Almost the end of the sweet summer days....

so I am really looking forward to getting back to seeing all my girls from class, but it is also kind of bittersweet.... we all know that fall will be upon us in no time and it really is kind of sad... you gotta love summer.... yes I have been taking advantage of it to the fullest... I have been doing only the 'bare' minimum in my house... which means as little as possible.... but somehow because it is summer it is alright! Life as I know it will change....
as of next week Shar is back in school so that means that between Manda and myself we will take care of little Miss Ella while she is at school!
I know this will be hard on her but I am so excited for her to start this new chapter in her life.... move on to so much more.... be a  better person because of what she is willing for..... as hard as it will be, it will all be worth it! Just wanted to share a photo and of course the layout.... I promise to send the details to the scrapyard tomorrow!

Little Miss Ella Belle.... we did a little photo shoot of the kids today... to see more

Love this layout.... love, love, love the paper from Authentique!
Enjoy the next few days of sunshine!
Until the next time....

Happy Birthday and some faves....

Where in the world does the time go? Yesterday I felt like i was having my number 4 child and today Cole is 18.... like honestly I don't know where it goes.... makes me feel like I can't take even one day for granted... i want to enjoy every moment.... there are days that I don't want to enjoy and days that I don't want to remember but I do know that as time goes by, especially when you are a parent to a teenager....i will forget... I will forget about the sleepless nights and the back talk and so on.....

and we will love them anyways....

then I will just remember the sweet moments, the moments that made my heart melt.... and really that is all that will matter....

now if I could just get through the next few years.....lol Happy Birthday Cole, love you!!!!

 These three little munchkins are so adorable! They enjoyed freezies together on the front porch and everything was perfect until Kade thought Ella might like to share.... because after all his was finished and what girl cousin wouldn't want to share with her sweet darling little boy cousin? Too funny, however she was rather stressed! lol

 a fun, fabulous day to Calaway park and ALL my darling were there... I was so excited that I had to get a picture.... maybe not a technically perfect picture since the sun was so bright but it is totally perfect in my eyes....

COle and Manda went on this ride... Cole tried to take Ella with him, however she kept jumping out before the ride even started so he went all by his lonesome....lol

Sweet little Kianna.... she doesn't like my lens staring at her so we have to have pics like this.....

Manda and Shawn.... They are great buds....now.....lol Love you both!

Shay and Kianna, she loves the babies!

Picture overload again but I have thoroughly enjoyed all the moments that we have all shared this summer and know that it won't last too much longer....then it will be back to work and fall will be upon us.... kind of sad....but inevitable.... Enjoy the last few weeks before the kids are back to school.... I know I will....
and imagine only one in school this year! Yeeeeee hawwwwww!

Until next time,

Lynn

Sweet summer days.....
(picture overload! sorry!)

okay I know its hot at night....but....you gotta love the sweet, hot days of summer.... love them so much that I really don't want to wish them away!!!
Life has been sweet.... birthday partys, cousins visits.... days at the beach, rileypark,cousins visits....(you know who you are....!)
 calaway park and so on it has been awesome! Even managed to get in a day with a good friend! Love summer! Had to share a few pics that have been my faves the last few days!

the pat few weeks have been so filled with so man things.... good and bad.... the bad has been made good....i think....

while summer has been so good, life manages to throw a few little things in there to create a bit of a disturbance.....
My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.... so while the news was bad and scary at the same time his test results this weeek showed that it hasn't spread so a deep sigh of relief......

Ok I am sorry... but there are so many pictures lately that I love... that tell the tale of my summer memories..... Love the memories, the phots that tell a story! recently I had cousins her from scotland and she posted her photos on Facebook..... her photos told the story of her tow weeks here in Canada.... I Love that.....

I am teaching my first photoshop class at the scrapyard tomorrow and I can hardly wait! i am so excited..... for those of you in it I will see yo tomorrow and for those of you that aren't....yep you might want to check it out... if there is interest I just might teach it again....

Hope you all have a fabby weekend....

until next time....
