Some new shots of my GORGEOUS kids :)

okay - so of course I think they're gorgeous - but look at Hailee! She's so completely away from the baby phase and totally into the little girl-onto big girl phase! wow.

she is SO into the story she was telling me!

do you see this? He's telling me NO-NO!

wow, look at her...totally happy!

stinker! I asked for a smiling face and this is what she gave me! smart kid :)

awwww, looking up at Daddy to get his tools...

Let's see...I've updated my slide on the right. I almost messed up and put my layouts for February in there! That would've been bad.....no sneak peeks here!!

Darren's parents will be here on the 12th to visit for 8 days - very exciting times...it's been a while since they've been to Oklahoma - and they're willing to go to Hailee's Valentine Party at school so boy is she bursting at the seams!!!

There's a BIG event coming up at the Playground starting Feb 4th! Challenges, games, lots of fun, and in the end - PRIZES!!!! SO come check it out! I'm really hoping to get a lot of layouts done this time - I haven't been doing ANY challenges lately and kick myself for it...so bring it on!

okay - so that's all I have to report - OH WAIT! Darren will be putting the PINK paint on the office walls HOPEFULLY tomorrow - which means by Friday Hailee will be in her new room!!! yay! Progress. finally.

I scrapped!!!

wow, I was able to get 3 layouts done the past couple days!! go me :) lol

This is Hailee with my grandma and grandpa. She was 13 months old. This was the only time she was able to be with my grandma. :(



this picture of Hailee was taken sometime last year I believe - so I'm guessing she's about 5.

My sister with the kids...Hailee is 5 and Braden is just 4 months old - wow time flies!

More 3 Bugs work

I made this cute little tag and sent it to Kristi. Just a thanks for all her help at the playground.


And this is a picture of a strand of icicle light that hung on our house for the holidays. This is the beginning of our ice storm...it became much worse. Used Fancy pants felt for the corner...it is sprayed with Glimmer Mist and a Heidi Swapp acrylic snowflake is attached in the middle! TFL!

3 Bugs in a Rug!!!!!

Holy cow! I just LOVED the Luke & Lola line I was given for my January products! 3 Bugs is definitely on my "faves" list right now! It has sheets perfect for boys AND girls....and isn't that just perfect for my kids???? Here are the projects I uploaded today...there'll be more on the 20th!



Thanks to 3bugs for being a great sponsor, I had so much fun!!!



oh, and if you have some of their stuff in your stash, then head over the Playground and enter our January contest!!!




here is a tag I made for Hailee's backpack...the cool thing? the tag is a diecut!! all I did was add stickles, a cut out flower, and the letter H!!

Here is a layout featuring my Hailee! Such a pretty girl....I used glimmer mist on the white paper for sparkle...she approved, lol.

And my Bubby. Hailee calls him Bub. She saw this picture and laughed at "silly Bub" so that's what I called it....and that's what the journaling is about.

Happy Birthday, Hailee Bug!

Today my little Munch turned 6....bittersweet. She's growing up, and we're so proud of her. But where did my baby go?

Apparently it was "the bestest birthday day ever". lol It was the best Christmas last week so we must be doing something right! lol

Today was just a day with us....we'll do the "party" on the 12th...after people have recovered from the holiday chaos.

Here are a few pictures from today...opening gifts and enjoying her ice cream cone at McDonalds.
