Whiff Of Joy Blog Candy

I found a really great blog with some amazing cards last night....I love her artwork....She has a chance to win some Whiff of Joy blogs candy check it out here before October 17th for a chance to win....Good Luck....

Not much going on today....Our new baby has been a little sick throwing up and runny you know what....So last night I was up with her and his morning she was just laying there not moving which really scared me....She truly has become my baby and I love her so much....So anyhow I had to wait until eight and then take her to the vet which she doesn't like being in her carrier so she cried all the way there....And made herself so upset that she made you know what all over the inside, top, bottom and sides of her carrier....So I had a sick baby all day....It has been awhile since I've had a baby ya know....But she is feeling better and starting to act like her cute playful self again and we are so happy for that.....

So about the cards I have one almost done it needs a few finishing touches but I might get it on here tonight or in the morning....I have been doing a lot of sewing on my cards and I'm just loving it....I have had a few people ask about the sewing machine that I use so I wanted to share that info....I have Janome Petite which is a mini sewing machine that does like eight different stitches and it was like $99.99 so very reasonable....I got mine at the scrapbook store I worked at but I want to say that I saw one at wal-mart....I will get back with more information next time I go to wal-mart....Well I need to get back to coloring so I can post....Thanks for stopping by....

Our New Baby!

Isn't she the cutest thing you have ever seen.....I'm so in love....It's a girl.....I have waited my whole life for another girl to be in the house.....So let me tell you about her....Her name is Bella what can I say this is what the boys agreed to....Angela (Dominick) or Bell (Jared) and of course dad say how about dog so I said what about Bella and that was the end of it....She is half Chihuahua and half Brussel Griffen....She is chocolate Brown (which goes so well with pink).....She will be about 8 to 10 pounds when she is fully grown....She is such a cuddling baby....It's just like having a brand new baby in the house......She eats, sleeps, goes bathroom and plays and then does it all over again....So I haven't been spending much time stamping as I have been attending to the new baby.....We are all so excited about the new addition to the family and I wanted to share.....Happy stamping and thanks for stopping by....

We Miss The Girls!

We were so lucky to have the girls come and stay with us for two weeks....The have grown up into young women (which sure makes us feel old) and such great girls....It makes me miss living on the mainland.....We don't get to see them so much although they have come to visit often....I'm not sure if it's to see us or to visit Hawaii.....Maybe both....I had to get a few shots of them all together and as I was editing them this one was just my favorite.....The girls are Vernon's sisters daughters and even Vernon is shocked at how grown up they are.....Well I just wanted to share this quick picture of the the kids together....Happy Friday!!!
Thanks for stopping by...

Taking The Bike Out

Things sure have been busy here....The girls are here and we are loving it so much....Even the boys are enjoying it.....Although I'm not sure they would admit it....This is a picture of my husband Vernon and our niece Rebekah going for a ride on the bike.....It worked out well because she can fit my jacket and helmet.....I know your surprised that it's pink but of course when I saw it I knew that was the one I wanted.....They went our for awhile and I was able to get a few shots of them....Now Melissa wasn't so ready to get on the bike with her Uncle I think she might be a little scared.....Maybe next time....I have been very busy with the boys school work, football practice and our visitors but I have been able to get a few cards made....I will post them next.....Have a great night....Thanks for stopping by...

Jared's Graduation

He got so many leis for his graduation and he was
so happy with all the excitement....

He looks like such a big boy and two
teeth missing....

My three boys.....I love them so much....

Jared's Graduation pictures........How cute is he in that cap and gown.....When did he grow up and where was I when that happened.......

The Centipede

On Monday night I was out in the garage cleaning up and the boys were riding their skateboards and I saw this huge nasty centipede......So I sent Jared into the house to grab the camera.....And these are the pictures I got before and after I killed it......Some people are super afraid of certain bugs or insects and just flip out.......Not so much for me.......Now I wouldn't be one to have any type of pets that could escape and crawl up my leg or something......The boys and I were trying to figure out how many legs it had......I don't think I had ever actually seen a centipede until I lived here in Hawaii......Well just thought I would share......Nasty huh?

