Blog tag & new pics posted

I posted several scrappy pages in my scrapbook photo album if you want to check it out.  Some are new and some are older ones that I never added to this blog.  I plan on adding some more pics of the boys to their photo album this afternoon as well.



Norma has tagged me. You must check our her blog and her awesome scrappy pages here: http://www.redrediris.blogspot.com/ .



Here are the rules to this blog tag fun:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and leave a comment on their Blog.
2. Post the rules on your Blog.
3. Share 7 random facts about yourself on your Blog
4. Tag 7 random people , linking to their Blog. Let each person know by leaving a comment on their Blog.



Random Facts about me:

1. I never thought I'd have three children, much less three boys, but I'm loving it and all the craziness that comes with it.



2. I can touch my tongue to my nose.  It's apparently a family trait as my brother can do it too.



3. I love to vacuum but hate mopping.



4. I've always wanted a nose ring though my hubby says never and thinks they're disgusting.



5. I'm 5'7" and have been since I was 13, so I was VERY tall back then.



6. I hate scary movies and am perfectly fine with a feel-good, happy ending movie that totally's unbelievable. like August Rush, which I watched last week and loved despite the bad reviews.



7. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, more than anything and want others to love Him too.



Now I'm going to tag:

1. Nikki (my sis) in hopes that she'll update her blog with new pics of Jacob,

Cole had  his Easter party and egg hunt today at WeeSchool.  They had the egg hunt out on the playground and Jason walked up to the fence to say hi.  I love this picture of them kissing through the fence.  So sweet!

"Mom, Can we go to Africa?"

I don't usually post twice in a day, but I had to pass on this funny from Cole. Earlier, Cole and I went shopping for stuff for his Easter party on Thursday.  On the way, I was telling him that Nana & Papa are coming to visit in a few days.  He starting naming places he wanted to go with them, like the zoo, bowling alley, museum, and then said "Mom, can we go to Africa? (pause) Well, wait, what is Africa?" I was cracking up! Where do they get this stuff?



Fun Challenge to get your Scrap Mojo going

Prayer31108



First of all, if you haven't checked out the 2008 Scripture Challenge, you must it has been so great.  Today, I was working on the word for last week : Prayer.  I had picked out my verse and I was just sitting there staring at my supplies really having no thoughts of what I wanted to do.  So, I closed my eyes reach in all my patterned paper and pull out a sheet and just started with that end up with this page after lots of fun chalking (idea from Erika Guhm) and doodling.



So, I challenge you to do the same.  Close your eyes and grab out a sheet of paper.  Don't we all have some we love and never use anyway?  Have fun scrapping!

It's a family thing

I have no idea if Jason wanted me to post this, but I love it so much I just had to and plus he's not answering his phone right now;).  He made a scrapbook page on Photoshop yesterday.  It was fun 'cause I was sitting at my scraptable and he was in here with me "scrapping" himself, though he'd probably just call it playing around with stuff. 



Let_it_snow_copyIn case you can't read it, the journaling he wrote to Cole and Connor reads,

























"There are some opportunities with you two that are simply too good to pass up!  I am so glad I got to come home early for lunch and make this snowman wiht you two! It made my day!"
