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 :)

oops...sorry I can't spell ha! ha! Just so you know , I changed it.

Our Easter...

Been living the life....

Well, it has been a little over a week since we got back from Cancun. We had soooo much fun!!! Here are some pictures to show you just how much! Have a wonderful day!!!

On a roll!

I am totally into blogging now! I have to do it at night when everyone is in bed otherwise it would take me hours to finish! So , here's the LO I did last night and finished tonight.
It has a whimsical feel to it, which was a fun change. It started from the felt flower that I made to match Avery's poncho. I love all different styles....this one was a little more time consuming but, so much fun! I like to get them done fast b/c I am so behind but, on the other hand I want to create a page that I love. Well, I am going to cut it short tonight and go to bed now. Goodnight! 

??Brown or Blonde??

So, I am thinking about changing my hair color....I do this every year but, I really think I need to try to get it back to my natural color which is like a dark blonde....I want to go darker but still have some highlights. I need a new change...I have changed my hair color and style several different time's but always go back to the same style. I reeeely need to move on and get a new doo!
Not that any of you care but, I just thought I would share. OMG! I can't believe I am posting 2 days in a row! wooohoo! I'm on a row!! Now if I can just get anyone to read it (other than my family...who never post me any comments ...I know some of you are saying I have know room to talk ...or Amber my only loyal blog reader and poster...luv ya!) Even though, it is good stress relive to just sit down and write about anything and everything almost as good as a massage....ahhh...ok, that's pushing it . Well, off to scrapbook. I bought some needed felt and floss today for a lo I am doing. Hopefully I will post it tomorrow.

Going to make and effort...

Okay...so I am really going to start to make an effort to blog everyday....yeah right!!...more like once a week, I think I can do that. Now that my BFF Amber helped me put a link to my blog on 2ps maybe that will motivate me to do it more. I have really been on a scrapbooking kick lately but, I have discovered that I am in desperate need of new product !!! I'm thinking about investing in a kit club....any suggestions??? This is a picture of my kids playing in the snow the other day. Well, that's all for now....I need to go to bed.

I did it!!

My first race in like 8 years!! I have not been in a race since high-
school. I can't believe I waited that long ..... it was so much fun and
felt so good....I even got 2nd place in my age group! I don't care
that maybe there was only one other person in that group....
I still won an award!!:) I am so hooked now....I am looking for
where I can run my next race.
I have been running with 2 other girlfriends and every since then
we have been all about running. The plan is to eventually run in
a marathon one day.....I am not promising anybody anything yet.
Here is a picture of me and my running buddies at the race...
So, I wanted to share with you another one of my favorite hobbies....scrapbooking!! Here are some recent lo's that I did....

The 1st one "carefree dude" is a lift from "dinastamps" love
her stuff!!

So Cute!

I had to take a picture of this very rare moment......Dawson and Avery TOGETHER in a picture.
I could not believe that Avery just went right over and sat down on Dawson's lap.....it was almost like her saying ok mom take a picture of us. Of course, I could not resist.

Love, love, love....

these new shoes I got for Avery today at target.
She looks so cute in them.
I just love buying for girls....so much fun!!

Disney pictures....and a lo of Avery

This is a lo of Avery that took me 3 days to do!! I absolutely love this picture though!! My Aunt Brandy took it and I just love it! Thanks Brandy....this totally inspired me to do this page.
Well, I finally got my Disney pics up. It's a good thing I am going to the all day crop Sat. because, I have a ton of pictures to scrap. This is a few of my favs ...I guess you can only fit 4 pics at a time because I had some more picked out but they were not on here. Oh well, I still have alot to figure out about this blogg page. If anyone knows how to help , I would greatly appreciate it.
Ok...I have to go get the kids to bed now. ttfn!! :)thanks Amber:)
