Happy Birthday to Avery!!!

Here it is...

This is for you Mom and Brandy.

Here are the chairs that I found at Marshals
and this is my new table....you will have to see the rest when you come this weekend. :)

Pierced...

Avery got her ears pierced today for her birthday!!!


She got little dimond flower earings with her birth stone in the middle.
They are so cute! She was so brave and did not even cry. I was not suprised though b/c she had been asking to get her ears pierced and was so excited. We had them done at Libby Lu....which I think made a better experince. I see us having a party there in our near future....Avery loved it! Here is the link to http://www.clublibbylu.com/.

Soccor boy...

Dawson is playing soccor this fall at the YMCA.
Here is a Layout of his first practice.

On a roll...

Here are 4 lo's I did this past week. It was so nice to be able to get some pages done and not feel guilty about it. I have had more time geting my house in order since my kids have been in school...I can't get into scrapbooking with a messy house.
Anyways, I just wanted to share ... let me know what you think. Now I am off to orginize my scap sapce.

Very Sad day.....

Today is one of the saddest day's for me....Dawson is going to his first FULL day of school! He had 2 phase in day's and they weren't so bad b/c he was only there from 8-11 am but, today he will be there untill 7:15-2:15 WOW! 7 hours! The hardest part this morning for me was seeing him drive off with his daddy and knowing that I am not going to be there for him all day....I think im going to cry. Im already having mixed emotion's about the whole school thing in deciding which one is the right one for him. So, it just makes it that much harder for me. But, I do have to say that I am very pleased with the class/teacher's (yes teacher's) he has. Dawson is in a class that has two teachers and I think that is GREAT .... exactly what he need's :) he also got the teacher that we requested for. She has been teaching for over 30 years and the other teacher is right out of school, which is a really good combination.
I just pray everyday that he is treated well, learn's what he need's to be learning , makes good choices, and good friends.
AND...to top it all off Avery started her pre-school this week too! My babies are growing up too fast! She will be going 2 days a week for 5 hours. I was having mixed emotion's about her school too b/c Dawson went to a different pre-school and was there all 4years and I have switched Avery to a new one. I felt much better about it though when I found out that a friend of mine was going to be her teacher.

Here are some pictures of them on their 1st day.
And I had to post this picture too b/c I just love it!

T-ball is over...

we will be back at it in the Fall...if it is up to Eddie :-)
I am so proud of Dawson! He has done a great job and even got the Sportsmanship award!
Just wanted to share some pictures of him...

This was Eddies Father's Day gift. We all went to the Sounds game and they let all the Dad's and kid's go out on the field to throw ball's . Here Ozzy came out on the field and Dawson got his ball signed by him.

















This is Dawson ridding his bike WITHOUT training wheels. I have noticed, when he wants to do something bad enough....he know's how to do it! He learned in one day!
My little boy is getting so big. Makes me sad.

I'll admit....

I am THE WORST blogger! I really need to get rid of dial up and I would be much better...seriously. I would love to update this more but I am too impatient. Well, I think anyone would be with dial up.
Anyway's, I figured you were sick of seing the same thing everytime you opened my page.....SO....here are some LO's I did last week. They are on 2peas too...so go and leave me some love.

 

How Sweet is this?!?!

This is what's in one of our fern's hanging on our front porch....A BABY BIRDIE!! It's sooooo cute and the kids love it! Dawson thinks it's the coolest thing ever. Can't wait to see the other two hatch....so neat seeing something like this.

Here is a fun page that I did of me and my Sister....luv ya sis! Ok I am going to bed now b/c it's like 1 am AND I had to work tonite. So, going to have to cut it short....nighty nite

Today is a good day!!

13.1 miles!!!!!

This is what I ran Sat. in the Country Music 1/2 Marathon. My very 1st "big" race! It was hard... but.. I did finish before my est. time....it was 2.15 and I finished in 2.06!! I was so suprised to see that time b/c I felt like I did 2.20. The last 2 miles were BRUTAL!! My legs felt so heavy and I just wanted to stop but when I saw the finish line , I don't know how but, I totally forgot about all my pain and sprinted the whole way in. That was the best feeling ever!! I love the rush you get from running fast like that.
I will have to post some pictures after I order them.
On to other news...as of today our house is on the market. Our realtor just came out to put the sign in our yard. It was so weird seeing it out there... it makes it more "real". Our new house is coming along, I am soo excited to see how it all turns out.

New Pics...

Just wanted to share some pictures I took the other day of the kido's.
Hope everyone is having a good week !!

Scrappy Happy!!!

Okay ..... I have finally got some scrapbook mojo!!:
Here are some lo's that I wanted to share...

This is a lo that I did with the JBS kit



This is my favorite....you can't see it here but it has a 3d look to it...
eveything is just popping out at you





This was hard for me to work with....I just didn't care for the colors.
They were givin to me for DT at a LSS.
Although, I ended up liking how it turned out.

Well, there it is...hopefully I can keep the mojo flowing :)
