Dabbling in Digi!


OK, I have been lazy but this time I have another excuse. I forgot my blogger password/username. I know I am a dork. So, I have been a little creative the past few days. I have been wanting to learn a few digital skills. I am having a blast! I never thought it would be for me but I tell you it is addicting! The really cool part is there is no mess and if you don't like something just delete it. How cool is that? I also have been cleaning like a mad woman. Ava's play area was quite a disaster. So thanks mom for your help. :) Hope you have a fabulous Friday eve! :)

Being a little lazy..


OK , So I have been a little lazy.-maybe a lot- I haven't been feeling much like doing anything. I did manage to do a layout today. It is a total scraplift of Shannon Zickel from September CK. I thought it may get the wheels turning again. I do love the photo of my Ava. I think she may possibly be the most adorable 1 year old ever.

It has been a dreary weekend and not much to do. We had planned to go to the Pumpkin Patch but the weather did not cooperate. I guess we will try for next weekend. Hope everyone has a beautiful Sunday. :)

A Girls Weekend! :)



I had a girls only weekend in Chicago. I got to meet my friend Stacey in real life. We had big shopping plans but not so much luck. I had fun just hanging out and getting to know each other better. It is cool to meet someone with so many similarities. I hope to get together again for a little Target shopping. :) I posted a few photos. I think it might possibly be the worst photo I have ever taken. Stacey you look adorable. :) I must say it was cold and misting rain and what can you really expect when you ask a stranger to snap a photo. At least we have a photo. :) It was nice to have a kid free weekend but I must say I really missed everyone. Hope everyone had a great weekend. :)

Happy Birthday :)


Busy day running errands. Tonight we attended my niece Bela's third birthday party. She is so cute. She was irritate with her big sister for not sharing her "mape-up" (make-up) She didn't even have any lipstick on her eyes. Too funny. I posted a photo I shot of her a couple weeks ago. Isn't she gorgeous. Happy Birthday little one.

Not much else to say. Sorry for the boring post. :)

What I have been up to...





Hope everyone had a great long weekend! It was very nice here in Illinois. I was feeling inspired to do a little fall decorating. It helps that Ava is really enjoying of the festive decorations. She picked out the wreath on the door. She has to kiss all three scarecrows every day. She is so fun. :)

This week I have so many little errands. I hate it when everything happens the same week. The dogs have their grooming appointments today. I have my "grooming" on Wednesday, and a Dr appointment on Thursday. Whew... I will be ready for the weekend. It should be lots of fun...

That is all for now. Have a great day! :)

Happy Sunday!


I had quite the busy day. I did a little {ok a lot of} shopping. I am very excited I got my own purse! I know it sounds rather lame. I had given up carrying my own purse since Ava was born. I just pretty much threw my wallet and cell in the diaper bag. After 15 1/2 months I have my own bag again! :) I also got a few clothes. I didn't want to get a lot since I am still on my weight loss program. I thought loosing 9 pounds I should get a pair of jeans that didn't sag in the butt. I am hoping to motivate myself to get the remaining 7 pounds off. I am happy that I am on the right track. I am happy to report my resting heart rate was 55 last week. I am excited. I get excited easily a new purse, low pulse, going to Target. I am a dork.

Above is a layout I did Friday. My Jonah looking so cute. :)

Hope you have a great holiday! :)

My little and big





Today was the first home football game. We were a little dissappointed that Chase would not be playing. He is only a freshman so it is understandable. I decided to have Chase and Ava put on their "uniforms". They are so cute. It is a little sad to look at them sometimes. Our big and little. Chase is growing and maturing and Ava is becoming a little girl right before our eyes. It is amazing how quickly time slips away. I know I am going to hug them a little tighter. OK, My little mini-meltdown is over...


I did not make to Target or anywhere else too exciting. Ava and I went to Jeffery Allans and she picked out a few Halloween decorations. She is going to be so fun this holiday season. :) We also went to Wal-mart and she got the tiniest Cabbage Patch newborn and a baby stroler. It is adorable how she plays with them I will post a few photos when I have better light.

I am sorry for the wonky looking photo post I need to get better at adding the photos.

Have a great holiday weekend! :)
