Where does the time go?

I have no idea where the time is going. We've been so busy around here its ridiculous. I really have gotten a lot of scrapbooking done - while we were camping I finished almost all of my CKC projects. Right now I'm working on some paper bag mini albums for the Grandma's for Mother's Day.

I have 2 weeks left until my due date, but the doctor keeps telling me any day now. I'm physically ready to be done with the pregnancy, but I'm not actually ready - his room isn't ready and I have several projects I'd like to get done first.

Blake continues to amaze me - he's so funny! How is it that my baby can:

- Sing his ABC's (he runs some of the letters together, but its so cute)

- Count to 10
- Wants to help with everything - folding laundry, unloading the dishwasher, etc.

- Does not want me to carry him - he wants to walk by himself everywhere
- Talk in complete sentences

- Do something that makes me irritated and then have me laughing so hard I'm crying immediately after

He has a new obsession with pop-a-wheelies (except he calls them pop-a-wee-wees). I'll walk into his room and all of his tractors will be tipped up doing wheelies. We gave him a trike for his birthday and he is constantly doing 'side pop-a-wee-wees' with it.

I love how he mispronounces some words (I actually kind of miss it when he learns how to say the correct word).

- Granola Bar = Nub A Bar

- Fertilizer Spreader = Spreaderizer
(He used to call a combine a 'bundy').

He loves motorcycles - on our last trip to the sand, Eric took him out on the 4-wheeler and he loved the hills (going up and down).

I love this picture of Eric & Blake - my two boys...I can't wait to meet my third boy in a couple of weeks (hopefully sooner)!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Weekend!

I really do have some pictures to post of projects and of family stuff, but I've been busy getting ready for the Creating Keepsakes Convention today. This week has been quite the week...Blake was sick and then I've been having problems with my sciatic (sp?) nerve (happened when I was pregnant with Blake, but man alive I forgot how painful it was).

Hopefully after this weekend I'll have some fun pictures to post of the convention as well. I signed up for a lot of classes this year...I figured that way I wouldn't spend as much at the vendor faire and being about 33 weeks pregnant I didn't need to be on my feet a ton (I have a tendency to get cankles if I'm up for too long).

Hope you have a great weekend as well!

We had snow...I promise

We woke up this morning to snow! And I was in such a hurry to get out of the house that I wasn't able to take any pictures of it! I had a doctors appointment in Salem to have a 3D ultrasound done of our bun in the oven and I wanted to leave early to allow extra time to get there. (Funny thing is with Blake when we went to have an ultrasound it had also snowed that day)! We just got home from the doctors appointment and some errands and of course the snow is gone. :(

Funny story though: Last night I went into Blake's room (he'd been playing in there for awhile) and he had gotten into the container of bag balm (don't judge me - I know its for cows, but it honestly is the best diaper rash cream we've tried yet) anyway he had it all over his clothes, in his hair, all over his toys (he was washing them so he says). And that stuff does not clean easily. He got a bath last night and his hair is still greasy today!

Well that's it for now...I have a couple of cards I need to get made so hopefully I'll have some pics to post soon!

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Christmas Card

Yeah - I got my first Christmas card for next year done! Sketchy Thursdays teamed with Jingle Belles for a card challenge.

Here's my take on the challenge:

Supplies: White cardstock, patterned paper - Basic Grey Figgy Pudding

While I was down in the scraproom I thought I'd better get a card going for my parents' wedding anniversary that's this week, so I used the same sketch.

Supplies: White Cardstock, Patterned paper - Close to my Heart, Pearls/Flowers (unknown)

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrappiness

Here is a layout I did today for the Sketchy Thursday's sketch last week. I've been trying to get caught up on some old pictures that haven't been scrapped yet as well as work on some current pictures. These pictures are from August 2005 - I know I'm way behind!

This second page I had done a couple of weeks ago, but never got posted. I love this picture of Eric & Blake. Blake insists on wearing his hats backwards about 90% of the time - I have no idea where he got it because Eric hardly ever wears a hat backwards.

Not much else to catch up on that I can think of now. We've been so busy I don't know where the time goes. I had to go in for a follow-up glucose test because my first one came back high and it was awful! Thankfully it came back normal so no gestational diabetes for me! :) Blake is cracking us up every day more and more - he is such a hoot! I almost forget what life was like before we had him - it must have been pretty uneventful. :)

Have a great day!

Valentine's Day Card

Hi Everyone,

I was able to finish the Valentine's day cards yesterday and mailed them off today. One thing to check off the To-Do List. It's a very simple card, but lately I've been into the simple things! :)

Blake has been so funny lately - I told Eric that I think he's going to be the class clown. He's such a ham. His new thing now is that everything has to 'pop a wee-wee' instead of (pop a wheelie). I went into his room the other day and all of his tractors (and the boy has a lot of tractors) were all tipped up on their back wheels - when he saw me he got all excited and started yelling 'pop a wee-wee, pop a wee-wee'. It was the funniest thing ever.

I was able to get two scrap pages done the other day, but I haven't had a chance to take pictures of them yet-will do that soon.

The Karen Russell photography class I'm taking started today so I'm off to read my lessons for this week. I've read the first lesson and I have 4 more to go. :) I'm loving it!
Have a great week!

Look what came

Today was my day to get all my errands ran...didn't quite get them all done, but most of them.
One of the stops was the post office and look what came today -

It's the binder for Karen Russell's online photography class I'm taking that starts next week! Yippee! (Last week I also got the 50mm lens in the mail that I bought from B&H Photo so I'm all ready to go!)

I enrolled Blake in the Indoor Park this morning also - we didn't stay too long, but he really liked it and didn't want to leave! I'm excited to have that outlet for him to run around and wear off some energy! :)

Funny story: Last night I heard Blake in our room - when I went in there he had dumped this little bowl where Eric & I put all of our change onto the floor and was taking the coins into his room and putting them in his piggy bank. It was hilarious! I told him that was Mommy & Daddy's money and he informed me that it was his. He looked at me and said "Blake needs money too" How can you not smile at that?
