If you are following the links from the beginning of the hop, you should have come from <a href="http://cherylllane.blogspot.com/">Cheryl's</a> blog. If not, and you wish to participate in the blog hop, please start at the Scrap-Friendzy blog <a href="http://scrap-friendzy.blogspot.com/">HERE</a>.<br /><br />Today, I am excited to share a couple of things with you--one paper and the other yummy! I'll start with the paper otherwise you'll run off to the kitchen and never make it through this post! LOL!<br /><br />Drew is in Pre-K this year and the paper crafter in me cannot just go to the store and buy a pack of regular Valentine's cards for her class party. That would just be WAY TOO EASY and of course I can't do that! LOL! I also didn't want to buy a bunch of candy to add to the piles I'm sure they'll be getting already so I decided to get microwave popcorn. Drew loves to make popcorn so I'm hoping the other kids in her class do too! I came up with a pretty simple (aka EASY) way to make it look festive and Drew can help me do the rest.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAfizpOkr81NEliiC0UNhKOfaBiNRdv0AdgnBL93e2bVg7srGfRTA89gUtTvirUW-HtXJ4reGgf27vS0KGh_e29e7F_y2WEEwuVBw1Btn8IOHAgfaMJcDnp17toGByq_e_jjRIpFk28Xa/s1600/IMG_1580.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 324px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571584607304805010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAfizpOkr81NEliiC0UNhKOfaBiNRdv0AdgnBL93e2bVg7srGfRTA89gUtTvirUW-HtXJ4reGgf27vS0KGh_e29e7F_y2WEEwuVBw1Btn8IOHAgfaMJcDnp17toGByq_e_jjRIpFk28Xa/s400/IMG_1580.JPG" /></a><br />Supplies:<br /><br />Package of Microwave Popcorn<br />12" x 12" cardstock (each sheet will cover 2 bags)<br />stickers, patterned paper, etc for embellishing<br /><br />1. Cut cardstock to 6" x 12".<br /><br />2. Score at 4.25" & 8.5" to create 3 sections.

She LOVES sticking stickers so they are sure to be quite decorated! LOL!<br /><br />Now for the YUMMY!<br /><br />I've recently discovered the site <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/">Our Best Bites</a>. They post some of the most wonderful recipes and I've tried a few things so far. The popcorn recipes were a HUGE hit with our friends and family over Christmas. The other day I made their <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2010/09/reeses-peanut-butter-bars-no-bake.html">Reese's Peanut Butter Bars</a> and they are absolutely DELICIOUS! I mean how could you go wrong with peanut butter, butter, and chocolate? Before I scarfed them down I tried to be all fancy and take a few pics! LOL! Clearly I am not a food photographer though it was much easier than trying to snap a pic of Tiny--the food neither yells at nor runs from me! LOL! </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4jzWPuwf88jKnpQWQQmb0S1p7jMJyaUbbtvofwnCouDHwqjlzDChCDnZ4dNMtp7MRos-BKsUe5rVb99keUL-UtLG7LMjRhl8JeXsfZahyK3cB7CXGQijqUrnqx-IV3fha23sBDPdbiDW/s1600/IMG_1533.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571583315681553378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4jzWPuwf88jKnpQWQQmb0S1p7jMJyaUbbtvofwnCouDHwqjlzDChCDnZ4dNMtp7MRos-BKsUe5rVb99keUL-UtLG7LMjRhl8JeXsfZahyK3cB7CXGQijqUrnqx-IV3fha23sBDPdbiDW/s400/IMG_1533.JPG" /></a>They are really easy to make and would make great teacher treats for Valentine's Day. One pan would be more than enough for several gifts.<br /><br />In addition to the Blog Hop prize given by Scrap-Friendzy, I'm offering a small RAK too. Leave me a comment with something you're making for Valentine's Day--either paper or sugary (or anything else you find cool!) and I'll put your name in a drawing for a cute assortment of Valentine's embellishments.<br /><br />Your next stop on the blog hop will be <a href="http://amygaskins.blogspot.com/">Amy's</a> blog. Don't forget to leave a comment here, and on each stop on the blog hop. Then, make sure you finish up at the <a href="http://www.scrap-friendzy.com/">Scrap-Friendzy forum </a>and post that you have completed the hop. Your name will be entered into a drawing for a fabulous prize! We're also hosting a weekend crop from Friday, February 11 through Sunday, February 13 on the forum – hope you will join in the fun!