Busy, busy, busy
That's what May was. The first part of the month we were without our internet service for a week, then Jim got sick, then I got sick just a couple days before I was to fly to Denver so I could go to my 2 neices graduation. I spent a week in KS and Colorado, mostly at Jamie's house. Then my parents and 2 of the grandkids..Jon and Kayden (Jamie's 2) and I drove back here to our home for another week and then the month was over! It went by way too fast!! I am missing the kids so much I could cry and they have only been gone a little over a week. Someday we plan on selling the house and moving closer to the kids so we can see them more than once a year.
Right now we are just waiting for 'the' phone call from Shaun telling us that they are heading to the hospital for the baby's birth! Brit is 'due' on the 12th, but she is already dilated 2 cm..maybe more by now as that was almost a week ago. We will be going up for the baby's (Patrick's) blessing the weekend of July 4th. Tomorrow Jim leaves for training for a week down in Huntington Beach. Neither of us is looking forward to that, as we hate to be away from each other. But it is a good thing that he is getting trained on more machines.
Here are a few pics (ok maybe a little more than a few!) from my trip to CO and some of the fun stuff we did while the kids were here(I will save some others for another time *L*).
I am still bummed I lost about 200 pics when the cat ran across my keyboard and deleted a bunch of them. I lost pics I took while I was in the airplane or the ultracool clouds, and pics of Kayden making bread with me and making a birthday cake for my mom (although I do still have a close up of her face with flour all over it from the bread making and a close up of her chocolate face from the cake making). If I had an extra $100 or so laying around I would get them recovered, but at least I do still have the close ups thank goodness, so I can still scrap those memories. Unfortunately I also lost the pics from the kids feeding the ducks. Will just have to take more next time they visit! :)
On the trip out I learned that Elvis IS living AND he flys Southwest Airlines! *L* Imagine my surprise when he got on the plane I was on!!
My nephew Zach brought his Wii along with him to my parents house so we had some fun bowling with his Wii! It was my first time playing and what a blast!!
Kayden looked so cute in her little halter top dress. Her and Audrey spent a lot of time walking along these rocks at the grad. reception.
Here are my 2 neices whose graduation I flew out for. Mal and Jess. Congrats girls!!
Kayd's cute little flour covered face from helping me make bread. She is such a good little helper!
The kids traveled so well for the long drive! It took us 2 days to get back home and they really did good for being cooped up for so long.
On the drive through Utah we hit SNOW!! IN MAY!! Not only in May but it was the end of May for crying out loud! It was sooooooooooo cold in Utah! Here is Jon trying to catch a snowflake on his tongue!
Of course once we got back home to Cali we HAD to go to In-N-Out, mom's fav place to eat out here! *L* It was the kids first time there and it was a big hit with them as well!
Jim had gotten us tickets for the Mav's game for Friday night. Little did we know how cold it would be! Who in thier wildest dreams would have thought we would be sooooooooo cold at the end of May! The cold seemed to follow us from Utah! We stayed for 3 innings and left. We couldn't beleive all the people who bailed out as well, it was just too cold. At least the kids got an autograph from Wooley Bulley before we left. Kayden loved the game while we were there though, she said when she gets bigger she wants to play ball!
We went to Knott's Berry Farms and the kids LOVED it!! Kayden is a little daredevil! This girl has no fear! Although she didn't like the kids roller coaster. I think she was just too small and it bounced her around too much. Jon rode the Sidewinder by himself! WTG Jon!! He said he loved it but when the ride stopped he looked like he was ready to lose his lunch! *L* Despite the sibling rivalry *L* Kayden didn't want to go anywhere without her big brother!
No trip to Cali is complete without a trip to the beach. We took mom and dad and the kids to Huntington beach one day. It was dad's first time walking along the beach and he loved it. He wasn't able to last time because he had just had surgery on his leg. Mom had a blast collecting seashells, and she found some real nice ones since they had recently had some storms in the area. Of course Jon was so excited to be at the beach again and Kayden's trip this time was much better than her first time. The last time she was there she was scared to death of the water, this time you practically had to pull her out of the water!
Just some fun pics of us girls in the backseat of the pickup on the drive home. It is right there mom...see!!! *LOL*
And finally, I just LOVE this pic Jim got of Kayden and me. She was giving me Eskimo kisses.

