Seems like we are outside from sun up to sun down!<br /><br />On Saturday, Skip and I had a date night. We went to see *Forgetting Sarah Marshall* VERY funny movie! Sunday I spent the day at Julie's house scrapping away...fun as always! :)<br /><br />This week ball practice twice, Taste of Home Cooking Show, Dad's birthday, ball pictures tomorrow, busy, but fun! :)<br /><br />Wanted to share some layouts I did with the Magic Moments Kit Close To My Heart is featuring right now. It is so beautiful and so easy to put two page layouts together. Here are two I did on Sunday, I hope to get another one done sometime today. It feels great to scrap again! :) Once my scanner gets hooked back up I will hopefully be sharing more layouts soon!*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-61674940752071494102008-04-16T09:10:00.005-05:002008-04-16T09:25:25.712-05:00Here we go...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2mKfOy7mLCGSZRlgJ6In5w6P1YYAn2uFGnu7ujRUk_d5L-h1dz1tl02FBeAm0t4r7AEN4StvmXyOIIDRqA59xFEny32Ls168kRwT7g-emfNtotCeGltvWmiSAXmJ-aF0gpbldmcYzejo/s1600-h/T-ball.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2mKfOy7mLCGSZRlgJ6In5w6P1YYAn2uFGnu7ujRUk_d5L-h1dz1tl02FBeAm0t4r7AEN4StvmXyOIIDRqA59xFEny32Ls168kRwT7g-emfNtotCeGltvWmiSAXmJ-aF0gpbldmcYzejo/s320/T-ball.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189848443060893186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8CRd0IiJQiDnqPH_a0VO9ctxb335v9DiOqsT7uocBpSQY8NU28GCCdIlANbT2AfoHFL0aXeZCIpG-Nt_JXYYsx5e-EfoKq6zwAZ-L9X80ugAib9wd8Y-YO96P2GNEftETLG-kmHU7td0/s1600-h/T-ball2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8CRd0IiJQiDnqPH_a0VO9ctxb335v9DiOqsT7uocBpSQY8NU28GCCdIlANbT2AfoHFL0aXeZCIpG-Nt_JXYYsx5e-EfoKq6zwAZ-L9X80ugAib9wd8Y-YO96P2GNEftETLG-kmHU7td0/s320/T-ball2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189848146708149746" /></a><br />Tonight we became a sports family...my son had his very first T-ball practice. My husband and I sat in the stands and watched the practice as proud parents! :) He did very well too. He and another little boy are the only two that did not play last year so I thought he held his own right along with the others. <br /><br />It was so cute when he told a girl on his team that his parents were right there. *That's my Mom, the one with the camera!* (BLUSH!) I think I will leave the camera at home until the 1st game. LOL! :)<br /><br />It sure was a fun experiece for all of us...I think it is the first of many, many years of sitting on bleachers cheering on my favorite sports star! :)*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-76811571695614448032008-04-11T10:20:00.004-05:002008-04-11T10:30:04.705-05:00Finally!

This little 8 x 10 room has been quite the undertaking. It is still in progress, mainly because I have accumulated too much stuff and have not figured out how to bring it all into my pretty new room and to make look still tidy when I am done! LOL! :)<br /><br />I will have more pics to show later, but here are some preliminary ones so you have an idea. I noticed that I did not have a pic of my computer countertop in here. If you look at the higher countertop pic, you get a small glance of the lower one. I will get a better pic later.<br /><br />The display case also has patterned paper holder in the bottom that I have not put back yet.<br /><br />The wrought iron above the clost space now has KI Memories Soup can on them :) <br /><br />So, this is my little room. IT makes me happy. If you have any questions...feel free to ask. :)*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-16278787732867683972008-04-04T09:03:00.004-05:002008-04-04T09:21:09.017-05:00The Circle of Life...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCGcj-oJKdoi168k52oLYhVt8tpJpN3Vtfr1w4OHo8Qbo3s1-EzVAMUByZR2M4JrHaX5Pj_8OZAnEEosFsxMsTfDOyx4UvyrNayfrv-VdZ75fWvHK0SCfP73wK32NTGdGBaUYiThcpc3k/s1600-h/The+Lion+King.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCGcj-oJKdoi168k52oLYhVt8tpJpN3Vtfr1w4OHo8Qbo3s1-EzVAMUByZR2M4JrHaX5Pj_8OZAnEEosFsxMsTfDOyx4UvyrNayfrv-VdZ75fWvHK0SCfP73wK32NTGdGBaUYiThcpc3k/s320/The+Lion+King.