Too Funny!!!

Ok, this was too funny to not post.  We set up the slip n slide the other day and Brooklyn spent the entire time trying to drink the water.  She must have done this for about 15 minutes.  She would squat in one spot for a few minutes and then move to another.  Finally she tried drinking the water in the puddles.  It was hilarious!!!  What a goofball.  (Maybe she's trying to tell me she needs more water.)

Digital Scrapbooking, Here I Come!!!

This past week I went to visit my parents and my mom was nice enough to show me the finer points of Photoshop Elements 6.  She has spent many many many hours learning and using this program and she was nice enough to share her vast knowledge with me.  It was a ton of fun and I'm hooked.  Here are some of the pages I've produced so far.





Thank you to my Mom for teaching me and for getting me the program for my Birthday.  You're the BEST!!!

BMX anyone?

So many of you know my husband Billy, but if you don't I thought I would share a little about him. . .  
When Billy does something he doesn't just do it half way.  This summer he decided that it would be fun to do some BMX biking.  Well, we now have 3 BMX bikes.  But that wasn't enough, he needed to have some ramps and stuff to make the BMX bikes more fun.  Some of you might say, "Just go to a skate park."  Not Billy,  he decided he would build them himself. So while I was in Bremerton visiting my parents he built a ramp.  Here it is. . .
One ramp isn't very fun so he built a box to go with it. . .
. . .with the help of Niko and couple friends.






Oh, and one more thing . . . he shaved his head. 
 Now I know that a lot of you might be thinking that he's having some kind of mid-life crisis, but don't worry that's just my sweet, wonderful husband and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Summer Days Fly By

Well here we are more than half-way through July and time is flying.  I thought I would catch you up on what has been going on around here.  Nicholas attended cub day camp, he had a lot of fun doing archery and arts and crafts.  He even made a cool clock that really works.  (Sorry if the picture isn't very good.  I had to use my phone)
Lucy celebrated her 7th birthday on the 9th of July.  We celebrated with 7 of her friends at Chuck E Cheese's.  It was a lot of fun for the kids and pretty stress free for me.  I can't believe that my little girl is 7.  
This is the invitation I made on my new computer.  
Lucy and Chuck E
This is just a cute picture of Brooklyn that I thought I'd share.
