This was a little card kit that I made a while back-I used a coupon holder from Target's dollar spot to make the case for the cards-
Inside I made little tabs for each of the occasions.
I hope you all had a great week. We had a funeral to attend on Saturday and then we had my nieces 8th Birthday dinner tonight! Happy Birthday Katie-I cannot believe that you are already 8!!! Where does the time go?
I have still been enjoying March Madness- I picked UNC to win it all-Gonzaga is another favorite-there have been so many good games this past week.
I hope you all have a fantastic week-Spring is on it's way!

Fun Run in Anaconda

Sorry I have been absent from Blogging for so long-I think it is due to two factors: 1.) March Madness and I cannot get enough of the basketball games and 2.) Facebook
I am addicted-if they had a FB group I should probably attend.
Things have been rather busy-work,school and just the normal everyday routine.
This weekend we ran the annual St. Patty's Day Run in Anaconda-then Skiied on Sun with Ryan and my sis! It was a busy but fun weekend. We had corned-beef and cabbage at Papa and Nana's house on Sat. night and it was SOOOOO yummy- gotta love St. Patty's Day- I hope you are all enjoying your month of March-I will try and be better about posting more often-! Take Care!

Happy Birthday Sarah

Today is my sister in law Sarah's Birthday and we want to wish her a Happy Birthday! She is a great sister in law to have-always there to listen and lend an ear. She will run to Hobby Lobby for me in a heart beat and is one of the God Parents to our children, along with her husband Scott-I feel so blessed to have her in my life and today I hope she is having a wonderful day! Happy Birthday Auntie!!!

Sledding Fun

This weekend was a ton of fun. Lil man didn't have school on Friday so we headed up to the cabin in Thurs night. Friday our friends the Becks came up and spent the night. It was a ton of fun. We went sledding both Fri and Sat. The kids had a ton of fun, especially because Jeremy and Ike would take turns hauling the kids up the hill on the snow machine. They had a blast and I think all the adults did too. We made homeade french fries on Friday night!!!
Saturday night we went into Anaconda to have dinner at Nana and Papa's house. We then ended up watching Bull Riding. My lil love is in love with Bull Riding. She thought it was so fun to watch!!! Today we were able to see my brother and sister in law along with my nephews from Great Falls. My Brother came down to pick up Ike's truck that I had a lil fender bender with and took it back to fix it!! ( Which means Ike is driving ol Blue again (thanks Amber and Jared) It was so nice to see them. Night was finished off with a work out at the Peak!! I hope you have a great week! I cannot believe it is the last week in Feb.!

The Birds and the Bees. . .well kinda

No pictures today, just had to share with ya a funny story. Okay I totally wasn't ready for the big talk about babies, and the place where it happened well I guess I should have seen it coming. We brought TT our newest family member in for her last puppy shots. I told the front office lady that I wanted to have her spayed - so I guess Lil Man heard me because when we got into the room he asked, mom what does spayed mean? Alright, well taking her parts out so that she couldn't have babies wasn't good enough. He kept asking well can she still have puppies and how do they grow, and well for the love of Pete. . . so we got out the book in the vet clinic (luckily they had a dog anatomy one there) talked about all the parts and how the babies grow- and well the list goes on. Where was Ike when I really needed him. So needless to say TT is having a hysterectomy next Wed. Spayed I think the girl needs a little more credit than that, she is having it all taken out! So parents be warned-it can happen anytime, probably when you least expect it! I hope you are having a great week!

Happy Presidents Day

Happy Presidents Day and Monday to you all.
Just a few cards to start the week. A random set of supplies was used-but I love these color combinations.
Today is a busy day-little man is off, so he and my lil love are playing. The last I heard they were setting up and obstacle course for the dogs. Lil love is happy to have her brother home to play with for just one more day. Both of them have been sick along with Ike, so they have been spending a lot of time together. I think the ear infections are almost gone, thanks to a great dose of antibiotics! We are going to run errands and maybe have lunch in town today. I hope you all have a great week.

buyolympia.com: QueenBee Creations These little wallets from Queen Bee Creations are my favorite. They hold credit cards, money and cash-they are the perfect wallet and I try to give them as gifts!
You can find them at buyolympia.com or google "queen bee wallets."
I hope you all had a great Valentines Day! The kids and I went to see, "The Pink Panther, " and then we all went to eat at Red Robin for dinner. We followed that with Dairy Queen.
Off to bed I think-it has been a busy week, and I need to catch up on some Z'S!
The picture of the chirp wallet is off to the right of this post-sorry it is kind of hard to see due to the busy nature of this blog background paper!