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185394708240702738" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioQ02v7R6wkdh636mTtZ7Rw7EVWSCzcmnfbq8MXNkL4OPOs43cv3hk4KdUBEF1Hr_l0rvb9vxbZmu7AamIlufQc592KW-ILaRzD48N_wvYIJSXgeeZZuRR3dVI6LhS8eEvkgHDDxgrBHY/s1600-h/funeral.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioQ02v7R6wkdh636mTtZ7Rw7EVWSCzcmnfbq8MXNkL4OPOs43cv3hk4KdUBEF1Hr_l0rvb9vxbZmu7AamIlufQc592KW-ILaRzD48N_wvYIJSXgeeZZuRR3dVI6LhS8eEvkgHDDxgrBHY/s320/funeral.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185394429067828482" /></a><br />On Sunday we went to see The Lion King along with my parents. It was truly amazing. Probably the best show I have ever seen. We had awesome seats, 3rd row! My son had the aisle seat and I sat next to him. He was a little nervous to sit in his seat at first because the usher told us to keep his hands and feet in because the elephant is so big it might hit him. So he was unsure and sat on my lap for the first 10 minutes.<br /><br />I am so glad he did, though, it was something special to be holding him when that curtain came up, the animals walked down the aisle, the sun rose and the singing began. I cried throughout the whole opening.<br /><br />After he saw that Scar was not going to get to him, he felt safe enough to sit in his aisle seat. He was enthralled throughout the whole performance. My whole family loved it (and that is saying something for my dh and Dad!) :)<br /><br />The elderly lady sitting behind us reached up to me when it was over and said *You have such a well behaved little boy! I would like to take him home with me!* That made me smile. So sweet!<br /><br />The 2nd photo is of my son and dh after the funeral at the playground of the church. Kind of ironic how of all the days I could have gotten tickets for that the show happened to be during the time after Skip's brother's passing. In a way I think it was a good thing to see it now. It made the Circle of Life message that more meaningful.*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-49453078036560674332008-03-21T17:23:00.005-05:002008-03-21T17:30:44.449-05:00Special Time With The Bunny...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUm8g086MzI40Ws2OqIx8KkUOWTO9GpfEc2faMuJk5-0uHbpHjRta4CmMDjRfrynx7o7nLSg2nkmE1R2P9veymbbD3LTpEkyIiBgRVB-_UxSvEPIZ_8i6yhpASurXgkNlNkPMxuuUkfdg/s1600-h/bunny1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUm8g086MzI40Ws2OqIx8KkUOWTO9GpfEc2faMuJk5-0uHbpHjRta4CmMDjRfrynx7o7nLSg2nkmE1R2P9veymbbD3LTpEkyIiBgRVB-_UxSvEPIZ_8i6yhpASurXgkNlNkPMxuuUkfdg/s320/bunny1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180325585974500594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiED5mN183d3DDz9Cl2q6h91DSM14rF7ZB_iad9vD7DBIuzdqT2aWsvhvdMOiAJRu5_DQ9J2FK2PGAY_muE8iP5ob7-IycKTTM8ExhasU0LYX8uTa2z0cwbN6MXPPXRLGaKE1hDGg2Hts/s1600-h/bunny3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiED5mN183d3DDz9Cl2q6h91DSM14rF7ZB_iad9vD7DBIuzdqT2aWsvhvdMOiAJRu5_DQ9J2FK2PGAY_muE8iP5ob7-IycKTTM8ExhasU0LYX8uTa2z0cwbN6MXPPXRLGaKE1hDGg2Hts/s320/bunny3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180325470010383586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVjLK60AeB30vTJshUM2TvciH6AIM_wdGN_Pt9s_Q0vE3rP-BDcEWUHsIPt0-u_An6V7vYd8x-dhyphenhyphenntgqzHa7kh2kJ4hyTfjkZ9yM1Z2cnId3AAz_3WJtMpMIK8O3hDz-y1VDmEFuIl1U/s1600-h/bunny4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVjLK60AeB30vTJshUM2TvciH6AIM_wdGN_Pt9s_Q0vE3rP-BDcEWUHsIPt0-u_An6V7vYd8x-dhyphenhyphenntgqzHa7kh2kJ4hyTfjkZ9yM1Z2cnId3AAz_3WJtMpMIK8O3hDz-y1VDmEFuIl1U/s320/bunny4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180325182247574738" /></a><br />My boy and I had such a wonderful day together yesterday. The first day of Spring and it was absolutely beautiful out! We went to the city, just us two, so he could see the Easter Bunny and we could find a birthday present for my Mom. The mall was not busy and we got there at just the right time for him to get some quality time with the Bunny! :) He was so cute and they were so sweet together. He kept feeling his fur, so soft. I was so happy I took my camera.