HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL!

I cannot believe my little Angel is now 6!!! She is such a joy full of humor and love! We are so thankful for her in our lives and thank God every day for this blessing! I LOVE YOU Ally Bug!

Halloween Night Fun!

Well our Super Girl had the best of time this evening! She was practically running from house to house! She was a little scared of some of the costumes out there, but over all she LOVED it! We were treated to dinner and cocoa at Gregg and Theresa's house after the trick or treating! What a great night! Now bring on CHRISTMAS, OH I mean Thanksgiving!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Good Morning! So Excited to take Allyson out this year! She is going to be Super Girl! The outfit is so ADORABLE! Pitures from the evening to follow, but for now, here are my Halloween Goodies that I made for the neighbors. It's a little plain, but took me forever to get done for some reason! OK, have a great safe fun night friends!!

Here are some photo's from the Mark Morris vs RA Long Civil War 64 Game. We met up with Steve Emily and Ryan, and later Nancy Allen and Homer showed up. I saw a bunch of people that I went to high school with there, which was crazy because some of them were there watching their SENIOR child playing in the game. I really started late!!! Allyson had so much fun, she sat in her chair and eat her popcorn and did not take her eyes off the game. She was a ROCKSTAR! OK, everyone have a great Saturday!

Fall stuff 2010

So these photos are from today. Allyson went to school in costume today, she was the princess! She will be something different for Halloween - you will have to tune in for that! Then after school we went down to Freddies and got the silly photos in the Christmas section!! The photos of me are taken by Allyson (with a little help from mommy) Well off to get dinner ready in a hurry we are off to the Civil War game between MM and Jacks! Hopefully Buggie will play along!
Chow for now!!! Thanks for stopping by!

Carving Pumpkins 2010

We finally got our pumpkins carved here! Usually the gutting duties are up to me, but this year Allyson tried her hand at it, and she LOVED it! She had so much fun and was so happy the whole time! Larry got into the action and carved one of the pumpkins this year. His creation is the vampire pumpkin!
OK, thanks for stopping by!

Zoo Trip

Levenworth Fall Trip 2010

We took a trip to Levenworth a few weeks ago with the Johnson Family. What a wonderful time we had! Steve found an AMAZING house for us to stay in, it was right on the Weenachee River and loaded with amenities! We got to experience October Fest and was it ever packed! There were lines to get into the Hat Store and the line to buy something in the Christmas store was a mile long! The people watching was great! Lots of people had on crazy hats and some dressed in costume. The next day we stopped of at the Smallwood Farm to get pumpkins and of course LOTS of photos! What a great time we had there as well. We took a hay ride, shot apples at targets, watched pumpkins being shot out of a cannon and got a little shopping in as well. Thanks to the Johnson Family for such a wonderful weekend!

Random's

So first up is this priceless photo! I was sitting at the computer and Allyson came to me with the Meat Thermometer in her mouth as though she was checking her temperature! SO OF COURSE I had to capture that on film!! She is so stinking funny!
I just thought she looked very cute in this photo and such a big girl. She loves to swing so much her favorite right now.
I love the crooked smile on her face as she poses with her play dough creation.

This is my fun little Felt monster that I made. Inspired by Betsy Veldman over at PTI. So her's is WAY WAY cuter but I thought this was pretty cute. Don't know what I am going to do with it, but cute none the less!

Here is Allyson with Uncle Justin (Unlce J). We got such a treat to be able to see Justin a few weeks ago. He was out with his Girlfriend Kelsey who was attending a wedding of her best friend. Justin came bearing gifts, for the adults, donuts from Voodoo Doug nuts! Yummy! Next a super fun play dough set and Dolly for Allyson! We so miss you Justin and thanks for fitting us into your busy visit! Can't wait to see you again soon!

I thought this was a cool random pic. The last signs of summer my petunia on it's last "leg"!

This was a gift I made for my mom using the "From the Desk Of" template over at PaperTrey Ink. I made the flowers just from white card stock and sprayed them with Glimmer Mist. I made the tag using my slice. I am so making this one for myself. I LOVE the pink and chocolate color combo. I filled it up with makeup for the most perfect girly gift! SO mondo post I know but I had to get caught up! Now I better get taking more photos or make something so I will have something to blog about!!

