Summer Happenings....

Here are a few things we  have been up to this summer!... 

Kyle and Aaron have been taking their swim classes at Candlewood Lake  

We had a family Reunion which I didn't take alot of pictures here is one of Jase getting his batman tattoo from Eddie

 

 A page I did this picture was taken in October 2010 at Juanita & Eddie's wedding one of my favorite pictures of Jase showing off his beautiful hair!

I finally found Jase PSP I hid it a few months ago and finally found it in my closet! And the best news this picture we have finally got him off the binkie! now for potty training not going as well as the binkie purge!

 Here is another layout I did using my Feb Noel Mignon kit best kits in the world packed jammed with everything you need to make a few (5+)pages!~

 Me and Jase in my room being silly was trying to get that we both had our 4th of July shirt didn't       realize it til the end of the day!

 Finally got the pool up and Joe came up for a week and half the boys had a great time with him!

 We also went down to NJ for a couple of days to see Pop-pop and also went to Pt.Pleasant boardwalk and iPlay America new thing the boys loved indoor amusement park!

           Jase in his spider -man outfit he went to see the movies with the boys and loved it!

 

That is pretty much my summer the lake hanging out with the boys!Oh I did get a Silhouette I did make a cool Daily Notes notebook I found a video on Youtube that i copied pretty cool toy!

Happy 4th Birthday Jase!

Cannot believe that its been 4 years we have been blessed with you in our lives! Seems like just yesterday I was waddling around pregnant time sure does fly! Going back and seeing these baby photos of Jase amazes me how much he has changed, grown one thing that hasn't changed is that you are always smiling and giving us something to smile abut!

I can't believe its been this long that I haven't blogged! At first it was for some odd reason I could not log in and blog anything and than I just gave up getting frustrated! than life took over and I scrapped here and there than it came where it was 2 months no scrapping! Last night I was chatting with my friend Leah 
and she encouraged me to  use a sketch to help me get started and I was a bit hesitate because i felt like I had no mojo at all no motivation to do it at all. So I was checking out Shawn's sketch site
and found #212 and pulled out my Fabulous Noel Mignon Boardwalk Kit for June and a mix of another months NM Kit and came up with this which I love!! 
In 2 days Jase will be turning 4!!!think we are just having something small for him cake and some friends! cannot believe it where has the the time gone this summer my plans are to potty train him wish me luck!  In 5 days it will be my birthday eekksss..not sure what are plans are for 4th of July haven't made any and not looking into traveling to NJ can't stand the crazy traffic! Happy 4th of July to you all enjoy your families and the fireworks! talk to you soon hoping to get more scrapping done than I have in the last few months! ttyl
