Siblings...

It is amazing how I can capture such beautiful moments of Nayshawn and Niah and then have to go through days like today when all they do is fuss and fight. I am at my mind's end right now with these two. All day they have been arguing about something or the other. I really don't know how my mother did it. Because I know I use to go at it with my sister and even with my brothers but that was when I was older. So to calm my soul I decided to edit this picture I took of them the other day. On another note. I miss Ezzy. Since he opened his lab, he has been working so hard. I miss just sitting around and bugging out with him. I know the first couple of months is the hardest but I still miss him. I stopped by the lab on my way home today and when I left I stopped off at Scrapbook Central. I love that store. They have everything. I am on the list for when the Love Elsie comes in. I got some of the new K& Company, Fancy Pants and Pizzazzill. Also got the Just For Looks book by Heidi Swapp. So with that said, I have some scrapping to do.

Practice Photo Shoot

I am not sure if I mentions this before but my brother Kevin has opened a modeling agency and I am the stylist/photographer and so I took the kids out to practice. I think I did pretty good. This are some of my favorites. Unedited of course. I will post edited version soon. Any criticism is welcome.

Went to the County Fair.....

Yesturday we went to the Dade County Youth Fair. This is something I have been doing since I was a kids and I am so happy to be able to share this with my kids. We all had a wounderful time. We ate lots of good food, the kids rode a ton of rides and we were even able to look at some of the local student work that was displayed. I brought home some cotton candy for today and it is almost all gone. I just love that stuff. We all look forward to doing it again next year. Well it is off to do house work and run some errand.

The Finished Result.....

And here is the finsih Layout. I really like it. I know I say this about all the Layouts I do but I really do like this one alot. I think it is the colors. They remind me of summer. And summer means going to the beach and popcicles and trips to the park.

I really can't stay long, I have tons of work to do tonight and again Nayshawn is cutting up.

Working Hard....

Working with some yummy Autumn Leaves French Twish that I got from TallyScrapper.(http://www.tallyscrapper.com/index.php)

Back from Tampa...

Us at the Hotel ( Crown Plaza). Love the beds. They were so comfy and they gave us an eye mask.

My favorite picture form Busch Gardens.

When we were leaving the pack ws passed by this Hot Dog Car. Weaner anyone?

At last all good things must come to an end. Us getting ready to hit the road.

On our way back to reality.

See you Sunday...

Well, I won't stay long. I have to pack the kids up to go stay with their grandma. Good luck Mom. Last time I left the with her, she was calling me asking what time I was coming back. Busch Gardens here I come. My last vaction was October I am certainly due one now. See you when I get back. ((hugs))

One More Work Day...

And so the countdown continues. I have one more work day and then it is on. Can't wait. Can you tell I don't get out that often.

This is a picture of Kumba. I always like getting on that coaster. Ezzy always laughs at me because I always have my face made up and screaming. But for some reason I just can't get enough.

I really need this break. Both of us really need this break. We have been working so hard that we just need to go and have some fun. Even if it is just for the weekend.

4 Days to go...

OK, So we have got 4 days to go. Man I can't wait.

Here is yet another page for my anniversary album that I thought I would have finished by the time we leave but now I am not looking so hopeful. I guess it really doesn't matter when it is done, as long as it is done.

My weekend we not all that great. My I have a really bad sinus infection that knocked me out the whole weekend. Yesterday was the worst. I didn't get out of bed until 3 o'clock. I feel a little better today and I am trying everything I can to get better fast so that I will be OK for Friday.

TallyScrapper Grand Opening... Another page...

This is another page for my anniversary book. I am half way done. Wanted to have it done before next Friday but we will see how that goes. I still have 5 more pages to do.

FYI.... TallyScrapper (http://www.tallyscrapper.com/index.php) is having their Grand Opening today. There will be a cyber crop today starting at noon with tons of prizes and I heard something about 20% off. Please go check it out. It will be fun.

Have a happy Friday everyone!!!!

My Man Hard at Work...

That's my man hard at work. Making teeth. Sounds funny. The Lab we opened last month is doing great.

Here is a sample of what he does.

10 Days To Go...

I am truly counting down the days until my weekend getaways with Ezzy. We are headed to Tampa. I am sure I said that already but so what. We leave on the 23rd and come back on the 25th. Just a little time away just the two of us to commemorate 5 years married and 7 years together. Wow that is a long time. But I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. I just love that man to death.

Live In Color

Well My Brother Gavin's Dance Group Live in Color had a performance last night. Man, are they good. It was great. I must admit I am a proud sister right now. Every time I see him dance I am so very proud of him. This is a picture of use backstage. Love you Gavin. ((hugs))

Love is in the air... for me at least...