Halloween Tree

What a soggy weekend we are having! OH well you live around here and you know it's going to come sooner or later. Makes me feel a lot less guilty to sit of the couch with my jammies on and my laptop perched on my lap! Just finished with my Halloween Tree, I started making the ornaments last year and finished up a few last night. I SO LOVE how this turned out. The photo's are from Halloween two years ago. Grandma Tutu made the costume and it is by far my favorite so far! Don't you just love it! Tyneal let me know if you want one! (of your own kids of course!)

Thursday we meet Daddy for dinner after work and afterwards it was Mommy and Ally time. We started out going to the lake to play on the new toys that just opened up. She had a blast climbing, even though it was a little tough in that princess dress! Next on the to do list was to feed the ducks. We have tried this before but she didn't really get the concept for some reason. This time she had a BLAST! She did scare me a bit, she would run after them and get right on the bank of the lake!! But got myself some great photos!! The last stop was ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery!! YUMMY! She ended up very sick the next day and we had to stay home from school and work. I know she was going to get something after playing on the new toy! But luckily it only lasted less than 24 hours! She was good to go the next day!

Halloweeeen Time!!

This year when looking thru all my Halloween Mags. I fell in love with the idea of doing a mantle in all black and white. I LOVE how this turned out! I am sure this will be a repeat next year! So love this time of the year! Still working on getting all my decorations up! Will post more when done! Have a good week! OH, Toe! Thanks for still looking at my blog!!

Also, I deleted my Facebook profile, I had someone get into my account and change my password, that got me a little freaked out. I have to say I am going thru Facebook with drawls!! I was definitely an addict!!

A Few Digi Pages!

I'm BACKKK!

Ok, make no promises on the consistency of the posts but I am going to try to keep this thing updated. I get so crafty at this time of the year that I have to share it somewhere. OK, Justin and Bethie, you are probably the only ones that look at this, so here ya go!

So Much to Share!

Well once again a little behind the eight ball on my blogging! Seems like this was the fastest January has EVER gone by! Now we are already 4 days into February!

So I will share a few crafty things that I have done lately.

This is a Thank You card that I made for a friend that had us over for a Sunday of Football watching. I had to hand cut the football, so it is not as perfect as I would of liked it to be, but still turned out cute (I thought anyway!)

These are some Bird Houses that I did as Thank You cards for a few friends. I didn't get very good photos of them for some reason? I used a freebee template from Papertrey Inc, by Nichole Heady.

OK, well I guess that is all for now, cut short Allyson woke up from her nap! Share more later!

I just love this photo! This was the day we went sledding at Lake Wenachee when we were in Levenworth. I think I snapped about 20 shots just to capture this ONE good shot. Allyson was in a really bad mood this day (On my Birthday?!) and she was not giving me anything! I just told Larry to make her laugh don't worry about posing and this is what we got! I LOVE this digi Layout! All done with Miss Sabby Jenn goodies! Thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Share

So thanks to my Scrappin Sis-In-Law, she keeps me updated with all the BEST scrapping sites to follow! Quickly becoming my new favorite is Papertrey Ink. She has created some BEAUTIFUL things using the products from this site! I have only shopped in the Template section as of yet, but one of these days I will be branching out!

So Lauren Meader has these great templates you can download and create all sorts of treasures with. One of my favorites is the FILED WITH FLAIR template. I created this for a Bunco prize last April when I was hostess. It was a big hit the gal that one it was so excited and I have been getting requests for it as birthday gifts! The idea came from Nichole Heady's Blog and I know that I will be making this over again, maybe I will actually make one for myself?!

Greetings from Levenworth!

Well we are having a birthday getaway in Levenworth this weekend! When we arrived it was looking like I was not going to get my Birthday wish of snow, but as soon as we finished an early dinner and headed out to explore the town, it started to snow!!!! So as we stroll the streets of this magical little Bavarian town we are being kissed with snowflakes!
What a great way to start the new year! OK, off to explore the hotel and take pictures!!
Chow for now! Happy New Year!
