Noah loves to style Kai's hair in the tub. You should have seen Kai's 'do the next morning after it dried like this!!

Out with the old and in with the new...

This was made for Noah's friend. It is made with wild wasabi - and everything on it has been discontinued! How did this happen? Oh, well, its a good thing Stampin'Up! replaces their good things with, well, more great things!!

I love this combo of kiwi kiss - really not my favorite color when I got it, but LOVING it now! - and pink pirouette. The words are pretty light in the picture, but IRL you can see them much better. The DP is Bella Rose and the ink is Chocolate Chip. Check out all the details over at www.kaylanistothart.stampinup.net.

Holy Cow!

Well. Ryan and Perry went shoe shopping the other day because Ryan's shoes were falling apart. They ended up buying a size 7 mens runner for him. Perry said he was surprised they were so big, but I really didn't think anything about it. Perry is a size 9, and his brothers are all close to that even though they range in height from about 6'1" to 6'4". Still, I didn't think anything of it...UNTIL...Noah was reading the bottom of my flip flops that said mens - 7, womens - 9. Then, he asked if these shoes were Ryan's or mom's? HOLY COW - we have the same size feet!!! When did that happen? To top it off, Noah's new shoes are size 6 1/2. I'm sure they will both be taller than me soon, too!

New Website

Hello faithful readers (Hi family and a select few others!)
I've started a new website to showcase the wonderful company I demonstrate for - Stampin' Up!

I love these cards!!

I first saw the pattern for these cards here on Roxy's site and knew I had to make some. I absolutely love her site and visit it everyday!

Here is my take on them. I hope you love them, too!

Here it is closed. I opted for ribbon instead of a belly band, but either would work - and both are very cute!





When you untie the ribbon...whoo hooo!...another cute little layer. But...wait for the rest...

















Here is the inside - lots of room for a great big message! (Or a smaller one if you prefer...lol!)

Well, I'm off to make some more!

Can you do this?

Kai spent a whole day doing this. Everytime he caught your eye, down he'd go. Too funny!

I can't even remember the last time this wasn't painful!

The weirdest thing happened today...

I got home from taking Noah to school and there were no messages to be returned, or emails to be answered for work. I have a free minute!! How fun! It took me a bit to upload pictures from the camera, but now I'm good to go!

I'll share a few with you: these are some firsts from this summer:

Noah's first day of school at Donnan, hockey program, August 20th

A triathlon for Noah, Jessica and me. (I?) In Fort MacLeod on August 16th. We had a great time! You should join us next year!

Perry's new Camaro. I do like going for rides with him after the boys are in bed!

I'm going to do some small posts today so stay tuned for more!

Yummy, quick, and good for you part 2

Here's another quick recipe that we all liked:
1 lb lean hamburger fried then drained.
add 1 cut up pepper, 1 pkg taco sauce and 1/4 cup water. simmer.
mix together 1 Tbsp salsa and 1 tbsp FF sour cream.
put cooked pasta in a bowl, add some meat, top with some skim cheese then a dallop of salsa/sour cream mixture.
Yummy!

Hello!

The summer is just flying by! Is it that way for you, too? It's been almost a month since I posted and honestly it feels like days. I'm not even going to try and catch you up to what has been happening - We'd be here for hours! Just a few highlights:
-Ryan and Noah went to camps at the U of A and had a great time
-Cameron touches the tub at both ends when laying down in it - I'm pretty sure he's going to be the tallest of all the boys
-Kai is walking. weird.
-We bought a new van - 2007 Honda Odyssey. I'll admit I still get a little thrill everytime I go out to leave and see it there.
-Perry is making great progress on the front yard!!! He's the best!
-Costco has the new Stephenie Meyers book - Breaking Dawn - on for $13.99
-the new catalogue for Stampin' Up! should be here anyday now. Very exciting.

Have a great day!
