Swap card for this weekend.... watch for fun in the Sand!


So here is the card I sent to Loveland for the Team Meeting I cannot attend again!! Even though I can't be there it is still fun swapping. This weekend I will be posting the pictures from our little trip to the Great Sand Dune National Park! Loads of fun - the kind you can bring home with you! Wondered why my socks were so heavy - there was probably still 3-4 Tablespoons worth of sand in the toes!!


Anyway - back to Stamping - if anyone is interested in buying kits to make their own Christmas cards - either from what you have seen here or I can send you ideas using other stamp sets - let me know and I can get you a price and get your materials ordered - complete with instructions on what sizes of cardstock to cut, assembly, everything!

October 7, 2007

That is the day that Samson "Naughty Boy" was born! And his friend Erin up north....




Happy Birthday Samson and Erin!!!!


So for breakfast Sam got to have eggs and toast with Brooke....

I was amazed that he sat there and didn't grab it out of Brooke's hand... she had to drop it for him.... he must be maturing :)

And here are Samson and Erin on Christmas morning when they met for the first time. Erin REALLY liked Samson's bed.

On October 1 at 2pm the kids at Elementary school in Bran's class ran their "Mile for a Smile". They went to the High School track and ran 4 laps (or walked it) and with each completed lap got part of a smile drawn on their hand.





Brandy started out at the back but after the second turn she was passing everyone!






Above is her first lap.... below is starting her 2nd lap....

Start of 3rd lap






















Coming in for her finish... Brandy was the 3rd to finish in her class and the 1st girl! Great Job Brandy!!

And the "smile" on her hand and face!! Her time was 10:04 minutes! Whoohoo!! She is way faster than I would have been... I did tell her next time they do this I will do it also.... guess I better get in better shape soon :)

Waking up with "Scared Hair"


This is what Grandpa George would call scared hair!!!! I think this is the most scared it has ever been!!

French Braids


Brooke never lets me do anything to her hair.... but, she lets Nikki. So, here are the two of them with their hair braided the same :)
