside. There are some beautiful sights... This week starts Lent... and that means to sacrifice something.. still thinking what i should sacrifice. Father Lee suggested to volunteer.. i would love to find time to do that...


I'm going to post some photos today. I have to get a flash for my camera. It seems like my flash will not work... So i haven't been taking that many photos because of the flash.. these are some i took last week outside.. Ivy watching her daddy leave really tugs at my heart.. Jameson being winny.. i think this is a stage she is in right now.. can't wait till this is over with.. Cole being the monkey.. these photos are being done in layouts as i speak..

have a nice Monday

I am so happy it is Friday.. That means school Monday. Cole and Jameson have been home all week and it really changes things a lot for Ivy. She doesn't nap because they are in and out all during her nap. And also I think she got the stomach virus we all had last week. She ate nothing yesterday. Ivy is a great eater and loves fruit. Every morning she gobbles her fruit down and she didn't touch it so I knew something was wrong. She ate some breakfast this morning, not enough though.

David's job is doing good. I miss him like crazy. But i think we are all adjusting to this.

Ivy has several riding toys but this one is her FAVORITE.. Meme gave her this for christmas last year and she loves it.. all the kids love it but they are just to big for it.. doesn't really stop them from riding it though. she has learned how to ride it and not just sit on it. she pushes that little button over and over and over.. Thanks MEME.. (i sometimes hear it in my dreams)


Another of Jenny's photos.. hey i don't want them in the box.. i want them on something or somewhere.. i perfer my layouts though. This is one of my favorites of all of us.. this is the first photo of us together like this..

Have a great weekend ya'll..

Happy Valentine's Day. I usually give the kids some candy and a big ole lollypop, that they will never finish.. Maybe some photos with it would be cute..

The first year we were dating i got a few dozen roses.. which i really don't want flowers that are going to die..

Things are really busy since David started his new job.. More time away and less time at home. So at night I am doing the cooking, baths and the getting ready for the next day stuff.. which leaves me very exhausted. Changes are always hard to adjust at first but we will get into a new routine soon I hope. David is still learning too. I think he enjoys it but misses being home too. These are the changes we knew were going to happen but we are doing what is best for all of us.

The weather has been so nice lately. I have been taking Ivy outside for a little play time in the grass.. She loves to be outside.. Next week the kids are going to be out of school, which means things are going to be busy here.. We will see. I hope the weather is nice so the kids can enjoy the nice weather. I have some layouts i will post probably in the next couple of days..

Have a great day

Busy day for me today.. cleaning like crazy.... going through the kids toys and Ivy's cloths to give away... and that sort of thing. I also got a new cell phone.. i hate getting a new phone but my razor was pretty old and has been on the end of it's life. And David needs text service so changing things around. But i have to say i really love it.. Also Ivy started her first day of Mothers Morning Out.. it was kind of weird not having her on my hip.. when i went to pick her up one of the kids bit her on the cheek so Ms Shelly was pretty upset.. Ivy was fine...

So many announcements First off David got the job he interviewed for.. We are all excited.. He has been a assistant manager for a very long time. He will be in a bigger store so more time there and not a lot of time at home. So we are going to have to make some decisions on what we are going to do in the future. Probably after school is over. I love Jesup, but with working with Walmart you can go anywhere.

another announcement I made my first Design Team at So sketchy blog.. i really love Ally's sketches since the first day i saw them on Scrapperie. I am totally over the moon with this one..
And also I got a spot for the Guest design team at Scrapperie. One of my favorite sites. And there is a Feb challenge going on. So go check them out..

Have a nice Sunday.
