HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!

Well I had a good Mother's Day I hope all the Moms out there did. Although I was supposed to go to the zoo for mothers day I did not make it there cause I decided to rent a game called Kingdom Hearts 2 and I played it til 4am so when 8am came I was like no its my day and I AM NOT GETTING UP LOL so we ended up going to a local attraction by us called Kingwood Manor they have a huge flower garden and it is just lovely I got some great pictures of the girls for my scrapbook. Which was part of my mothers day present and also my youngest daughter got me a whole bunch of new scrapbooking things for mothers day and my other daughter got me candles, decorative soaps and picture frames of course cause I am addicted to Picture Frames. So here are some of my pictures that I took today at the garden. hope you like them.

Scrapbooking FUN :)

Well I have turned into a scrapbooking queen in the past few weeks. I even dream about scrapbooking. I have created a few pages in the past few days all though the pages are not completely finished the way I want them I decided to share them with you all so I can get some comments if you have any ideas about how to make them better let me know :)



This first one is actually one I did in febuary I entered it into a contest and won 3rd prize which I guess is ok considering it was thrown together in the last hours of the contest needless to say the contest was make a page about Love so I decided to go with the them Puppy Love cause we had alot of pictures of my Dogs parents and they are so cute :) These pages are part of my scrapbook about back in the day I just do not know where the time goes. I have ideas for some more embellishments on these pages I am really looking for some like 80s themed stickers maybe something with an atari controller or Nintendo from back in the day seeing how most of these pics were from way back then :)
These two pages are done I dont think I can do much more to them. They are just two of many with my daughters on them of course they are my whole life so more then half my book will be of them. And to top it off I am creating them their own scrapbooks each from baby up til they graduate and I am going to give it to them as one of their graduation presents :) Man I cant wait it seems so far and looking back on all the pages I have made in their books already is so exciting :)
Here is a few pages from Ashleys Birthday Party this year I like the pages and do not want to over do it but the little shopping backs really open and I am gonna paste some tissue paper in them make it look like they have presents in them :)


If you have any ideas or likes or dislikes leave me comments and let me know. Thanks :)

Spring Pics :)

Well the girls came home today with their spring pics but my god the prices are outrageous I think. I mean I have two kids and we already did the beginning of school pics which were like 30.00 per kid for one of the cheapest packages and now spring pics are 44.00 per kid per pack or u can buy them one sheet at a time for 12.00 for first sheet 11.00 for second and so on but her i scanned them in and that is about all im gonna do I may buy one sheet per kid but I am not gonna do much more then that cause I can go get family photos for the amounts they want me to do on these school pics.

And then of course they throw in the cute black and white photos that I LOVE SO MUCH!!!!!! I wish I could print them out a good quality but for some reason I cant.

Happy Easter

Well we decided to go to Michigan for Easter last minute on Saturday morning so we get up and the weather says we are going to get snow but at that point it was only little bits so we decide to go ahead and go we pack the car and get on the road :) We made it there no problems the roads were not bad at all although there were a few times that we got a heavy flurry and it went as fast as it came and we made it there and the kids had a great Easter and they are getting to spend Spring Break with family in Michigan which is great cause they miss everyone there so so much. Here are a few pictures of our Day. I am now back home in ohio so in the past 35 hours I have driven in the car for a total of like 8 hours and got like 5 hours of sleep the rest of the time I was up and having a great time LOL.

Busy Busy Busy

Well I have been busy busy busy. Dr. Appointments and still no new news on Ashley they say so far just looks like a fluke thing that happened. But also last weekend we went to the IX indoor amusement park I got all the pics on myspace if anyone wants to check them out. Also I went thru all my scrapbooking things and put alot of them on ebay for sell and I am gonna probably put another Lot up if these ones sell I put a small Lot up first to see how it works but I have a lot that Retail Values for over 500.00 and I am gonna put it up next week I realized I have been buying and buying and I buy doubles of everything But have came to realize I do not use even half of one package LOL I thought I would use alot more of the embellishments but I am more of a Decorated paper person I have so many its insane Tim said it is about time I went thru all of it I need a room of its own for all my scrapbooking stuff LOL. But anyhow what does he know he is a MAN. Well Got lots to do hope everyone has a great Easter and I will try and update more later and add some pictures too.

The worst scare of my life so far......

Well what a day let me say it has not been a good one. I get that phone call all mothers know too well it is the school calling during the middle of the day first thought well one of the kids are sick you never expect to hear what I heard today. This is the nurse calling and we believe that your daughter Ashley had a mini stroke. I almost dropped the phone. I had to call tim get him off work early rush to school rush to the ER then 5 hours later I am told by the ER doctor that after a CT scan that they think that the nurse at school over reacted and that it maybe a stigmatism in the eye and also she has a sinus infection. I am thankful that it was not a mini stroke but I am extremely P.O'd cause I have been thru hell today over this. See long story short my daughter experienced about 2 minutes of total blindness she could not see anythign she told her teacher who rushed her to the nurse as her eye sight came back her eyes were crossed and she was having double vision. Then after observing her the nurse sent her back to class where she could not even write her name on the paper then I am called and told she may have had a mini stroke. I am telling you that 30 minutes before I could get to my daughter I went thru a million emotions and thoughts I was in tears from the moment I put down the phone til the moment I walked in the school then to see her with her little eyes crossed I was so worried. And then to wait for 5 hours well running a CT scan. Then once her eyes regained their correct position they gave her an eye test and she passed it with 20 20 vision. I am like ok well how the heck does a sinus infection possible make you go blind and double vision for over 3 hours I dont know if these doctors even know what there talking about or is it the nurse at the school I have no clue. I am scheduling follow ups with her regular doctor so I will keep you up dated. But I pray that it was just some fluke thing that happened and does not happen again.

Keep your friends close and your Enemies even closer LOL

I had to get the camera out and take pictures when I came in the living room the other day and found my dog and cat lying by each other. These two are hilarious together my cat "Toni" has been declawed and is a very too herself kind of cat she only lets you pet her when she wants you to and she does not like the dog at all. Jackson on the other hand is a nut he loves to chase her and try to get her to play with him. Dont get me wrong she has her share of harrassing him. Some days she will come over pounce on him and run under our coffee table that he does not fit under and he gets so frustrated he runs in circles a million times barking at her. But on this day I think she just figured that she should keep her friends close and Jackson a little closer LOL

Here is another of them two when they got there own little couches back in december they actually liked each other then too.
