I killed it...

my camera, that is. :(



It's at the doctor now. Please keep Bessie in your prayers. I dropped it Sunday morning, and it won't even turn on anymore. Boo.



In more positive news, had a fantastic time this weekend! Yay! Fun with shopping, eating, drinking, eating,

lots of laughs..

got the rest of the pics here.... although I didn't really take many, other than keeping tabs on Brandy's drinking apparently. :)

..clearing out the memory card...

for this weekend, when I find these lovely photos.... the things people do to amuse themselves when you're sleeping... :P Sneaky Brent!

Have an awesome weekend- I know I will! Girl's weekend here I come!

You know that saying...

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family?

I'm sure glad I can pick my friends. thanks for that. :)

Just Wings...

This is for the first challenge at Scrapfaith, a new blog that just started. The first challenge was to scrap about your roots... and I don't have any to speak of. My mom gave me my baby book a few years back, and when this challenge came up, I went digging in it to find some roots. As I turned to 'religious upbringing' I found it blank, along with a cigarette (or other questionable item) burn in the middle of it. lol... doesn't that just sum it up? :P Anyways, this is what I came up with...

Happy Happy Birthday Brandy!!

The fabulous Brandy is 2-8 today! :P Hope the coming year is the best ever for you!! xoxo Smooches!

cute lil' booger...

I was. :P

Scrounging around for some ideas for an upcoming layout for Scrapfaith.

Rummaging through some old pics, and came across this one... good to know I've always been chubby....

Do you ever wonder about those weird backgrounds they used at Kmart back in the days?

Really? You want to look like you perched your baby at the edge of a cliff overlooking water all by herself? Great! We've got the perfect backdrop for you- it even has this awesome astroturf we can have her sit on to really help with the effect!

And I love the awesome orange/red hue all my baby pictures are. I was a shedevil at any age before five.

Reveal day at Scraplovers!

Go check out the fabulous layouts! Great stuff from American Crafts, Dream Street, Ranger and Strano!

This month's theme is 'angles' so Anne and I decided to get a little specific for the first reveal and do one layout from the perspective of one of our pets, and the other from the perspective of an inanimate object.

Miss Muffin...

is two. and full of life. Love this babe of mine. She brings a sense of humor to everything in our lives. you can't help but crack up at her and her antics. gotta love toddlers.

Headed out to par-tay for Labor Day tomorrow! Yay! Okay, so not really that much, since kids will be around, but Rita and Jim rented a party barge for the afternoon, and it holds 50, has a slide, and grill on it. Should be fun! I'm making bacon wrapped stuffed japs, and a 'dessert'. I decided for my dessert to marinate watermelon in some Malibu Rum. :)

Happy Labor Day!
