Some Layouts & Wall Hangings!! Or wall hangings & layouts....

I played with my Cricut & Vinyl today!!! I made the boys signs to put over their bedroom doors!! Johnny of course has a vintage train room and Jaxi's room is going to be vintage sports! Finding stuff for Jaxi's room is soo hard! Plus Kevin has a no NY teams aloud int he house rule!!! That makes it even harder!! Hello Mickey Mantel!!??!!! Anyhoo! I can't wait to try the software for my Cricut and make something big for my wall!!!

Okay I needed to add something to these wall signs... So I added buttons of course!! Any other suggestions?? I will post the updated version tomorrow!

A day at the Park with Grandpa

I love these ip close and personal pictures of the boys!!! I used embroidery string to frame Johnny picture!! And used a rub on on top of the flower mirror. The mirror by itself was to flat! I love this cloud paper so much I've used it twice!!!

Had a really nice weekend! Spent the day with Amy yesterday. We went and got our nails & toes all done up! She has never had a mani/pedi so it was fun! Then I spent the day running around town with her and my boys! They were in the worst of moods but it was fun anyways to spend time with just Amy!!! Saturday night Kevin made me dinner for our anniversary and he got me a new PINK Coach purse! Love it! He surprised me with it a couple of weeks ago!! Still love it!!! After dinner it was off to run more crazy house errands. Lately I am up to my eye balls in door knobs! Who knew they were so complicated! Today we have just hung around the house all day!!! I am still in my jammies and I am just now making dinner! Love these kind of days especially with ll the running around we have been doing. It was nice to stay home and do literally nothing.... well I did play with my scrapbook stuff but that it fun!!

Today Is My 11 Year Anniversary!!

Good Morning, ummm kinda a long one!!!!

Just a quick hello! I can't sleep! It's 5:50AM, why am I awake??? I woke up like it was 8AM!! Oh well It is quiet and I am enjoying the peace. These past 4 days have been nonstop from the time I wake up to the time I get home at 10:30pm. I haven't even been able to put my babies to bed and tuck them in and give kisses in 4 nights. I miss that! This week is a big week at the house a lot is going on. Yesterday started with me back at the Dentist chair for my last session!!! Yeah!! Although I will say Dr. Chang took very good care of me. I walked out feeling great! Just sore once the numbness wore off. After the Dentist it was off to The Counter Top Place. Seriously that is the name of the place. Our granite was installed yesterday. Everything but our island in the kitchen. It soo big that Robert wanted it to be just like I wanted. The technology is amazing!!! I was able to see just where the granite was going to be cut and what parts were going to be on the island. The piece is soo large because it is also our kitchen table. (the island is three levels- sink level, bar top level and table level) So today a big ol' truck is bringing a big ol' crane to hoist the granite into the house! I can't wait to see it! So after the granite meeting I had to go get my boys. They were such troopers yesterday!! We then headed to the bank, met a person to pay them some mula, made a FEDEX drop, went through a drive-thru to get the boys bean & cheese burritos! (so my boys) Headed to the house to meet Robert (granite guy) again to double check everything on the island. With granite you kinda only get one chance to get it right... so he was checking ever way possible and we ended up adding another 5" to the table top area! Met with my tile guys to talk back splash, talked to the painters. Then I finally tracked my cement guy down which has been like a week of phone calls and for some reason yesterday he called me back. So I met him talked to him about the forms for the circle drive. All the time I had the boys. Thank God Andy was there (Amy's brother) Johnny talked his ear off literally and blew up hand gloves to entertain him and Jaxi just kinda ran around. After a few hours of all that I went home got Johnny for swimming. But on the way home I stopped and got the boys slushes!!! And Amy my fabulous BFF told me about AirSupply coming to town and Kevin LOVES AirSupply!!! And COX was giving FREE tickets away for their concert here in town!!!! So I picked up tickets for us to give him for our anniversary this Saturday! First of all sometimes I think Amy knows Kev as much as I do! She is always looking out for me!! Thanks friend!! Love you for that! Kevin hates for people to buy him gifts so everything I give him is made or something like that... sooo this gift couldn't anymore perfect!!! It's at the golf course. It's one of his favorite bands and it's a free concert! So he can't complain! I can't wait to tell him!! So anyhoo after we went home and got ready for swim lessons we headed North to go swim. Thank God Scott was there he sat and played in the pool with Jax so I could just sit and watch Johnny swim! After swim lessons I headed to Knollas for dinner. With everything going on I have no food in the cheerio. I mean NO FOOD!!! SO after dinner I went back out to the house met the cement guy again went over all the forms he placed and figured out where we want the cement exactly... fun stuff! After he left the garage door was open. Well the garage is taller than the average door. 8 foot. I am 5 foot. So I had to climb on the Cadillac hang from the garage door (literally) to get it down all the while my new neighbor across the street is watch me!!! Nice! Anyways off to the grocery store and then I got to go home shower and go to bed!!! I was pooped after being in the heat all day yesterday. And today is going to be the same!!! First I am headed to the gym to get my stamina going for the day!!! That always helps!!! And Amy the drink, ummm delish!!! I tried clear and lets just say I think I am ready for the day!!!! SO much for a quick hello! Have a great Thursday!!!