<br /><br />Hope all of my family and friends have a beautiful Easter!!!*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-61007125268088045212008-03-13T20:15:00.005-05:002008-03-21T17:31:05.532-05:00Muddin' Weather...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbeTlTonC2HO0ZX8MrBioGabRgJvgRmlGOSuAVo3jkzYea2gJgAgHlqKP7m8BRtkKAZlSnmheuEcR2VSvcgjTAJGbeXforPKdkmBX0abjdFH7Sv6gF8yYU1t6CFT37DzL0bI25d2u0Ems/s1600-h/Mud+boots.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbeTlTonC2HO0ZX8MrBioGabRgJvgRmlGOSuAVo3jkzYea2gJgAgHlqKP7m8BRtkKAZlSnmheuEcR2VSvcgjTAJGbeXforPKdkmBX0abjdFH7Sv6gF8yYU1t6CFT37DzL0bI25d2u0Ems/s320/Mud+boots.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177401275282987586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_D0VifJqrPYWjtdlLtdzFGTyift9QABmlPsrXuFKRjdl92W0DtO_R1kyVShkMMQ5Y523qAjy80j9KQ94tM3ZtirPk8rkgYa-tLQsHtA9L25kTRrfLh-24tALAkvd90eJ3lf-AeN2Lc0/s1600-h/DSC_0607.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_D0VifJqrPYWjtdlLtdzFGTyift9QABmlPsrXuFKRjdl92W0DtO_R1kyVShkMMQ5Y523qAjy80j9KQ94tM3ZtirPk8rkgYa-tLQsHtA9L25kTRrfLh-24tALAkvd90eJ3lf-AeN2Lc0/s320/DSC_0607.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177401077714491954" /></a><br />Whoo Hoo...we actually had the sun visiting today! :) Just tiny bits of snow left around the edges of the yard.

The good news is that it is painted for the most part. Some touch ups to do. One counter top is done. Can't wait to get it all done!!!<br /><br />My baby got his stitches out yesterday...so brave! I hope that is the last ER visit for a LONG LONG time!!! We have library storytime tomorrow night, we'll see if it taught him not to run! LOL!<br /><br />I actually got to scrap on Sunday for the first time in weeks...I needed that! My friend, Julie, and I went to Archiver's. I got a few pages done. I even won a prize!!! A set of new Autumn Leaves Spring stamps! Cool! :)<br /><br />I am adding a new layout that I did with CTMH's new stamp of the month, it is beautiful. I did this on Sunday. Also another one I did one Sunday with some other CTMH products and pics of my boys in the snow last Wednesday. <br /><br />Now I need to go catch up with my buddies at Scraplove! Have a great week! :)*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-31457656913215638842008-02-24T09:51:00.005-05:002008-02-24T11:42:40.025-05:00One Art<blockquote><strong><em>The art of losing isn't hard to master;<br />so many things seem filled with the intent<br />to be lost that their loss is no disaster.<br /><br />Lose something every day. Accept the fluster<br />of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.<br />The art of losing isn't hard to master.<br /><br />Then practice losing farther, losing faster:<br />places, and names, and where it was you meant <br />to travel. None of these will bring disaster.<br /><br />I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or<br />next-to-last, of three loved houses went.<br />The art of losing isn't hard to master.<br /><br />I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,<br />some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.<br />I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.<br /><br />-Even losing you(the joking voice, a gesture<br />I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident<br />the art of losing's not too hard to master<br />though it may look like (WRITE IT!) disaster.</em></strong></blockquote><br /><br /><br />I am an avid reader and music lover. I find my voice in poems and music lyrics.<br /><br />Last Monday I was *let go* from a Design Team from a website along with 7 other of my friends. I had been on the DT for 4 years. We were all notified with a mass email then banned from the site so as not to say goodbye to the many friends that we have gained throughout the years.<br /><br />I was in a funk about it for the whole week. I was mad, hurt, sad, depressed...I ran the gambit of emotions. It was as if someone had died. A 4 year habbit is hard to break!