March For Babies

That is what I am doing this weekend. How about you? I will be doing the March Of Dimes, March for Babies this Saturday. I will be walking with my Mom, Sister and Best Friend Steph. I am thankful everyday that I was blessed with happy and healthy babies. I know that is not always the case. I have had enough friends and family who have lost children or had children born with severe problems that I am doing this for them. If you would like to learn more about the March of Dimes, March for Babies or to help sponsor please check out the following link.

Happy Wednesday!

14...

That happens to be the number of days left until I turn 30! Wow, seems like not that long ago I was fresh out of high school. Ok maybe it does a little bit. I have a couple friends who DON'T let me forget how old I will be. Stephanie loves to remind me that I am older than her by 6 weeks. WHATEVA! And then of course there is Ali. She has a birthday 2 DAYS after me but she has decided that she is not gonna celebrate until I catch up with her. So I took a page out of something that Sarah told me.... I told Ali she can be 35.2! HAHA! Yes I just told the whole word Neener Neener! LOL Love Ya! But Alas turning 30 does not bother. I will be bothered I think the day I have to start wearing Depends undergarments LOL.

Happy Scrapping!

Happy Birthday!

Just wanted to start out by saying Happy Birthday to my lil sis Katie. She turns a whopping 24 today LOL. I hope you have a great day.

So I meant to blog about this the other day and forgot.. obviously LOL. Well Jeffrey's team won their first game of the season the other night. My little man made the last out of the game. You have to remember my son is on 7 years old , but he is a ball player through and through. SO anyways... he was playing at the pitcher position when a line drive tagged him in the ankle. He dropped to the ground for a minute in pain and then realized that the runner was headed to first base. So what does he do? He grabs the ball and throws it to first base FROM HIS KNEES and gets the kid out! YES I am a proud momma! It is amazing to me how much more competitive it is this year compared to last. I am sure I look crazy in the stands shouting with excitement but I can't help it.

Well I have a Layout to share with you. Yes I know shocking really! LOL. Maybe tonight I can get some more scrapping done. Anyways I started this layout about a month ago when I went over to KP's house to scrap. It just makes me smile to look at it :) I have never been very good at multiple or layered flowers and that was my goal with this LO.

I hope you are all having a great Friday and will have a great weekend!

Our Kitchen is done!!

Ok well it has been done for about a week or 2 but I am just now getting the chance to show you guys. Here are the before and after pics

I am in love with my kitchen all over again! I just have not had the chance to use it much. Our bathroom is almost done. I am waiting for Jeff to paint it. Other than the kitchen update we have started baseball here. Jeffrey had his first game of the season on Saturday. It was a great game. Our team is about a year younger than the other teams. We lost by one run. As Jamie would say, Darn it Sauce! Oh yea I almost forgot to mention that I am going to do the March of Dimes, March for Babies walk on April 26th. I am doing it with my Mom, Sister and Best Friend. Haven't done much scrapping. I miss it. Hopefully I can get some scrapping done this weekend! Hope you are all well! HUGS!