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the rest of the hop!<br /></p>Brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00024979281653263099noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187160740808835867.post-414047350048182602010-10-23T16:12:00.003-05:002010-10-23T16:34:05.898-05:00My New FavoriteAnd of course it's a lift! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>! I love Susan <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Weinroth's</span> blog. It's full of fun, bright colors, creative layouts, & even awesome quilts (which I'd love to make one day but don't really know how to sew so that could be an issue! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>!). I think all of her pages are great but I really loved one that she did recently for Studio Calico. I didn't have any of the papers or supplies that she used but I did copy the design with what I had. I love the result! It's my new favorite!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gyf2BBFlFMry6PuEt8mZstHUHg2NpGRMTYyxeAlkX4ad8xyE2bw7i06pYWUE2k09zZOcSMMAohuCTddE58EYQRdrTxywfL3lDViizJ5zh5MVOFz9fXfyE-ntHVr5kfHOc-o6K7g4NHcL/s1600/IMG_9799.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 395px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531357207570611330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gyf2BBFlFMry6PuEt8mZstHUHg2NpGRMTYyxeAlkX4ad8xyE2bw7i06pYWUE2k09zZOcSMMAohuCTddE58EYQRdrTxywfL3lDViizJ5zh5MVOFz9fXfyE-ntHVr5kfHOc-o6K7g4NHcL/s400/IMG_9799.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJb3jaHsEWQYaJt9aHPP3_9GRgCiDdbS_CGCamWvTRzEWNI4LQe_ahiEpdYl8LlcbcKCmUEmwTzPOgcOgI1gr8U2eFR9xrLHo8HwONqwADSTxr_obu5elVD9kODzwUdlpvtLClj_HyQkj/s1600/IMG_9810.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531357201689891890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJb3jaHsEWQYaJt9aHPP3_9GRgCiDdbS_CGCamWvTRzEWNI4LQe_ahiEpdYl8LlcbcKCmUEmwTzPOgcOgI1gr8U2eFR9xrLHo8HwONqwADSTxr_obu5elVD9kODzwUdlpvtLClj_HyQkj/s400/IMG_9810.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1IuDQaDhtOaHXC5zdO4w9YOK14fmBqdPgqvxbNQKpTbI73Ivt7xvejrsoSrvf1zQnFUsL_G0lsb4GCSMRXmwRCcG2nCt6qJE3sFdiDYH7oKI5e8E_Q1ScKUdYnGXpW09f2Bn1WJ_qaAwi/s1600/IMG_9812.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 330px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531357201842149922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1IuDQaDhtOaHXC5zdO4w9YOK14fmBqdPgqvxbNQKpTbI73Ivt7xvejrsoSrvf1zQnFUsL_G0lsb4GCSMRXmwRCcG2nCt6qJE3sFdiDYH7oKI5e8E_Q1ScKUdYnGXpW09f2Bn1WJ_qaAwi/s400/IMG_9812.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVw42PBvznaChUJCD_At7Jn-pqz-0XrLxJj9lO_xe1_LAsQPfYSUyg8Xpq-Yq0XZqQfV7QgY-0YiuzcEMt9OzmcoFmn-ApZtyTlq5bfUOBfgzCDnJDOe0owDnjTQ7M3Hmo2qoM1XfCHc9i/s1600/IMG_9813.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 361px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531357195964415458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVw42PBvznaChUJCD_At7Jn-pqz-0XrLxJj9lO_xe1_LAsQPfYSUyg8Xpq-Yq0XZqQfV7QgY-0YiuzcEMt9OzmcoFmn-ApZtyTlq5bfUOBfgzCDnJDOe0owDnjTQ7M3Hmo2qoM1XfCHc9i/s400/IMG_9813.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUEJT1st0nk4hhX3D7UlW1PbDmCnjSgeyEQk09YcXKnDI4DGRo-fyi-aln0xRnMzzd_Zj2VzsTke8mhyphenhyphen8a2P9oAPqw7WrRfetOLEjB07Df4HC16KZzP7myjDdhsgvHtMVPEZnPFKZ9b9M/s1600/IMG_9815.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 249px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531357199061264210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUEJT1st0nk4hhX3D7UlW1PbDmCnjSgeyEQk09YcXKnDI4DGRo-fyi-aln0xRnMzzd_Zj2VzsTke8mhyphenhyphen8a2P9oAPqw7WrRfetOLEjB07Df4HC16KZzP7myjDdhsgvHtMVPEZnPFKZ9b9M/s400/IMG_9815.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div></div>Brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00024979281653263099noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187160740808835867.post-40591235690135621092010-10-16T12:48:00.004-05:002010-10-16T14:18:46.067-05:00I've been busy!I've been really working on organizing my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">scraproom</span> so that I can spend a bit more time creating and less time hunting and searching! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>!

