   Wow! Week 8 already! Where has the time gone. Enjoy.

Feb. 21, 2011I go by every night to check on my kiddos, especially to see where Micah is sleeping at. Sometimes he's in his bed and other times you find him here, "Yes with his big sister Hannah".

Feb. 22, 2011Tonight was "World Thinking Day" for Girl's Scouts. Hannah and her Troop 9652 had the country Greece. Each girl's scout troop who signed up had a different country so they made a food for that country and then a swap to give to the girls and then the girls had their passport signed by each country. There were about 15-20 different countries that they girls were able to learn about and taste the food. 

Feb. 23, 2011Today was Dylan and his teammates played against IWA and guess what we won again.13-8It was a great game, I am so proud of my son he did super. Way to go Dylan!

Feb. 24, 2011We took the kids and my nephew Christian to the "Rock and Worship Road Show".  We loved it. We saw several different Christian bands. ( Jars of Clay, LeCrae, Mercy Me, Matt Maher). This will be the last concert we take our 4 and 6 year old. They are still not ready for concerts. Other than that we had a great time. 

Feb 25, 2011I have two pictures for this day. One of my Awesome nephew B.B. who had his Cheer tryouts in front of the crowd. He did awesome. I am so proud of him. Later that night my husband and I went to "A Night of Hope" w/Joel Olsteen at the American Bank Center. That was awesome.

Contagious!

All I can say is that she has a contagious SMILE!

I had the privilege of taking care of Angelina Olivia all weekend, yes that included overnight for two days. But she was such a great Baby! She woke up smiling and talking. You would just look at her or say her name and she would smile. Never once woke up in a bad mood. I love this baby so much and Thank God for bringing her parents and her to move down to Corpus Christi so that I could bond with her. 

I have such a great relationship with my two nephews B.B. and Devin and my oldest niece Lexi that I know Angelina and I will have a great relationship also. I just love all of them so much and happy to be their AUNTIE!

 

We Won!

Annapolis Warriors vs. Most Precious Blood

Today the Annapolis Boys had their second game. This weather has been crazy and has canceled games here and there. Barely any practices since we do not have an inside gym to practice at YET! The 1st game was a challenge and an opportunity for the boys to learn from. They played their hearts out. Today was a difference story, they did GREAT! We were so proud of our boys. 

11-4

 Here is Dylan hustling back to help out his team mates. So proud of him.

I was so excited Dylan stole the ball and was on the run with it. 

Today was a great day. My big boy was so tired when he got home, he took a shower and was out like a light bulb. 24 minutes running back and forth is a major awakening to Dylan. 

You will improve in Time Dylan just keep up the good work. 

Love, Mom

February 11, 2011

Busy day today I worked half a day today because I had Hannah's Valentines Party to go to and take pictures of them, I had to still put Dylan's shadow box for his Cub Scout banquet together then get Hannah's outfit ready for later that night. The Valentines Kinder party went great, they had ice cream and Ms. Williams read them the book , "Saint Valentine" (cute book by the way) and then at the end they took their group picture with the LOVE sign I made. Isn't it adorable? I also photographed Angelina with the Love Sign to make her Valetines Cards. Later that evening Hannah and her Daddy went to their 1st Daddy and Daughter 50's Sock hop for Girls Scout. Thanks to her Auntie Linda who whipped up her poodle skirt in a jippy. She was so excited that her and her Daddy danced. They had a ball. We also had my oldest Cub Scout Banquet. He recieved the Arrow of Light award and pin and then crossed over to a BOYS SCOUT...oh my! A Boys Scout already...Boy are they growing up. I am so proud of my children.

Busy Day huh?

Week 5: Jan 30th thru Feb 5

  Wow! Week 5 already! Enjoy Check out my update of my album!
 

Jan 30th - Sunday_Twice a year my job has us auditing different departments in the hospital. Well this year I had the privilege to audit OR at Memorial on a FREAKING Sunday...ughhhhh.....Don't they know that is the Lord's day and we rest after church? apparently they did not get the memo! We sat around and waited about 45 minutes before we even started so I decided to take photos of me and my co-workers....

Jan 31st....Here is Micah getting ready for bed but before he goes to bed he picks up a hair on the floor and holds on to it. He rubs it in a ball and just hold on to it. if you look at his thumb where he is holding the bear you will see his thumb is jacked up....He sucks that thumb and only that thumb. I can not seem to break the habit. It looks deformed...lol...

Feb 1st
Tonight was Open House at Annapolis Christian Academy where my kids attend school. We were in the cafeteria after visiting next year's teachers and Hannah was playing with her friends. There are only 10 students including Hannah in her classroom. I love the bond that they all have. 

Feb. 2nd- Today was Dylan's 1st Basketball as a 4th grader. I was so proud of him, he played the entire game, you could tell he was huffing and puffing my the end of the 1st quarter but he held his head up and stuck it out. Great job Dylan!

Feb 3rd- Today was a crazy night, it was the night of the crazy weather. We were predicted to get a bit of Snow but instead we got ice everywhere and it was cold. It was late and Vince went outside to check it out and came back with a leaf that had ice already....

Feb. 4th- This is what we woke up to...ICE...ICE...ICE... This was around 10 a.m. and hubby was scrapping the ice off the windshield then he said he was rolling down the windows and it looked like the window was never rolled down because there was a sheet of ice on the outside...Isn't this a cool picture?

Feb 5th- Tonight I had to go to a Scentsy meeting @ Kristin's house and of course I love to take pictures of her baby "Brylee". She is adorable.

I hope you had a great week!

Update on Project Life 365!

When I came home on Tuesday guess what I saw waiting on my couch. Yup! That's right my project life kit. I was so excited. 

 (This is not the greatest picture, it was very late and I was so exhausted)

But I am really thrilled about my Project Life this year. I love the color I chose. Here is a sneak peak of the first page plus the 1st week. I have been working on this for 2 days and have only gotten this far. 

Here is my 1st page of my book. I fixed prettied it up. Check out the close ups. I stitched a lot. 

This is the top left slot and I added heart stitches and children is a rub on and I love to ink the edges. 

Here is the top right slot. I added one of the cards on top of this card and added rub on "Hugs & kisses"

Here are the 1st two slots. I stitched hearts and added rub-ons to the next one. I haven't finished that card yet. 

 The next 2 slots....I stitched "Love".

 I added rub-ons and an embellishment.

I stitched around the arrow and added a "C". 

 Here is Week 1 the 1st side.

 I stitched "Week 1" and so loving it along with inking the edges.

 I added some rub-ons

 Don't you just love my stitched bird...how pretty.

 Added a rub on.

Here is the other side of Week 1. 

I added a stitched "balloon"....

I have had so much fun just completing the 1st week. This makes me want to scrap! I think tomorrow I may be doing that. I have a lot of projects written down that I need to do. 

I hope you enjoyed looking at my Project Life just as much as I have.
