Scrappy Monday

I've been scrapbooking more lately. These are some layouts from a CKC class I took this summer. The picture are of Ethan and they were taken in 2005!!! I have some of Colin riding on the bull too, and I plan to do the same type layout of his photos.
The bird really doesn't "go" with the layout, but let's just pretend it's a cowbird??? okay?? This is what I get for buying all those cute embellishments when I'm a boy momma!!!

I'm off to clean up some of the messes around the house. At least I can enjoy the music while I work.......Colin is practicing his music for Region Jazz Band tryouts this Saturday. Oh the sweet sound of a bass trombone playing jazz~

Proud Momma Post

Gotta brag on my boys just a little. Colin is marching in the PHS band and loving it!!! Here they are marching onto the field...........
Can you pick Colin out of the pack??? He's right behind the pink flag in the middle of the photo playing t-bone.
I haven't decided whether or not I like the new uniforms...........but the colors definitely look good on Colin.
Ethan's football season started yesterday with their first game. Ethan made the "A" team as a defensive end, and he's also on special teams. They won their first game against Laporte 10-2, and Ethan's play of the game was when he recovered a fumble at the end of the 4th quarter!!!! Here's some highlights from the game:



That's it for my bragging.........with all the commotion they have brought into my life, it's nice to also brag on all the things they do that make me proud of them!!! That's life & right now life is good~

Scrappy Monday

It's Monday and instead of gloom & doom, I'm in quite the good mood! So is Maggie........
Every time I take photos of my layouts for my blog she poses for photos, too!!! I do believe she'd like the cooler weather to return so she could get a little "squirrel" action.

I had some fun this weekend. I did a layout that has been calling my name for quite some time. I have been in love with this photo of Colin since Andrea e-mailed it to me after our trip to Livingston. Here's the story behind the photo........all the boys went out on the boat to do some tubing. Colin quickly discovered that contact lenses and tubing don't mix, so Megan(Andrea's 4 yr. old daughter) was sweet enough to let him borrow her beloved pink goggles!!!! Surprisingly Colin wore them. Check out that smile on his face. I'm so glad Andrea got this photo, because he'd never have let me take it!!!

I used Authentique card stock & tags, Studio Calico veneer hearts, AC thickets, fiskar's border punch, and......Studio Calico white Mr.Huey mister.

Today I'll be the carpool queen, running kids all over town......plus we have meet the teacher tonight at the High School. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I get to "knit & bitch" with Debbie!!!!

Happy Monday~

It's done....finally!

Santa's Lap: I have been staring at these photos for way too long, and finally put together this layout. I used all sorts of stuff........pretty much everything but the kitchen sink!! I decided that I need a break from Christmas layouts(with triple digit temps it's sorta hard to get into the mood), and plan to move onto something else. I've been going back & forth between the boys school albums and vacation pics. I guess whatever catches my attention will be next on my list!

Tomorrow is the first PHS home game and I am giddy with anticipation!! I love high school football & can't wait to see the halftime show. Let's just hope the weather cooperates and we don't have a deluge of rain during the game~

****I guess I should have cropped the photo and made it larger, but I'm just too lazy at the moment. Click on it to enlarge it for details*****
