Argh!

I'm finally editing all the photos I've taken over the past few weeks. Party after party. That's what summer is all about. Here's the hightlights of Coop's Pirate Party he had for his 6th birthday. The boys spent the day on the waterslide and trampoline. Their favorite part of the day was Steve's obstacle course and pirate sword battle.

I have to work this weekend. I've had lots of time off lately so no complaints. It just limits my late night scrap time. :)

vacation?

I'm off work June 30-July 7...but really sure it's a vacation! I have been so incredibly busy catching up on "things." Paying bills, taking care of medical forms and appointments. Our 2 year old BRAND spankin new frig conked out and I'm have a war with LG to repair it. Come on. Appliances shoud last 15 years, not 2! Max's 13th birthday is Tuesday and Steve's 40th is on Wednesday. Two huge parties here plus the July 4th holiday. Complete crazy fun!
Here's my work from the PaperJamStudio July Kit. Sadly this will be my last month on the Design Team. I have agreed to join another team and doing more would be way too much for this working girl...

boring blog - crazy life

i have concluded that i am probably the world's most boring blogger. i never seem to have enought time or energy to update this "daily" log of my life. if i could blog in my car between practices or games then I might have a shot at keeping this thing current.

cooper turned 6 on Friday. Steve and I threw an all out crazy fun Pirate party complete with trampoline, water slide, obstacle course, water balloons and sword fights. i am completely out of my mind and let coop invite 11 boys.

now I get to plan Max's 13th and Steve's 40th. whew.

here are my pages for the July Kit at the Scrapping Spot. fun paper from Momento in Canada.

June is Here!

HOO-ray! The sun and warm weather arrived in Cleveland today. Somehow my four and five year old children found out that our community pool had it's Grand Opening for the official start of Summer. I got off work and found myself at the pool by 6:00pm. Those little bugs didn't even care that the water was COLD. They were determined to be there on the first day.

Baseball season in full swing which means very little scrapping time for me...but well worth the fun family times and TONS of photos to scrap when summer has passed. Max is playing on 2 teams again this year. His travel team to learn/compete and his rec team to have fun/just play with a group of friends. The boy honestly loves the game and literally has a game or practice 6 out of 7 days of the week.

Cooper's soccer team has another playoff game on Tuesday. If they win, they go to the championship. His Coach Pitch Baseball starts on Monday. He's telling everyone that he's a beast at baseball. I'll keep you posted. Emmitt starts TBall later in June. Right now he's pretty occupied with riding his Jeep and eating 10 popsicles a day.

So what have I been doing besides laundry and work??? Getting the huge privledge of being the Guest Designer for Work In Progess Kits for June! Here's what I came up with for Trish...

Her kits are phenomenal. I can't believe how much fresh, quality and inspiring products that are in her kits. Check out her site and blog frequently. Trish and her design team always have great new ideas to inspire.

I also made a clear mini album for WIP but I'll have to post it later!
