Thomas 2010

I've had a very busy week here in Georgia. I'm finally getting around to posting this. Last weekend, we took a trip to Tennessee to spend the day with Thomas. Blake had a blast! He loved it so much. He enjoyed himself so much. So much so that night he had a tough time sleeping because his little legs were so sore. He ended up sleeping with us and me having to massage his legs every couple of hours when he would wake. Here are our photos from the day.






This one was taken during our train ride with Thomas. He watched out the window the entire ride.





Mommy got a kiss during the ride too. Blake said Thank you mommy, Blake happy. It was so cute.













































All in all. Blake had a great time. Josh and I not so much. We thought it was a bit shabby for the cost, but seeing Blake happy it was worth my money any day.

I'll be back tomorrow to share my latest page with you.

Hugs, Cathy

my ER visit

Hey Hey everyone. Thanks for playing along with the Blog Hop. It was alot of fun, even though I didn't have the chance to make a LO with the sketch. An unexpected visit to the ER will really put a damper in your scrap plans for the evening. Short version Blake slammed into my stomach running at full speed, giving me some of the sharpest stomach cramps. 20-30 minutes later, they weren't going anywhere, head to the ER, 3-4 hours later a ultrasound, and a shot of Demerol in the booty, Im sent home to rest. The next 36 hours I'm out like a light. Literally.

I was sent home with assurance that baby was OK. I also visited my Doctor the following Monday, for my routine visit with the same good review. But I'm not so sure, since that accident, little guy has not been moving as much, actually he isn't moving very much at all anymore. He was so active before too. I go back on the 10th so we'll see.


Now on to some projects I did a few weeks ago. I really love this LO using My Little Shoebox. I Love their papers, but don't always feel they are great boy pages choices.







On to the next! This page uses the last of the October Afternoon paper that Ive been saving for so long. We took this photo at Blake's first fair last October. I really need to get the rest of those photos scrapped.





Hugs and Giggles

Blog Hop 4/30-5/2

short & sweet with pictures of course

Has it really been three weeks since I last updated. Wow! Time passes so fast as you get older. I really need to do better.

So we have alot to catch up on. First, the easter bunny made a visit to my house, and left a basket for Blake. He was so thrilled when he woke up and seen his basket. So cute.










That afternoon we went to visit Grandma and had easter dinner with his cousins. He loved that. They colored eggs and enjoyed an egg hunt. So much fun for little people. Blake found 23 eggs. This was the first year he understood to put his eggs in his basket instead of trying to open each one he found to see if anything was inside.








Now fast forward a week and we have his third Birthday. Yeah my little boy is 3 years old. Another WOW, when and how did that happen? This year we decided to skip the party and have a small celebration at home. We bought him tickets to go SEE and RIDE Thomas the train in Chattanooga. Which he is going to totally love. Of course, he doesn't understand just yet, but he will on May 1st. I can't wait for that one.










Baby update. Little Brycen is doing great. He is starting to wiggle around and kick all the time. He is way more active than Blake was. If that means anything, than I will have my hands full with him. I am 27 weeks today and only have around 90 days to go. I can't believe it. Almost doesn't seem possible to be that far along.



And last after much thought, I have decided to resign from DT Coordinator over at Scrapbook Challenges. Acutally I'm resigning all together. I feel its time to move on a let a new person have my spot and their chance to shine and inspire us. So with that my last challenge is posted. It's titled Cloud 9, as I had a great time on the team, and I still love cute little clouds. All you need to do is use Clouds anyway anyhow, and use 9 of something, can be anything as long as they are 9 of them. Here is my example.... walking cloud from Sass and 9 letter stickers in my title.







Ok Ok everyone. I must get my self ready for bed. I have 6 more weeks of work that I must somehow complete before its baby leave time. Toodles.
