saving babies..

Here is my goal for the next month, I am participating in the March of Dimes Walk America to raise money for premature babies. On April 28 I am walking for 6 miles here in the Cedar Valley. I have set up a web page for any online donations from any of you generous bloggers and scappers. To see my personal page for the walk and my goal, visit my my Walk America page by clicking on the link. Thank you bunches!

getting ready.

Okay so I know it is a little early for our trip, so I am using this altered folder for papers and the notebook as a planner. Both are from 5 Star. I love how they turned out and can't wait to use them! Walt Disney World here we come in winter 2007..

Sunday March 18th

Two more photos to share from last Sunday the 18th. Jason in his daddy's hat at the Bass Pro Shop in Cedar Bluffs, Iowa and then again, being himself in Ashland, Nebraska. And let me tell you, my camera and I are so in sync right now I am LOVING it, all my photos just have had the perfect touch lately. Thank you, Cannon, for making this possible. Enjoy your weekend.
Ps-I Love this Kid!

saint patricks day

Well here is my dearest son and that face that shows up in EVERY photo! We set up a small photo shoot on St. Patty's day and here are my fave three! I got some more good serious face shots too, but these take the cake! Later.

3 layouts and things i love..

So here are three layouts that I did yesterday! All fun and about the kids..and I wanted to share some things I am loving right now, here goes: 1. ek success mini abc's 2. all Ki paper lines 3. snap frame abc stamp set by Autumn Leaves 4. walgreens 24 double prints for $5.99 5. old photos to scrap, I am focusing on older photos from 03-06 right now. And one thing I am not lovin right now is that I am still trying to get this new computer all figured out and still need to learn how to resize my photos and layouts, so I can email them and so they will be sharper when I post..Grrrrrr!! Happy Friday Folks! -M

failed fisherman.

A new page from yesterday titled "failed fisherman" Journaling reads: the story behind this photo of the failed fisherman, i guess that when you have three other peoples' hooks to bait and cast and rebait and recast again, not including your own, well i guess that means you just don't get much time to fish for yourself. but i hope you know that you mean the world to us for taking time to "bait our hooks" first. thank you, we all love you very much. fathers day june 18, 2006.

Seriously we had a great time, but the hubby was way annoyed with us all, and was the only one not to catch a fish, while we all stood around catching multiple fish (which he also had to free from the line) I refuse to touch a live fish or worm..yuck! So the title is just a little humor and no pun on the hubby what so ever, more of a thank you.. and a we love you for always baiting our hooks first.

simple sunday.

That's how my day was, simple. I loved it! We were up early and out the door by nine for church, Jason went to children's church and I enjoyed service with no interruptions :) Then it was out to lunch. Followed by some secondhand shopping, where we found brand new Thomas trains for $5! After that we came home to change into sweats and we loaded up Jason's bike and drove over to the nature/river trail and he rode while I got in a jog. The weather was great here today! Back home, I cleaned and vacuumed the van while Jason enjoyed whats left of the melting snow. Later a quick trip to Walmart for fresh veggies and cough syrup (insert cough here) where I was carded in order to buy it! Geeeeeshhh!! And then a stop at the game store where I decided that I needed a Sega, an ancient antique! So we bought some games (really cheap) and tomorrow I will call around to pawn shops to hunt one down if my mom can't find one. Whewww!! That's alot of jabberin, huh? Did I mention CSI was on all day? Have a good night! (Photo is from this month.)

Puddle.

A new page from today with photos from this month. My son found a puddle, need I say more?

new pages..

Woohooooo! More layouts to share:) The top is my mother's dog, our family pet, and she is chubby, overweight and just the cutest thing ever. This was an old photo that I had from feb. 2006, found it and scrapped it today. It always feels good to get a photos out of the older piles. And I used a new Autumn Leaves stamp that I bought months ago. The bottom LO photo is from 2004 and I have scrapped it before, but wanted to do it again. Love it and miss those curls..

this kid cracks me up..

I got this photo back today from the developers, LOVE IT! That face! Anyway not much to post about. I am still working on my new computer and getting all my files transferred over and working with my new Corel Paint Shop Pro and trying to get the hang of it. This is the 1st image I have put on the new computer. So I'll keep you posted and lots new projects to share :) Later.