The members of our design team will be sharing fantastic summer projects, stories, tips or ideas for keeping cool and having fun in the summer with a baby along.<br /><br />We've had a pretty busy summer and with Drew starting school on Monday, it's all coming to an end. We've been to the San Antonio/Austin area twice. We've had a big birthday party for Miss Drew. We've bought tiny school uniforms, a lunchbox, and lots of crayons for our big girl. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Addyson</span> has somehow transformed from a baby to a little girl seemingly overnight. I've battled numerous wars with the many critters that think they need to inhabit our home because theirs' outside is so dang hot. Don't worry! I'll not share any of those stories...today anyways! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>! Drew got a swing set for her birthday but it's been too hot for her to play much. She did have lots of fun blowing bubbles before it got <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">soooooo</span> hot and of course I took pictures nearly every time. I made this page today with some of those pics. I busted out my new Echo Park papers and some super old KI Memories letters. Remember those ones that came in the cute mini soup cans?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vK5qXPGUo9At7ZjFb8tn8e-gSKrsHZhekQeWRrPX0-x2YahC4BFgOK4z9sG9th02XmjQirTJ92-e2lWKYpzyUUJXZ_iFjgqVdxxAsB7bzmn1DEzf5W2XV5y2Obuh4rbGKOt5sy8rteKa/s1600/IMG_8726.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 396px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506647400200299458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vK5qXPGUo9At7ZjFb8tn8e-gSKrsHZhekQeWRrPX0-x2YahC4BFgOK4z9sG9th02XmjQirTJ92-e2lWKYpzyUUJXZ_iFjgqVdxxAsB7bzmn1DEzf5W2XV5y2Obuh4rbGKOt5sy8rteKa/s400/IMG_8726.JPG" /></a><br />Our blog hop runs from today, August 18<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>, until August 22<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span>.

This week's challenge was to use a solid background and create some sort of pattern using an ordinary/non-scrappy item. My first thought was to use a tire & paint or ink and do a page about my Mustang. Someone else posted a page with tire painting before I even got started and I didn't want to look like a copy cat so I had to go with Plan B. I just didn't have a Plan B at the time! LOL! I finally decided to sand my pattern onto my paper instead of using something as a stamp with paint or ink. I knew that diamond plate would make a cool pattern and I figured I could do a Jeep layout with that. I took my orange cardstock out to the garage to use the diamond plate on my golf cart but realized that it wasn't the typical pattern. I used it anyways and decided that it looked a bit like straw or hay bales and chose some pumpkin patch photos. Despite a minor (well kinda major!) altercation with my sewing machine I managed to come up with a page that I really like. (I know I've said that about all of these pages but for the first time since my pregnancy with Addyson I'm making pages I'm happy with!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3mrLosppPt2T6SbyHnZPQ3m47L36AUVPLTSzpRRGZvAptXp75F0iHDVXcxScqyevWKsv9a0R8oETT4ZPIyZSTjfK9JAdVhzlCXfyxhY9fdUPVFpvwbcRQAqk3uy1gDq1xx8TQxk8_1fJg/s1600/IMG_7810.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 388px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492947963457509426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3mrLosppPt2T6SbyHnZPQ3m47L36AUVPLTSzpRRGZvAptXp75F0iHDVXcxScqyevWKsv9a0R8oETT4ZPIyZSTjfK9JAdVhzlCXfyxhY9fdUPVFpvwbcRQAqk3uy1gDq1xx8TQxk8_1fJg/s400/IMG_7810.