another mini










if you hadn't noticed...i'm a little addicted to making mini albums these days. such a fun way to try new things.
life is crazy as always. work, take of kids, clean house. i actually got to scrap with shelly for a few hours on saturday. i made cards for work, she made awesome layouts for SweetSpuds cause she's on the design team.
max is in full spring training for travel baseball. he's going to the be the starting catcher this year and cannot wait for the season to begin. coop is continuing his karate lessons. (promise to pose a pic of him in his darling outfit) he is taking it very serious and has gotten a few tips towards his yellow belt. he is also playing soccer this spring. we will see how it goes. last time i enrolled him on a soccer team it didn't go so well. he was three and was not real crazy about the pushing and kicking. he gave us the "you gotta be joking" look. emmitt has been gargling with green listerene hoping that it turns him into the green goblin. when he's not occupied with potions, he is riding his bike and eating mini marshmallows. he has also made me watch alvin and the chipmunks 20 times this week which has turned my brain completely into mush.
steve is looking at new cars like it is his full time job. i could care less as long as it gets me there and has satellite radio!

i got this new cricut cartridge today. i've been hoarding a rewards card from Cord for months and finally found something to use it on. w0-hoo. can't wait to use it.
i've been so busy it makes my head spin. i haven't had time to scrap in 2 weeks and i'm getting kinda cranky about it. baseball/track season has started for max. coop is playing soccer. emmitt just wants to ride his bike and make black potion (water w/ food coloring) that turns him into Venom.
anyone want to clean my house Saturday so I can scrap?

keeping busy

My first project for the Scrapping Spot!
Their April kit features Dream street Papers.












I got to go to the Scrapbook Expo in Columbus Friday to help host the Crop and work at the Easton sotre on Saturday. Very fun. Ran into Susie who owns ScrapHappy. She had the best booth at the show by far. ScrapHappy will be at the Novi MegaMeet as well. Be sure to check her store out if you are ever in the Clyde or New Reigel area.

my pet Frank



when we decided to adopt a puppy last june, i was petty nervous. i was 38 years old and had never actually had a dog before!

i am happy to report that after 10 months of living together...i wouldn't trade him for anything. sure, he has gas. and he ate my blue slippers yeaterday. (he'll chew anything. serious.) he spends the first 10 minutes of every morning licking my face. he steals the kids toys and makes them scream. but he also loves all of us so much. he knows my husband steve is in charge but somehow he knows i'm the momma and chooses to snuggle with me whenever I sit on the couch. i never knew i could love a dog like this.

(this is my new page for the this is me challenge - hope you like it!) Laina

now he is four




















my little guy turned four today. he has changed so much this past year. turning from toddler to preschooler.

things i want to remember about emmitt:
~tells everyone his name is Bruce Wayne
~loves chocolate milk and diet coke
~carries around fake money, coins and jewels
~hides beanie baby dogs in my kitchen cabinets
~can't say the "L" sound so he "woves" me
~loves to gargle w/ mint Listerine!
~sneaks in my bed every morning around 5am
~hates the top button on his jeans
~watches the Backyardigans way too much
~talks in a deep voice when he's playing bad guys
~says "YOU understand?!" when i'm not listening
~can sing to Toytaker song from Rudolph
~will sit in the bath for over an hour
~loves to do monkeys on the bed every night

i wish i could freeze time and keep him this way a little longer.
