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!
