Some Scrappy Fun

If you're interested in a fun scrappy class to learn some great techniques from some awesomely talented group of ladies, then head on over to Feeling Scrappy and check out their newest class titled Positively Paper! I took the Embellish It! class in May, and I learned so much. I want to encourage you to check it out. The cost is only $25 and begins on July 7th! I hope to see you in the "classroom" there!

some outside fun

What an easy hour of entertainment. I had bought this little blow up pool at Toys R Us last year on clearance for $4, and I blew it up today, and the boys had a blast splashing around and just cooling off. I was also able to sit in a chair and get a little bit of sun as well. Here are just a few pics from our fun time outside.

Some Layout Sharing

Here are some layouts that I have never shared. I get distracted on getting them actually uploaded here. I hope you like them!

My Neglected Blog

So, I know I have been neglecting the blog world for the past couple of weeks. It was a rough week when we lost Mamaw, but we also had some friends whose home was damaged pretty badly from the floods that weekend. So, as soon as we returned home from vacation, we had the bad news about our friends' home, and then we received the news about Mamaw. All of last week, I was our church's VBS director, so I had no time last week. Let's just say that I am relieved that last week is over, and a new week has begun. One fun thing we did over the weekend was hangout with our friends' whose home was damaged. They are staying at a family's home while they are on vacation. They have an inground pool, and my boys loved it!


Graedon is obsessed with lotion bottles!


Gabe is a little water bug! He can also swim underwater without the use of his floaties!


And just for fun, here is a pic of Chad on his newly restored motorcycle! He thinks he is totally awesome on it.

Loss of Mamaw

We received news last night that my husband's Mamaw had passed away. Our sons knew her as Mamaw Great. She will be greatly missed, and I would appreciate any prayers you could send our way during this time of loss. We will look forward to the day that we see her again!

"After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. " ~I Thessalonians 4:17