<br /><br />I am reading the book *In Her Shoes* right now by Jennifer Weiner. It just so happend that two nights ago I was on the page with this poem. I read it and reread it again and again. WOW...that is how I feel. (I always do believe that God sends little clues and whispers to us).<br /><br />This poem to me is about how we lose things all the time and it is no big deal that they should all kind of just be laughed off. But when it comes to losing a friend or someone we care about... we try to laugh it off, but deep down it is disastrous to us.<br /><br />I was never upset about losing my DT position, in a way it was a relief. Sure I would miss coming up with challenges and layouts to inspire people, but that was still OK. I was upset that I could not go to a place that I had gone everyday for 4 years to hang out with my friends. People whom I have shared soooo much with.People I laugh with, cry with talk about silly things with. These friends that know as much about me, sometimes more, as my friends I see everyday. It was a special place that I thought had forever been lost to me.<br /><br />Then I realized that it was not the MESSAGE BOARD, these friends of mine were not stuck there...I realized more than ever what good and loyal friends these people were. WOW...it wasn't a diaster after all. It was an enlightenment!<br /><br />I want to thank everyone at www.scraplove.com for welcoming me and my girls to your MB. Thank you for making me smile again after a very long week. And I look forward to having you as new friends. <br /><br />To my former DT girls...I love you and I know this has made our bond even stronger. And for my friends I have had for so many years...you'll never know how much you mean to me and thank you is not enough!!! Loyalty is the main charecteristic in a friend that I look for, you all have went above and beyond. I love you all!!!*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-37746804202221589442007-08-07T22:05:00.001-05:002007-08-07T22:11:06.635-05:00Betty Kit...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMoWP8TT06XGeXZC__F9FmRnH2cR2qyVPHr-QlPBYM_mdNS1Y4Sidm7z1kkOb0AWGOumHm15JkGzhBfPVLoKJhrjnA-VDNA59qcP-lFleWaRHPVxe44fIIvuhCTTPQeUP8bknDUkFAjg/s1600-h/Momma's+Boy.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMoWP8TT06XGeXZC__F9FmRnH2cR2qyVPHr-QlPBYM_mdNS1Y4Sidm7z1kkOb0AWGOumHm15JkGzhBfPVLoKJhrjnA-VDNA59qcP-lFleWaRHPVxe44fIIvuhCTTPQeUP8bknDUkFAjg/s320/Momma's+Boy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5096161637540659730" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMQhK1M6kJ4XlrVaTB0SyXZs6AO5LSgVqo2gZxj8JoTMeDLZaqbxMIVV07cAH2X4xh0CLZhBQrUyxJhJOTNtNRIdnHTxtYfw9Re-lxX0DX5xfnaWgFBAAibUcqa3LotrJGB0a4Vo5LGI/s1600-h/Puppy+Love.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqMQhK1M6kJ4XlrVaTB0SyXZs6AO5LSgVqo2gZxj8JoTMeDLZaqbxMIVV07cAH2X4xh0CLZhBQrUyxJhJOTNtNRIdnHTxtYfw9Re-lxX0DX5xfnaWgFBAAibUcqa3LotrJGB0a4Vo5LGI/s320/Puppy+Love.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5096161457152033282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu4cmRl5hU0mtJO54kVEbdRIvqpEBA27eq04g2HalJfaTzFNHc1tgyiEwRBbIQ1jHBG6lmO9N_ZGnDYpPaSaRDc7Nv2RrErVtjk1dYMQd_MRJHd__nVumAyo4xolnI6R3N2MOEDY__5IY/s1600-h/1st+Day.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu4cmRl5hU0mtJO54kVEbdRIvqpEBA27eq04g2HalJfaTzFNHc1tgyiEwRBbIQ1jHBG6lmO9N_ZGnDYpPaSaRDc7Nv2RrErVtjk1dYMQd_MRJHd__nVumAyo4xolnI6R3N2MOEDY__5IY/s320/1st+Day.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5096161263878504946" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYp-lwKc139Yy7w-_p1Fqq-LY770BiZkaeljCt58ssL6kdipJNFPWr6Gwh0f9EH4uP6jnRhm-lJPZgS9MJLwOhOk9VwrB-shZBBa1Ra8uAmEdlrMLaY_YsboeXfWKrpyrjnYGzMYjbAXM/s1600-h/get+them+pigs.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYp-lwKc139Yy7w-_p1Fqq-LY770BiZkaeljCt58ssL6kdipJNFPWr6Gwh0f9EH4uP6jnRhm-lJPZgS9MJLwOhOk9VwrB-shZBBa1Ra8uAmEdlrMLaY_YsboeXfWKrpyrjnYGzMYjbAXM/s320/get+them+pigs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5096161113554649570" /></a><br />We had a special kit at The Scrapbook Site this month and it was my favorite ever, I think.

