Look at those curls!

Been snowing here like crazy!   Cold too.  Most likely 8 + inches.

Also wanted to mention that  yesterday my Dad has been gone 5 years.
Love and miss you everyday Dad.

I am so proud of my husband.  He has been on a weight loss journey and has to this point lost 40 lbs!!!! Yes 40. He has done so well and I am cheering for him and wishing I had lost that too.  He is so strong and on his way to a slim and sexy new body.

Hey there to anyone that is still bothering to "check" to see if I have posted anything.  Well here I am.

Life has been so busy and wonderful.  Kids, grandkids and life in general. A catch up of our year in pictures.
No crafting time...too busy

11-8-2011 post

Okay....so sit down. Yes I am posting. 
Busy busy time at our casa and I have been having MAJOR computer problems. Yes with the computer where all my pictures are loaded. 
So haven't posted.  Tried a few time but it was a major pain in the +++ and I just gave up and threw in the towel. 
I now  have gotten a few things up and running and so I'll try and be more regular about posting. 


Here is the low down on what has been happening in our lives. 


-HUGE busy summer starting with E's high school graduation. 
-Then our normal baseball summer.
-Back to school and E off to college at CU Boulder.
-Then baby shower for Diana.
-MIL had a BAD fall at work and was hospitalized for a week, then has been           recovering at home for a subdural hematoma. So I have to a lot of Dr apts and evaluation apt to see about her returning to work in the elementary school kitchen where she fell. 
-AND Yesterday we welcomed our new grand baby Cadence Marie. She was born at 4:14 pm 6 lbs 13 oz and 21" long.  She is just beautiful and Mom and baby are doing great and Daddy and big bro Degan are thrilled. Made a big typo on facebook and said 16 lbs!!***!!! Diana just laughed and said "Mom. one look at the picture and people know she doesn't weight 16 lbs!!!" Glad she had a good sense of humor about it.... I was so mortified by the typo and afraid she would be hurt but she just laughed.  Thank you God. 
So that is what's been happening. 
Now for photos:

Long time no see...write....

Sorry all,
 I know that you all are most likely ready to, if you haven't already given up on me.   But I am still alive and kicking.  Summer is a real busy time for our family.  Grandson Degan has been over daily for me to baby sit.  We have been busy getting Ethan ready to head to CU Boulder (August 18th).  Ethan is doing great...busy with a part time job and full load of classes.  It is nice that he is just up the road from us in Boulder.  He has been working just on the weekend and finds it easier to crash at our house and head to the job that back to campus. So we see him and his laundry most weekends.
We have a new grandbaby girl on her way and will arrive beginning of November.   So I have been planning a baby shower for this weekend. It is turning into a big event with lots of friends and family headed in from out of town.      So as you can see.......Life just keeps booking along.
I am adding my pinterest link so that you can at least check out what I am pinning on my boards.
Mostly baby shower stuff.   I will get some pictures of things that were created for the baby shower and get them on my blog.(in the VERY near future).
 I made 40 invitations,
Labeled H2O bottles with a cute poem of thanks to the guests. (thanks for the idea and tutorial Janelle Hayes!)  
I just finished up some candy pacifiers and will tackle candy coated pretzel rods and marshmallow baby with cute cupcake paper bonnets in the next two days  
We are serving egg quiche, veggies, bagels, a meat and cheese platters and spinach dip. We will have cake (with a baby hidden inside). We are having a favor buffet with all the candy things above. (Everything PINK of course.)  A few games and whew I'll be done.
I am really enjoying this whole baby girl thing.  My husband is very understanding and I think just a little sick of PINK candy everything. Did you know that they make PINK Whoppers!!!! They DO.  How great a find was that.  I am so glad to say that my daughter(actually step daughter, but you would never even know unless we tell you) is so much closer to my husband(her dad) and myself that when our grandson was born. We are so proud to her and her husband.  Great little family, that is growing by one.   I was hoping for twins but she was so relieved when the Dr said just one little girl.
Okay, I guess that is all I'll try and catch you up on.
Take care everyone and Say a prayer and drop by Janelle's blog http://www.showandtellblog.typepad.com/

Busy Month of May

I have been working right now on thank you note for my graduating son and a high school album that I have been working on.  Missed that deadline,as he graduated May 28th.  Been super busy with his graduation, company coming to town and 2 graduation parties.  We had a family party (fun) and then the Mom's of E's group of friends rented out the outdoor pavilion and had a HUGE party for the boys and ALL of their friends. That was just FANTASTIC!!!! Everyone had such a great time and we fed about 100+ people.  Kids were everywhere. Even a few friends that had graduated a year or two before showed up. We had a volleyball net. badmittion net, bean bag toss, footballs, Frisbee, board games etc. The party was from 3 to 8 and we finally encouraged people to leave when it got dark.  It was so cool to see the friends all together.  Tons of Pictures and great memories.  I think that there are quite a few life long friendship in the group.

That is why I have been MIA 

Cards and a page for High School Album

Just a few card that I had in my stash.

These  card are spring cards.

I used PTI stamps and dies. 

The first card uses Flower Fusion #1 stamps and die.

This card is using the PTI Sending You stamp set and die.
I used the stamp set to make the background paper.

A page for my son's high school album.  Documenting History.

My son also went to his Sr Prom so I will have to get those pictures developed and into the album.  Time is getting away from me.  I need to get a move on to get more pages done.

I just try and keep doing a page or two a day in hopes that I get most things done before graduation.
