Welcome to Hollywood....

so...

I think I had the flu and or bronchitis. But, I am alive. Here are a couple of fun lo's with some new fall paper from down at the snap and scrap. And a couple of fun photos from the punkin patch.

I know I have not posted in a while, but I will do better. Please keep Chloe in your prayers, and my grandma, Emily. Thanks. Have a great day!!!! BTW I think I am going to do a scrapbook for Chrissy of Chloe. I know you all don't know them, but if anyone would be interested in doing just one page, I would appreciate it. Just let me know. Thanks!

Finally.

Some layouts I did this morning. Maureen went above and beyond her call of duty as a friend, and took some (actually 187) AMAZING photos @ Ella's birthday party. So, here are a couple of them that I had to scrap this morning.

Don't forget about the CROP @ Snap & Scrap on Thur. night 6:30. Last month was so much fun. Let me know if you are coming!!

Have a great day.

"Prilliest" girl in the world right here. In Mustang Sally's yard. I love this photo. I promise I am going to post more LO's soon. I just really have a lot on my mind right now. Hope everyone has a great day. Please keep our family in your prayers!

wicked awesome

How freakin awesome can one person be??? Maureen has fantabuloso pictures on her blog that are makin me crazy.... from Ella' Vanilla's birthday party. You should look. You should hire her for photos. She is awesome.

light and not so light

So, a thousand rounds of "Happy Birthday" and a million gifts later... the birthday weekend has come to a screeching halt.

The party was fun. I don't have any good pictures, as my camera was somehow not used. I think Chris used someone else's camera and thought it was mine. I ended up with only 8 pictures of the birthday party. So, please I beg, anyone, email me your photos....

It was fun. It was hot even though we were having a "cool front." And, it was kid-filled. So, that turned out good. And Ella can not quit talking about it. Today, she took her new purse Maureen made her, filled with dinosaurs and her new baby doll, Barbara ( Ella named her. I am assuming after my Nanny) to school today. And, I left her screaming. Welcome to the terrible 2's. But, the teacher said that once I left Ella and Barbara had a great day!! And when she got home, she decorated our carport with her new sidewalk PAINT! Did not even know they made that!! Now I have a huge sidewalk painted butterfly to park my car on! Fun stuff!

On a not so light note, can I say that CANCER sucks? Please keep my grandma (Mimi) in your prayers. Everyday is a little more of a challenge than the last. And, this is so hard on her. Thanks.

This time 2 years ago...

I was experiencing LITERALLY the longest night of my life... and little did I know tomorrow would be even longer. Why didn't I take the sleeping pill? Why didn't I take the pain meds? Why didn't I listen to my mom?? Oh well, they say hindsight is 20/20. And I definately learned my lesson... not that I will ever have to experience 24 hours of hardcore labor with no dialation again.... ever. But, it was all worth it and tonight, every time I looked at her and the 25 times Chris and I sang "Happy Birthday" followed by her tiny voice saying "Mommy!! Honey!!! Sing it." and we sang it again and again... and again... I rememberd that night. And, that day .... and tomorrow. So much was going on. So much. And my life did change for the better those two days. uhhh so wonderful. I love her.

Anyway, we picked up Jack to take him to the school party. That was fun. Nothing like a few minutes in the car with a 3 year old little boy like Jack to well, open up your eyes and get your day started. The conversation was, well, interesting to say the least. Gross, but interesting. So, when we finally arrived at Ella's school, the fun began! The party consisted of an Elmo theme and 10 2yr. olds, Jack, the teachers, myself, Mustang and Pappy. Fun. Sort of a pre-cursor to the Birthday Weekend Extravaganza. Fun. I will keep you all posted!

was about why you are a lucky girl. I was waiting to use this pic!! This was so fun. This is what I did @ the crop Fri. night!!

I can't believe this was a year ago...

Ella's first birthday. This year it's a Elmo party @ school and "Dinosoy" party for the family.... Well, the invitations are finally done. Thanks to major helpage from Stacy @ Snap & Scrap- dinosaur cutter extrodinaire.... I got them done @ the crop the other night... I will post them tomorrow. I am too tired and this computer is acting freakish tonight.... but this was Ella a year ago...

ghoul power!

So, today Maureen who is like one of the coolest chicks ever got a new do. And, it was fab. At least I thought so. And, that was fun.... made my day talking to her. We had a lot of puzzles to piece together... so I am looking forward to her crop @ Snap & Scrap. 6:30 tomorrow night. Be there or be square...

Otherwise, life is Wild that's right ... wild. Sometimes, I wonder just when I am going to be pushed right over the edge into psycho land.. then I see this...

and it gets better. I realize my life is not just about me anymore... have a great day!!!!

I have never met her face to face...

but I know Miss Chloe got her "artsy" side from Aunty Holly.  Chrissy is sooo not artistic! Love her, though... Isn't she a doll? Chloe is getting her booster cells this week. Yay for Chloe!!!

Please keep Chrissy, Chloe and Josh in your prayers. This 3 year old is a heck of a fighter!!! (she gets that from her mom!)