So I have been MIA for awhile once again because we have a lot going on right now......Jared graduates from Kindergarten tonight and his last day of school is tomorrow so we are excited about that......Jared also has a birthday coming up here soon.......He is going to be 6 how has that happened......So we are preparing for his party.......Dad was away for a few weeks but he is home now and working long hours so we don't get to see him all that much......So that sucks for us......

I have been a very busy getting some much over due house projects done......I finally cleaned out the garage and finished going through boxes and getting rid of the crap.......I have also been cleaning and purging my craft room....Always fun to find a bunch of stuff you forgot you had.......I even vacuumed in there which is a HUGE deal because usually there is just to much stuff everywhere to even consider getting the vacuum in the room.......So that makes me so happy......I will have to take pictures this weekend and post my scrap space.....I will go and post some cards how........Have a great day........Love Love

Pro-Bowl 2008

This is a picture of us from the Pro-Bowl....We were so happy that Dominick was picked to participate in this event.....Although looking at the picture makes me feel kind of bad that Jared is missing......Maybe next year he will get to go with us......What a great day.......Love Love

The Day Before Superbowl!

So I was looking at my blog today and I realized that it's been a week since I posted.......I need to take pictures of the stuff I have been making.........I have been doing a lot.......We have been so busy and the boys have been sick and home from school which isnt really a lot of fun for me.......

Some great news to share........Dominick (my oldest) has been playing football for a few years now and is just this total football fan now.......We are San Diego Charger fans......So he has just got so into this whole thing.........You know me I could take it or leave it but really dont care......So him and dad went to the Pro-Bowl last year and that was a great time for him and they always have to get good seats up front.......This year my husband was going to be in San Diego so we didnt get tickets when they went on sale........No big deal right......Well I got a phone call from Coach and he said that the team has been invited to participate in the Pro-Bowl doing something at half time and getting some time with the players........But the parents would'nt be able to come unless we had our own tickets.....So he would be sponsoring the kids........Well my DH actually comes home today and this week I scrambled to get tickets and they had to be good seats or what's the point of going........So we are happy to say $300.00 later we got great seats and I'm on the asile so taking all my pictures wont be a problem........I will be using my big lens and hopefully will get some great shots.......So we are a very excited family........As for tomorrow my husband is home so we have our usual friends coming over to eat and drink and chat which is always a good time.......Except that I always feel the need to 1. Cook To Much Food 2. Clean house like crazy........Hey maybe we should have friends over more often.......What does that stamp say "A CLEAN HOUSE IS THE SIGN OF A LAZY STAMPER".......Well when I have to clean and cook then I dont get to stamp and scrap........Not good.......But I should be back to it tomorrow night and hopefully will get all my pictures posted.......Well I just wanted to check in and tell you where I've been.......Oh I got a package in the mail today........I'm so hooked on Hanna Stamps and Bellas right now it' just crazy....Love it Love it...Well have a great weekend.......Love Love

Another Day!

Well it's Tuesday and that means another busy day..........You know for not having a real paying job I sure seem to be busy everyday.....So much to do and I don't seem to get everything done.....Shocking I know.......I have been completing projects and that always makes me happy I finished a 12x12 layout, my advent calendar, and some cards.......I will take pictures and post them later today.......Jared went back to school yesterday and the house seems so quiet with nobody home.....Dominick comes home on Sunday and I'm ready I miss my boy......He has never been away from us for so long before........He told me yesterday that his missed mom's cooking which always makes me feel good.......Vernon is in San Diego right now doing a school he flew in Sunday night and the weather was so bad they weren't letting planes leave so there wasn't a spot for them to pull into so they had to wait on the plane for about an hour......That would have drove me nuts........And then he and his bags got soaking wet from the rain trying to get out of the airport and checked into his room.......We miss daddy when he is away.......but he has been home for the last four months so I shouldn't complain.......He wont be gone that long just a few weeks........I have been cleaning house.......Fun I know.......Vernon helped me get all the Christmas stuff put away before he left and that was nice.....So the house is starting to get back to normal.......Oh and yesterday I got my orders from Stampin Up!.....Stuff from the new catalog so I am hoping to get sometime today to make some cute cards........Valentines Day is just around the corner.......Well I hear my coffee and hot shower calling me so I will go for now but I will post some pictures later....Love Love.....Have a great day!
