Active Challenge

2009-08-14T05:44:00.000-07:00

Okay, so much of you know that I am not an exercising type of person, well...Charlie and I have started the 30 day Active Challenge with the Wii. We just completed day 12 last night. It has been lots of fun working out with my spouse. We have laughed, grunted and groaned together!! I really like the graphics and the exercises. Charlie says that it is like muscle confusion. So we do one exercise and then change to something else, then go back to the original exercise! Wow...you do sweat!! Yuck! I also like that if you want to play this game you have to be dedicated...or else you are out. So dedication and motivation are the keys to this whole experience! Keep your fingers cross! Have a super ACTIVE day!

Saturday afternoon we headed off to Rockdale for a youth rodeo...unfortunately it wasn't our rodeo...but we had so much fun!! I am so blessed to have such a beautiful and sweet daughter!! I am anxious to see what the future holds for sweet Macy!!

Hey all! Well, I am working on Christmas cards for my Christmas card and scrapbooking class that will be on November 15th from 10 a.m. to Noon at the Hobby Lobby in Georgetown! This card is an A2 which means it is 4.25X5.5.

It gives you lots of working room and I really enjoyed it! The layout was inspired by SCS 200th card Sketch Challenge!

Here is the recipe:

Old Olive Cardstock, I Wish DP, Whisper White

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red

Accessories: Stampin Up Dimensionals, Blender pens, Misc. Ribbon, Circle Scallop Punch

I am really getting excited about the holidays and cranking out some great cards! TFL!!

We headed to the Ranch this last weekend to celebrate my daddy's birthday!! This is a pic of all the kids, Little Renee and Daddy. We had made dad his favorite cake for his birthday, Pineapple upside Down Cake! It was so yummy and I was pretty impressed with myself! It was wonderful to see my dad and to see him so happy!

Oh my goodness! I had so much fun making this card. My sweet husband suggested that I stand the card up on its side instead of laying it down.

All in all, I am pretty happy with the way the card turned out! Baja Breeze was my inspiration as far as adding the final touches!

Recipe:

Whisper White CS cut 10.5X5

Score the card at 1.25", 2.5", 4.25", 6" and 8.25"

fold accordingly!

I suggest stamping before folding! Then add any embellies or extras that you wish!

Lazy Saturday

2008-09-27T09:25:00.000-07:00

Wow! Cameron is running in Cedar Park with the Georgetown Cross Country team. We were all suppose to go. Charlie was to ride the bus and Bella and I were suppose to meet them. Well, obviously plans do change. Bella woke up this monring with a tummy ache, so Charlie decided to stay around. Well, we all ended up sleeping until 10:00 am!! Amazing!! Yesterday I worked a ten hour day with the infants at the learning center!! I didn't think it would be that difficult, but wow!! It was a really long day! We were also suppose to attend one of my very sweetest friend ever birthday suprise party, but we had to arrive by 6:30p.m. ...well, I didn't get off and away from church until 6:15, so we didn't make it! I was really so disappointed! Anyway, i am sure she had a wonderful night! Well, gotta get! The house, the kids, etc. are calling!

Spring Break

2008-03-19T10:56:00.001-07:00

Macy and Ross spent the beginning of Spring Break with Charlie and I. My Aunt Betty hosted all of us on a cruise boat on the river in San Antonio. We had dinner and wonderful conversation! Greg, my brother, and his family came. My sweet cousin Sherry from Tennesse and her family were there. Her mother, my aunt Judy and Uncle Clyde also joined us, as well as her youngest daughter, Laurie. We had so much fun chatting and giggling!

Ice Skating

2008-03-11T20:17:00.000-07:00

This last weekend, Macy and Ross were here. Macy for some strange reason got this thought in her beautiful head that we should all go ice skating....well, at least Charlie, Macy and Ross. When I was living at Sandi's house, Ross had his skate board outside and I decided to ride it, well I didn't really ride it, I fell...really hard and wet myself...I had to try to hide it from the kids and well, after that I am not as confident about doing stuff that might make me fall, for fear of wetting myself again. Anyway, it was really fun watching Macy, Ross and Charlie skate around...and of course I took pictures.

Charlie was out-of-town a few days last week, so Bella and I decided to make brownies together. These are the pictures that I scrapped preserving the moment. Obviously the sugar got to her!!!!!!!!!!!!