I still have twinges of past Mother's Days when I thought I would never get to be a Mom, when I hated Mother's Day...another constant reminder of how I was not up to par, always a new month of disappointment...how I was terribly sad, how it seemed EVERYONE around me was pregnant...I know there are people that were out there today feeling the same things I used to feel. If by some chance you are one of the ones reading this...know you are not alone. Although it may feel like the whole world knows nothing of what you are going through...there are people out here that do understand and have been there! Keep on believing and never give up! <br /><br />I also know how lucky I am to have my Mom on Mother's Day...I reminded myself of this and tried to take in all the time with her I could today. We argue like sisters sometimes, but I know how special she is and how lucky I am to have a wonderful Mom. I feel so badly for my husband that he is not able to put his arms around his Mom anymore and to be able to tell her Happy Mother's Day...I also feel badly for my son that he will never get to do this with her either.<br /><br />So...I guess I am just counting my blessings today. I am a lucky girl. My life is in God's hands, I need to think of this everyday! :)<br /><br />On a lighter note...today is Spencer's birthday!!! :) I love that my first baby's birthday is on Mother's Day...pretty special. This is the 2nd time it has happened this way.

These were definitely Disney Days. :)<br /><br />Last night we went to see *Meet the Robinsons* in 3D. It was such a great movie. Of couse I cried...I am such a sap. Ds really liked it too. Mom went with us while hubby and Dad went to see *300*.<br /><br />Then today, we went to see Disney on Ice...wow...it was incredible! So much fun! We had the best seats in the house...front row, right on the ice. Geppetto wanted to take my son home with him because he thought he was Pinnochio...pretty neat! :)<br /><br />At the end he got to be right next to the rink and shake everyone's hand. That was so cool!!! He was a little shy and kept coming back to the seat, so I went up with him. He would keep hugging me and smiling inbetween characters. I got tears in my eyes. So special...I am even more ready to take him to Disney World now!<br /><br />I took over 100 pics, here are some highlights. The glasses one is from the movie...too cute, he actually kept them on and was interested in the whole movie! <br />The sword he got and shaking Buzz Lightyear's hand were the best parts for him. (He liked the whale in Pinnochio too, but I didn't get very good shots of that!)<br /><br />Being a Mom gives me the chance to be a kid again! :) Love it!*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-48525959282763761852007-04-14T19:40:00.000-05:002007-04-14T19:49:11.780-05:00Milestone and Signs of SPRING???<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOFTMjyVGwwoVU6_beqbfZADd2zQFdm28NlptsLE_oneXruuV2BAn9ooVft0JeXkqBYyt7Bq5OtVT5_pk0PcK0fwncgtlWRNv7jgblqzVBD8GF2GW6KByay5mhxOnuLDeK_azLVUIDk38/s1600-h/bunny07.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOFTMjyVGwwoVU6_beqbfZADd2zQFdm28NlptsLE_oneXruuV2BAn9ooVft0JeXkqBYyt7Bq5OtVT5_pk0PcK0fwncgtlWRNv7jgblqzVBD8GF2GW6KByay5mhxOnuLDeK_azLVUIDk38/s320/bunny07.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053450393339819442" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ZMYYeqSIJGhIs6E7Vzi8HX3POzLtLwbpQDwZKLLgCKeSaJ3XMM3ezEEeqA42Lpxpo-SOrZxMspMiUcXN0BCKyE_sslcYWbkFZJwNbqnPOu5tY6ZUqMVvobtqhBiFLz_MQTcRQSJD3Qs/s1600-h/april14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ZMYYeqSIJGhIs6E7Vzi8HX3POzLtLwbpQDwZKLLgCKeSaJ3XMM3ezEEeqA42Lpxpo-SOrZxMspMiUcXN0BCKyE_sslcYWbkFZJwNbqnPOu5tY6ZUqMVvobtqhBiFLz_MQTcRQSJD3Qs/s320/april14.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053449972433024418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1QEEcOH8NMlsNbkWmNLhfGcXVAjq4o3hjN22eLrAdXcIDb7NqMBhn5I3QT8Lg6hlsKmrLohzy6XlN87lcGMBktbap4jLBoiMNsXBkOl9yILSsNmqMv87PJ056rUn5rwnM_Ar6mTT_pVI/s1600-h/snowangel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1QEEcOH8NMlsNbkWmNLhfGcXVAjq4o3hjN22eLrAdXcIDb7NqMBhn5I3QT8Lg6hlsKmrLohzy6XlN87lcGMBktbap4jLBoiMNsXBkOl9yILSsNmqMv87PJ056rUn5rwnM_Ar6mTT_pVI/s320/snowangel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053449852173940114" /></a><br />Last weekend was Easter...first one I can remember with snow on the ground.

