Stolen Moments for us...

Last weekend we went to our nieces birthday party. When we returned home Erika snapped these pics of Dave and me. I am always amazed how Erika is able to get some good pictures of us.

I found this lace last year and just haven't found a use for it so I was pumped to be able to use it AND that huge flower from My Mind's Eye.

Great moments at my house................

On Tuesday, Amanda asked if we would be able to keep the girls for a few days.......I am like........Oh Yeah!!

Druann never really knows what to think about Richie, but she is slowly warming up to him. He is very patient with her and he includes her in the activities around the house which SHE loves!! All the kids are on cloud 9 whenever the girls come to visit.

Here are Richie and Druann putting away the dishes.

Fabulous Weekend!!





This weekend I was able to attend a scrapping retreat. I had sooo much FUN!! We all arrived on Friday afternoon and unpacked our goodies. I always pack up "Kits" for crops. In these kits I put the pictures I want to scrap, the paper, the embellies and if I am using a sketch then I toss that in also. I always take some soda, snacks and MUSIC in the form of my iPod. For this crop we had all agreed to bring our bedding and our meals were going to Pot Luck. I brought a casserole and some cheesecake with cherries to top it off. We all ate then dug into our stashes to get busy. Oh we also had strawberry margaritas..........YUMMMO!!

We scrapped til 3 am then turned in. The next morning we all rolled out and our friend Sandy made us breakfast. Everyone had Belgian waffles and I had an egg sandwich............I have to have protein for breakfast or I am worthless the entire day. We scrapped all day and I decided I would go home and shower and sleep in my own bed. I got up and went back to the store and was there by 9 am. The gals had stayed up again til 3 am...........Whew, I am glad I went home early. Can't imagine how tired I would have been if I had stayed late. We all finished up what we were working on and then began to pack up to go home.

Here is a sample of what I got accomplished.

Love these babies!!





What can I say? Even though these aren't my flesh and blood grandbabies, I love them like they were. Druann and Eberly bring so much joy to our lives. I pray every day their mother will do what's best for them........I have a feeling she will.
We of course will continue to spoil them every darn chance we can!