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVqFdrwSG9AuTO9RWiu1Y6-NT7SVEifNpxw5O4mufKJSna3Ot07C9gNj97MWg_Vkq0Eho0_XgEI0kW1L81Jionso-HYgqZ127O2iAxyie2JwO_qW0KT7Trw-HKmxRktMSeE8Kyz-4svN9/s1600/IMG_7772.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 278px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492947956672953042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVqFdrwSG9AuTO9RWiu1Y6-NT7SVEifNpxw5O4mufKJSna3Ot07C9gNj97MWg_Vkq0Eho0_XgEI0kW1L81Jionso-HYgqZ127O2iAxyie2JwO_qW0KT7Trw-HKmxRktMSeE8Kyz-4svN9/s400/IMG_7772.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlXSka2M6xytjnzrrOmg6jdpzwQRsk5TEqmvsxfq1Xz5eMaM-IcCEqJ4oU_bxivsqkRwrC3DgOG7ZgrjLwWOhb6JRyoal9kyGtpKdRDUHHJQUtuSUclNTTonEKBhjnFQFuBkl69Uj3qIX7/s1600/IMG_7798.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 271px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492946928964006242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlXSka2M6xytjnzrrOmg6jdpzwQRsk5TEqmvsxfq1Xz5eMaM-IcCEqJ4oU_bxivsqkRwrC3DgOG7ZgrjLwWOhb6JRyoal9kyGtpKdRDUHHJQUtuSUclNTTonEKBhjnFQFuBkl69Uj3qIX7/s400/IMG_7798.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwps2JiVc18MuElpXmO1pZ1M9xOeZX0WRVxSLKXIs9xa4htgNnt4uBNKUwU0_-81p0y8FUKoibJRR_436CFvxkAy5_Y1OXEnqU-9Hpp4YOUD19hb2OZeM3ZC3UA92m2sC3HXKIi-aJmSwB/s1600/IMG_7813.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492946928692709010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwps2JiVc18MuElpXmO1pZ1M9xOeZX0WRVxSLKXIs9xa4htgNnt4uBNKUwU0_-81p0y8FUKoibJRR_436CFvxkAy5_Y1OXEnqU-9Hpp4YOUD19hb2OZeM3ZC3UA92m2sC3HXKIi-aJmSwB/s400/IMG_7813.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdCb1o4GCdcBT75JnUN3oLVPUmS8Gm5z2oRSnraM3I7t5lGN40wdHTe-ykUb1glGFpnzWPMxudI6o57FwuiAObkGg3riUTjySvfM24HCiQGtBGwMkVQddn3caw51gSQAued6rGUvE2oOUc/s1600/IMG_7814.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492946923077134946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdCb1o4GCdcBT75JnUN3oLVPUmS8Gm5z2oRSnraM3I7t5lGN40wdHTe-ykUb1glGFpnzWPMxudI6o57FwuiAObkGg3riUTjySvfM24HCiQGtBGwMkVQddn3caw51gSQAued6rGUvE2oOUc/s400/IMG_7814.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iGwiXIKE4o3lLwcoJZo8Y_K3jsQZPIyQ-gAduvW9XTQNJcpe67gc0dOXE7aXrANazhweF7anubYOndGNd8tKaxQJK2RVo0kSms9ys19iRvs4zkd9I9qyDquazKlT8cGCHfCMWG7qQHXI/s1600/IMG_7819.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492946920012134594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iGwiXIKE4o3lLwcoJZo8Y_K3jsQZPIyQ-gAduvW9XTQNJcpe67gc0dOXE7aXrANazhweF7anubYOndGNd8tKaxQJK2RVo0kSms9ys19iRvs4zkd9I9qyDquazKlT8cGCHfCMWG7qQHXI/s400/IMG_7819.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOMah2mLGc1x7ZzBIU7oIqPtkTuBNJKGyjuH-Ph8HEgrqaPHtBOExgSuL-FXGb5KwGjUIMP1xQEqTFJpI9h3IJzmDO5hZICC0elDl03yG4IcVBJ2_0zAunxRKcXYXv1W_rdxlgO5M-d7jq/s1600/IMG_7820.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492946910184373362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOMah2mLGc1x7ZzBIU7oIqPtkTuBNJKGyjuH-Ph8HEgrqaPHtBOExgSuL-FXGb5KwGjUIMP1xQEqTFJpI9h3IJzmDO5hZICC0elDl03yG4IcVBJ2_0zAunxRKcXYXv1W_rdxlgO5M-d7jq/s400/IMG_7820.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div><br /><p>I really hope I make it into the next round.

And it hasn't even been 9 months! LOL!<br /><br />This week's challenge was to create a layout with negative space and embellishment clusters.

I'll try to get back into it!<br /><br />There's absolutely no way I could possibly summarize the past 9 months on here so I won't even try.

