our day

This morning we woke up to this:


(our gazebo collapsed under the heavy snow)

Next we did this:

and this:

and this:



Then this afternoon when we were supposed to be doing this:




(these photos from earlier in the month)

We did this:

and found Ava like this:


(and she’s not potty trained)

my new desktop

I can’t seem to keep my computer desktop up to date monthly (yeah, those really easy quickpages you can find out there are just to hard for me to plop my photo into and save - I’m lame), so I made my own semi-permanent desktop that I can keep up as long as I want without feeling totally out of date. The photo was taken on Sunday. We are all in our Easter outfits (well, except Tyler because we just couldn’t afford to buy him a new suit quite yet, but hopefully soon). I made the headbands the girls are wearing…that’s my craftiness for the next month or two!

For all of you digi-scrap ladies, I found two great sites with awesome fonts you can download (they even have an option to download ALL fonts at once which is a total time saver). If you’re a sucker for handwriting fonts, these sites will give you your fix!

sweetly smiling

I walked downstairs the other morning to Cambrie snuggling her daddy. She was so sweet cuddled into his shoulder and then she looked up at me with the sweetest smile; melted my heart! These are the moments I live for!

life is good

I got to play with his new kit:

Life is Good


from Gina Marie Huff over at Weeds and Wildflowers this past week. Can I just say that I LOVE IT! So bright, colorful and full of fun! Here are my layouts I did with the kit:

I am addicted

Before I indulge you with the latest kits I long for, Cambrie slept for 10 hours straight last night! 10 hours!!! Can you believe it. I only got 8, but still, I haven’t seen 8 hours of sleep for a LONG time. It was marvelous, although, I will admit that I woke up several times (just briefly) to make sure she was doing ok. I think we may try having her sleep in the swing for a while (we’ll use a lot of batteries, but the sleep would make up for it - life is a trade off).

Now to the kits:


(I just love the colors of her kits, so vibrant!)


(I’ve seriously contemplated entering “the so you thing you think you can scrap contest” that is going on with this kit, but I’m not sure I have the time or energy to really dedicate to making my enteries fabulous)

I love how surprising Halle is sometimes. This was my St. Patrick’s Day treat!

I am in trouble…in addition to the kits I posted several days ago, I’ve found more! Yikes! What to do?!

(The kit is in this grab bag)