Some of my new layouts

Jaxi swinging on the swings at the park!!

Of course this one is for Kev!!! This has to go in our history books!!! This was a proud & exciting night in our house!!

The boys and their haircuts or how Jax has still not had a haircut at 27 months!!

Johnny the bubble blower!! He is very serious at his job!! Blowing bubbles for Jaxi to watch and chase!

Johnny at his swimming lessons. He has totally picked up where he left off last year!!! He is doing awesome swimming under water!! And learning his strokes!!

This week has just flown by! And I am still flying even with some days of just doing nothing! I have been running all over town getting last minute things together for the house and trying to keep up with the boys. We started swimming lessons this week. Johnny is doing really well. It helps that he is swimming with his friends! Today I am cleaning the cheerio and getting ready to move out! I am actually packing things and throwing away a ton of stuff! I figure if I haven't used it for the year that we have been here than why do I need it now. Kevin and I have a rule under normal circumstances if we don't use it in 6 months we pitch it or of course donate it to GoodWill.

It feels soo good to move things over to the house to be installed. Counter tops go in this week, fixtures and all the electricity goes in and we get running water!! The floors are looking amazing! Someone told me our foyer looks like an episode off cribs! crack me up! Anyways. There is soo much going on on top just building the house. We are having a pretty good summer so far.

On a personal note we have some major things going on in my family that needs much needed prayers. I won't talk about it but it is extremely serious and extremely near and dear to my heart.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! It is gorgeous outside enjoy it!!!!

Oh I did get some scrapbooking done and got a few layouts done I have them on my camera but I just need to find some time to download them! EEKS! It was soo much fun to scrapbook some stuff again and play with my new stuff. I think I only used some of my new paper but i didn't realize how pretty and cool Heidi Swapp's Paper was recently!! Same with Crate Paper!! Perfect for summer layouts! Anywhoo have a great one!!

Just a relaxing day....

Johnny, 2005

We are soo not doing much today! We are just hanging out. Kevin went to KC to play golf and won't be home until after midnight!! He is soo excited to play at this swanky golf course that one of his warranty reps is getting him on! Anyhoo. I am just hanging with the boys! After running around yesterday I am ready for a day of chillin' out!! So I got up to go to my last Dentist appointment and I wasn't on their schedule. Which was fine with me, I have had so much work done in the past two months oy vey!
So Johnny decided he wanted to write a letter so we are going to go to the post office to mail it! He is really looking forward to doing this all by himself. After that just swimming and swimming lessons! Just a laid back day!!!
I am looking forward to the evening after the boys go to bed! Not that I don't enjoy every moment with them!! But since Kev is going to be gone I am soo looking forward to getting my hands on some scrapbooking products!!! I have gotten a ton of new stuff over the past couple of months but haven't even touched it! I have a pile of pictures just waiting to be scrapbooked!!! A few months ago I joined a scrapbook monthly kit club!!! From Scrap-A-Latte of course!!!! It is soo nice to have new stuff come to you and I don't have to go to a store! Although I do miss the store atmosphere and seeing everything but right now I don't have the time to shop for things. So by getting the kits I feel like I have a personal shopper!! Any ways I think I am rambling again! Okay off to the PO!!! Happy Wednesday!!!