It's a survivor type challenge and I'm happy to say that I have now made it into the Top 10. Even though it's too late to join the survivor part of the contest you can still complete the challenges for a chance at gift certificates or other cool prizes. I can't post my pages in any of my galleries yet but I can share them on here (Yeah! You caught me! The main reason I'm blogging is because I really, really, really want to share these 2 pages! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>!).<br /><br />The first week's challenge was "The American Child" & to use stars & stripes. I immediately thought of these photos from last year's 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> of July photo shoot. I really wanted to make a 3-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">dimensional</span> pinwheel to go along with the photos.<br />I love red, white, & blue and was very pleased with my outcome.<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwjrOc-Oc5zR-EQIdLEUyoLkYcYvvjIXBJEmsInwUNTdpBtSuU2INoE8YQur5D7sbyWJ_WPBHcF1ZjjJLdTz-jknrdr8nC3-K7vvsQuhzVIpwKWqKXHs6fe9yt5snHrJNYg2531fvaLE_Z/s1600/IMG_7403.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 398px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489944870088991282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwjrOc-Oc5zR-EQIdLEUyoLkYcYvvjIXBJEmsInwUNTdpBtSuU2INoE8YQur5D7sbyWJ_WPBHcF1ZjjJLdTz-jknrdr8nC3-K7vvsQuhzVIpwKWqKXHs6fe9yt5snHrJNYg2531fvaLE_Z/s400/IMG_7403.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5H4dAPcO9gKGCvw6zmkj5PZuTLUH5lhmANW0UA4dijKZQd4MZRjEEf2fppjQ9kliAXk8sjXqI6YtxphV70T1wEqIBW94yKhgPxBzvvT67sS3vemDpmrsv13-5kDpFjDrTxBc_Pt-2l1De/s1600/IMG_7402.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489944866042512818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5H4dAPcO9gKGCvw6zmkj5PZuTLUH5lhmANW0UA4dijKZQd4MZRjEEf2fppjQ9kliAXk8sjXqI6YtxphV70T1wEqIBW94yKhgPxBzvvT67sS3vemDpmrsv13-5kDpFjDrTxBc_Pt-2l1De/s400/IMG_7402.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pKypUjsEcHlYZYkNNWjXJOBbnhzaIpH-B1XrTmAxvqi5C5MfAJRRACmzo_kgDGwuyQ-zj2us4sZvWWW7z5QpI9ZmZ-6iXLDsY6Y3ADFujFHVRZx1gRvI93tkFRmVj_73BBTVVx6CdKoQ/s1600/IMG_7401.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489944858900597138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3pKypUjsEcHlYZYkNNWjXJOBbnhzaIpH-B1XrTmAxvqi5C5MfAJRRACmzo_kgDGwuyQ-zj2us4sZvWWW7z5QpI9ZmZ-6iXLDsY6Y3ADFujFHVRZx1gRvI93tkFRmVj_73BBTVVx6CdKoQ/s400/IMG_7401.JPG" /></a></p><p>The second challenge was to create homemade flowers & use a black <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span> background.

Any colors, any theme, any supplies! There are a few teeny, tiny rules though. You must have at least 5 pieces (They may be any shape you want.) and they must be strung together. Don't have a Maya Road banner book lying around? <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>! Don't worry--cut your pieces from scraps of cardboard, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">poster board</span>, even an old cereal box. </div><div></div><div>Once you create your banner, load it in the SF gallery for 50 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Pointz</span>!

LOL!<br /><br />7:30 am--Addyson wakes up. I run to the bathroom and Jason gets her out of her cradle. I come out of the bathroom to see Jason scrambling around for something on my side of the bed while Addyson is screaming her head off! He had "tried" to change her diaper without putting anything under her and she peed EVERYWHERE! On MY side of the bed! So at the crack of dawn I was stripping the sheets off of the bed and trying to figure out how to clean the memory foam pad we have on there! Fun was to start the morning huh?<br /><br />8:00 am--Jason wakes up Drew because we were going to the library this morning. He tries to give her cereal and she has a meltdown. Apparently she is used to eating dry cereal out of a bag in the car on the way to the library (because we are always running late!) and thought that she wasn't getting to go since he was trying to feed her! LOL!<br /><br />8:30 am--My blow dryer will not come on at all! It does NOTHING! I freak out (because my hair was wet & there was no way I was going to town looking like that but who was going to break that news to Drew? LOL!)<br /><br />8:30-9:00 am--Jason performs surgery on my blow dryer. Drew runs in to tell me that "daddy fissed it!" He comes in and says "It works but I have to hold it for you". I assumed that there was a short in the cord and he had to hold it to keep it on. WRONG! He had CUT OFF the plug part and was standing there holding 2 wires in the outlet! OMG! I freaked out and told him that he was going to electrocute himself to which he told me to "Shut up and blow your hair dry! You know nothing about electricity!" I may not but I'm fairly certain you are not supposed to hold 2 wires in an outlet! LOL!<br /><br />10:00 am-- By some miracle of God we made it to town (20 minutes away) for story time with a few minutes to spare even!<br /><br />11:30 am-- Go into Wal-Mart to buy wipes and a new blow dryer.<br /><br />12:15 pm-- Come out of Wal-Mart with $150 worth of stuff in 3 small bags and a SCREAMING baby. It was the mad baby goat sound again! LOL! And Drew was limping around hollering, "I can't walk fast! I have a broke weg!" There is nothing at all wrong with her leg! Nothing! LOL!<br /><br />12:20-12:40 pm-- Sit in Whataburger drive-thru listening to one kid scream and the other singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" at the top of her lungs in an attempt to quiet the screaming one.<br /><br />12:50 pm-- Halfway home & I realized that I did not buy a dang blow dryer!<br /><br />1:00 pm-- Wake up girls to get them out of the car. Both took offense to that!