The past week has been beautiful 70 + degree weather. Today...SNOW and 26 degrees! ACK! Just had to pose Superman out to get a pic of it. This will be a great addition to my Everyday in April album I am working on. :)<br /><br />The other changes are what might be coming realating to my design job at the LSS...after 3 years I might be ending my time there, I just think it may be time.

That means outside for us. Seems like life gets more busy now. This past weekend revolved around Mom's birthday. We all went out on Saturday to dinner at Outback and shopping, Sunday was cake and a small party, then yesterday ds and I went to breakfast and followed Mom and Dad around. <br />Mom was in search of a small *couch* for her new bathroom. She ended up finding one at a Porch and Patio place...the boy had a ball playing on all the playground equipment they sold there. The weather was so beautiful the past few days...mid to upper 70's with a slight breeze. It could stay this way all year and I would be very happy! :)<br />Tonight he starts swimming lessons. I am very excited and yet a little nervous. Not of the water, but how he will follow directions from another adult. Should be interesting. :)*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-34926538613629337952007-03-09T11:33:00.000-05:002007-03-09T11:47:35.080-05:00Busy Week...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAUHw3EjMt-ryc-UVe6hie0jyj5aenx7LCkbuz9hiq2l3oOMAvcI8AWwLozleZr3ug-16hz54QqlJP1E8TwPak5TStKv1bqL3KuMH_tJXi7kL4AN761HGAgJ9g1Kh9HeNLyw9HkITyyU/s1600-h/pages.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsAUHw3EjMt-ryc-UVe6hie0jyj5aenx7LCkbuz9hiq2l3oOMAvcI8AWwLozleZr3ug-16hz54QqlJP1E8TwPak5TStKv1bqL3KuMH_tJXi7kL4AN761HGAgJ9g1Kh9HeNLyw9HkITyyU/s320/pages.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039967126365441346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY7SVi4zzDFtS4MrhI91k1eytr8XqCbYlbpn3JTQe_8C95pYK3_nymjiehUin3cD3RmPvNJK2FifaqIcn14rR2x1D16jrJulXNPvd3CdDZxQ9TXcuAbTRCj6LiOPJaDjwnq85AJbzom_A/s1600-h/books.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY7SVi4zzDFtS4MrhI91k1eytr8XqCbYlbpn3JTQe_8C95pYK3_nymjiehUin3cD3RmPvNJK2FifaqIcn14rR2x1D16jrJulXNPvd3CdDZxQ9TXcuAbTRCj6LiOPJaDjwnq85AJbzom_A/s320/books.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039967006106357042" /></a><br /><br />No, I did not scrap all of these this week! LOL! :)<br />Actually I have done NO SCRAPPING this week! :(<br />It has been a very busy one...Shopping with Mom on Monday, Scrapping Party on Tuesday, Hair Appointment for me and the boy on Wednesday. Luckily Bridge to Terabithia with my nieces was moved to next Monday. My Close To My Heart party is next Thursday, so that will be a busy one as well.<br /><br />So, amid all the business, I decide to take on a HUGE project!!!!<br />I am rearranging all of my albums. I want to get them all into some sort of system.<br />The pile of pages have never even been in an album. *blush*<br /><br />Hobby Lobby had an album sale this week so I bought 3 new ones that are easier to add and take away from...so I have ideas running around how I want to arrange things...we'll see how it goes. Hope to have it well underway tonight! :)*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-63745468307410448902007-03-08T19:57:00.000-05:002007-03-08T20:00:20.618-05:00Mach TSS Sketches<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiABSlIspzZafVBhCJ538tcPEGSYIs6JOEzVABlsXOAwaKzfyQL-x3-6USj3l6YYUIYVChGSFresO-7-KXlojz79AP4hxNewE3HKgQMlFFldWDv0gSp6ejpC3d3epuVqglMtfHj9IYJ8/s1600-h/Happiness+is+Bliss.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiABSlIspzZafVBhCJ538tcPEGSYIs6JOEzVABlsXOAwaKzfyQL-x3-6USj3l6YYUIYVChGSFresO-7-KXlojz79AP4hxNewE3HKgQMlFFldWDv0gSp6ejpC3d3epuVqglMtfHj9IYJ8/s320/Happiness+is+Bliss.