Rock Star LO & updates

Well, I finally became unlazy and updated my bloggy babes list with MORE cool scrappy chicks! I've been meaning to do it for some time, but just have been too lazy :D I hope I didn't forget about anyone, sorry if I did!
Here's my latest, I love this one! This is a picture of my hubby when he was a kid, trying to be like KISS - ha ha! Caytlynn cracks up everytime she looks at this picture and she says daddy's wearing make-up and laughs a bit more! It's hilarious!! It was also a lift of the winner from the 7gypsies contest at my site - Scrap-Tastic Make sure you check it out!!

Here's a few pics of the kids from the past couple days. I love this one of Caytlynn's dance class, she's in the middle and Cassidy is running by! Caytlynn is in the middle.

And here's from an impromptu photo shoot with the middle and little one! I love the one with Cassidy's little piggies in it, will look much better when changed into B&W!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Mem day :) :) :) Have a drink for me!

Pictures and some more LOs!!

Well, Sunday Cullen was baptised and then we had a party for him and for Cassidy's b-day - the big 2! After the party I went to the ER because I thought I had an infection from nursing. My day didn't end until after 10 pm! I was wiped! And the next day was horrible, I was exhausted! I'm still trying to catch up on sleep! Anyway, the party was fun and all the kids got really cool clothes! I didn't get a lot of pictures though, since I was so busy! So, Mike, I know you read this, please send me pictures :) :) :) I did manage to get some cute ones of the kids, I just didn't get any of the actual baptism since I needed to be a part of it. Here's the little man in the same baptiam gown that both of his sisters wore. His dad and uncle and a TON of other's from the hubby's side also wore it. I think about 20 or so people in all.




Here's Cassidy in her pigtails! Her eye color is really captured here, make sure you click on the picture to really see!








And here's Caytlynn with her cousin Jessie. This one is going to make for a GREAT scrapbook page!!! This picture just cracks me up! I can't help but smile everytime I look at it!









And here's some of my LOs :) Ta ta!

I'm in the Basic Grey gallery!!!

YEA! They picked one of my LOs to be in their gallery :) :) :) I posted it in my last entry, Anxious. Here it is in the BG gallery - http://www.basicgrey.com/catalog/idea_gallery_info.php?idea_gallery_id=11578
Well, here's a bunch more LOs for you! This first one is of Michelle's daughter, Cass, isn't she adorable!!!

















This second one is actually for Michelle, for her b-day - happy b-day!! She is truely amazing! Wish we lived closer so we could party and our kids could play together!

















Ok, enough about her - bwahahaha!!! Here's Cullen's birth announcement. I got the idea from another one of my talented DT girlies, Nicole, uberly talented and cool!

















This one is great because Robyn, who's another one of my DT girlies, won her a font of her own handwriting and she gave it to me! Isn't that font just the coolest! It also came with the swirl and the arrows!!

















This one is for Scrap-Tastic.com DT, Junkitz is our sponsor, I also dubbed it for Outrageous Daisy DT :) I just love this picture of her! She actually picked out the flower for me in the hospital, way to go girlie!!

















Last one here, I love these pictures, Caytlynn is so happy! Journaling: If there is joy in your heart, it will be known by the look on your face. That's enough for tonight!

A bunch more LOs!!

Nothing new AGAIN!!! Except for some fun LOs :) I love the ribbon on the blue one with the picture of me. I saw it at Wal-Mart and it's just so beautiful! It looks better in real life! There's hidden journaling on that one: I took this picture of me 8 days before I was due. So many things to be anxious about!! What will you look like, when will my water break, will it be an easy labor, will I make it to the hospital ontime??? 3 days later the wait was over & I did make it to the hospital on time! You are gorgeous! They broke my water at the hospital and it was an easy labor!! Now you're here and I'm not anxious anymore! I want to enjoy you as you are and savor every moment we are together. LOVE U, CULLEN!! Love, Mum(heart)

5 new LOs!!! And a bunch of nothing :)

Here's 5 of about 20 LOs! Other than scrapping, my life has been rather uneventful. Busy times to come though. Cullen will be baptised on Sunday and we're going to be celebrating his baptism along with Cassidy's b-day - she turned 2 on Saturday - and Mother's day all at once! Plus, Caytlynn has a recital in a few weeks - exciting schtuff!!!! This one is for Paperwhite
This one ones for Nicole's Mother Day challenge :)

Brand New LO

I have about 10 LOs to post, but just haven't had the sunlight to take pics! So the coloring of this one may be off a bit. TFL!! Oh and thanks to Amy for reminding me I have a blog :D

Tripple TOOT!!

