these photos are from last week! hannah, ainsley & daddy had a rock band! Thomas played the guitar while Hannah played the harmonica and Ainsley danced! It was so cute! They planned their "big show" for a few days, so Hannah practiced and practiced and practiced! No wonder I had a headache all week! :)

What were you like in highschool?




You Were the All American Kid



Popular but not plastic. Athletic but not a jock. Smart but not a brain.



You were well rounded and well liked in high school.



This is the first one of these that has been utterly & completely wrong! I was the biggest nerd in highschool and only had a few friends. Oh well! Glad that's over...

You have to listen to this!

Hey Ya Cover @ YouTube

It won't let me embed the coding in this post, but it is amazing! Thanks, T for pointing it out! So, if you want to listen to an accoustic version of a crazy pop song, head on over!

Another fun project!


I made this fun clipboard for Hannah to use to practice her writing! Now I need to make about a million more of these. I love them!

Keeping Busy!


I just made these adorable little invitations for a friend for a Grandma Shower for a lady at her office. What a fun idea! These invitations were so much fun! I did the design in Photoshop using goodies by Melissa Bennett, Misty Cato & Krystal Hartley. Then I printed them at Kinko's, cut them out. MOD PODGED (love that stuff!) them to coasters. Sanded them. Added an eyelet. Tied ribbon through the eyelet. Glued on the little You're Invited circles. Voila! A hybrid invitation all done! Now I get to ship these little babies out tomorrow!

Do you have an accent?

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

The Midland
Boston
North Central
The Inland North
Philadelphia
The South
The Northeast

She gave Mommy a hug, but then she wanted to snuggle with her big sister. I LOVE that my girls LOVE each other so much! They fight a lot, but they sure do love to snuggle and play together, too! It just melts my heart to see them all cuddled up together!

this is my little glitter addict! she puts glitter EVERYWHERE and on EVERYTHING. Last night it was inside a tupperware bowl that she wanted to make into a sailboat, but not just any sailboat... a PRETTY sailboat! Thankfully, she doesn't use loose glitter, just glitter glue, much cleaner that way! :)
these photos are from last month, her first glitter glue experience!

Hannah's Big Girl Cutie Haircut!




We ran to Great Clips on Friday night to get Thomas' hair cut. Hannah decided that she wanted a cute summery haircut. So, we had it cut just above her shoulders. I was so scared that we were going to cut off all her pretty curls, but they sprung right up! It's so cute and she looks like a real little girl! The bottom photo is Hannah talking to Aunt Angie on the phone this afternoon!

My Happy Place Layout

One of the challenges at the Sweet Shoppe this week is to blog about one of your layouts that makes you happy! Here is mine!


This picture was taken in June, right before we left to head up to the cabin. It was a beautiful summery day and we had just turned Ainsley's carseat around to front-facing. The babies were in a great mood and were having so much fun together. We stopped by Thomas' office to pick him from work to head out of town, and while we were waiting for him, I caught this photo! LOVE it! This photo just captures the personalities of my girls! I made the layout in 8x8, but I wish I had made it a 12x12 so it would take up more room in my scrapbook!

Another new layout ... yep! for fun!
