What a Day!!!!!

Today started out soooooooo nice......the sunshine was out, it was warm outside, and everything just looked like it was going to be beautiful!!! Well, that beautiful went right down the drain!!

I got the news today that my niece, who is going to be 16 in september, is pregnant! Oh my gosh!!!! This just can't be!! I can't believe it! But, she went to the doctor and it turns out she really is! Wow......this has hit my like a ton of bricks! This girl has been like a daughter to me through out her life....I just want to strangle her!! I guess THAT'S out of the question NOW!! I hope for her baby's sake, that she straightens up and starts taking responsibility and accountability for her own actions and words.....up to now, she hasn't.....she blames everyone else.....well, we'll see what happens!! Sorry to vent, but I had to get it out! I hope and pray that all goes well for her, I really do...but that poor baby......there are already 6 kids in that family!! They barely have enough money now as it is to support their family, and with another child on the way......OMGosh! Well, it's done now. She is going to finish school!! No more miss nice aunt!! LOL!! Okay, that's enough for today! Thanks for listening!
I'm outta here!

Yay for scrappy time!

That's right, I finally had a little bit 'O scrappy time the past couple of days.....not much, but enough that I did a layout over those couple of days! LOL!! I even made my own paper flowers on it! Pretty cool eh?! LOL! Well, I thought so.
This layout was inspired by a sketch at The Shaker Box! If you get a chance, stop by and check them out! It's a small site and could use a few more friends!! Thanks for looking!


Well, I hope to get scrappy again tonite, we'll see how things go! This weekend is full of birthday parties, so it should be a fun weekend! Yay for fridays, weekends, and family!!

Mother's Day Weekend

What a wonderful Mother's Day weekend I had! Hubby and girls got mommy some flowers! Aren't they soooooooo pretty?!!



There's a funny story behind the flowers though, it still makes me giggle! Hubby had ordered some roses online for me to get the Thursday before Mother's Day.....well, Thursday came, and hubby called to see if I got a delivery. I said, "Nope, nothing today!" He said "WHAT???!!!, They were supposed to be here today!" Well, he called and complained that his order did not arrive, even though it gave confirmation of it being delivered online! Well, the company told him that they'd send a new order, but I wouldn't get it for Mother's Day. Well, little did we know, the flowers had been left at our neighbors house at the end of our driveway. I got them Friday morning. When I brought them home, I called hubby to tell him that I got the first order! He asked how I liked the roses! I said, "They aren't roses, but they are very pretty!" Here is a picture of the pretty bouquet!



He said they were SUPPOSED to be ROSES! Well, that's okay I said, we'll see what the next order brings, if it makes it to our house! LOL! Well, hubby called today and asked if I got a delivery......I told him no at first but then I went to check at the front door, and there was a box! He said, okay, let's open it and make sure we got roses this time!! Lo and behold, we got roses this time! They are just beautiful!! All different colors too.....I just LOVE them! I told hubby that I LOVE flowers, any kinds really....they all just smell sooooo wonderful! Anyhow....here are some pictures of my pretty roses!! I have such a wonderful family!




And they even gave me some time to scrap over the weekend.....it was a great weekend!

May Days

Here is a picture of park of the 100 acre park near JCC where we went to help beat the heat one day.......not sure if it helped or not! LOL!!


Wow, I can't believe that the first week of May is gone already! That was so fast! Rachel is standing a little bit on her own now, even if it is just for a few seconds, it's on her own!! She is saying Ma ma ma ma ma now more than ever.....boy, that makes mommy feel good! LOL!! I can't believe that she's 9 months!! What a little bundle of joy she is! I love my little baby girl! Here is a pic of her feeling the heat when we were at the 100 acre park by JCC April 27. Doesn't she look warm?!!


Julie loves playing with her little sister too, although sometimes she can be just a little toooo rough, but I guess that's to be expected! We just watch to make sure nobody gets hurt! LOL!! Julie is almost finished with this school year, another six weeks or so!! Yay!! I can't wait for this year to be finished, it hasn't been a terrible year for Julie, but it hasn't been that great either. I hope that she has a good first grade teacher next year, one that help encourage her to be excited to learn. She loves to read here at home, so I hope that'll continue!! Here are a couple pics of Julie enjoying the warmer weather at the 100 acre park in the creek!



Well, off to do my household chores and such........laundry and picking up are ALWAYS calling my name!! LOL!! I hope to work on a little mommy's day scrapbooking project for my mommy in law! She's the bestest!! Oh, I have found a new little scrapbooking site called, " The Shaker Box " and it's pretty cool! Very friendly site! I encourage you to stop by and check it out!

Okay, have a great day! It's rainy and gloomy here, but it's going to be a wonderful day regardless!!
