Ant Fascination

My baby boy has a strange fascination with Ants. Every chance he gets he is checking them out. I don't understand it but I enjoy watching him explore what he thinks are very fascinating creatures. Decided I would do a quick fun Layout about it. I have been so busy getting my Frances Meyer DT projects together, (They have some exciting things planned for Memory Trends so look out for them) that this was a great break.

Dance class starts again...

Well Saturday dance class started for the kids. Nayshawn is doing Hip Hop and Pop-n-Lock. Niah is doing Tap and Ballet. I really enjoy watching them in their classes but it does take about 3 hours out of my day. So to pass some of the time I did a mini photo shoot with each child outside of the school. Here are some of my favorate pics from that.

What's making me happy these days.

In no particular order. 1. Justin Timberlake - that boy is off the chain. I am loving the new album. 2. Pier 1 Imports - if I could furnish and decorate my entire house from this store I would. 3. School - Niah, Nayshawn and Myself are all doing great in school. 4. Work - I just got a new position and I am so excited about that. 5. Camera - I am loving my new camera. I am learning how to capture my special moment in new exciting ways. 6. My Car - My Scion XB, I am loving my new car. $28 fills the tank and it lasts me a week. Also it is so roomy enough that I don't miss my SUV. 7. Ezzy - He is so good to me. I love him so much. (I don't think I say that as often as I should). 8. Colors - Loving the impact colors are having on the way I am feeling lately. I am slowly transforming my house (color wise) into a very happy place to be. I am Loving Yellows, Reds, Greens and Oranges. 9. Pedicures - Need to get them more often. 10. Hugs - Hugs from the Kids and especially from Ezzy. Did I mention that I love this man? LOL

How do you know when someone loves you?

When they are happy to do things with you that they normally hate to do. I love this man. He absolutely hates shopping but he went willing with me this weekend and smiled as I shopped the day away. It didn't hurt that he got something for himself too. LOL

The Weekend Was Great.....

Ezzy and I had a great time this weekend in Orlando. We stayed at the Disney All-Star Sports Resort. Saturday we visited the Outlet mall. Then we went to Downtown Disney. Very nice young happening place to hang out. A lot of walking but fun.

Happy Days

Here are some LO's I did as an entry to a friends circle journal. I actually like how they turned out. I will have to try something like this again for myself. This weekend Ezzy and I will be going back up to Orlando to visit Downtown Disney. Ezzy has been before but this will be my first time. I am really pumped about that. This will be a sort of pre-birthday celebration trip. We would have waited and gone in October if I didn't get a deal on the hotel for the month of September. I am so loving this rug. I think I will make this purchase for the transformation of my formal living room to a library/scrap area. I seems to be durable enough to handle the kids but nice enough to bring up the room. I just love Peir 1 imports. I also bought some of these poppies at Peir 1 to put in that area.

What is making me happy today.

How sweet is this? I caught this picture of Nayshawn and Niah yesturday morning. (In our bed of course.) It always warms my heart when I see them interact in this way. I am so glad they have each other.

Another Friday

And I am stuck doing homework. I really can't wait for this class to be over. What do I need statistics for anyways? I don't think I will be calculating the probability of anything any time soon. Anyways, Here is a Lo I did of my cousin Suzie (sorry for the bad scan). I love her so much. We grew up like sisters. She says I was a little brat and I say she never liked me. In the end it is hard to believe we have such a wonderful relationship. Love you Suzie ((hugs)).

DT Layouts

Thought I would take a break from homework to share with you my September DT projects. If you haven't checked out http://amillionmemories.com monthly kits you really should. This month it was all about Melissa Frances. Man, these pps are just yummy. I had so much fun creating with them. I loved the warm feel of them. Well, back to work.

My KI Memories Entry

I didn't win the KI Memories contest but I love the beautiful album I have created. This has been an accomplishment for me since this my first offical themed 8X8 album. My theme was "My Guide to a Happy Life."

Good weekend.

Hubby and I went out on Saturday night. We had so much fun. We don't get to go out very often so we make sure we have a good time when we do. Before we picked up the kids on Sunday we had lunch at Olive Garden(good stuff). I think it is very important for couples with children to have together time. We tend to get caught up in the everyday things and sometimes we forget that spending time together is important in maintaining a health relationship. ((hugs)) Shawna

Scenic Route entries..

Well, since I did not make it on the Scenic Route DT. I guess it is safe to show everyone my entry layouts. I am truely happy with my LO's.
