Back to scrapping

Here are just a couple of pages that I have completed for my girlfriend Michelle and her husband Steve. I am doing a baby ablum for their new daughter Gianna.

More pics of my girls

Here are two new pictures of my girls. Sadie outside this morning with a stick in her mouth. Mia inside this morning with her favorite toys around her...SOCKS....yes she goes upstairs finds socks in the kids rooms and brings them downstairs. RJ picked up all the socks and surrounded her in them. She is too funny, but this is a habit that I think that I need to break her of, or the kids will have to learn how to pick up their socks.

BAD BLOGGER

I have been so bad at blogging, and was just talking to a friend about it last night and have decided that Im going to get back here and start blogging again. So much has been going on since the kids and I moved I just havent had time for much. But now that fall is here, and I officially got RJ through driving school and a car, I am no longer a TAXI CAB MOM.
Well a little about what has been goin on, we moved into a house with a big back yard the beginning of Sept. It took awhile to get settled but we finally did. It didnt take long for the kids to talk me into getting a puppy. UMMMMM they have been wanting one for a long time but we just couldnt do that living with my parents for a year. Now being in this house with a big back yard, I caved and instead of getting 1 puppy I got 2 puppies. Yes we named them Mia and Sadie. They are golden retrievers and here are a few pictures.

New place to live

Well after almost a year of me and Mariah and RJ living with my mom and dad, we can finally move out and back into our own place. I was so lucky to find this house, it just kind of fell into my lap, perfect timing, perfect location, its the right size, its the right price (we are renting)all in all we are very happy. This week we have cleaned and started moving stuff out of mom and dads. This weekend with the help of alot of friends we will be able to get the rest of the bigger stuff out of mom and dads, and all of our stuff out of storage and be moved in by Saturday. So its been a busy week but I wanted to share pictures of our new home. Now if I can only tell them to stop bugging me already about getting a dog. GEEZ can we move in and get settled first? Im just saying!

Why do I not blog anymore?

I remember once upon a time I use to blog faithfully once a week. Now look at me, its been forever since I updated.

The summer has been just busy, As Im sure that everyone else's is. I know its nuts right now for me because RJ is playing football for his high school and they have had alot of weight lifting early hours and now practice. So I have been playing taxi cab mom alot. Which I dont mind, Im glad that he is involved in a sport.
He will be 16 on Tuesday......and next month he will be able to go for his drivers Lic. Now I need to be on the look out for a car for him.

I have been having alot of fun with my Canon Rebel. I just took a few pictures of my daughters best friend last weekend so I thought that I would share them here.

I got a little scrappy mojo back

I have done a couple of pages lately. These are two that I will share. The craft paper one is of my daughter Mariah.

The baby is my girlfriends daughter Gianna that is only about 9 weeks old now. Im doing a scrap book for her.

This is the Iowa river that the house faces.

This house is right on the Iowa river, my girlfriends mother grew up in this house. It will not be torn down because it is some kind of historica mark.

I took this picture when I was in Iowa.

This is my girlfriends dog Bear. He is a Japanese Akita.
