Fun in the Sun

We (mom, me, Cordel, Tyllan, Jacob, C.J., and Hannah) went to Lava Hot Springs a couple weekends ago and had a blast! Cordel went crazy once he got used to the water, jumpin off the side into our arms and going down the slide. The 2 oldest boys had a blast jumpin off the diving board. I got this great shot of Jacob jumpin off the side and making a big splash! Although we had to cut our trip a little short because Cordel fell off the slide (6 feet on his head onto the concrete-yes he's fine), we had a really good time.

The Happy Couple

My cousin Brett and his
Bride Katie. Congratulations!!

Sweet Girl!

This picture was taken a couple weekends ago at my cousins wedding. Look at those cheeks! Don't ya just want to pinch 'em? or at the very least give 'em a big loud smooch!!

I've been Tagged!

Okay, so this is the first "tag" I've done so here it goes!


List 7 random things about myself.


1. I love the sound of rain on the roof of my car.

2. I talk to my Mom every single day at least once.

3. I used to drive a school bus.

4. I am short.

5. I love to sing along with the radio, and I don't care who sees.

6. I HATE window shopping. I am a "shop only when I have money" kind of girl.

7. I want to move into a great big house out in the country somewhere.

And there you have it. Feel like you know me better now?

I am going to tag...ummmm...basically everyone on the We Stamp Bloggers list (except for Sher and Sarah, who already got tagged) because I don't have any other blogger friends!!

brother and sister

I just made this page today and I think it turned out pretty dang cute. I found these pictures of my kids and just new they had to be on a scrapbook page soon. The pictures were taken of each of my babies at age 2 weeks and they are complete mirrors of each other with their arms and the way they are facing. AND they are wearing the exact same nightgown (handed down to my daughter from my son)!
I love love love the friends and flowers simply scrapin kit!!!

Loves for baby sister

Cordel was always giving "baby sister" loves when I was pregnant. My mom got this picture of him hugging my big belly. I was about 8 1/2 months pregnant with Sydnie.

My sweet, precious boy!

The Infamous Artist

I know the journaling is hard to read, but it basically tells the story about Codel coloring on our brand new leather couch and loveseat with a ball point pen. And when I say brand new, I mean we had had the set less that 3 weeks! And when I say "coloring", I mean huge circular scribbles on 3 of the five seat cushions. (it's kinda hard to see in the pictures) I was beside myself when it happened, but we got over it, as parents do. And it made for a great scrapbook page!

"The Infamous Artist. SO VERY sorry!"

Wedding Album

Here are a few pages from a 8x8 wedding album I am making for a cousin who is getting married. I think it's turning out pretty cute! I hope they like it. I'm mostly using a scrapin' kit, which makes it so easy!! It feels good to actually scrapbook again! I haven't done a whole lot since I had the baby!

My Scrapin Friends

Here are two of my friends that I scrapbook the most with. We all had kids within 4 months of each other, and so now our kids are all friends. It's great! That's basically when we all started scrapbooking too. Both of them are members of my scrapbooking club and we always have a really good time!

clockwise from the top: Toni and Alli, Wendy

and Madison, Me and Cordel (and Sydnie in

the belly!)

This is one of my favorite scrapbook pages. Ya know how some pages just turn out great? These pictures were taken when my son was 7 months old. He was being kinda grumpy, and she got a great shot of his Pouty Face!

My Beautiful Babies

These are my kiddlets! My son Cordel is almost 3 and Sydnie, my daughter is almost 4 months. Now I happen to think they are completely and perfectly adorable! Yes, I am bias! Being a Mommy is never dull, am I right? My son tonite was trying to delay bedtime, and he kept saying he wanted to watch the "swords" on T.V. (we were watching Mythbusters) So we let him finish the show, and when it was done he said, "No, not bedtime. Now I have to watch the news!"

Crazy about scrapin'

I started seriously scrapbooking about three years ago, just before my son Cordel was born. I was so excited to be a mom and I wanted to document every second! My son is now almost three, and I am working on album #4! He has 2 for his first year of life, and one for for each year after that. I know, its a little over kill, but he is just too dang cute! He's always doing funny things and just being adorable and I want everyone to be able to see what I see everyday. So, now the whole cycle is starting again with my sweet baby girl, who is almost 4 months now. I have less time to scrapbook now, but I have a huge list, and even bigger pile of pictures that will soon (hopefully!)be on a page. I am determined to defy the "norm" and not let the second child get cheated out of all the "first child" experiences. My goal is to have just as many pages of Sydnie as I do of Cordel! It's a good thing I'm Crazy About Scrapin!!
