Boys... ACK!

Ok... so.. it's really hot the last couple days. The boys have been walking around without shirts, naturally. Blake has been FASCINATED with bodily function noises the last few months. He was proud to tell me this morning after my shower that he has mastered a NEW TRICK... much to my chagrin. What next?!?!? LOL.

It's HOT... here's a freebie!

It reminds me of floating on an air mattress in a pool of clear turquoise waters... ahhhh. So yeah.. it might be nice on those summery layouts... either way.. it's yours for the taking.. just leave me a little note :) Have a great one guys!

Prayers....

So, Dad is in the hospital in St. John's as the radiation was really hard on him and he hadn't eaten in over 3 weeks... from what I hear he's doing a bit better now... and now that radiation is DONE... he can begin healing again.. so any prayers you could send to him would be much appreciated.
Things have been mucho hectic here... I have my booooo-tiful camera and am having fun with it!

I am stalking all my family and even the dog... and the plants in the garden.. and.. and .. and.. LOL. Oh.. and here are the boys sporting their new hairdos.. ack! Maybe it will bring a smile to their Poppy's face :)

Toot Toot!!!!

Okay, for those of you not in the digital scrapbooking world, a toot is a sign to let someone know you have great news! And I do! Not only was I accepted into the fab Jennifer Layden Creative Team of Jennilyn Designs at SimplyCleanDigiScraps.com..... I just heard back from Robin Carlton of SweetShoppeDesigns.com and she has asked me to join HER Sweet n' Sassy Creative Team!!!! Out of 80 applicants! Talk about doubly blessed in one week! (makes up for getting read-ended in my car TWICE in the past week, but that's another story!) So, I am fortunate to get all the designs by these wonderful designers so I can work with them and create layouts... and I can go happily posting them around digi-world.
I am stoked, if you cannot tell that already!

On a serious note... we could really use some prayers for my Dad... he has just finished his radiation treatment to his stomach and esophagus, but it's been brutal on him, and he hasn't eaten in almost a month.. he has probably lost 85+ pounds since the surgery to remove the tumor... so any prayers would be greatly appreciated.
We're hoping to get out to see him in August... assuming he's feeling up to it.

Toot!!! I am so excited...

I have been chosen to be on the fabulous Jennilyn Creative Team at the new Simply Clean Digi Scraps .. with a new site reveal planned for July 15th!! I am thrilled to be able to work with a fabulous group of gals and look forward to many creative moments!
Check out the shoppe on July 15th and see all the great kits and designs by Jennifer Layden, Eve Recinella and Melany Violette.... you'll be glad you did!

Huh!?! A *WHAT* Sale?

Well, I had a really great visit with Mom, I just drove her back to the airport *sniff sniff*.
While out shopping at the West Ed Mall the other day.. we came across this sale:


So the question is... is it a BIG beaver sale? Or.. a BIG BEAVER sale? This was the hot question of the week.. Mom says the former, I say the latter. So then, of course, we had to do a right brain-left brain test online.. thinking we'd be opposites.. but nope, I am 54% left brained and mom is 56% left brained. Hmmm, what kind of sale would YOU think it is?

Today is the day....

Today is the day I turn(ed) 29. Hmm, not sure what to think of it yet, but the boys and my Mom made the cutest gifts (I'll be sure to post a picture later), Eric got me a gift certificate to the spa for a french pedicure... and they're baking a cake right now :) Life is grand.
Blake finished up grade 2 and brought home an amazing report card.. he met or exceeded expectations in all subjects, and achieved the standard of excellence for Science, Art and Music. He's a boy after his mommy's heart.. my 3 best and favrouite subjects in school! So, on to grade 3... *sigh*. A part of me is celebrating inside that he's done well and is advancing, but that also means he's growing up... TOO FAST! Wahhhh.
Beautiful weather here, yesterday we hauled our butts down to City Hall to enjoy the Canada Day festivities... but we were too tired from the heat by the time evening rolled around that we didn't make it out to the fireworks. But, a fab day.. I must say.
So yeah, that's that.. thought I would write a note while I am banned from the kitchen!!!! Have a great one...

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh.... my..... GOSH! The camera I have been eye-ing for sooooooooo long has been up for grabs as a contest on FishScraps.com... one of my favourite designer's website.... a Digital Rebel XT... 8.0 MP, SLR... beautiful. Well..... the owner of FishScraps called me at 7 pm on my BIRTHDAY.... and...... LOOKIE HERE!!!!!!
I cannot even EXPRESS my excitement... Carrie... THANK YOU!!! Your designs ROCK... and so do you!!!!!!
