Trina Beana

I just love this new kit by Tangie!  

I didn't write any words in this LO because I loved the symbolism I hid within it.  

Here are a few "HINTS" to figure them out.  

I want Katrina to know that she has the "KEY" to her every happiness, a "BLANK PAGE" to start fresh, with the "WINGS" she needs to get her there. She is a "PEARL" among pearls with the possibility to "GROW" beyond her imagination!  

I love you Trina Beana and hope you find everything you want in life, if not more!  

As Dad would say, Go get 'em! Love ya!

La Boheme

In December I had the privilege of going to The Orpheum Theatre to see Tyler's cousin, Lisanne Norman, in the Opera "La Boheme".  This is by far my all time FAVORITE opera!  I love the music, the story, it's simply gorgeous all around!  If you ever get the opportunity to see it, you must go!  Anyway, while we were there we ran into Cory from the FOX 10 morning show.  He was so nice, we had a fun conversation and of course I had to take a picture.  I'm finally getting to scrapping it.  Go HERE for Credits.

...and have a great day!

It could happen...

I mean it is the true church and all!

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious!  Fancy a chuckle too?

To Do...

But instead all I want to do is play with this sweet little boy!

& practice his new found trick!  Finally, it's starting to happen!

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Have a Good Day!  What's on your list today?

It's A ...

I know what my sister is having!!!  But I'll let her be the first to tell!  So very exciting!!  Can't wait to make a new Binky clip for the baby _ _ _ _!  Go HERE for the answer!

Chuck E Cheese

In February we went to Chuck E Cheese with my family for my mom's birthday party.  We had a very fun night with everyone and I've been meaning to post some of the pics from the evening but just put it into a LO instead.  

This is the amount of typing I have to do to make sure all the Credits get put in the correct order.  It takes me FOREVER to do it.  Just thought it would be fun to show everyone how I spend so many of my evenings. So look at this:

Journaling: Chuck E Cheese, We went to Chuck E Cheese for Ma Ro's Birthday party, you had so much fun on all the rides. Gigi was there & G & G Messana. As well as all your cousins. You were afraid of Chucky though! & screamed like a girl when he came near. February 7, 2008

And now Go HERE. That's what it all turns into. Crazy huh? One of the less fun aspects of being on a Creative Team. But the good out weighs the bad any day!

Thanks for Looking & have a great Thursday!

Miss Kate

We had the pleasure of watching our niece and nephews tonight for a bit. I decided to make a special page for Miss Kate. Here it is...

Go HERE for credits. Have a great night!

Sunday Night Dinner

We were able to host Sunday Evening Dinner with the In-Laws last night because my Father In-Law had just got the irrigation in their back yard.  It was lots of fun with around 40 people in attendance, 18 of them kids, so you can imagine the chaos!  I didn't take very many pics of the whole evening but HAD to break out the camera for dessert time.  All the kids were feeding Toms their ice cream cones {of course it was chocolate!}.  He was loving it!

This picture is my fav of him.  Just look at that smile!  

He LOVES having all his cousins around to play with!

Mainly because they all totally dote on him and give him sooo much attention.  

What kid wouldn't love that?  The girly's love getting into my purses and playing house when they come to visit.  One time they even got into my shoes, oh what fun they had then!  Here is Emma with one of the purses.  They fill them will all sorts of Toms goodies and play in the Guest room like it was their home.  Some of the things they say as they are pretending seriously crack me up!  Gotta love little girls!

Toms was in hog heaven, literally!

Later we turned on the Apple TV to enjoy some lovely Sunday evening Hymns. {Yeah right, sorry!}  These kids were dancing like crazy, they love their Soldier Boy!

Make video montages at www.OneTrueMedia.com

This was just a small glance into our Sunday evening. There were many others fun aspects of the evening like listening to Jeff's stories about the Dale's, Hil-A-Rious!  We were sad because Granny couldn't make it, she had come down with the flu or something earlier in the day.  I even heard one of the kids ask "where's Granny?" and when they heard she wasn't comiing they replied "Oh man, she's the funest one!" how sweet was that? The evening finally came to an end around 9:15 or so.  I was in the living room cleaning up while Tyler was walking everyone out. I came into Tommy's room where Tyler was after and asked "Where's Toms?" {Cause he didn't have him}. He gave me a look like I thought you had him, moment of panic. I went searching through the house for about 40 seconds until Tyler came clean and said that Jill had taken him with her. Tyler had planned to go over to their house to get a drink from their fridge so Jill took him with her for a few more minutes. What a punk Tyler is!!! You don't do that to Mother's!

Anyway, it was a great time and lots of cleaning now today, but thanks everyone for coming to our home, we love having you here! Now it's my family's turn to come and hang out.  If only they would drive out to our side of the hood every once and awhile!

Enjoy!

Dana Park Openings!

Can I just tell you that THIS is the best news I'll probably hear/see all week!!!  

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!  

The Easter Bunny Came...

Toms got all sorts of goodies!  A Leap Frog DVD, little cars, bubbles, 

a cute Bunny & Some Yummy Candy!

Even Tyler got a little something.  The first season of Psych DVD set.  The Easter Bunny must know we love that show.  Good call!  I stuck a little note in his to make him think I gave it to him, but he knew better!  Tee, Hee!

Tommy had the best time toting all his loot around the house in his shopping cart.  He just kept making circles through the kitchen and the living room.  He loved it, it really felt like he knew it was new fun stuff for him.  Crazy!  

{gotta love that bed head, nice!}

Happy Easter, hope the Easter Bunny was good to you too!

Easter Egg Hunt @ Grandpa Toms!

Tommy & I were able to join all the fun at Grandpa's House this year {Tyler was Golfing}.  We had a great time seeing all the cousins and playing in the yard.

Here are most of the girls stopping for a fun picture.

Here Toms is with his findings!  He even knows to shake them to listen for the change.  Smart kid.  I swear I didn't teach him that!

The older kids making a mad dash to try and find the dollar egg.  Clark was the lucky winner for the older group.

& Toms was the lucky winner in the baby group.

Whoo, Hoo!  Of course it will go in a savings account for Toms when he is older.  "smirk"

Photo Op with Tiff & Tessa,

Toms didn't really know what was going on, all he knew is he had a lot of kids running all around him.  {And he got to eat a lot of candy}

The dessert went pretty fast, Toms had two!

It was lots of fun and lots of craziness!  Thanks for having us over Grandpa, can't wait for next year when Toms will be walking...         Maybe.
