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.. Since Ivy doesn' eat much candy some cute little dresses.. David some reeces candy.. we will see if he even remembers.. 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...

Here is my first layout for So Sketchy.. I love this glittery paper which you can't see in the photo..

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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD aka PAPPY...hope you have a unstressful day..

We are playing the waiting game this week. I am not fond of this at all.. We are suppose to know something about Davids job. Hate this.. and i hate to see David waiting too..

I signed Ivy up for Mothers Morning Out for Mondays and Fridays.. She gets to play with other kids and i have a few hours i can get some things done. And 2 of my friends are coming over next week to hang out and hopefully scrapbook. Pretty excited about that.. I went to a crop all day Saturday and didn't get but a few layouts done. I enjoy going but hate to pack and unpack. And then i realize i don't have everything i need too. So here are some layouts i have done this week..


Have a great HUMP day.. and happy birthday again to my father in law Richard.. love you..

I thought i might do 16 things about me .. i just saw it on Ali's Blog so it gave me an idea to do my own.. there are so many things we don't know about each other it is amazing what we learn..

1.I have always loved Giraffes and Owls. i know there is an owl that lives on the farm but i never can find it..

2. i have always wanted to be a mother..i never really wanted to be anything else but a mother. well i still want to be a nurse but being a mom came first.

3. i love soup.. making chili tonight... especially a good homemade chicken noodle with David's grilled cheese.. yummy..

4. i hate breakfast.. this year i have made a promise to myself to eat breakfast and i am really eating every morning.. Oatmeal is what i like right now..

5.. i hate crowds.. especially a place i am not familiar with..

6. i love coffee.. love the smell of it being brewed. i love drinking it..i can drink a whole pot in one morning.. and i am totally addicted to Mc Donalds coffee too..

7. Okay i am a facebook junkie.. so addicted.. i love seeing what people do.. and catching up with old friends and classmates.

8. i lived in Hawaii and i hated it..

9. i love vintage stuff... i could look at finds all day online but nothing around here to go shop for.

10. i am really excited to have a day for myself this weekend.. going to a scrapbook crop.. all day long.. i haven't been in about a year now..

11. i love to smell lavender Downey.. oh yeah i use it too..

12. i really don't like Jameson's dog Rainbow.. can't stand that dog.. well i won't go on with this one..

13. my favorite tv show is LOST .. i read the blogs, watch the spoilers, listen to the blogs.. yeah a little bit in love with that show.. and i fell asleep last night watching it.

14. my favorite singer right now is James Morrison.. oh and Adele comes pretty close..

15. i don't like the dark.. and this house gets dark.. i always have a light on

16..i love David so much it hurts sometimes. and sometimes i really can't stand him.. but most of the time i can't wait till he gets home to sit down and have our chat in the morning before he goes to bed. it is pretty hard when you are on different shifts but we have made it work.

okay a little about me and my everyday stuff..

1-20-2009

and this is what i want to do all day..Reagan has it pretty easy.. She lays around all day.. and if it is cold outside, don't even think about it.. I ain't going outside.. I don't get to many pictures of Reagan but i got this one..

Have a great day today..
i will be watching the tv all day.. watching history be made..

Today I am leaving this post to Mandy.. she was a great friend to so many of us. I will miss her and so will a whole lot of us. Please keep her family in your prayers. She graduated with me and David and is the same age as us also. What a beautiful person Mandy was.. David and I know her family very well so they are in our prayers and in our thoughts..

Things like this make you think about what would happen if that was you.. and yes i have thought about that a lot.. so i told David the things i want the kids to have if something ever happened to me.

So today please say a special prayer for her family as they go through this tragedy...

Here are some photos of Ivy taking steps.. She is really getting around now.. But still wants to be picked up when she doesn't want to walk. Her knees are always dirty from crawling around. I can't wait till she walking more.. Pretty fun to watch her push stuff around. Gosh she is dirty.. oh well.. my camera flash isn't working so this is the best ones i got.


Have a great weekend and stay warm..

I have been so inspired lately. And going without sleep to get my ideas out. So last night i went to bed at 8 with 2 PM's so i would get some rest, but i still woke up with a headache. The forestry people have been burning some brush right near the farm and it has given us all headaches. So today i am hoping for lots of rain to get this smoke out of the air. The house smells like we have been at a camp fire all week. So burning lots of candles. Here are some from Jenny's photo shot.. This girl has lots of talent.. My favorite layout is the one of us in the shadows.. LOVE IT!!.. Still have more photos to do layouts on. I also have some great news this week.. so keep checking my blog to see..

Here is here mini album i made.. it isn't all of the album just some pages of it..



Thanks for looking..

Right now i am really wishing i had more time to scrap.. i am so motivated to use my scraps up and make cards.. i NEVER like to make cards..well i do make them but not as much as i like making layouts. i found this cute blog for sketches for cards. here is the link 2 Sketches 4 You.. and i will post my card and a layout.. school starts back tomorrow and i am very EXCITED.. Ivy is off of her schedule and doesn't take naps because the kids are so loud.. and she is a very light sleeper.. so as i type this she is screaming her head off.. going in there calming her down and then leaving is not easy.. i hate to hear her scream.. but as soon as i hold her she is asleep. so let's celebrate BACK AT SCHOOL..

Tomorrow i will post Ivy's first mini album..
lots of photos for that one..

Have a nice day...

Happy New Year..
I tried staying up but just didn't make it.. David has been sick and now i think i am getting it. Trying to take meds and so forth..
Any resolutions this year? well i have a few but i think i am going to keep them to myself.. Maybe work on more layouts and go for those Design teams that intimidate me? Yeah that is a BIG goal.. Hope everyone has a great day today. I hope things are better this year then last year. So many things are coming up in this year.. So many people having babies.. So that is something to look forward to.. Just as long as it isn't me having them i am pretty happy.

Okay here are 2 layouts i did using So sketchy sketches..
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.. Eat lots of black eyed peas and greens.. I know I am..
