digi scrapbooking

is my new fave thing!!!  i have done two layouts already and i'm working on my third...  it's still new to me, so my pages aren't "perfect" yet... plus i am still using lots of "free kits", so some of this stuff isn't on my fave list of supplies...

here's the first...

here's my second one...

not too bad for "beginner" pages!!!

riley had his 6-month check up on monday.  he now weighs 18lbs, 12 oz and is 27 inches long!!  big boy!  i knew he was getting big since it was getting really hard to carry him in the carseat/carrier...  time to buy a new carseat and smaller stroller!! 

eryn had her 7-year well check on monday, also.  she is doing very well.  all her tests were normal and she is just below the charts on her height and weight.  we expected her to be way off the charts since she hasn't been able to have her growth hormone shots for over a year now.  but not too bad!!  still patiently waiting for the new kidney...  hopefully soon!

thomas is very busy at work.  trying to solve lots of cases and get rid of the recent rash of car burglaries in the city.  not an easy task at all!

i am almost done with the summer semester at school.  i'm going to be getting ready for the fall semester, but will most likely not take more than half time again.  i can do one online and will do the other one at night....

well, i have a crying baby, so i gotta jet!

cku... here i come!!!

on wednesday, i registered for cku-orlando.  this year it's in october (unlike the previous years when it was in july).  i can't wait! 

i am taking an awesome class on willow traders.  it's an online scrapbook class with weekly assignments.  it is great!!  here is my layout from the first class (not my best, but scrappers block was all over my brain)...

that's my little boy!!

and i have some other pictures from a little while ago that i just downloaded today...

sister & brother... 

riley in his bumbo chair!

things here have been going well... 

my brother in law is on his way to iraq.  i got a phone call from him on thursday and he was in kuwait.  he should be in iraq this wednesday...  he will be there for 15 months...  poor guy!

thomas is very busy at work.  lots of stuff going on and lots of cases to solve. 

eryn is doing very well.  her weight is going up and all of her blood levels are fantastic!!  now all we need is the kidney, and we will be in perfect shape!!!

riley has learned to roll over from his back to his tummy.  he also now knows how to blow raspberries...  fun...  especially during his dinner time!!!  i usually end up wearing half of it!

mom is heading to my aunts in tampa for the week... a mini-vacation for her and us.

other than that, things are just hummin' along!!

great day out...

we went to the spray park yesterday for the first time.  we had so much fun!  but i stupidly forgot the memory card to go with the camera, so i have no pics to show...  wah!

i did take the cutest pic yesterday of eryn and riley in bed...

so cute to see eryn and just how much she loves her little brother...  she even gave him a new nickname...   baby sir toots-a-lot...  too cute!

thomas is taking a few days off of work (thurs, fri, and mon- including the weekend)...  our little "mini-vacation"...  definitely will be going to see transformers...  i know we will be swimming in the pool, too...  eryn can only go in so far since she has her dialysis tubing, but riley loves it!

fireworks on the fourth!  fun, all except that thomas has to work them...  we will be going to spend the time with him, while he is on duty...  i thought we might get a reprieve this year since he is in detectives, but with the recent problems with officers and injuries on the force, they are a little short handed...  so he will be working them.  but we will still enjoy them all the same!

if i don't post before the fourth, have a happy fourth of july!  enjoy the cookouts, pool parties, fireworks and all the fun!!
