Scrapbook Stuff

Here are some new pages for the scrapbook I am making for DHS. I was on a roll yesterday.

Random Blah....

We have a new toy at our house:

This is such a fun family game. We get a little competitive though at times.

Skate Camp:

Declin started roller skating camp yesterday. It was a sad sight. He was pulling himself along the wall and falling every third roll. I did not think he was ever going to get across the floor to where the coach was.  My heart went out to the little guy.  I knew his frustration- I had been there before. When I was in girl scouts we took skating lessons and also I grew up during the time when having birthday parties at the skating rink was a big deal. It was not  uncommon to see myself and my friends Kris and Rebecca pulling ourselves along the wall or getting a little confedence and moving a slight distance from the wall only to get going a little too fast and losing our balance.I know Kris is going to read this and know exactly what I am talking about..... Anyway...... I felt for Declin. I made sure that he got across the rink and then I left. I thought about him the whole two hours he was there. I had made up my mind that if he decided this was not for him he would not have to go back.  I ran my errands and then it was time to pick him up. I was ready to see him along the wall or down on the floor, but no..... there he was racing around the rink like he had been born with those skates on his feet. I about fell over. I never expected to see that. He was so excited when class was over- he had had a blast and could not wait to go back today.

A Good Summer Read:

My favorite author has a new book out that I am devouring right now.

Twenty Wishes By Debbie Macomber. It is the fourth book in the Bloosom Street Series. Check her out if you need something to read.

 

Tuesday Thought

Concert, Scrapbooking and Misc.

   We had a great time at the Toby Keith Concert. Here are some shots of the concert. We have started a tradition that at every concert we go to we take a picture of us. We start out holding the camera infront of us and try to take a good picture, it usually takes us two or three times and then someone sitting next to us feels sorry for us and offers to snap the shot. It was no different this time. We sat next to a really nice couple that were Navy and stationed up at Widbey Island.

 

The pictures of Toby are not that great, but they are memorable and scrapable.

I scrapped a couple more pictures for the scrapbook I am scrapping for DHS:

 

We went to a birthday party today. I had a hot dog there. It was the first one that I have had since I started WW. It was really good. No guilt.

And one more thing...... I have to brag a bit, but my size 10 jeans that I bought a couple of weeks ago are getting baggy. I am almost ready for a single digit size. woo hoo!

Have a good day!

Concert, Scrapbooking and Birthday Party

Monday already- another fast weekend. We had a great time at the Toby Keith Concert. The seats were great. We sat next to a couple that were stationed in the Navy up at Widbey Island, WA. It was great to get to know them. Toby was great.

Date Night and Weight Loss Update

Today is a good day.   Tonight Tony and I are going on a date. We have not been on one in awhile. We are going out to dinner and then to the Toby Keith Concert. I can't wait. I get to wear new cute clothes, listen to some great music and spend time with my guy.

I lost three pounds this week. This brings me to 58 lbs total lost. I am excited about this. I also lost a point so now I am down to 20 points a day.

I ran to Target this morning to pick up a couple of things and I passed by a rack of these so I thought what the heck they are cute and I will try them on. They fit!!!! but they kind of made me look like I had frog legs so I put them back. Now mind you they were in the junior section!!! Made me laugh that I was actually stepping foot in that section and second that they actually fit.

Have a good weekend and I may post pictures of the concert before Monday.

Layouts

Today was one of those days where there was not alot going on. Declin went to camp and Chloee and I ran errands.

I am working on a scrapbook for DHS. Here are a couple of layouts I made today. They are very simple, but I do not have the pictures that will be in this book so I need to keep it simple to match everyday pictures. I have had this paper for awhile by Little Yellow Bicycle. This album is perfect for it. I used my favorite "Can't Live Without It" right now- Stickles. Love Love Love them!!!!

Quiet Week

This is a rather quiet week around here. The kids have summer camp until noon every day so I am trying to get errands run, house cleaned and phone calls made. All of these things just zap up the little time I have.

Here is what I saw from my front porch last night. This is it for now. I am hoping to pull out some stuff and get some scrapping done. Have a good day.

Weekend Beach Trip

I cannot believe that it is already almost 4:00. Today is just one of those days where the time has flown and I did not see it. I don't have much to say today. The kid free weekend was productive. I got my invitations made for the party we are having next month. I have to find envelopes for them now. I am hoping I won't have to make them.

Here are some pictures from the kids beach trip this weekend.
