Spring is in the air!

We are so happy for Spring weather! The boys have been outside all week, it has been beautiful, aside from the few days it was a little chilly. They have already picked our first spring flowers. We have been to parks, played baseball, blew bubbles, and enjoyed fresh sand in the sandbox. Oh yes they even picked ALOT of fresh worms that I accidentally dug up.

We ended up giving Eric his Bday present early, we gave him a WII, that thing is so cool. I am lovin the tennis, it is so much fun.

I have a few new scrapbook pages that I am dying to share, BUT, I am going to enter them in Memory Makers Masters so I cant put them online anywhere. Hopefully you will just have to see them in a magazine (I wish!)

Off to get the boys ready for school!

My long week!

This has been such a hard winter for us. It seems like there is always at least one person sick at ALL times. Starting before winter in October, Mason and Trent were both admitted for Croup. The first ones the hospital had seen this season ( Our kids, NO!) Then there has been pink eye X3, 24hr flu x4, strep throat 1. Then we can add all the sinus, head colds, and random fevers for no reason other than to keep them home from school. Then this week Andy passed on his "flu" to me. This nasty viral infection has given me a terrible fever (up to 103) for almost 5 days now. I highly recommend liquid TheraFlu, my saving grace. I am feeling pretty good now until it wears off again. I pray that my fever will break tomorrow, and that no-one else in the house gets it.
Trent had been running a low fever and was acting fine, and the fever broke and now his whole body is covered in a rash, what is believed to be Roseola. It doesn't seem to bother him a bit.
But all this has kept me from working all week, and I haven't even been feeling good enough to scrap (you know I'm really sick now). On a good note I have lost 3lbs, that I'm sure will come right back!

I had to add a few pics of the boys "growing up". Mason had decided he wanted to cut his own nails, I was a bit worried he might lop of a big piece of skin, but It was so cute watching his determination and he actually ended up doing a great job, one less job for me now! Trent also decided he would try this, and you just cant tell that child no (am I right, dear?) and surprisingly he did ok, no blood, but he was started to breath kind of hard. Then he decided Mommy is better at it. I honestly don't mind the lap time I get when doing it.

I swear I am almost done....I posted a couple new layouts.
Okay thanks for reading...if you still are....

I am a Guest Designer!

Okay, so I have spent way to much time on this computer today. We have been searching for a vacation house. We are going to South Harbor, MI in July. I can't wait for summer, sun, sand, water, fireworks and lots of smiles. This winter has been forever long! Oh, Yes and Trent just started with a fever again today, it has only been a week since his last!

I am excited because I am privileged to be a Guest Designer for Personal Scrapper this month. I have been getting these kits for almost a year, and have loved every one. I love the forums and chatting with all the girls. It has been great and has really motivated me to start submitting my layouts and challenging me to do things that I wouldn't have otherwise....like this blog!

Here are a few I did for this months kit.

My first time :)

Okay, so I decided to jump on the blogging bandwagon. We'll see, it all seems a little strange to me. As If I actually have anything worth writing that anyone would want to waste their time reading, but yeah I waste my time enjoyably reading everyone else's. So I figured why not? So here is my first post, got the easy part down, now I need to figure out the rest.
But I must get off for now and get busy with real life. The boys woke me at 6am because I told them we would go to Chuck-e-Cheese today. Why I told them, I'm not sure, because I should have known this would happen. See ya!