For anyone that reads my blog that doesn't scrap. NO! I don't have gas :D A toot is "tooting your horn". I just had 3 of my LOs picked up by Cantata for an upcoming baby book! Wow!!! I'm so motivated to scrap now :) I've actually been a mad scrapper, just haven't had time to take pics of the LOs and post! You'd think that I wouldn't have as much time, it actually seemd like I have more time! This little man is a great sleeper :) :) :)
On a different note, I'm going out of the house tomorrow, baby-less! Weird! It's going to feel good though! Caytlynn has dance and I was going to call and cancel, but the hubby's going to be home in the a.m. so I can take her! Yea!
Ta ta!!

More Urban Lily!

Didn't have a chance to post this here yet! I went into labor before I could ;) This is probably my favorite of all the UL so far, well, maybe the 2nd fav to the one below :)

My first LO of Cullen. I love this pic, even though he's covering his face, because it's the first pic of him!

Cullen Cole is here!!

Here's my/his story...
Monday, April 24th, at 4:30 I had just gotten home from the Dr where I was scheduled to be induced on Friday, tomorrow. My mom watched the kids while I was gone and after she left I started having contractions, very sporadic. I saw my neighbor walking by and ended up talking to her for a while and the girls played with her kids. My girls ended up at their house and my neighbor went home. Called my MIL since she's a nurse and also called the dr. I didn't think I was going into labor, but doc said to go in anyway and get checked. My contractions were getting stronger and the stronger they got the more I knew I was going to have the baby! So, I started getting ready and patiently waited for the hubby to come home(I did call him). The girls came home at a little after 7. I didn't feed them supper and their settle down time 7:30. Caytlynn had a scrape on her foot, so I was trying to get something for them to eat, since the little one was pratically screaming for food, clean Caytlynn's foot and finish packing while having these REALLY strong contractions!! I called the neighbor girl over to watch my girls since I couldn't get a hold of my mom - SHE TURNED OFF HER PHONE!!!! Corey made it home and we were off to the hospital at 8:00. By then I was having contractions every 2 minutes! I didn't want to say anything to Corey, but I was so afraid that I was going to give birth in the car! We did make it there w/o having the baby :) I was wheeled into l&d and was asked "how are you?" me:"every 2 minutes, not so good!". That was 8:30. They set me up, got my epaduril(sp?) :) :) :) :) and at about 10pm, my OB came in and said we can have this baby now if you want to start pushing - EEEK! I did not expect this so soon! Dr got prepped and I pushed through 2 of my contractions and he flew out of me. Doc said he had to check him for wings :) 8lbs 4 oz 21 inches long, Cullen Cole was born at 10:21pm. His face bruised because he came out so fast! Besides that, everything was perfect! He's healthy and I feel great! We're at home now and it's oddly quiet since the girls are at g-ma's! Here's Cullen:













And here's the chaos of everyone(Cassidy was trying to kiss me with her mouth open!), I have a feeling that this is what life will be like for the next few years!
And here's Cullen hangin' out in his swing :) I'll post more photos later - surprise, surprise!

My website is Live!!

Hey, FINALLY, my website is live and kickin'! Scrap-Tastic opened 2 days ago :) :) :) So, besides hanging out at my site ;), I've been scrappin' with the new Urban Lily. Gosh, this stuff rocks! Here's one that I did yesterday.

Urbal Lily LO :) *edited to add LO*

I Really should be sleeping or trying to sleep, but I just keep thinking about the new UL stuff!! Call it a sickness if you will ;) Here's what I did this morning.
Here's another :)

I got a visit from my ...

2 new best friends - the UPS and FedEx guys! Urban Lily is in the house!!!!!! OMG, these papers totally rock! I was so stinkin tired last night I couldn't play. But, my dd woke me up at 4am and I couldn't stop thinking of them, plus my belly wouldn't stop moving(this baby's kickin!) and I'm off to scrap :) :) :) :) I also got some shoes for my youngest, it's not as exciting as the Urban Lily though!!

LO, Tues. challenge and Ramblings(jealousy issues)

Here is one of most fav pics of Caytlynn. I just love it when a pic shows her lashes off! Even though I wish she got the lashes from me, her daddy has beautiful lashes and that's where she got them from! This one is another for Fiber Scraps DT!

Challenge(thanks to BonnieRose): list 5-10 websites on your Blog... websites that you like to visit, frequent often... let's all learn about some cool websites fr ea other!

2peas - it's on the side bar. Love this site for all of the ideas I get from it. I can spend hours and hours there!!

Now, I've been reading about all these girlies getting their drink on and I'm a bit jealous! Oh, who am I kidding, I'm super duper jealous!!!! ESPECIALLY, since I'm 8 months preggo and this is the time when I REALLY want to get trashed! It is funny to see and hear the drunkin stories though :)

Scrap-Tastic & Adorable Pics!

