Suprislingly accurate...

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You are an incredibly modest person. You don't feel comfortable bragging about yourself... or even receiving complements. You have a wild reputation, but you're not as wild as you seem. You take risks, but only measured risks. You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it. You are a natural multitasker. You feel alive when you're doing more than one thing at a time. You are a serious and contemplative person. You definitely do your own thing in life.

I'm done. As of right now, 56 hours of work this week....Done.

Tomorrow I am sleeping in. (Then I have to pay bills, grocery shop, clean, etc)

I was just enjoying some of these fun pictures from July when Steve's family

was here visiting from Utah. The kids wanted a ride on Uncle Dave's boat. We

went out on Lake Washington and ate at Kidd Valley. We had a lot of fun. It was

cool getting to know Steve's kids better. We took them out for Ice cream one evening

and even let them borrow our new Rock Band for Wii...cuz they've got some Mad Skillz

on the drums and guitar! So they unlocked a whole bunch of songs for us! It was really

cool to see Braxton drumming! Colby and Mallory both rock the guitar well too!

It's been WAY too long!

1) Since I scrapped! I signed up for classes at the Seattle CKC convention November 13-15th in Bellevue. I also signed up for "Design your Life", an online design class taught by Cathy Zilske at BigPictureScrapbooking.com and this is the pre-class Layout assignment that I just did. I hadn't scrapped before this for at least 4 weeks! (That's a long time for me!)
2) Since I blogged! I've been working too many hrs lately, and then we had Dave's brother's family in town visiting right before we left on vacation for 10 days. So I have tons of pictures to print and scrapbook...just need to find the time. My housework just does not get done to my expectation levels either when I am working this much. Dishes sit in the sink sometimes up to 3 days! (Flylady would be so horrified!) So the few days I have had off lately, I have been doing some major cleaning!
3) Since I've seen new episodes of my favorite shows! I can't wait for Fall season of TV to return! I miss Numb3rs, LOST, CSIs, Men in Trees, and I don't even know what else! I just know I need new, original shows to watch!
4) Since I've hung out with friends! I want to make a bigger effort to get together with all my friends/family/loved ones! I even missed my Niece Cosette's Birthday cuz we were out of town! I am a very bad Aunt!

So...I am planning to do better...week after next! LOL

We're Baaaack!

We had so much fun in the sunshine and warm weather!

We would like to thank our friends for letting us come hang out with them!

In just one week....

We will be enjoying these views of nature's beauty...

Breathing in fresh, hot air...(and sneezing probably)

Enjoying smooth, flat water to wakeboard, ski and boat on...

I will probably try this again...(not because I really WANT to)

We will be doing a lot of this...

And Dave really can't wait to do this!

But....no internet or cell phones...for more than a week! Woo-Hoo!

See ya in a few!

Lucky

I am feeling Lucky today.

Lucky to have such a wonderfun husband that can cheer me up and help me laugh!

Lucky to have good friends that motivate me to get off my butt & get to the gym (or play tennis)

Lucky to have a job that I love (even if I've been working way too much OT lately)

Lucky that I have a vacation coming up NEXT week! Woo-Hoo!

Lucky to have my health.

Lucky to have a wonderful family who loves & supports me.

The Layout above was for Come Play with me Challenge #27:

Use Flowers & hearts on a page about boys.

Enjoy your week everyone!

Summer of Scraplovin' Kick off Cyber Crop

I must have forgotten to tell my sweet Dave that I was planning on scrapbooking ALL DAY LONG on Saturday with Suzanne for Scraplove.com's Contest Kickoff crop...

Well he wasn't too happy with me, then I had to work today and now I have to do some major making up to get back in his good graces.

Above is the 6 Layouts I finished during the crop...I had a blast until I saw the look of disappointment on Dave's face. :(

'Scrapbook Play'

Over at Scraplove we are having weekly challenges taken from Simple Scrapbook's Special Issue: Scrapbook Play. This Layout was for challenge #26: Use a huge punctuation mark as a design element. I struggled with this one but I really like the finished product! Yay!

Work, Work, work

I just don't feel like I have a normal life Mon-Wed. Those are my 12 hr days. So if you've called me and I haven't called you back. Don't be offended. I just can't cope with regular stuff until, oh, say, Thursday of each week. Sorry. I'll post 4th of July pics soon. 'bye now!

A cute (& easy) Layout

I used Ainsley's answers to "All about my Mom" quiz that Carlen had posted on her blog. (That makes journalling really easy!)

Happy 4th of July!

My friend Christi took this picture and the one below at a baseball game...
Happy 4th of July from Seattle!

Here are some pictures from when we went to Maple Valley Days with the Eyrings.

Sierra is getting so big! She is almost as tall as me! She just turned 13 on June 22nd and she and her friend had their first boy/girl Bday party. Fun stuff. They grow up quick.

Akex was so cute when he was going on rides at the fair. He'd give us a thumbs up or try to give Dave a high five every time he came around. What a cutie. He starts kindergarten this year!

We grabbed a chance to take a couple of family pictures of them at the park. Dylan was not being very cooperative though. Typical of a 10yr old I guess.


Dylan & Dave had a race and you can see Dave had to try really hard to beat this fast little 10yr old boy! Dylan said he cheated.

Have a great day everyone!
