The first day of school is looming!!! Two more days of complete freedom for the children. Then...it's no more pepsi for them! Blake is bouncing off the computer monitor. Nick's fighting sleep and Kaila was out over an hour ago. It's going to be a rude awakening for them come Monday morning.

These first photos are some photos from their birthday party last Sunday. I didn't take very many photos.

Kaila lost her first tooth! She yanked it out herself!

These two beauties are only 5 months apart!

I was able to get some good shots of the two littles ones, but Nick is the ever-elusive one.
This is my Great Aunt Violet on my Dad's side.








These are my feet at Lake Michigan. That's all ya get!

We're hopefully on our way to the waterpark tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Thanks for stopping by!

We finally made it home and it has been glorious ever since. We're just living life and getting as much done as possible. I'll have several photos regarding our stay in Michigan, the new chicken coop, Kaila's first lost tooth (still entact) and Blake and Megan picking up ammo by the tree. So, stay tuned in order to find out what in the world I'm talking about!

For you sketch-lovers, I created 28 new two page sketches while I was in Michigan. I can not wait to share them with you!

This first lovely photo is the Three Scrapateers at the middle one's 40th b-day bash. I'm 35, Lori's 40 and Linda is the baby at 31. Don't we look adorable??? I love these chics!



As you may also observe in this lovely photo, I'm less than svelte. So, I've once again jumped on the weightloss band wagon. No more excuses!

This photo is me leaving with the kids to Michigan at the end of July taken with my phone. Charlie says I looked mad. It was 7:00 p.m. - I was tired!

School is right around the corner! I bought school clothes yesterday and I'm already getting ready. Imagine that! Kaila is looking forward to seeing what all day school will be like and the boys...not so much.

We're also trying to prepare for the kids' birthday at the end of this month.

Layouts recently posted on my sketch website. The MUSCLES layout has pictures from last September! I can't believe how time has flown. The little boys in the DIRTY JOBS layout are only 2 1/2 and 2. Sa-Weet!