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039723124291899282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9VArVAjKKTLvMlnZy5qPqgL2o3hCFGK1B_63pMPkJ_UwyKT9SWUE1zgZ33eoNwvV9kyjFTb6xJ1jnp38XEqUpR11S5lzZhE_ipFYw__Zr85AshFo-uFL77O64f4Mgunq98tofTXixWc/s1600-h/enjoying+life.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9VArVAjKKTLvMlnZy5qPqgL2o3hCFGK1B_63pMPkJ_UwyKT9SWUE1zgZ33eoNwvV9kyjFTb6xJ1jnp38XEqUpR11S5lzZhE_ipFYw__Zr85AshFo-uFL77O64f4Mgunq98tofTXixWc/s320/enjoying+life.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5039722965378109314" /></a><br />Here are the layouts I made with Lenise's Sketches for TSS.

I have gotten many signs that helped me to go forward and to make certain decisions...most of which came in songs. There have been subtle other ways as well. I don't always recognize them at first, sometimes, never...but I am sure they are there. A good friend of mine called them streetlights. I always remember that.<br /><br />I took these pictures in November. I was on my way to the scrapbook store to either pick up work or turn in work, I don't remember that now. But I was just going through all the things in my life and where I should go with it...all of a sudden I rounded the bend...and there it was, a sign...the most beautiful sunset I had ever sign...and an almost spotlight from God shining down.<br /><br />Of course I had my camera with me. I pulled over and got some quick shots.<br />I keep them posted in my scrapbook room...they are not my best work...I see the flaws in them each time I see them (the over hanging telephone lines for one). But I keep them up to remind me that The One capable of creating such beauty has a plan for my beautiful life that I just need to be patient for.<br /><br />Being patient is hard... :)*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-18050332215863843922007-02-21T23:31:00.000-05:002007-02-21T23:43:06.973-05:00Simple Wishes...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXl_mybzZ5U_ScoRnnKL6TBVwEPQaQ4tkBabfepk6uJug9Bw0UuVFbD1f-R5ajSZo9U5A7kiM801x6Q7z1ovys7UpM8DydnJk5CliOweH9WyHnl3sjG1dzbcqxrbk7yuxB4AsfI4Q0uzQ/s1600-h/dreamer.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXl_mybzZ5U_ScoRnnKL6TBVwEPQaQ4tkBabfepk6uJug9Bw0UuVFbD1f-R5ajSZo9U5A7kiM801x6Q7z1ovys7UpM8DydnJk5CliOweH9WyHnl3sjG1dzbcqxrbk7yuxB4AsfI4Q0uzQ/s320/dreamer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034214040120288674" /></a><br />My son likes to listen to music to fall asleep to. He has several lullaby ones to choose from. The one he likes lately has *Twinkle Twinkle Little Star* on it which most nights I can hear him belting it out from the other room. :) <br />It also has *When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Every wish your heart desires will come to you* on it. He likes me to sing this to him at least once a day now, it seems. Today, he came to me and asked me to sing it to him (because I have such a LOVELY singing voice! LOL!). <br />When I got done singing it, I asked him what he wished for when he wished on stars. He said *Stars*, I said...*NO, what do you really want?* He said. *The Bat Sub*.<br /><br />Ahh...the simpleness and innocence of childhood...why can't it last forever?*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-39866158522547051352007-02-19T14:52:00.000-05:002007-02-19T15:00:09.640-05:00Monday, Monday...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73-QLROFZFNWaw5M0zEVBp0LC6tVgbpg09QspYRSvEK30kprHpuVW0uANJoqwQfBXMAcoGjZCU_Rzvqsri8Rw66bt-NssF-s61TFTiCJ5Tw-p-DQqX39dRqkDEwMpFYbO0kKleoinqp4/s1600-h/blog+pic.