I can do it!!!!!

(In my best Rob Schneider voice. ;)

I’m terrible at scrapbooking….  I don’t like it at all.  I’m not very good at getting pictures of my own children printed, but by golly guess what I can do…  lol.  I can make these super cute simple videos.  I know they aren’t anything special, but they are special to me, and I LOVE doing them.  I figure if you find something you enjoy and are good at doing, it knocks off something on your can’t do list, right?  So scrapbooking guilt I no longer have.

Awesome Giveaway!!

Here is an awesome giveaway to anyone interested in photography!!!

My little robots

It has been a really long time since I blogged….  Honestly it just isn’t one of my priorities.  I am sure I will regret that when my kids get older, but for now that’s the way it is. lol.  My husband and I did a fitness challenge recently, and our team won!!  Wahoo.  We literally worked our butts off. ha.   We have been wanting to get our kids a trampoline for a long time, so, we put the money that we won towards getting one.  Seriously such an awesome investment, my kids absolutely LOVE it!!  Court put it together one night, but didn’t get the net finished, we told the kids they couldn’t play on it till the following night when daddy would finish it…  Well instead of playing on it, they made good use of the boxes that all of the springs and such came in.  I seriously can’t believe the way my children’s minds work, they are so much like their daddy, little inventors.  I here a knock on the door, more like a scratching sound, lol, go open it and look who’s standing there…..

I Just Call You Mine

I pinch myself
Sometimes to make sure I'm not in a dream
That's how it seems
I close my eyes and breathe in the sweetest moments I've ever known
It feels like home

And here I am
I want to be your everything
There you are
Turning winter into spring

And everyone that sees you
Always wants to know you
And everyone that knows you
Always has a smile
You're a standing ovation
After years of waiting
For a chance to finally shine
Everyone calls you amazing
Yeahhhh
I just call you mine

  
I fall apart
And just a word from you
Somehow seems to fix
Whatever's wrong
Ohh
You reach into the weakest moments and remind me that I'm strong
You gotta know
I'd be a fool not to see or even worse to forget
That you're more than I deserve

Cause everyone that sees you
Always wants to know you
And everyone that knows you
Always has a smile
You're a standing ovation
After years of waiting
For a chance to finally shine
Everyone calls you amazing
I just call you mine

Nothing makes sense when you're not here
As if my whole world disappears
Without you what's the point of it
Cause everyone that sees you
Always wants to know you
And everyone that knows you
Always has a smile
You're the dream that I've been chasing
After years of waiting
For a chance to finally shine
Everyone calls you amazing
I just call you mine
Everyone calls you amazing
I just call you mine

LOVE this!!

May

I had every intention of being a good blogger last month…  I took pictures of our happenings, and actually thought through what I was going to blog about, but obviously my follow through went awry. 

So for a quick “catch up” here goes, enjoy. ;)  (I’ll try to go in order of occurrence.)

For starters I took a million and a half senior pictures.  Okay not literally a million and a half, but it was sure a marathon.  These last minute sessions required me staying up till 12, 1, 2, even 3:30 in the morning editing so that I could get their pictures back to them in enough time to be printed and sent out in their invitations.  Crazy, crazy, crazy… ha ha, but after it all I do have to say I think Seniors are my favorite.

Here are just a few.

   

After church on May 15, I was craving chocolate cake SO bad…..  I have a recipe that I love, but was feeling lazy.  I kept teasing Court, don’t you want to learn how to make a cake?  He really had no desire, but after a little more teasing, and asking, don’t you want to be able to say you have made a cake, and from scratch.  He finally agreed after I promised I would help him through every step.  Yum-O , he did AMAZing!  This seriously hits the spot every time, especially with the whipped up cream cheese frosting.  He was seriously beyond words proud!!  We even took some up to his parents and sister to share.

 

Easton created an AWESOME lego ship.  When I saw it sitting on the counter I couldn’t believe he had created it himself.  It was completely symmetrical on all sides.

Easton finished 1st grade, and will be moving up to 2nd next year.  He is SO smart, sweet, thoughtful etc etc etc.  I am beyond proud of him, and cant believe he will be 7 this summer.

Last but not least, Denise graduated from high school.  I am so relieved this is the last graduation we have to go to for a while, ha ha.  But I HATE that she is leaving!!! :(

Oh wow I almost forgot this happened in May, Ian came downstairs got his helmet and told me, “I’m taking my helmet upstairs Mom.”  I was a little worried, wondering what he would need it for, I figured I would give him a couple minutes before I went to peek.  ha ha.  Two minutes later he came down like this.  Introducing SUPER KID!!

  

A few minutes later he took his cape and helmet off and asked me to take pictures of “Ian.”  ha ha

 

Thanks for listening, and I promise to do better this June!! :)