I've been getting a lot of questions about when Scrap-Tastic will open. SOON :) :) :) It should only be a couple of days. There are just a few minor things that need to be done!
Here's some recent pics of the girls. I've been posting LOs of Caytlynn but the pics are 3 years old!! Here's Cassidy, I had her dressed really cute and she decided to turn into a home girl and put a t-shirt on and a hat! She was saying "froggy", which is in her hand.
Here's Caytlynn with some of her new princess stuff that arrived that day! She was so happy, can ya tell??

Wow - 4 LOs Today :)

I had the afternoon entirely to myself and did it feel awesome!!! I really didn't want to do any work, but forced myself to do a little ;) Anyway, I spent the majority of that time scrapping and started and finished 4 LOs!!! Thanks to Provo Craft!! I'm not groovin' on the last one, but I don't know what to do to it! Any suggestions?
Adorable
just look at that face
Playtime
{six} months

2 LOs and Challenge

I have to say that I am thoroughly tired of being preggo. My feet have been swelling lately and it doesn't feel very good, my toes look like small sausages. It's a good thing we don't have a dog - lol. I am extremely thankful to be able to have this baby and to be preggo in the first place, but come on, 9 months is just a bit long. I think it's the last 3-4 weeks that I can't stand. I'm huge and always out of breath. Oh, I went for a walk yesterday and started to talk to my neighbor. I let Cassidy out of the stroller to see the dogs and after a while she took off! Can you just picture me "trying" to run with a huge belly! I couldn't catch her and was screaming for her to stop. Luckily there were no cars around, but just after I got her and took her hand a car came around the corner like a bat out of hell. The SL is only 25, but this car must have been goin 40! Everyone's safe, but it shook me up. I didn't even make it a mile and was sore for the rest of the day! Enough of my ramblings/complaining!!
I've been putting off a lot of stuff I want to get scrapped just because of the theme or some pics are bad. Whatever the reason, I am going to try to get as many of these scrapped tomorrow, I am a free woman! My MIL is taking both of the kids for the day :) :) :)
I did do 2 LOs tonight. For one the pics are so cute, but the film was really old. I had to scrap those. And I save a lot of my cards, actually, I save a lot of everything!! My kids are going to hate me when I die - lol! Anyway, instead of making LOs for every occassion of cards, I just made one LO! Oh, but my fav part of the LOs is the flower I made with the bubble stickers. I wish I would have done that on a LO that has better pics!

Challenge(thanks to BonnieRose): Pick one. and Elaborate if you so wish!
chocolate or vanilla? HANDS DOWN - CHOCO!!!
sandals or barefoot? Sandals
basic grey or scenic route? BG!!
primas or HS flowers? Primas :) they make me smile
computer journaling or handwritten? computer - shown and hand written hidden, although, lately I've been doing mostly handwritten for the sake of time(baby's due in 2 weeks!)
Madonna or Gwen Stefani? Gwen and her hunky hubby :)
Leno or Conan? Leno
Koolaid or Crystal Lite? Koolaid
American Idol or Amazing Race - AI, but I love them both!

Dare #23

I LOVE this dare! This one was fun to do too! I used old pics from 97-99 which made it fun!

A 2-Pager and Challenge

Here's what I did today :) I had some extra time to myself since the hubby is going to a basketball game tomorrow. I've been putting these photos off since I had so many and wanted to use them all. Well, some aren't appropriate to show the general public, but I still wanted to keep them with the other photos - it was a drunkin' weekender, what do you expect! So, I just put them in a pocket! I'm glad I finally did them and happy with the LO.
Challenge(thanks to BonnieRose): Are there any NEW scrapbooking products {out on the market now}.. that you just **can't wait** to try? Is there something out there that you just **gotta have**? Let me know your wish lists!
THere are so many items out that I want to get my little paws on, but for me the must haves(and I will eventually) are Elsie stamps. Elsie is one of my favs and her stamps are WAY cool! The new chipboard stuff from Fancy Pants, I want them all, but I think the scrolls are really neato! ALL of the new papers from Urban Lily that should be arriving any day, I can't wait - they ALL rock! :) :) :) :) Some really cool alpha rub-ons. I don't care as long as they look cool, I just want to expand my rub-on alpha collection! I'm sure there's so much more, but that's the stuff I want to scrap with tonight - lol! Oh, and lots of primas, lots and lots. I want to swim in them!

LO and Challenge!

Here's a LO using Fiber Scraps new AND old stuff!
Challenge(thanks to BonnieRose): Blog about your fave ice-cream flavor. Summer is right around the corner. If you absolutely love the stuff, like I do! what's your fave flavor? Do you have more than one? Is it a specific brand? Do you enjoy it in a cone or in a dish, piled up high with other yummy stuff?
MMMMMM, Ice Cream!! Lately, I've been craving mint chocolate chip - YUM!! But usually I like chocolate topped with just about everything, my fav is a turtle, but with choco and extra pecans! For those of you that don't know, a turtle is topped with carmel, hot fudge and pecans. Oh, could I go for one right now :)
