Heres some recent layouts I have done for a contest over at Personal Scrapper in hopes of winning me the Grand Prize, a Slice...no more explanation needed for you scrappers! For others it is a awesome machine that cuts your paper and is worth $150 moolah! This layout is the aftermath of destruction after the dog chewed up Mason's Macaroni tree project for school! He was crying and Im taking the picture! bad mom...lol
This is my husband Andy on the left and my youngest on the right....a little resemblance I thought!
These are the boys Valentine pictures. Trent and his froggy.
Mason and his bear. Hes so sweet.
Eric and his monkey. I changed this one afterwards to Funky Monkey, I thought it fit him better than Funny Monkey.

PageMaps Contest

I have to thank Becky Fleck for a awesome sketch and a awesome contest, because it motivated me to do this layout, and I have to thank Erica over at PersonalScrapper.com for such a great April kit. I am LOVIN these vibrant fun colors!
The journaling read: Most days I do want to run from the house screaming because I cant tolerate the boys behavior. But overall I am completely happy right now. I love my family, my friends, my many jobs, my hobbies. I owe it all to God he has given me a good life and I am blessed by him.

Bill & Kristy's Wedding.

I had the pleasure of doing pictures for my cousin's wedding. I hope they enjoy them!

School Photo's

I could not believe this years photos. I know the boys have grown but seeing there school photos, I was sad because they looked so old. I was happy because they all came out great. And I was laughing because of their adorable faces. Trent 3yrs in Pre-School.
Mason brought this home today. Every day I am amazed by what he is learning and how well he is doing. His teacher is the best, she even wrote a note on the back for him. He just loves her to pieces, Im pretty sure she gets more hugs than me!
Here is his picture, this one makes me laugh. He has grown the most over the year, his face has thinned out and eventually I might have to stop calling him baby....nahhh. I love this smile!
Mason 5yrs Kindergarten.
Here is Eric's picture, probably one of the best he has ever taken. He's actually smiling, even if it is only halfway...lol.
Eric 10yrs 5th grade

Valentine's Day

Happy Belated Valentines Day! Just wanted to share pictures of my cutest valentines. Although I tend to hate stuffed animals because we have way too many.....and I never get rid of them because they are all "special", I still couldn't resist these for V-Day, and the boys loved them too!

There was a crop over at PersonalScrapper.com and I actually finished all 15 challenges. I didnt post them all...I dont think, but I posted most of my favorites.

I loved this pic of Mason, he was of course "posing" for me with that sweet smile. He really is such a sweet emotional child.

Trent in his all to serious "Im going to fight the world" look. One of my alltime favorites layouts I think....for now.

These are pics from vacation when we visited bounce land. I had to buy socks and run through all the inflatables to get Trent to go, hard to tell by looking at his face!

Me and my Auntie Tonyia.....love ya.

Mason on vacation getting his first "tatoo".

This was a ribbon challenge, it was fun and simple.

My brother Cole & Amanda with baby Braycin.

For this layout the challenge was to do something funny. Its hard to see but Mason has snot coming out of his nose. Okay so after I showed him this he said"Mom, I dont like it, do it over. You could have gotten me a kleenex"....sorry kiddo...I love you.

12 weeks went by fast!

Wow, this last 12 weeks really fly by. It was stressful being home with the children all the time, and not getting to even talk with Andy that much, but I know it was also stressful for him too. He crammed in alot in 12 weeks. He did it, and here are some graduation pictures! His father was able to hand him the award.

Like father like son!

I should have known better than to take pictures in front of this banner, but after graduation it was a little crazy, and Im just glad I got the picture. And no I am not pregnant either, that shirt is pretty, but obviously not very flattering! And neither is the lighting, my hair is not red. lol

The boys are so proud of Daddy, they came home and have been playing cops for days now, I should have added a picture of that. Glasses, belts, guns, vests, handcuffs, you name it they are wearing it. It has kept them busy. I hope graduation will be something they always remember. They were really good and found all the police officers fascinating.

Jerry, Andy, and his friend Darrick. Im glad he came, it meant alot to Andy.

Here are some pages I have done recently.

Our ice storm, that took out the electricity for days. Luckily just off & on for us, the most was 4 hours I think.

Little T's pre-k class. He's batman on the left, hence the arrow.
Thanks for looking, hope everyone is doing well and staying warm!

So....its been awhile!

Okay so to start this crazy long post...yes sorry If you fall asleep. I am trying to cover the last 2 months in one post. Not really a good idea. Anyways I have to start with some layouts.

We finally got our new couches that I have patiently been waiting for, since they came in damaged then placed on back order. They were worth the wait, so soft and comfortable. And now there is enough seating for everyone. I love that I can sit next to Andy now in the loveseat, glad I got that instead of a reclining chair. The best part is all the ends recline. It is bliss!

Okay as much as I didn't really enjoy dealing with the week long ice storm and the lack of electricity every now and then I couldn't help but take a few pictures. It was very beautiful!

And I rearranged the front room, it is such a multi-purpose room. It now holds my crafts the computer desk, the kids toys and I moved the old couch out there, so they can watch movies out there too. I even set up a little craft table, and all my old supplies. It has kept them busy.

Spent a couple days volunteering at school. We had tons of fun making cookies, decorating gingerbread houses and I even had a flour fight...but don't tell the teachers...lol

Yes, he really is insane!

There was more christmas picks of course, but I just loved this one of T and his train set. He just looked so cute in his robe.

And the best Christmas present of all was a new nephew Braycin Carver Hiller born Dec 23. I visited Friday and couldn't help taking just a few pictures. He is absolutely perfect!

Isn't he just the most kissable thing, look at those lips!

You cant tell they are happy, can you.lol

Okay enough for now, thanks for looking!
