In between all our craziness around here, I did manage to get some creative time in. Here are a few things.
I finally scrapped the picture of Brock and I from my birthday.
When he stopped and got me rose at the gas station.












Then I got another page done for Olivia's book. Here is Olivia and my mom.



















I got some cards done too. Are you all bogged down with graduations this year? It seems like we have one everyweekend this summer. Thats ok. Someone close to us is taking their next step in life. How exciting!!! Then I also got some Father's day cards done too.














The my last one is page for Brett's book. These are some pics of him during football season. He is always so happy. He has always been taken from place to place and always remains happy. He has such a loving spirit! He always makes me smile.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!

My sister turns 30 today!! Over the weekend we surprised her with a party. She was so clueless!! She totally thought that we were going to get pedicures! We will have to plan those out for next weekend. Love ya sis!!

Q-TIP

We gave Brett anoth haircuit. He looks like such a BIG BOY! Up close he almost looks bald because of his blonde hair. His new nick name is q-tip.

Brian and my brother think that is what he looks like, since he has such light hair.

HERE FISHY, FISHY!

decided to take the kids fishing by the river. Olivia was so excited to use her pole. She has only used it once before. The boys each bought new poles this year and wanted to try them out. It was a good try for everybody, but nobody fished anything! The current was pretty strong and no one wanted to wait.

NEW WORK

Its been kinda crazy around here lately. Here are some things I've been working on.

The colors in this layout seem alittle bright, but they are inspired by one of the new paper packs in the new summer idea book. The layout is from Shanna's scrappy sketches.

These cards were fun to make. I finally found the pattern to make the dress. and the tracks on the dad card are from an old car toy that the boys played too hard with, that I ran through paint.

I love this picture of Brian's mom and Olivia. I am trying to use up some of my older papers.

A girl can never have too many hats can she? when Olivia was a baby, I used to LOVE to put her in different hats, as you can see. She looks cute in anything!!

Olivia's first swimsuit. I love this swim suit. I would of bought one for her to wear now too if I'd know how cute it would be. It reminds me of the suits my mom used to put my sister and me in when we were little.

Well, that all for now. Have a great weekend!! HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!
