First Day Of Preschool

and it is finally mine!

Wohooooooohoooooooooo!! This is my new camera!! I just got it today, but have been drooling over it for quite some time now.. AND this is just in time for Jason's first day of pre school which is tomorrow! This is my new "I bought you a boat so you can buy me a new toy too" payback from my hubby, although he did know that if we got the boat, I got the camera. I Just thought with the twins coming and the price of film plus developing for photographing 3 kids non-stop, digital just might be the way to go, ya know?

So this is a 10.1 Cannon Rebel EOS XTi. We got an extra battery pack, filter lens, battery charger pack, a shoulder strap and a 2 gig card and a very large camera bag to house both my Cannons when not in use. We also opted for the 4 year warranty, which covers accidents and pure studipity :) I plan to order another lens (the 50mm 1.08) but no biggie for now. This is soooooo exciting! Back to the manual..

a new something.

Just a little something for today.. a new project! Today I was inspired by Marci Lambert. So here is what I did.. not sure what I am going to do with it.. BUT whatever it is for, it is for Me. It is a 4x8 album with all black pages and one sheet 12x12 pattern paper, Voila! -Hugs!

i got mail.

Totally LOVE getting mail, and this beautiful package came today! It is from my best friend ever.. sooooooo THANKS Bell!

Also got Jason a haircut before preschool starts on Monday! Too Cute, sooooo handsome.. Not the best photo, somebody was uncooperative. Go figure :)

just from today.

WOW! Major work progress done today! Four layouts and another small page project! LOST is a total lift from Paperjax from over at 2peas and My Little Boy journals are from Whendeeb also at 2peas, gotta be inspired, Thanks Ladies! And as usual these scans are horrible, but try to enjoy them anyway! Four layouts in one day is more than I did over the last two months combined!! later :)

family photo op.

Daddy was able to snap this quick photo of Jason and I this evening. Unfortunately the hubby was also cooking BBQ, so you can see a smoky haze in the photo. Still better than usual.

More excitement: I am 22 weeks pregnant today, 5 and half months..wohoooo! Next check up in September 4th. We have also finished the babies registry, email me if you still need the link.

Jason's preschool starts next Monday. And he will also start soccer practice with in the next week too.. So many changes for such a little guy! Growing up fast.. Later.

and one more thing.

Just a small project from 2peas that I just finished throwing together, and although I loved it, I am glad it is out of my never ending pile of "things to finish up." It's just random pages with phrases to start all that creativity mojo that is "suppose" to be somewhere inside me.. back to work.

flashback.

Just wanted to share this old photo (this is a horrible scan, click photo to enlarge to see a little better) It is from November 2002 when I was 7 months pregnant with Jason. The hubby and I had an army ball to go to, and I found this dressed at a bridal shop for like 100 bucks, but had to have it altered to fit that big belly.. so by the time I was done with all the alterations, the final bill was like $220 bucks! Ouch.. and I only wore it once for a few hours!! But damn, I looked good!! Anyway enjoy the flashback-

krispy kreme machine.

from yesterday afternoon, a nice midday donut delight :) Yumm! We love hot fresh Krispy's so yesterday afternoon, I suggested a quick trip to ours. Jason had two chocolate "American" sprinkled ones (as pictured above, all over his face.) The are red, blue and white sprinkled so he refers to them as American..

random excitment.

Had a great day out with the family! Found some great deals at Once Upon a Child, a second hand store, including these winter suits for $7.50 each, retail must of been $30 each! I was also able to buy 5 more matching sleepers too. How neat that I can find random matches at a second hand store!

Also got in touch with a MOM, mothers of multiples group here in SC and will attend a meeting next week with other expectant twin moms. AND even more fun news, they are having a multiples garage sale with all twin stuff in a couple weeks!! There should be some good deals there..

We are also in the process of getting a registry together online so that shipping won't be any problems for all our out of state friends and family.. I am basically just registering for clothing, blankets and smaller purchases anyway. More to come on that later.

We are headed out for ice cream, I am getting chocolate : ) until tomorrow.. Peace.

the top secret envelope.

this is how i feel

Seriously Happy! Ecstatic! I am sooooooo excited about adding 2 more BOYS to my family! I am looking forward to being a mom of three boys. Yes, scary I know. Anyway Jason made this "craft" yesterday at our public library. He sure loves glue sticks! And this is how I am feeling this morning, so I thought I'd share this to brighten your day! -Later.

love this cowboy.

Seriously, is this kid not cute?? And those eyes? Click to enlarge the photo and those eyes POP! Found these in an old photo album from 2004. He was two and this was in Nebraska. Gosh, I just wanna pinch those cheeks!! These are just scans.. later.

it's twin boys..

That's right! Two more boys on the way! We just found out today at 20 weeks and 2 days, and they are both still growing at the same rate and measuring perfect.. SO I just had to run out and buy some blue things! Unfortunately I found LOTS to buy but none in the same sizes, except these!! We are going shopping again tonight when the hubby gets home.. Jason is sooooooo very exciting to have two baby brothers on the way! All Happy and Healthy here! Later : )

OMG, I am scrapping!

Okay, so I decided to start playing along with OLW and here is my first page. It's a little smaller than a 5x7 page to fit in a blank journal.. thought I'd do small pages and put them all together in a book. I will post the cover later.. Next word is: Stop. There are 5 more words to do to catch up.

Then here is a page with no title. It is from July 4, 2005.. I know, a few years behind huh?? Oh well, it happens.. also have a couple more projects to post later!! And of course I must apologize for these scans, Grrrrrrrrr!! Not sure how to work my new photo editing program. Maybe someday. -Chow.
