A Frog and a Page...

Not much to talk about today, so I thought I would share this picture I took of this cute little frog I found on the side of my house...



And now for the page... this is Timothy playing his drums. Ever sit down to do a page and it just falls together? Yeah, not me... but this one actually did. I usually need a pile of sketch books, or pages of inspiration to help me, but I just pulled the paper and threw it all together this time. This is Bo Bunny papers I got at the LSS in MB when I visited Lisa. LOVE these, and so did Timothy cause he told me I should use these to scrap him!!!

I made the Team!

What an honor it is to be selected by Tamara on Sketches! {by Tamara}to be on her Scrapping Recipe Challenge Design Team! Every week there will be a diferent challenge with 3 things to use on a card or a page! Come on over and check us out starting September 2.

Beach Again...

Ever get a "wild hair" so to speak to just go do something? Well, last Sunday while at work, I had this crazy idea that I wanted to go back to the beach. Decided Katie needed a birthday trip! So, on Monday, Katie and I packed up (left Timothy at G &P's to go to school) and we headed to Myrtle Beach! It was a perfect beach day! We met up with Lisa and headed to the ocean for a few hours before checking in to our hotel! Katie wasn't much in the photo mood, but I did get a few I liked!




That night after showering we went to Damon's for dinner and sat by the ocean. It was heavenly! Then we headed up north a bit to The Carolina Opry to see the show Good Vibrations If you ever have a chance to be in Myrtle Beach and love music from the 60's, 70's and 80's, this show is a MUST!!! We both had such a wonderful time!!!

On Tuesday we got up and had some breakfast, then headed to Broadway at the Beach for a little shopping and relaxing! We went in this cool store (which neither one of us had no business in...) called It's Sugar. I was fascinated by all the bulk candy but this display caught my eye the most:




Would ya look at all the purty colors!!! I LOVE M&M's, but refrained. I did manage a small baggie of Gummy Bears, my other favorite!!!
After walking around for a few hours, we decided to go see a movie before heading home. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 was just as good or better than the first!

Well, that's it for our excursion to the beach! I will leave you with a photo of a cute swan we saw:


So, now we are back into the land of reality.... school starts for Katie soon, but we have to get through a few birthdays here first!

First Day of Middle School

My Boy is growing up! He started middle school a week ago! How time flies! His first week was filled with figuring out how to get from class to class, how to find his locker and remember the combination, how to navigate the cafeteria, listening to 6 different teachers instead of one, finding his bus in the afternoon, lugging around a heavy percussion kit for band, and homework already! I hope this second week goes as smoothly as the first! Here's a picture of him on the first day!

Family Tradition.

When I was growing up I remember times when our family went on what we called a "donut run." This would consist of (sometimes) being woken up after we had gone to bed, climbing in the car, and heading downtown to the Krispy Kreme for hot fresh donuts. Nothing in this world is better than hot fresh Krispy Kremes!!! So, after Katie's concert in July, we were on the way home... reminiscing about the "old days" and waking up Papa Mack and going to get donuts. We all said it would sure be nice to have a hot donut, so off we went to get our dozen! Timothy experienced his very first "donut run." Now granted it wasn't actually the same as I remember, let's face it, if you aren't woken up from a dead sleep, it doesn't much count, right? But, he did get the idea....

Beach Pictures.

Just wanted to share a couple photos from our trip to Myrtle Beach this summer!