NSD time!!!
I loooove NSD! *L*
What are all you scrappers doing to celebrate this weekend? I am probably going to hang around a couple of sites for the games and festivites going on there. Hopefully getting some pages done. I still need to clean my scrap room before company comes later this month. Maybe I should go in there and tackle that tonight huh? Then I could start fresh!
There's just one pic of how bad it is....and that is all I am sharing is one pic! *L*
How many of you checked out Robin's blog and have been picking up her freebies and doing her challenges? I did her Hybrid challenge today! The first Hybrid project of mine ever! It was sooooo much fun to do! And of course gives me another reason to take more pics to scrap when the grandkids are here *L* Of course I had an ulterior motive! Here is my project..sorry the pics aren't the best.
Yes I made an apron for the grandkids to wear when they visit and help me cook something. I think it turned out adorable! I created the iron by making a digital page and then printed it on a sample transfer page I have had tucked away for eons!
The last image is the page I created. I used items from Mad Scrapper Designs Country Christmas ; Doris Castle/Gypsy Saree, Window Of Time; CG Essentials/Kim Hill/Vintage Kitchen; Kubivet Blog Freebies/ Coffee2, Fun, Kitchen, Pizza for the digi page and the other items I added were the flowers from Mike's, ribbon from Offray and vintage rick rack that Charlee RAK'd me way back when *L* Then I added a little staining to the fabric to give it a used look. Just for something extra. The sign is one I have hanging in my kitchen door, that we got on a stop in Beaver Utah.
And here is some of the other stuff I have gotten done.
Jonny at the lake somewhere out by St. George, from last summer when he went with his mom and Sammie to visit friends for a few days
And finally a couple pages of Mal and one with Chelsea from their visit out here over New Yrs. These were all at Huntington Beach
Well, if you are looking for something to do this weekend, come on over to TTS and join us for some fun, games, RAK's and amazing sales in both the digi and paper stores!!
And make sure to check out our newsletter packed with all kinds of cool stuff and inspiration!

What Julie Means |
 You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. |

Mark your calendars!!
For April 24th! Grey's Anatomy is back!!!!!!!! It is about time!! Woohooo Of course you know where I will have my behind planted on Thursday night!
In other news, I am feeling bummed tonight. Went to the dr to get the results from my back xray. I have arthritis in my back, she says loose weight,*duh* I know that already, it's not like I have been trying to gain it (and according to my records I haven't gained anymore since the 30 lb after my surgery for the tumor..my weight has been stable now for the last 2+ yrs). Exercise, yeah I know that too, thats what I have the treadmill for, guess I better use it more often. Stretching..she said take yoga classes...sure with what money?? *L* Or pilate classes, again...what $$?? I don't think she believed me when I told her I am active. I work outside a LOT. Heck it hurts more to sit than it does to move, and for the pain..take tylenol or advil. Yeah sure...told her that hasn't been working at all. Even told her that I can't sleep on my right side because it hurts to lay on that side for any length of time. So she says to go off of the tylenol/advil for a while and use icy hot, etc and then try taking the tylenol or advil again later and it should work. Why can I not find a dr who will give me something for the pain, on the bad days??? It's not like I want something to take everyday. Just when I am having a bad day and feel like sitting and crying. As if the Fibro isn't enough...and to be honest people who do not have fibro do not have a clue as to how bad it can feel sometimes. Imagine having the muscle aches from the flu...everyday. Some days worse than others. But I am stubborn and honestly if I had to sit around all the time and couldn't work outside you might as well shoot me. So even if I am feeling like crud I will still go outside and do my yard work and go to work and clean houses. Besides it takes my mind off of the pain for a while *L*
Ok enough of my whining. Scrappers go check out the mid month NL at TTS TTS Newsletter There is some awesome inspiration here!
And finally my latest page.
A couple of our cats chasing a moth. *L*
I used a few of Terragina's items available at TTS.
Terragina's Funny Cats, Treasure Chest and Stardust Fantasy Element Kit. Other items are Frosted Arrows/Kristin Aagard Blog freebie; Word Art/Elegant Word Art2 blog freebie.

Freebies!
Want a list of some of the best sites to get digi freebies? I use a couple of them, one of them I jut found today. It's new to me anyway *L*
Girl Friday (just change the 04 at the end of the addy to check out other months.)
and Ikea Goddess
While I am here, I will post some pics taken of our backyard today. I love going out here and smelling my flowers. It is so peaceful out there, no it isn't done yet..it is a work in progress, but I love that! My lilacs and iris have all bloomed and the flowers are now gone.
and here is a picture of the blossoms on my orange tree. One of my former customers gave it to me when they moved to West Virginia last fall. I don't know if it will produce any fruit, but the blossoms are gorgeous and the smell is to die for!!
I wish you could all step into my backyard and take a whiff!! *ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
