What timing.....
thinkin back to Thursday, my last shabby chic class until September, kind of sad I know but trust me girls if it was hot outside right now you would all be thanking me! Monday will seem weird though when there is no packaging to be done and no layout to be completed.... however did i mention I haven't done my taxes yet? I know bad me but the government knows me and they are so used to me by now I am NEVER, EVER on time.... and besides you were all so much more important! lol on that note have i told you about my grandbabies? No well let me tell you about them.... Kade our sweet little prince was here on Thursday when Manda and Cody were at the hospital.... I had my last class to teach at noon and worried about going but Sharla and Gabe were here so I knew everything was under control.... Kade loves it here and i knew that he would be well taken care of... when Cody called at 11:30 to tell me Kianna had arrived, i was torn and wondered.... should I be going? however Manda called just shortly after and assured me she was feelin great, go and teach my last class and come up to the hospital after that! Great class, although all the girls in that class could do the layout blindfolded I am sure! it was kind of a joke for the last few months that if Kianna could just hold off making her entrance until I was done with my classes it would be so great and she did.... such a little doll! Here are a few of my faves for this time around.....


Kianna Rayne, 3 days old....


we were at Manda and Codys last night and we were all pretty much fighting over who got to hold her next.... i so didn't win.....i will be grateful for Monday....however Shawn mentioned he will be home and don't get any crazy ideas that i will have her all to myself......
Until next time....

This is what I woke up to....
so three months ago we were at a chinese restaraunt and this is what my fortune cookie said.... I kind of that it was a bit funny so I put in my phone and then forgot about it.... last week I remembered and then thought....hmmmmm i wonder if there is anything to that little fortune....
Yep there sure was! Manda and Cody and have been waiting for the arrival of this sweet little pumpkin!
Introducing Kianna Rayne Geck.....8lbs 15 ozs... she was born today at 9:30.... Manda and Cody arrived at my house this morning at 7 and had her by 9:30... Mom and baby are doing great!
Until the next time.....

Just wanted to share.....
i don't have much to share this week, unless of course you want to hear me ranting.... and I know that you don't.... so I will keep it all good.... k so while I have been at the store I have to say that It truly is THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH! Lori says that all the time and i really believe that! Enough said.... did I mention how much my kids have been fighting.... bickering.... and so on..... NO? okay nevermind I said I wouldn't start ranting! lol Actually I really just wanted to share a few pics that I LOVE! and I also have to share that one of them isn't the layout for next week... i know how bad is that but.... i do have a good excuse.... i forgot it at the store... GOOD ENOUGH? i hope so! ( if I have time I will try to pop in and grab it before Monday but please don't count on it!)

This little muffin turned 14 on the 7th and I am just now getting thse shots posted, BAD i know, however that is my life thse days and I know that it will get busier.... Manda is due on Sunday and I really don't see her gettin any lower or bigger! Crazy how big our bellies grow!

I really find it hard to believe that my "baby" is 14..... i have know idea where it has gone but it just is.... last night however.... I was thinking i would like to fast forward at least 10 years from now cause I was a tad bit upset, but today is a new day.... thank goodness!
I LOVE this shot of Manda and Kade.... just a really sweet tender moment..... i would LOVE to have those sweet moments back again..... no worries, our biggest concern????....potty training the two year old...or how we were going to get them to sleep cause we just took their soother away! how sweet it was....
and here is my darling big bellied girl( it truly is adorable!).... there is nothing to her anywhere else and her doctor tells her the baby is about 7 pounds.... not too big... I am so hoping that it isn't too much longer for her sake however for my sake I truly am hoping to be with all of you girls teaching next week at the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH.....
until next time....

Capturing a memory....


Captured :
to represent or record in lasting form,

Memory : the mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving facts, events, impressions, etc., or of recalling or recognizing previous experiences.

Capturing a memory......
Looking at this photograph and all I can think of is that particular moment embedded in my mind.... that picture perfect memory.... the laughing, the giggling, wondering who was stronger, wondering who could piggyback who....seeing who was tougher..... it's the giggling I can remember the most.....the sweet smiles, and no fighting.....some days I wonder if they will ever stop fighting, and then the next moment for maybe a moment, maybe even a day or two they are "besties"they really like each other a lot! I know that these moments won't last forever because my older kids really love each other, but everyday I just wonder... when will that day come? The day that they don't bicker so much, the day that they really LOVE each other.......the day that they just want to hang out, be buds.....
On Saturday after I did my photoshoot, Manda came and got some shots... I have been wanting to do it for so long..... just in case she went in to labour.... can you imagine? i would have been so disappointed! She is not a huge fan of the whole naked belly shot thing but didn't matter i still think it is so important for later on to have those shots of the sweet little life growing inside of you! this is what we came up with.... and of course had to get some of our sweet little Kade! This is her at 39 weeks......

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Mothers day!!
to all you moms out there!
what a great day today was.... actually it started last night when we had Shalainas birthday! (i will post pics of her later on in the week!) we had such a great day and an even better night! It started off with a photoshoot with Cynthia and her family! Had a great time, the kids were amazing and adorable to top it all off! here are a few sneak peeks for you to see!

This guy is just a natural! Loved him and anything I asked he was willing to do! Such a cutie!don't even have to say anything about this little peanut, she was just adorable!
and little Miss "H" was a little sweetheart too!
Had so much fun with you guys!

I also wanted to share next weeks layout as well! ALmost forgot! It's hard to believe we are down to a couple of classes left! Manda has two weeks left before our next little peanut is born! I can hardly wait!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
