Finally Grad arrived!
feels like these grde 12 students plan their whole 12th grade around grad! Gotta love the excitement! I was so excited for Sharla, watching her with the whole ceremony and planning the event and wht they would be doing and so on! Loved every minute of it! Congrats Shar I LOVE you! Shawn was home for the weekend and as always makes the weekend very exciting! Ver busy and noisy..... and I really love the noise, i don't like it when there isn't noise! (i am talking about 'fun' noise!) Miss him so much when he isn't at home though! Just wanted to share a few of Shars Grad pics..... Her grad date is one of Shawns friends and he has been around our house for a long time!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and remember it is word up on Wednesday!

I LOVE this quote.... and how true it is, reflecting on our 'present blessings'It is word up at OLW! It is my turn this time and I chose the word 'REFLECT'....
So often lately I feel as though I am reflecting on the past and experiences that haven't been good ones..... Really though what I should be doing is reflecting on my present blessings.... the things that matter right now!
Have a great Wednesday everyone and go over to OLW and check us out!

April.......hmmmmm
what is with this crazy weather???? I keep thinking that it is spring and then we get snow! Well they are calling for nice and warm by the weekend so hope that is what it is! Just got back from Vegas and they only had one nice hot sunny day too so we didn't get to enjoy too much sun! Great shopping though! Shawn was home 2 weeks ago too so managed to get a really fast family pic.... didn't turn out too bad considering it was really quick! Told everyone to hurry and cram on to the deck and this is what we got! And of course I have to show you the latest picture of Kade, sweet little thing that he is! We sure missed him when we were gone.... well actually missed everyone so glad we are back! Back to the grind, three classes in the next 2 weeks as well as the Spring Thing on the 2nd of May! Crazy busy!( if you re interested in the Spring thing, let me know there are still a couple of spots! For those of you waiting for the layout for next weeks class, I should have it posted by Friday! (i hope!)
How cute is he! He is growing so fast!
and of course my OLW layout! If you haven't checked it out make sure you do! So much fun and great prizes too! Stay warm everyone! Have a great day!

Hey ladies!
How are things with everyone? Right now I am looking out of my studio window to about 5 feet of snow... it is slowly melting but have I mentioned how sick and tired of this yucky weather I am???? I know you are all tired of it too.... maybe since tomorrow is the first day of April it will get better, here's hoping! So Miss Karla tagged me on her blog.... I am supposed to go the photos forlder on my computer, go to the 7th folder, then go the 7th picture and post it with a description.... so here goes....a picture of Kade and Cole! Cole loves Kade so much it is so cute! Love it! I m supposed to tag 7 people..... and since I don't like to tag anyone just play along if you like!
and this is my new dress, how cute is this! Love it! Hopefully it looks this cute on me!
Have a great day everyone!

It is so not Spring...... yet......
and I am not even going to comment on the spring like conditions until there is no forecast of snow! I really should know better by now! Yikes! It is snowing here like crazy today..... great day to scrapbook though..... but I think my house better get cleaned up first! It is word up over at OLW..... the word is 'ready' awesome word.....Sharla is about to graduate and turn 18....where did the time go.....I can hardly believe that my third kid is about to turn 18! She is so excited about the next phase of her life that the word was very fitting for her this time around! Go over and check out what the rest of the design team came up with! Great layouts on there!


This cute boy got his first tooth yesterday! He is just so sweet! Love him to pieces!We did a little picture taking on Friday and had lots of fun, got some great shots of the girls and Kade too of course....
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