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73-QLROFZFNWaw5M0zEVBp0LC6tVgbpg09QspYRSvEK30kprHpuVW0uANJoqwQfBXMAcoGjZCU_Rzvqsri8Rw66bt-NssF-s61TFTiCJ5Tw-p-DQqX39dRqkDEwMpFYbO0kKleoinqp4/s320/blog+pic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5033336664201061778" /></a><br />Another Monday...just me and the boy again. Sadly, I think he is getting a cold. :( He was up until 2:00 am, must have been why.<br /><br />Just relaxing today, getting laundry caught up and hopefully going to do some scrapping sometime today. <br /><br />Yesterday we went sledding with my Mom and the guys watched the Daytona 500. We were bummed that Mark Martin was so close to winnning and ended up losing a very close one to Kevin Harvick...yes, he was the bad guy! :(<br /><br />Did a mini photo shoot...this is my favorite one of my boy and me! :) A happy Mom, that's me!!! :)*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-52212073407981749662007-02-15T22:50:00.000-05:002007-02-15T23:00:03.739-05:00My Wish...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIswKEJk7HWQHWQ0bt7wePvyvsQmYqKeHr5-pIEOrdbP2BJs2W4YeUH5mDRNFIoMfaEm_OihIAd_dNkVkyu5bR3sRcg2000sjVWlAVVOGxk5DCIXC5Yx1DWkLvMNfvEcNFRSp0iPvOm-o/s1600-h/my+wish.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIswKEJk7HWQHWQ0bt7wePvyvsQmYqKeHr5-pIEOrdbP2BJs2W4YeUH5mDRNFIoMfaEm_OihIAd_dNkVkyu5bR3sRcg2000sjVWlAVVOGxk5DCIXC5Yx1DWkLvMNfvEcNFRSp0iPvOm-o/s320/my+wish.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031974566862742914" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Did this layout last weekend...just playing around and it all came together for me. I knew as soon as I heard Rascal Flatts *My Wish* I had to put the words down for my son. Music is one of the biggest parts of my life and I want that for my son, too.<br /><br />My Mom would always give me songs too. I remember in college she came for a visit for my birthday and she brought the single of *Forever Young* by Rod Stewart to give to me...saying it was our song. I cried! Funny how she was the age I am now with a college student and I have a 4 year old. <br /><br />I wish I could give him a sibling, the wish seems to be more for him now than it is for me. I am perfectly happy with him, but I would like him to have a brother or sister. I miss not having that now that I am older.</strong>*Rachel*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01359886496315380882noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262850184912382321.post-43113529659030605642007-02-14T17:34:00.000-05:002007-02-14T17:42:50.969-05:00Happy Valentine's Day! :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzxStqTG7UhQRnQYImv8Swar-0kDq78aPaWgjBPHm_-TdKTPgRoMt5621QgUnxS1NThC0ckJFtsLfCjUhHT2Ndjy01AEuwt9gGHFPBJN4gWUy9la8K6R2ZW-gruH9YC21Po98vEhrLZ28/s1600-h/monkey1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzxStqTG7UhQRnQYImv8Swar-0kDq78aPaWgjBPHm_-TdKTPgRoMt5621QgUnxS1NThC0ckJFtsLfCjUhHT2Ndjy01AEuwt9gGHFPBJN4gWUy9la8K6R2ZW-gruH9YC21Po98vEhrLZ28/s320/monkey1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031522285331637618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggn46PkT83OPDft5Zd6dFHDPalZaSiuY7V-xO-0dtMzrlPa7PZzw78DYMPwQZ6ztRvOtJs84lQFvliDnsv6Bnp3NU1zB59o7KTp9xgS46UbSQUABSOOVqN4VneXR1sAGS0vzReB4kfKY8/s1600-h/monkey2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggn46PkT83OPDft5Zd6dFHDPalZaSiuY7V-xO-0dtMzrlPa7PZzw78DYMPwQZ6ztRvOtJs84lQFvliDnsv6Bnp3NU1zB59o7KTp9xgS46UbSQUABSOOVqN4VneXR1sAGS0vzReB4kfKY8/s320/monkey2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031522122122880354" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Just had to show some pictures of my little guy with one of his Valentine's presents he got this morning.
