Last layout for a few days - I promise.


This is it. I promise. I'm spending way to much time on the computer.

Help! I can't stop

Ok. I thought I was addicted to paper scrapbook, but now, I can't put my computer down to stop my digital scrapbooking. I can work on my scrapbooking while the boys play inside or outside. They don't care that I'm on the computer so I can get stuff done. I think this may be the only page for today, I have to get some other stuff done - like just playing with the boys.

Big Boo Boo

OK. That is it. I'm tired. But this was a challenge on Two Peas in a Bucket, and I was determinded to do this - because I thought it was going to be easy. Well, I was finished with the page in 10 minutes, but I decided I wanted to change the color of Sam's shirt to match the background. Well after playing around and watching the My Fair Brady wedding special show, 45 minutes later it was finished. Here it is.

Oh yea, I'm on fire!!

Check it out, another layout. I'm so excited that I'm getting so much done. 4 layouts in 2 days!!!

New layout

Here I go, going crazy again. This page has some things I hadn't tried before, erasers, opacity, etc. I think I may be getting the hang of things.

Now I gotta get something done around here, or Kurt is going to fire me (I could only hope)!

Not that I haven't done anything today - 4 loads of laundry and went to Sam's preschool playgroup. Oh, not to mention up @ 6am to walk 3 miles with some neighbors. I guess I have gotten some things done today.

I'm trying to get back into my digital scrapbooking. I have set a goal for myself to be finished paper scrapbooking 2005 by the end of the summer and finish digital scrapbooking 2006 by the end of the year. So that way I will be up to date with our family albums when 2007 rolls around. Nice thought, huh? We will see how it goes. Here is one for 2006 down from Feb. 1st.

Kudos to Rhonna Farrer for this template. It may be cheating a little, but it's fast!!!

I'm still here.....

If you thought I had stopped blogging, your wrong. The summer is taking it's toll on us. Or I should say we are taking a toll on summer. We went to Minnesota/Wisconsin for vacation and had a blast. Next up, the boys and I are going to the coast to see my parents. Here are a few great shots from our vacation:

Great Wolf Lodge: The hotel/waterpark we stayed @ in Wisconsin Dells

Matthew, Keith, Jill, (Our best friends kids) & Sam - hanging out in the room

This was a huge ball park @ Great Wolf, Wiley's Wood's. There were machine guns you put balls in and shot at each other. I think Kurt and Tom had much more fun than anyone.
There was also an amazing maze of slides throughout Wiley's Woods.

Matthew entering the "purple hole"

The Cabin: Long Lake, Cumberland, Wisconsin:
Matthew's first catch - a sunny!
Cooking smore's, campfire (on July 3rd, couldn't wouldn't want to do that in Texas) and popping fireworks with the Muehlbauer's
Kurt's Big Ass Bass - 6 lbs, 20 in.
Now that is what I like to see - men in the kitchen. Untold story - I was the one who cooked the pancake/sausage breakfast!
The sun setting and I caught some beautiful shots of my boys....



These were are $1.50 purchases from Wal-Mart! Yep, I went to Wal-Mart (for those of you who know me best, know I HATE Wal-Mart). There are a very limited amount of shopping places you can go in the middle of no where Wisconsin. Belive me, the boys loved these, they played and swam with them for hours!!

Mall of America, The Camp.
Me and Sam. Yep, we were swinging around the corner fast enough to make my hair fly.
Matthew and Jill making their best lap.