Well, my 5 year weddding anniversary is on March 23rd. I love my anniversary ( almost as much as I love my birthday). I am working on a mini album to celebrate the occassion. This is one of the pages from the album. I am so in love with this page. I am going write a little love note to Ezzy to put in the album and I asked him to write one to me so I can put it in it. I thought it would be fun to read them when we get older and remember exactly how we felt for each other at this point in our lives.

I am in count down mode. Just 15 days until we leave for the weekend to Tampa for a little fun in the sun just us two. Can't wait.

Playing with Picasa

This is the picture of Nayshawn that I posted a couple of days ago. I edited it using this program I was introduced to Picasa. I think I am in love.

I am Feeling Soooo Old....

I turned 30 in October and up until now I really have not felt old. But tonight I really felt old. The other night my younger brother Kevin who is 7 years my junior told me that he was interested in buying a house in my neighborhood. Then tonight he came and picked me up and we went to look at the house. Wow, I use to take care off him while my mom went to work and school and now he is a man looking to buy a house. He turns 23 on Wednesday and I so happy that he is developing into a strong and smart young man. And that we have a great sibling relationship. I am truely proud of him.

I also realized that my baby Niah will be going to Elementary School in August. Oh My Gosh, how can this be? I was just changing her diaper and now she will be going to the big school she has been asking my about for the last two years.

The Weekend is done already...

As usual the weekend has just sped on by. Tomorrow is Monday again. I had so much plans to scrap and I go nothing done. I think I am really slacking. I did how ever manage to take a couple of picture of the kids. What new right.

Free Spirit...

Man, what I would give to be free. Free from responsibility. Free from hate. Free from worries. Free from stress. Free from do what I want to do and not worry about what other may think. Free to Say what I want. Free to walk around the house with no clothes on. Free to eat pasta. Oh to be a Free Spirit.

Long Day....

Man, It feel like I have been going for an entire day already. I had to wake up early this morning for a teacher conference. Nayshawn hasn't been acting right in school. Don't know what I am going to do with that little boy. I have a lot to do at work today ( so why am I blogging) because I couldn't log on the the network last night. So I have twice as much to do today and it all has to be done today because I have jury duty tomorrow. That sucks. But it is my civil duty. Maybe it might not be so bad. I hope by the weekend I have some free time so I can start the mini album I want to do to celebrate my 5 year anniversary next month. I can't wait we are going to Tampa for the weekend. I picked the hotel (Crown Plaza). Heard it is very nice. We will be doing the Busch Garden thing. We haven't done that in a while. I will be good to spend some alone time with Ezzy. Everything has been so hectic. Oh I did do my medical procedure last Friday and everything looked good but we won't know if the treatment is successful until next month so pray for me. Anyways back to work.

Some Fun Saturday Pictures....

Some fun pictures from today.

Too bad that book is upside down.

Exciting News about a Few Scrapper

I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. My wonderful scrap buddie Christine (http://christysplayground.blogspot.com/) has just launched her very own Online scrapbook store. The name is TallyScapper here is the link

A little Late but V-day was so nice.

I am late I know but this is the card I made for Ezzy for Valentines day. I know the colors are different but he is not a pink kinda man ( I don't know which man is).

My V-day was nice. 2 Dozen Roses and a Starbucks frappicino. If you look you can see it in my hand to the right of the picture. What more can a girl ask for? He is way to sweet. I really was not expecting flowers this year. He is a dental tech and we just opened a lab of our own ( Yes ladies and gentlemen as of 2/19/06 Ezzy and I are offically business owners). And then with our Anniversary on the 23rd of next month. Valentine's day was on the back burner. But he still manages to surprise me every time. I really do love this man.

One More Scrapbook Layout...

Not sure if I like this one but it looked good in my head. Oh well, what's done is done.

More Scrapping this weekend....

Didn't have my medical procedure done on Friday. Some mix-up at the doctor's. So I have to wait until this Friday. Just more stressing. Will be scrapping all this weekend.

On the other hand, I found a new scrapbook store. This store is wonderful. They had everything. I bought a bunch of the new Basic Grey papers but they are so pretty I haven't used them yet. She will even have Elsie's line. I am so excited. I am off to scrap some more. Really should be folding laundry but who really likes to do that.

Scrapping to Relieve some stress.....

It is amazing how easy it is to get wrapped up in a Layout and get sucked into another world. I have been scrapping a lot in the last couple of weeks. Just trying to relieve some stress. It works wonders. Some people have exercise, some cook, some eat but me, I scrap. I scrap and I don't feel so scared, nervous or whatever I am feeling. I will be up late scrapping tonight. I have a medical procedure tomorrow that is not that big of a deal but for some reason I am a little nervous. So I will be scrapping until I fall asleep. Got to get rid of that nervous energy so how.

Happy Valentine's Day...

Happy Love Day Everyone!