Today's events illustrate that point perfectly!<br /><br />Grab a snack! It's gonna be a long one! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">LOL</span>!<br /><br />Let's see....<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Addyson</span> puked twice before we even got into the car. That made her extra happy & she was sure to let us, and everyone in the surrounding counties, know.<br /><br />We got to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">CVS</span> where I wrestled with Drew, who was wearing a monkey back pack with a tail for me to hold onto. She wanted to "charge" around and pull me! She was happy when I swatted her! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">LOL</span>! Back by the pharmacy an old lady proceeded to chastise me for allowing my child to have a pacifier, giving me an ear full of why it was terrible of me! I had to walk away before I accidentally told her what I thought of her advice! (Apparently me & Danielle are attracting the "crazies" these days! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">LOL</span>!) We finally got to the register where the ever-so-smart cashier rang us up not once, not twice, but 3 times! I have NO clue what the heck she did each time but I had to pack & unpack my basket each time! The entire time she was doing that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Addyson</span> was screaming. Not a small whimpering cry, but the sound a baby goat makes when it gets stepped on--you know? That hysterical tiny baby cry? It was great! And to make it even better there was a line of, I kid you not, at least 10 people behind us because why would a store around here actually use the multiple registers they have?!? And all of those 10 people wanted to offer suggestions of what might be wrong with her (while looking at me like I had done something to cause the hold up!) and I heard more than once, "She's not happy!" No shit Sherlock! You think? <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">LOL</span>! I was finally able to pay and get out of there!<br /><br />We proceed the mile down the road to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Wal</span>-Mart (had we not been seriously out of food I would have said "forget it" and come home at that point!) with Drew hollering from the back seat "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Her's</span> sad! Her has tears!" UGH!!!! At 6 pm we walked into <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Wal</span>-Mart. (That fact will be important later!) I had a list & I had my coupons. I planned to follow my list and get out of there quickly--Ha! Ha! Ha! My "monkey girl" was once again pulling me along with her tail or darting in front of the basket and stopping. I don't know how many times I ran over her cause you know my short self can certainly not see over the car seat perched on the buggy! I think we managed to get eggs & milk in the basket before <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Addyson</span> once again decided that she was angry with the world. I gave her a juice bottle & she quickly fell asleep. I spent the next 2.5 hours (Yes! It was 8:30 before we got in a check out line!) chasing Drew, yanking Drew's tail, running over Drew with the basket while the tiny one screamed (because it was really just a tiny cat nap and what stupid mama would leave the house with only one bottle which was now empty?) Nearly every person we passed commented on how cute Drew was with her monkey tail and how beautiful her smile was, and of course told me "She's not happy!" in reference to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Addyson</span>! And again my response is "No shit Sherlock!"<br /><br />So in conclusion, if anyone wants to know why I don't run the roads everyday, just read this! Or better yet, come get Drew & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Addyson</span> and take them to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Wal</span>-Mart!Brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00024979281653263099noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187160740808835867.post-26342328919489688982009-06-08T20:20:00.005-05:002009-06-09T13:46:03.163-05:006 Week Check-upAddyson's 1 month check-up was rescheduled due to her doctor being hospitalized. At 6 weeks she now weighs 8 pounds, 8 ounces and was 22 inches long! She has grown 1.5 inches! I guess she's going to be tall and skinny! They also confirmed that she has a small hernia. It's right above her belly button and only appears when she's throwing a fit. It's not a problem right now and unless it fixes itself, she'll have surgery when she's 2 or 3. So for right now she'll have 2 belly buttons! LOL! See her little hernia?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxlzUqs8dQXN7Xk6Ef5Kq1oCiEMaZN7VtyAxm5kF6gwtXLV22bmjgIZ2Gz7czOzP_fOjdT4Qf_t3AKngy5dA-uPll-VRptRsSJ-wmGuJwY2cTkZC8CwQ6fsQdnRyH7xsRWc0rxyxADHW1k/s1600-h/hernia.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345155318404043250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxlzUqs8dQXN7Xk6Ef5Kq1oCiEMaZN7VtyAxm5kF6gwtXLV22bmjgIZ2Gz7czOzP_fOjdT4Qf_t3AKngy5dA-uPll-VRptRsSJ-wmGuJwY2cTkZC8CwQ6fsQdnRyH7xsRWc0rxyxADHW1k/s400/hernia.JPG" border="0" /></a> They decided to keep her on the soy formula and give her some medicine to help her go to the bathroom easier--hate hearing her scream! And we are also adding a bit of rice cereal to each bottle to thicken it up. That's helping a great deal with the spitting up plus it's making her feel full which makes her happier. Maybe it'll put a little meat on her skinny bones so she can wear something besides Preemie clothes soon!<br /><br />I've finally gotten my scrappy mojo back! Yay!

