happy hump day ya’all! only two more days till the weekend…woot woot! i am so ready for the weekend, for at least one day of trying to sleep in, to be able to clean my rat hole of a house, to wear pajamas all day and not have to wake kids up at 6:30 am for school. heck yes, bring on the weekend cause mamas tired.
welp, my loving dr called me in a prescription..bless her heart. an antibiotic and prednisone…oh prednisone, there is nothing quite like not being able to sleep, feeling as hungry as a horse and bloating up like a big puffer fish. mmmmm, prednisone.
i promised new layouts yesterday and i never let my people down sooooo here are two. they were both made with the september kit from opaat (one page at a time). some serious yummyness going on in that kit! stamps and gems with basic grey paper, helloooo….doesn’t get much better than that peoples ~

i also wanted to say how much i feel the Lord has been using me as a testimony for him lately. i’m trying to really follow his will, although i’m not perfect and slip and fall sometimes. but it amazes me how much you give your life over to him..how much he totally blesses your life! and he uses you to lead others back to him. i’m amazed by it, i’m thrilled by it and i wouldn’t want it any other way. thanks everyone for your prayers, i seriously appreciate it!

out for now

hellooooooooooo

well here i am, back after a long week away from blogging. i had a week filled with sick kids, sick mommy and a weekend camping trip for the whole family, including daddy!!!

the kids started getting sick the day before school started. it was joey first, with a temp and a chest virus. you know everything gets labeled a virus these days, ugh, so totally irritates me. they went to school wednesday then that evening jade got sick and got a temp. she was home thursday and friday with me. her temp actually hit 104 at one point. of course, hers is also labeled a virus. and friday i woke up and could tell i was starting to get it. and yes, i still have it. the dr is calling in some meds for me though, guess mine isn’t a virus? ugh…dr’s

and the camping trip…oh what fun we had!!! we went to prince gallitzen state park and had a blast! i have tons of pics but haven’t had a chance to upload any yet. we ate too much, talked a ton, joey rode his bike till he got blisters on his hands, jade swam and swang, we went on walks, sat on the dock, took pics and froze to death sleeping in the tent. we had such a good time together as a family and i think we ALL realized that it’s what we want. not that there was ever really a question, it just reconfirmed it for us all. joe said it WAY exceeded his expectations of the weekend and he has a great time.

i will post some pics and layouts later today or tomorrow so be on the lookout!

lovelies

happy monday my lovelies!!! i hope everyone had a great weekend. ours was full of total fam stuff, hanging out with the kids and joe, canning beets, a cool pep rally and some scrappin 🙂 such fun times!

yesterday i decided i wanted to create BUT i also wanted to be outside enjoying the day. so i packed up some scrappy goodness, packed up some bikes and barbies and took the kids out to my dads farm and drove back in to a clearing spot we have that is just kinda cool. the kids can ride bikes and i dont have to worry about them. i scrapped while we were and let me tell you HOW cool it is to scrap outside!!!! i was toooootally inspired. i worked on the dare 73 layout – do a layout without using any scrap supplies. the only downfall was i think i might have stamped with poison ivy…although no big since my hands didn’t break out 🙂

and i am totally getting so excited for next weekend…our big family camping trip!!! joe is going with us, which excited me more to spend a whole weekend with him. we are going to prince gallitzen state park..two nights in a tent..fishing during the day..camp fire cooking..reading..maybe scrapping..total fam time. i can’t wait!!! although i still have not “made one” with the bugs, ugh. i will have to make some type of arrangement with them – as long as they arn’t on me then i wont kill them.

out for now
