isn't this the coolest???

So, I saw this really awesome idea the other day here and thought, "I can make one of those". So, I went online and found my version on ebay. I ordered two and impatiently waited until they arrived. Then I scrounged around and found a TON of pictures that would fit. Next, I started cutting. I am so excited with the final result. I can't wait to hang it up! I love how the boys enjoy looking at all the pictures. :)

Happy Monday! JaDell

LOOK what I made...

Isn't this the cutest dress? I am so excited to see it come together. :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DH!

Last friday, DH and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary! I can hardly believe it's been 10 years already! Well, we went out to a great little restaurant on the East end of town and took {a} with us. G'ma and G'pa took the boys overnight. We enjoyed dinner, and {a} was a jewel! I can't believe how well behaved she was. It was enjoyable. I gave DH a card... as seen above, and in it was a bit of money for him to go on a pheasant hunt this fall with his brothers! Then, he suggested we go to the mall and pick out an anniversary band for me!! EEEECCKKK!!! I can't believe it, he really did it! I have been "suggesting" this gift for our 10-year for about 10 years now, and well, he listened. :) It's absolutely bee-utiful, and I will get the whole thing back on Wed. We decided to have my old piece re-rodium plated--that's fancy words for shined up so the new piece will match. I also had them resized to fit just a bit better. So, on Wed I will take a pic and show off my new bling!! :) See Mo, he did it! :) :)

PS, cute card, huh?? :) It was either this or flowers and hearts. ... :)

I want the world to know what an amazing husband I have and how grateful I am that he chose me to be his wife for eternity! I am one lucky girl.

Jump Creek

We went to Jump Creek last weekend and had a wonderful time! It's a bit of a drive out there, but then we have a small "hike" to the waterfall. The boys were so "big" climbing over the rocks and throwing rocks in the water. They loved climbing up the hills. It was so nice! Oh, and don't I have the cutest little family? I love the one of DH and the boys sitting down. :)

sometimes you just gotta get creative

to get the job done right.We are putting in a sprinkler system in our new yard, and after DH tilled up the dirt, we needed to level and flatten the ground again. So, DH found a pallet and hooked it up to our lawn mower and drug it around the yard. Well, the boys wanted a ride, so here is their turn. They had a blast! DH has worked so hard on this yard! He just amazes me sometimes, well, all the time! :)

What an ADORABLE little girl!!

That's what I hear all the time when we're out and about. Well, I think so too. This is where I put {a} when I am getting ready for the day and she wants me to hold her. Works like a charm! She is 5 1/2 mo old in this pic.

I think this will go into...

...the all time favorite cards I have made pile.... What do you think?

WSCC1

ok, here is my first post for the We Stamp Color Challenge. It is the Blue and Orange color challenge. I made two, they are definately not my best work, but they do follow the rules. :)

boys

I absolutely LOVE these two photos. I was lucky and got the two boys together in a good mood and willing to share cute smiles--at the same time! :) This was the day we bought a replacement pair of cowboy boots for {A} and {K}'s very first pair of cowboy boots. And don't they look cute!! We get more comments on those silly boots.

Another funny from {A}: We went on a drive on Sunday--more on that another day, and while driving home, {A} was telling us Knock, Knock Jokes and wanted to know what day {J} and {S}were coming over to play. I told him they were coming on Tuesday. He then asked me if "tomorrow was one-day". meaning Monday is one and Tuesday(two-day). ok, it was funny for us! :) He then told us some of the cutest knock, knock jokes! He calls them "chokes" and has for a couple of years now. I am still not sure that he knows they are jokes, not chokes. :)

inspiration!

Ok, girls, those of you from WeStamp!, here is a bit of inspiration. This is a card I made recently for a girlfriend of mine that had a baby shower. She is due very soon! I used fishy friends and a Michael's $ stamp. I also am having fun sewing on cards, so I did that too! Enjoy! :)
