It's a boy!!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to Kayden! She is 3 years old today!!
Britney had her ultrasound today also and it is a BOY and Brit thinks she felt the baby move today! Of course Shaun is so excited and says the next few months are going to drag *L* What a guy! Now it really gets exciting!

I have the next couple days off, so I am hoping to get caught up with some things online and shampoo my carpet, which desperately needs it!
The weather forecast for us for the next few days is rain!! Rain glorious rain! Maybe a little snow with it also. I am crossing my fingers!!

Well today is going to be short and sweet..but before I go I will leave you with a new page.


I made this using Dawn Inskip's Land Of Make Believe Kit
available at Treasures To Scrap Digi Store

Welcome to my world! *L*

Man, don't you hate it when you have sometime typed out and then BAM lose it all? I had all this stuff written on my blog and I went to add a pic to it and my pop up blocker came up...I hit allow pop ups here..and it took me right back to an empty page!! argggggggg So you are going to get the condensed version *L*

I was talking about how busy we had been..yeah making excuses why I hadn't blogged in almost 2 months *L* and how 2 of my neices had been out to visit over the new years. Mal asked me to take her senior pics and we had so much fun with that! While her and Chels were here I took over 400 pics and well over 100 of them were just senior pics! I am glad I am not her mom, and I don't have to decide what pics I want to use, cause I would want them all!! I did do a 2 page spread using some of the pics....that is the one I was going to post when blogger wiped me out *L* So cross your fingers that it won't happen again while I try to post it this time!



Well since it is getting late now, I will just add some of my other recent pages and projects...(I wish I could add something I made for my cousin for her birthday...but she reads my blog...*L* and I want it to be a surprise whenever she is finally able to get it from my mom!! Hi Tina!! *L* Love ya and miss you!!)










And some Digital pages





I would like to ask for your prayers for Trevor, who is not doing very well right now. If you would like to read more about Trevor you can go here Tracys blog(scroll down to read about Trevor) This Family needs all the prayers we can send up!!

And finally...if you believe there is ANY justice in the world, pray that the guy in this story gets the absolute maximum sentence he can get for what he did. These poor families have lost 2 good kids..all because this maniac decided he wanted to have some 'fun'. If it were up to me, he would die the same way he killed them.

Where has the time gone?

I swear the older I get the more the time flies and the more behind I get! How did it get to be almost Dec already? Where did this year go? I don't even know where this last month went!
Ok let's see....I finished my classes that I needed for my baptism. Shaun, Brit, Jonny and Sammie came out for Thanksgiving and my baptism. That was the big stuff...I guess between all that and cleaning the house for fall, cleaning the garage and yard work it kinda flew by before I knew what happened!

Sooooo Dec is starting this weekend!! Do you have your Christmas shopping done? We do..almost. Just a few little things to pick up and I need to get some stuff for Jim! I still need to make some Christmas cards and some gifts. I guess I better get on the ball huh?

You need homemade gift ideas? If you you should pop over to TTS this weekend because we are having a Christmas crop!! There will be challenges, games, chats, prizes and lots and lots of inspiration to get you going on those gift ideas!!


With that in mind I will leave you with some pics from my baptism and some of my recent pages.

Good start to the weekend

I had a good start to the weekend this morning! Even though we both slept through the alarm *L* On my way to work the radio station I listen to was giving away the new Garth Brooks hits cd/dvd set. I kept calling and getting a busy signal, then it rang..I figured ok I am probably caller 9 or 10....they wanted 11. When the DJ asked me my name and I told him he informed me I was 11!! wooohoooo I was wanting this set!!!

Welp, not much going on the last couple of days. So I will just post some of ym recent pages.

I hope you have

a strong stomach. Because this news report will make your stomach turn! But you really need to see it anyway! Want to know how clean your motel room is? Or the things in it?
Motel news report

Good lord, I know when I worked at Comfort Inn there is no way in the world I would have done anything like that! Granted we had wrapped glasses, so each customer got new glasses, but I also know that the Howard Johnson down the street from us only used water to do thier cleaning. That grossed us all out! Talk about unsanitary! ewww ewww ewwwww!

Ok now I am gonna have my vent for the day. Customers....some...not all by any means. But one in particular. Has a PHD but no common sense! Why, after countless times of being told..if you want extra work done, schedule more time or tell me what you want me to skip....leaves me yet another note with a list of extra things to do. the one that really torked me off....because I do the others on a regular basis anyway....but the one that chapped my hide today was her wanting me to wipe down all their doors! We are talking at least 12 doors..now figure front and back that is 24. Where am I supposed to find the time for this? Heck if I know!!!!!!!!! Let's see, even if I give myself 5 minutes to wipe down each door that is an hour right there, and that is pushing it! Oh but not only that...last time thier vacumn was not working right, so I let her know. She says it is fixed now. So I go to vacumn off the fireplace and pull out the hose and things start flying out at me! ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Obviously the vacumn is NOT fixed!!! She said she had taken it outside and shook it and a bunch of lint came out...so it was fixed. *sigh* This is the same one, who when she told me to change her sheets one week..but failed ot leave them out for me....when I left her a note telling her I don't know where her sheets are kept...left me a note saying....they are in the pillowcases! (a Martha Stewart thing) Ummmmmmmmm HELLO???? If I don't know where the sheets are...I think it is fair to say that I don't know where the pillowcases are either! *DUH* As for the vacumn cleaner....these people make more money than they know what to do with and she keeps buying these piece of crud $50 vacumns! Buy a good one and this may not happen all the time! I was so frustrated by the end of the day I wanted to sit down and cry....doesn't help that my back is hurting again from the car accident, so that is obviously something that is always going to be with me. I need another vacation already!

Have you seen it??

Comet Holmes! Here is a couple of links for more info on it. Jim and I were able to see it tonight with the naked eye, although we used the binoculars also for an even better view.

Shooting, Scrapping and Harold!

Jim and I went out for dinner tonight. Outback...yummmmmmmm. When we left, we decided we hadn't been in World Market in forever so we walked over to do some window shopping. While there Jim found...Harold!!!! *LOL* As you can see Harold is a Jr fan also :)



World Market has some of the most awesome Christmas ornaments! But there are some that I don't quite understand. If you can explain them to me please do!!! The pig ornaments...hmmmmm and the frog ornaments....and the dill pickle ornaments. What is thier significance? On the drive home though we decided that I have got to get Britney one of the dill pickle ornaments to commemorate her pregnancy. *L* She is gonna kill me for that!

Since we are on vacation this week we decided to go do some early shooting yesterday morning. Great time to do it since there's hardly anyone around then. I had a great day!! Was interesting though. While we were there all of a sudden 2 deputies came up asking Jim if his name was Philip. Seems someone had parked at one of the truckers cafe's next to the range, had left their door open with ammunition inside the car and there was a hole cut into the fence! Yikes! There hasn't been anything in the paper, so we are wondering what the heck was going on! But here is my target


And Jim's target


Finally...scrapping! Although I haven't had the chance to do a lot of scrapping during vacation, I have gotten a couple done.
Love these pics of Madi I found on my camera after she was here this summer *L* Gotta love the silly self=portraits! The next page is Madi's baptism. TTS is our sponsor this month on the web site, so T (site co-owner) sent me missionary papers to scrap Shaun's Mission pics. Jeremiah 1:5 is a picture of Kayden's ultrasound. We had a challenge at TTS to scraplift Nancy Jones. The last page is digi and I used Di Hickman's Nov template at TTS.