Great Weekend!!

This past weekend we went to Spokane to watch the Zags play! We had a blast.
I am deathly afraid of flying in little planes but this time it was a little different. We flew in a jet and it was so fun-smooth and no problems, the only downfall-no potty-but it was only a 34 minute flight!
We ate at PF Changs, and Franks Diner, Cyrus O'Learys and had a great time with our friends Joley and Ray! It was really sad that the Zags lost-but we did have a great time!
The kids had a ton of fun with Nana and Papa! They always enjoy spending time with them!
I hope you have a great week. This Friday is our schools Valentine Carnival and the kids both have parties this week, so it should be a busy one.

Melissa Phillips Card Challenge

Just a lil card for Melissa Phillips Card Challenge. I loved the colors and the flowers were a lot of fun to work with. I used mostly Bazzill Cardstock, and flowers from Stampin up and Joanns felt flowers (dollar section.)
Lil love and I worked on her Valentines today. We are off to swimming lessons-I hope you are all having a great week!

A few new cards. . .

I hope you all had a great weekend. Great Superbowl game yesterday-even though I was cheering for Arizona.
Just a few cards that I have been working on! I love cards and it is a great way to use my scraps.
Lil love and I are off to the accountants office and to run a couple of errands-before we have to pick lil man up from school. I hope you have a great week!

New Years Resolution

Part of my "New Years Resolution," was to make lil love new curtains and pillows for her room. My mom bought her a new duvet cover for her birthday and she and I went and picked out material for curtains, and pillows-it was a ton of fun-the great part was I made the curtains, four pillows, and a cover for her nightstand all for $25- I was really excited and she loves her new room.
I am going scrapbooking tonight for the first time in a long time with Stacie and Amber-going to work on Valentines Day cards- I can't wait-
I think we are going to watch the superbowl at home-and other than that just doing stuff around the house this weekend!
I hope you all have a "Happy Friday!"

Finally some pictures!!!

Okay Kaylene they are finally here-we took our annual Valentines pictures tonight and here is what my little love dressed TT up in. Griz pretty much likes her. When he wants to get away he just climbs to the top of the couch. She cannot get there "yet." My little love, loves to dress up her TT-she got a lot of cute things for her hair from Auntie for Christmas, and she got a gift card to Petsmart and she bought clothes for her. Tonight was interesting with two kids and two dogs taking pictures-it was a lot of fun actually-I had to bribe the kids with a Hershey's Bar so I can tell they are getting out of the excitement of taking picture days-They had a blast with the dogs-and pretty much forgot about the candy bars-
This weekend was a lot of fun-we went skiing both Fri and Sat- little man didn't have school on Fri-
My dad took the kids on Sat afternoon so that Ike and I could ski-He actually took them ice-fishing and my lil love caught the first and only fish!! She was excited.
My skiing day wasn't so good-we were skiing on the backside of Discovery and I was going to get on the chair and somehow my ski caught an edge just as the chair was picking me up-it ripped my legs back and my skis both came out from under me-Ike said I was lucky they came off or I would have been pulled under the chair and probably knocked out-needless to say that was the last run-my legs should have been stretched out a couple inches. We had a lot of fun skiing together, we don't get to do that often. I hope you all have a great week.

yes I am still here. . .

I am so sorry-I have gotten calls that I am MIA-I have been gone on vacation and them really busy with work and end of the year stuff-
A lot has happened since I last posted-we added a new member to our family. We finally got TT-I will post pictures later. We went to Maui for Christmas for 9 days-and then I have been really busy completing a few scrapbooks-working-and taking care of the family.
I also cleaned out our horendous (sp?) hallway closet full of things that were cluttering it up and you could barley open the door-I should have taken before and after pictures-I am slowly working through the house cleaning out things. Little Man's room was a huge project. See he is just like my mom-(the both keep EVERYTHING!!!) I think pack rat is a genetic disorder that my son has inherited. Everything means SOMETHING to him-papers from school, projects from preschool, and old little trinket toys-let me tell you I went to town while he was at school last week. We have been busy at work with the new year-and the kids started swimming lessons two times a week, and oh yes-through skiing in there-and helping out at school. I am not trying to justify my absence-just say I am sorry and I promise I will get better! I hope you are all having a Happy New Year!! I will post pictures soon!

