Back SOON, I promise.
Been one hell of a wacky week, with bombshells around every corner...

Thank you card

Just wanted to share real quick, I got the most beautiful thank you card from my ADORABLE sister in the mail yesterday:

And they way it opens to reveal the message behind the circle is so very cool! Ofcourse it is much better in person but you get the idea. Just wanted everyone to share the creativity!!!

Have a great day!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL!!

(one day late)

I unfortunately I did not actually get to see my mom yesterday, but I did talk to her on the phone.

Holidays always make me miss living close to my family.

So we had a very very busy weekend, friday evening we got a call from Rich's grandma that his Aunt, Uncle, Cousin & her husband and girls were going to be in town on saturday, visiting from Texas. Saturday, about 3:30 Rich called to inform me that we were meeting the Dorsett's for lunch on Sunday at 12:00 at the park in Augusta. So, before we could go out to grandma's house I made the second trip to the grocery to get stuff to take for dessert on sunday, then we went to grandma's house for a few hours to visit with Rich's family. Sunday I got up and made breakfast, baked a gluten free cake for Kris (she is allergic) and started getting things together to go, and Rich asks me if we have paper plates and silverware! Of course we don't... he told me that we were bringing dessert & drinks. So I make my 3rd trip to the grocery store in two days. When I get home I toss the peach crisp in the oven, it is about 11:15 now and Rich asks me how long it takes to bake. I tell him about 45 minutes and he about has a cow. Then he tells me that we have to be at the park at 11:30! I calmly inform him that he told me on saturday that we would be meeting everyone at the park at 12:00, this is where he interjects and lets me know that WE are supposed to get there early to save a spot. I again inform him (after taking a rawther large breath and letting it out slowly) that if he needs to be there early to save the spot & since he neglected to tell me that until 15 minutes before hand, that he could go and save the spot and that I would be happy to meet him there at 12:00. And then the strangest thing happened. He loaded everything into the truck, came back into the house and sat down. Didn't say a word. And at 12:00 we all drove to the park together, had a lovely afternoon watching the boys play football and soccer. The end.

I do wish I would have had a little more down time for mothers day, but the most important thing is that I got to spend time with family. I hope that you all got to relax and enjoy your weekend!!

My boy is home!!!! I swear he grew an inch or two since I have seen him. Had a great weekend, chopped lots and lots of hair off and I am well on my way to being blonde again. Cleaned house and went to the grocery on saturday, then sunday the girls came over and scrapbooked. My friend Jill whom I have not seen in way too long brought along her angel baby girl!! Can I just tell you how much I love love love babies? I just can't wait until my new niece or nephew arrives. There is just something magical and innocent about babies that I just cannot resist, seriously-ever since I was a little kid I have always been drawn to babies. So, I got a little scrappin done and a whole lotta cuddling in. And I still can't get over how much Chase's voice is changing, he is such a man now. (makes me feel OLD!) He had such a wonderful time on vacation, told me that he personally took about 600 pictures, if thats not a child of mine I don't know what is. I am looking forward to seeing what and who he took pictures of. I told him that he might have even taken more pictures at Disney than his Aunt Neyse, and that just might be a record. Thank goodness for digital cameras! Rich and his "man-date" friend Bill went and saw Iron Man, he said it was pretty good. He was still pretty whiny about having to leave and not being able to take a nap on the couch all day long, but he will get over it. More amunition to have a basement in the next house, LOL! Well gotta go-hope everyone enjoys the beautiful weather today!!
