Tia's first art project

Hey,

These picts were taken last week when I was trying to keep Tia occupied while I did something in the kitchen. Tia is a very fast crawler and as soon as I open the fridge or dishwasher she is right there pushing her way in. And she is persistant let me tell ya.

But anyway she did her first art work with crayons while we cheered. Very sweet! Her first art work. I'm sooo proud.

lots of love,
Beth

Kwerner Design Challenge #47

Hey all,

I'm so glad I didn't miss the deadline for this challenge. I didn't get it done until last night and saw that it was closed this morning. BUT not to worry it's open again so I can add my card. I LOVE the color combo on this challenge and had a blast using my new Big Shot!!! My hubby got me a little present (Big Shot starter kit) just because he said he likes to see me happy. Sooooo sweet!!! He got almost all his shirts ironed for that gift and didn't have to make his own dinner.

So here are my supplies: CS Tangerine tango, so saffron, whisper white, and my personal favorite chocolate chip. INK tangerine tango, chocolate chip. ETC. so saffron ribbon, fire rhinestone brad, and my new Big Shot!!! yippeeeeeee.

Thanks for looking!
lots of love,
Beth

Kwerner Design Challenge #46

Hello to all,
This is number 3 for me in the Kwerner design challenge. I really don't like the card I made but I still love the color combo. I didn't have enough time without kids to make something nice - in my opinion. ANywho, I'll blame it on the kids...hahaha.
ANyhwho, the colors are basic black, pretty in pink, bashful blue, and riding hood red. I'm out of time we've got to eat dinner together tonight!!
Lots of love,
BEth

New pictures

These great pictures were taken by our neighbor Jason today. The kids were playing outside with his kids Ara and Jonah while Todd and I sort of cleaned the garage. We do work in spurts when the kiddos are around. Tia did great in the exersaucer and that made it easier to work. We love it when the kids are entertained....
till next post

Ryan's Birthday party / spelling bee

Hey,
We had the best time at our nephew Ryan's bday party last night. Here are some picts from the night. Ryan had us all organized into two spelling bees. One for the kiddos, excluding Tia, of course and one for the adults. We, the adults, kept getting in trouble for laughing too much. I got a headache from laughing too hard. Jeff won the spelling bee and got teased quite a bit by the "cool" matching brother and sister. We had cake, pizza, ice cream, (not in that order) and stayed way too late. Enjoy the pictures.....

First Design Challenge

Hey everyone,
This is a card I made last week for a online Design Challenge. This is my first so the picture is a little blurry and I'm going to be working on that. I find it so hard to take good pictures of my cards and jewelry. But it's just something I need to learn....take care.

New photos, finally!

Hello to all, I'm finally getting some new photos up of the kiddos. We've all been really sick and it's giving me time to do the things I don't usually spend the time on. Like blogging for instance. Although I do need to do more of this when time allows. Tia is asleep for her morning nap and the other two are watching "Dragon Tales." Love Npt!
Tia is now 10 1/2 months, Zoe is 5, and Max is 3. We're having another little blessing in August around the 11th. I'm about 17 weeks along and we'll be finding out whether it's a boy or girl by the end of this month. Lord willing....you never know with those ultrasounds....
So enjoy the picts....
