Trying to get motivated...

After my last post, I decided to try to get the creative juices flowing. It was actually fun! Maybe there will be more to come. Have a lovely day!

Contemplating

I have been contemplating scrapbooking a lot these days. I am going through a bit of a dry spell to say the least. It isn't because I don't think about it. I do, actually, I think about it a great deal. I tell myself that it is because I am so busy with things that I just don't have time. I think I could find the time if I really was motivated. Could it be that my love for scrapping is dying? Is this because I love my camera more than paper? I have noticed that my blog seems to be more of my outlet these days. Maybe it is stealing my desire to create? I hope that scrapping has not become a hobby that I used to do. I did get quite a lot out of the craft. So if anyone has been through this type of thing, any advice?

Brrr

It is a toasty 10 degrees this morning and it is actually supposed to get colder as the day progresses. Here is a photo I took on my sun room this morning. I think it sums up the temperature... Have a lovely day!

I don't know anything exciting...Just wanted to share a couple of photos of Miss Ava from today...Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!!

Hello

I have survived my first week of classes. I am happy it is over...Not much going on here. Between school and all I have managed to watch all of season 2 and 3 of my new favorite show!!The Office!! I had not watched it before November and I fell in love. For Christmas, Drake bought me all three seasons on DVD and I am all caught up!! Now I am in love with 2 men- besides my husband- Dr Derek Sheppard and Jim Halpert. LOL I know I am a super dork...I am desperate for the writer's strike to end. I am so missing my Grey's and now the office...

Since it is now after midnight it is my mom's birthday! Happy birthday Mom!! I love you!!

Here are a few photos for you all. One for my Mom and a fun one of Ava's Thomas. I was trying to get him puffing his steam...See how boring I am? lol

Back to school...

I am now back in school. Christmas was good. I am too lazy to post pics. Maybe this week I will get around to it. I just wanted to spend as much time with the family as possible before heading back to school. I made it through the first day so the anticipation is over. I am trying to be possitive. At the end of this semester, I will have a year in and begin my clinicals in the fall. If I can make it through Microbiology and Anatomy/Physiology part II...Wish me luck

Here are a couple of layouts I did over the holiday...

Santa Photo

We convinced Ava to sit on Santa's lap. She still wouldn't without me. At least she gave a little smile. Too bad they cut most of her head off LOL.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

It's almost Christmas!!!

I am excited for Christmas. Ava is really getting into it this year. The boys are older and not so excited. I am really looking forward to spending time with all of my family. My brother is planning for he and Jonah to play music together. I think it will be fun!

We made a gingerbread house on Sunday. Jonah is such a perfectionist so he got a little anoyed with Miss Ava. It was so cute to watch them. Here are a few pics of the house. Hope you have a lovely day and enjoy the season!!

Photos!!!

Yes it has been a while since I blogged. I have been busy and I am happy to report that I am on winter break!! So completely happy about that. Maybe now I can get ready for Christmas...

We got some snow last night and Ava was so happy about it. She couldn't wait to get out in it. She and Jonah played outside for quite a while. She is already talking about going out in it tomorrow. They both had so much fun. Tonight they made a gingerbread house but I have not uploaded my photos yet. Hope you enjoy the photos. I am sure I will be posting a lot more since I now have so much more free time. :)

Halloween Photos

Halloween Photos-sort of. I didnt get any of Jonah. He is not too excited about it. I hope to get one of him in his costume soon. Since he says it is his last year of trick or treating. We'll see....Been super busy with school. This week was a blur. I am so ready for it to be over. I am just sick of studing...I will try to be a better blogger...Hope you enjoy the photos :)

Hello

Yes, it has been a while since my last post. I have been busy with midterms. I am extremely happy to report that my grades are good. I am so looking forward to Christmas break. Three weeks with no studies...

I have a few new photos of Ava. There is one of her and a worm. It may seem like any ordinary photo but it was a big step. She has been a bug killing machine this summer. Last week she and Jonah had a woolly worm. We all were playing with it and we let it go. She proceeded to stomp on it and proudly proclaim ,"I keeled it Mama!" I, being the super animal/creature freak, try to explain how sad it was that she did this. The only way I could get my point across was to say it can't go home to it's mommy now. Yes, I know I am extreme and I probably have scarred her for life. OK, so today she found a worm. She wanted me to pick it up. I said "Are you going to be gentle? Will you be nice to the worm?" She said she would. I pick it up and ask her if she would like to hold it. She says she is scared. I convince her that it will not hurt her. She lets it sit on her leg. She then want to hold the worm I place him (I think it is a him) in her palm. She then says,"let's put him down." I ask her if she is afraid and to remember to be nice." She says, "No, I not 'fraid. I want him down to see his mama." I think I really did get through to her. I hope she isn't too emotionally damaged...

Homecoming Pics

Just a quick post. Just wanted to share a few photos from homecoming. Have a great day!

Just a quick post. Click onthe link for a few more pics Super busy... Nothing like some quality time with my camera. Hope you have a lovely day!

a few photos

Not much new here. I have been studying a lot and I am in the midst of potty training Ava. My mom is so much help with this. I swear I would let her pee in her pants until kindergarten... Here are a few photos from the weekend. Don't you love Avas super cheesy smile? Have a lovely day!

Tagged

I was tagged by Amy and asked to post 7 random things about myself. I am only going to halfway complete the tag as I don't want to re-tag anyone...

1. I don't eat red meat. I love animals too much. :)

2. My birthday is Christmas and yes, it does bite.

3. I love to travel but hate to fly. I always feel like I will surely plummet to my death.

4. I love to run :)

5. I have birthday parties for my dogs :)

6. My favorite day of the year is Christmas Eve.

7. I hate to cook but love to bake.

OK, so this is what I will be purchasing today. I wish I could say that I would be spending all night enraptured by Dempsey but I have a lab quiz tomorrow and my first Chemistry exam Thursday. I thin I will sit it next to my bed so that the last image in my head is .... OK, I really need to get a life

Been a while...

It has been a little while since my last post. I have been quite busy with school. I am really enjoying it but it is a lot more work than I remember. I am getting into a routine and feeling much calmer and confident. I will let you know about any changes after my first exam next week...

I went to Rockome Gardens yesterday. It is an Amish Community-well Amishlike. I technically didn't see Any Amish. I got a few cute shots. I also went on an hour long horseback ride. My bum is a little tender today. but not so bad. I love to ride and it always refuels my desire to own my own horse or three. They also told me of a beautiful Mustang they will be selling. She is beautiful. I just adore mustangs. I will be begging and pleading with John for the next 5 days. But I doubt any of my pleas are going to be effective. Oh well I can dream....

I have been running every free chance I get. Trying to get my but back into race shape. The Susan G Komen Race for the Cure is October 6. I am feeling pretty good about it. I would just like to get my time down a bit. My only goal is 1. Not to puke. 2. Finish faster than last year.

Also here are a couple of layouts I did recently. Hope you enjoy!

PSA Tomorrow is the day to purchase the Grey's Anatomy Season 3 Seriously Extended DVD collection. I will be purchasing and drooling over every McDreamy moment until the Season Premire....Thank heaven for such beautiful pleasures....

OK that is all I have...Have a lovely day!

Its Official...

It is official. I am a college student once again. I can't believe I am actually doing it. I am glad to have the first week behind me. I am also happy to report that there are at least 3 people older than I am. They are all in their fifties. So I guess it is never too late.

Here are a few photos of Ava jumping on her bed last night and her taking a photo of mommy. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