LOL! Seriously! Those of you with more than 2 or multiples must be super women!<br /><br />My c-section was scheduled for 7:30 am on April 22 so we had to be at the hospital at 5:30. If you know me at all, you know that there are very few things I will do at 5:30 am! LOL! We got to the hospital and they immediately hooked me up to everything known to man, poked holes in my hand, and made me drink the nastiest stuff ever. Jason took quite a few photos of me at this time but this is the only one that I'll dare to show! Just remember that it's 5:30 in the morning!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEsS4V2RDWbKMUieEOzaLMUv2PSiu1H-EP_JOTrzN-9V9qjrLyHM23ZmGgxszqmq6BRIi415QB5rnB-NMrpqmBfkfhQU77PcLBnJeO48Xq6Yil3n4xl-5eup0cu5pm5ethfJlwnST9l9He/s1600-h/before+c-section.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335445586097845714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEsS4V2RDWbKMUieEOzaLMUv2PSiu1H-EP_JOTrzN-9V9qjrLyHM23ZmGgxszqmq6BRIi415QB5rnB-NMrpqmBfkfhQU77PcLBnJeO48Xq6Yil3n4xl-5eup0cu5pm5ethfJlwnST9l9He/s400/before+c-section.JPG" border="0" /></a> I went into this c-section pretty scared. I started regaining some feeling towards the end of my c-section with Drew so I was nervous about the same thing happening again. Not entirely sure what went wrong this time but I felt EVERYTHING after the first cut! I kid you not! There was a lot of hollering (mostly from me I'm sure!) and the doctors & nurses were giving me as much stuff as they could to make it stop. The actual delivery part was pretty rough. Apparently she was a bit stuck in there so there was a lot of pushing and pulling and they ended up having to use the vacuum on her. She has a nice little bubble on her head as a result.<br /><br />Before we went in they told us that we could not take any photos of anything on the other side of the drape so we don't have the super cool (but oh so gory) photos that Jason got of Drew's birth. Throw in the craziness going on in the OR at that time and we only got a couple of photos.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7L9qJKOFAl83jt5Au_NlK4tnwi7w3_HOkz0x-En6x-oblWDQkSSJWqryYTAE_d2juD17Q9T55FU8Ms3_yV4p8QZ4CvUE8rm8FcYN6HPoL5a1PfLJpPuHFsvpFu-aTcNBxAI5dX0o-9weJ/s1600-h/DSC00880.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335450755607018786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7L9qJKOFAl83jt5Au_NlK4tnwi7w3_HOkz0x-En6x-oblWDQkSSJWqryYTAE_d2juD17Q9T55FU8Ms3_yV4p8QZ4CvUE8rm8FcYN6HPoL5a1PfLJpPuHFsvpFu-aTcNBxAI5dX0o-9weJ/s400/DSC00880.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkgVjhqihzETUDYU0K5iT0n49opor7nfSTAyitM3k1Tq-DzoovNXeLmQyrueSM2UWzGGYv35XPD9lqILiboeqQJyz2bKeG-H_rR8A40BdkYPUdO0e-2bFEa28d5Aoaw1dSyF8JImAbQOsI/s1600-h/DSC00888.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335502021698616882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkgVjhqihzETUDYU0K5iT0n49opor7nfSTAyitM3k1Tq-DzoovNXeLmQyrueSM2UWzGGYv35XPD9lqILiboeqQJyz2bKeG-H_rR8A40BdkYPUdO0e-2bFEa28d5Aoaw1dSyF8JImAbQOsI/s400/DSC00888.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Because my stomach was so much larger this time I assumed that she would be much bigger than Drew was. Addyson Mikayla was born at 7:36 am and weighed 7 lbs 6.2 oz.--nearly a pound smaller than her big sister. She was the same length--20.5 in.<br /><p></p><p>Here she is with Daddy on their way to the nursery just a few minutes after she was born.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtPyxAkjgEEq_SDvAoDaFOSuYm5noVPlMJcGCt4cFy4EJBMIjJaxDwLIHBmvxE-waZxTEwl9HM1J-wq6TB0ROmwV8A4tk3HSW0CmIG6NKpY0rop0kKiyLov1qzqIn97Tvr_xgc9eia-Cfy/s1600-h/STA70639.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335452958845812626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtPyxAkjgEEq_SDvAoDaFOSuYm5noVPlMJcGCt4cFy4EJBMIjJaxDwLIHBmvxE-waZxTEwl9HM1J-wq6TB0ROmwV8A4tk3HSW0CmIG6NKpY0rop0kKiyLov1qzqIn97Tvr_xgc9eia-Cfy/s400/STA70639.JPG" border="0" /></a> They gave me a lot of morphine and used some gas to knock me out so I don't remember much after she was born until I woke up in the recovery room. It seemed like hours before I was settled in my room and they brought Addyson in.

