Check out my Slide Show!



Lots of baseball ...

these last few weeks.  We spent the last two weekends watching Spencer's summer league team.  The weather was great and the boys played well. I created a little slideshow with all the pictures I've taken...(and I couldn't get it to load here, so see the post above for photos - GRRR!)

Since we spent alot of time in the car, I took a few shots there as well.  The drive to Potlatch was so pretty  Blog_july_23_2008_016 and the kids LOVE a leisurely drive, LOL! Blog_july_23_2008_013 Oh, and I got a new haircut...Blog_july_23_2008_020 and Hailey got ahold of the camera, again...Blog_july_23_2008_021 .

I've been crafting a little...need to catch up on my layouts, here's a couple from my BPS class.Blog_july_23_2008_048 Blog_july_23_2008_049

The 4th (a few days later)...

Had a great 4th of July - went to our favorite annual event, the Johnson Parade. 

July_4_2008_010 July_4_2008_007_2 It's this great little parade in a tiny little town.  The parade goes up one side of the road and comes back down the other.  Good times! Spencer took his squirt gun and ended up soaked, he loved it. July_4_2008_009 July_4_2008_026

We watched the parade with our good friends the T's July_4_2008_020July_4_2008_021 and the C's, so much fun! 

We spent the afternoon with friends in the culdesac and then had some more friends over for a BBQ, followed by fireworks.   Unfortunately, I forgot to even think about taking any photos of the party so you'll just have to trust me when I say that a good time was had by all.  Oh and check out this cute treat that Kristi made - July_4_2008_050 Strawberry Salsa with Cinnamon Stars, YUM!

Thought I'd share a couple more layouts for my crafty readers.  The first is a layout I completed at the crop last month July_7_2008_002

and the second today's project at Have More FunBps_hmf_015 .  So fun to pull out some of those old pictures, just makes me sad to see how fast they're growing up!  Off to scrap some more! 

Have a great day! 

So FUN!!!

I recently signed up for a new class at BPS, it's Stacy Julian's summer long class, Have More Fun, and I've been doing just that!

The fun started as soon as I signed up, even though it was a few days before the class started, there was a fun little surprise, love that!  Next, we were told to wear a fun pair of flip flops to class everyday.  Made these... :)  Bps_hmf_002 I was thrilled to find a fabulous project when I logged in on day one.  I created this cute little mini book using nothing but patterned paper and some scraps! FUN!!! Bps_hmf_004 Bps_hmf_005 Bps_hmf_006 Bps_hmf_007 Bps_hmf_008 Bps_hmf_009 Bps_hmf_010 Bps_hmf_011 Bps_hmf_013

There are 4 guest teachers and my good friend Tamara, the FUNNEST Scrapbooker Ever is up next week.  Can't wait to see what she's got in store for us! 

We'll be getting a new project every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and yesterday's project was to create a quick and easy layout in less than 30 minutes, I made this in just over 20. Bps_hmf_003  This is Spencer with Max, a dog we had for just over a month before we decided he wasn't quite right for us. Had these pictures since 2002, nice to finally get them scrapped!

So...if you're looking for a FUN way to spend your summer, I suggest you read the syllabus and master supply list for all the details - what could be more fun than creating more than 5 albums/mini books in only 3 months!  So what do you say???  Are you ready to sign up and Have More Fun?  Let me know if you decide to join in! 

Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday was the big day, but I spent the weekend celebrating.  I had a wonderful time scrapbooking at a 4 day retreat.  We laughed, we cropped, we ate, we slept (a little), it was a wonderful time.  Photos to come soon.  I arrived home on Sunday afternoon to find this beautiful basket from the kids on the front porch!  Love it! Blog_june_24_002_2 Then they escorted me out back to find this!  Scott had planted the flower bed around the fountain!  Blog_june_24_011_2 It looks so great!  I got lots of fun gifts (thanks Mom, Dad, Christie, Dave, The Whites, Nancy and Kristi) and a yummy ice cream cake!  I had to work on the big day, but it was a fun day, with goodies from my co-workers and a baseball game last night, we lost, but it was a fun season.