Here are a couple samples from the Kit of the Month!!!
Go Griz-only two more days until the National Championship-
Okay I seriously had another one of my mornings again. We usually wake up at 6:30 to leave at 7:30-at 7:11 my lil love says mommy-that sound is driving me crazy! It is my little love talking about the alarm that went off at 6:20 and was still going off!!
After I wake lil man up and get everyone going-I go into the bathroom(I showered the night before and I put these new little hot rollers in my hair) well I took them out and oh my it looks like I had a standard poodle sitting on my head-my kids were laughing so hard-lil man said, "mom you aren't going to my Christmas Concert like that tonight are you?" (I think I will do this to him again when he is 16-and really show up like that)-
So needless to say we made it out the door(without my cell phone and baby Jesus-for the Christmas play) but that is alright I have all the kids, mine and the Hollenback kids(who are now laughing at my hair too) The traffic was horrible and we were late to school and to work by about 15 minutes(I think my boss is going to fire me-if this keeps happening.) I can't believe how tired I have been-I think it was due to the lack of sleep and 15 dozen cookies I made the night before!!! I hope you all have a great night!

Kit of the Month - Creating Keepsakes

Hello world meet TT

It has been so busy-I am sorry I haven't posted-thank you for those of you who still read my blog and there is nothing there!!!
The pictures are of my lil love and Griz walking today-she loves him so much! For her bday we surprised her and let her pick out a new puppy, she chose a girl (of course to even out the score in our house) and she named her TT. She will be ready the first part of January. She and Griz have such a great time, and she really takes good care of him. He usually runs all around the neighborhood-so I wonder what was going through his little mind while she was walking him around in circles in the cul-da-sac (sp?) I have also posted a picture of TT. She is 4 wks old and 1.7 lbs.
Lil man got the experience of a lifetime when the man who sits next to us at the Griz Games had passes on the field. He asked the kids if they would want to go-lil love said she will go when she is six-I think she thought that she had to run out of the tunnel with the team (gosh I would be scared too, I think I would get trampled!!)
So the boys went down and got to watch everyone coming through the tunnel-his four favorite senior players came over and gave him a high five and a hug-Rob, Colt, Colin and Andrew!! The Griz are down to the Final Four and they play the James Madison Dukes on Friday night at 6:00-I was watching them on the internet and they look tough-But I have complete faith in our team and know we can do it!!! GO GRIZ!!!
The last picture is of our Christmas Tree upstairs-real downstairs and artificial upstairs-!!!
Today I spent most of the day baking and making carmel corn (yummy!!!)
I hope you are all having a good holiday and remember to tune into ESPN 2 for the GRIZ / DUKES game Friday night!

A Great Weekend

We had such a great weekend-One of my favorite this year! The Carrie Underwood Concert was amazing. We didn't realize how good our seats were until we got there. They were right next to the stage-in reaching distance-It was so fun-especially when she sang-"Paradise City."
Last Thurs we had our annual griz dinner and the kids had a blast-they had never met Tyler Corwin or Chase Reynolds before and so they were way excited-my friend Krista tied up a bunch of Griz blankets and we gave them to them. We had steaks and twice baked potatoes and they were yummy-
The griz game on Saturday was awesome! I went and got our playoff tickets today-My little love stood in line with me for an hour and a half to get our tickets!!! I cannot wait until Sat-but there is a lot of shopping to do before then!!
Sunday was Church-then the kids went to a family friends house to play and Ike and I went on a date to Breakfast at Pauls! That evening we went to see Santa and Laurie Lanes Studio-She takes pictures of the kids with Santa-and 5 x 7's are only $10-When we left there my little man said-thanks for bringing us there mom-!! It was much better than the mall!
I have been making little recipe christmas treat books-This paper is using the PAPER-TREY ink line of paper and I love it! I hope you all have a great week and a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Busy Bag Lady. . .

I go through these "spurts"-sewing, then card-making, then scrapbooking-I probably should add house cleaning in there somewhere-but why it's over-rated anyway right???
These are a few of the bags I have been sewing latley-
Griz have their last big regular season home game against the cats this weekend! It should be a ton of fun! My husband and I are going on a date Friday night-we are going to go to Red Robin for dinner and then the Carrie Underwood Concert after that-It should be a fun weekend! Can't wait-and it is only Monday!
