Busy Weekend

Hello!!
Saturday was crazy- and quite beautiful!! Sunshine and a little warmth too.
But the day itself was crazy busy!! We had one baseball game at 10, basketball at 2 and 4. A birthday party at 2... It was just busy, busy!!! We watched August Rush that night for our Family Movie night. I have to say, I loved that movie. It was perfect!! The kids loved it- even Ethan!!
Sunday was a wonderful day. We went to church- and that was great. I ran with Ethan in the jogger 5 miles and the kids and Dalton went to the gym. Then we met back at home and loaded the bikes and the bike trailer for Ehtan up and headed to the trail. We rode for 10 miles. I was proud of Brookelyn for riding so long. Kaelyn, well I was proud of him too but he could have rode all day. I on the other hand was beat!! Pushing the jogger is hard to do while running and little man loves to talk. I love to listen to my worship music and run- and I can't talk and run. And then pulling the trailer, well I was tired by the time we made to car.
I have to really hunker down this week and train hard. We run 18 miles this week. I just can't believe it is almost here... the marathon.

I did manage to make a couple of cards over the weekend. One birthday card for the party and then one just cuz!! I hope you enjoy and thanks for letting me ramble on...

The first one uses a retired paper pack for the b&t paper (Great Outdoors) and then a cute stamp set that I had to have and have never used until now. Roughin' it. I love how cute this card turned out. The little boy was having a camo party- not camping camo but boot camp... but it still was cute!! The trees, baby bear, and the tent are pop dotted.


This next one is one of my favorite Stamp of the months yet to be released!! It is for June... With Love. Paper is from a little stack that I picked up at M's. I used my copics again to color the flowers and vase. I did use Heavenly Blue CS and sparkles from CTMH also. Ribbon was from M's too.

Long time no blog...

I am so sorry that life is just getting ahead of my ability to keep up to date. I read so many blogs everyday you would think I could at least update my own. I love looking at artwork on all the ones I visit daily that I have decided I am going to have to post more of my own artwork. So, hopefully I will be able to do just that!!!

In February we had a great month!! We decided to walk in faith or obedience to the Lord rather, and put our homestudy up for review for a family that we are so interested in. I hope that you all will stay in prayer with us as we should be hearing something soon. Valentines day was such a great "family" day of love!! I have to say I agree that it really is just a Hallmark day!! I love the red hearts and the fun that the kids have passing out valentine's but I am rather sure I would rather make sure everyone knows that I love them each and everyday!!!


Here is the card I made for Dalton I really enjoyed it and so did he...:o)



Another pretty card made using the February Stamp of the Month... I have two extra sets still for sale if you are interested in this set... it is really a pretty set to play with. It is paired with lots of sparkles and the beautiful Silhouette Papers in our new Spring Catalog.



The kids had winter break for a week and we had so much fun going to the beach and yes it was chilly but it was a beautiful sunny day!! We also took other day trips to the Pacific Science Center and parks... Here are a few great pics from those days..





More to come on my upcoming Stamp Camp next week!! Still a few more spaces, be sure to leave a comment if you would like to be added to workshop!!!