We had been talking about how cool it was going to be to be a big sister so she was very excited about her new job! She had on her cute "Big Sister" t-shirt that I had made for her.</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisYKgUdFX29wQnokoduho64iD0tLcyr9NC9IOeMNabgoRVVHuI81Y2Ei77xgD1W6Wl1HkGVkhmPn7TpGl0SOf_0uakoIlHwhJJIYB8BlLz3tMNmEaD1MEtwwoxlWZKxAlkbcBTG1Dwbs0n/s1600-h/DSC00920.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335458021795602562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisYKgUdFX29wQnokoduho64iD0tLcyr9NC9IOeMNabgoRVVHuI81Y2Ei77xgD1W6Wl1HkGVkhmPn7TpGl0SOf_0uakoIlHwhJJIYB8BlLz3tMNmEaD1MEtwwoxlWZKxAlkbcBTG1Dwbs0n/s400/DSC00920.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcurh7068RQT1cxOFxKLxzPuo4_KtFJ3Jw3HBF-2ioghdJBdQx4JtPFZhtJqeSY6iSi639IUze7gZJVd6Vet8cZhAnbiFIEI57PRS9Y4tUyzKXxWEpLVMqrK8tSFSFI4pe1YvsQtqPVpjk/s1600-h/DSC00923.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335458019918436194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcurh7068RQT1cxOFxKLxzPuo4_KtFJ3Jw3HBF-2ioghdJBdQx4JtPFZhtJqeSY6iSi639IUze7gZJVd6Vet8cZhAnbiFIEI57PRS9Y4tUyzKXxWEpLVMqrK8tSFSFI4pe1YvsQtqPVpjk/s400/DSC00923.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgklIRmMu_HUkxntACcoURww8pzJvTK49Fq8QI3TSpPwHzhMtrX0me7jNIOHScKD1yO09-1rAJ3leDLCfxo-6rFhS68mS4cupJ5BwRP9SA_F-PdVRLSyogKf9zttB5a3qQ8gbcVSMkYQTQ5/s1600-h/DSC00965.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335465144483941314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgklIRmMu_HUkxntACcoURww8pzJvTK49Fq8QI3TSpPwHzhMtrX0me7jNIOHScKD1yO09-1rAJ3leDLCfxo-6rFhS68mS4cupJ5BwRP9SA_F-PdVRLSyogKf9zttB5a3qQ8gbcVSMkYQTQ5/s400/DSC00965.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSvmhEaPQ-zojS882g7K7Umd-6MSZDb0uuPHPH9710SBePijypYSlqdDd-SMZGIxEXKlknM8_oIVP8I4mjs1TlCAOsFrhDuLk4cOhwx3zdHRP4Ck9dR3OKTYsnIwLsIAw9RrSNHE9M47ad/s1600-h/DSC00910.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335465141012267634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 378px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSvmhEaPQ-zojS882g7K7Umd-6MSZDb0uuPHPH9710SBePijypYSlqdDd-SMZGIxEXKlknM8_oIVP8I4mjs1TlCAOsFrhDuLk4cOhwx3zdHRP4Ck9dR3OKTYsnIwLsIAw9RrSNHE9M47ad/s400/DSC00910.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWS3vSSndFnl_sWAiOqZ53PxRZe1Lvwdqr0ekShKSA1sBlDotgB7VxsQlGbxPQhZzyuI6P-A6qrlxHRI1g1gBY2VBoQEyqJb0WwKmKROxic25jVj0nDdnWkz1k5dg4eX0zNyAbY14T6-6k/s1600-h/DSC00907.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335465140451978610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWS3vSSndFnl_sWAiOqZ53PxRZe1Lvwdqr0ekShKSA1sBlDotgB7VxsQlGbxPQhZzyuI6P-A6qrlxHRI1g1gBY2VBoQEyqJb0WwKmKROxic25jVj0nDdnWkz1k5dg4eX0zNyAbY14T6-6k/s400/DSC00907.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This photo is TERRIBLE of me but look how much my big girl looks like me here!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5FMePN_dlOUFGOkHom7R_0HLnrX8T4Xyd1cSXR2JKeAjuf_gajtd_e22QS1weLKwhhcgT39_Yz3XuM9AlGq6jFxuO8R8B-Rp8MT5bpff6nomXBROCw1B1gyHln8zSt1vPVPz6TQ2Ht7f/s1600-h/DSC00968.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335465133945717474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu5FMePN_dlOUFGOkHom7R_0HLnrX8T4Xyd1cSXR2JKeAjuf_gajtd_e22QS1weLKwhhcgT39_Yz3XuM9AlGq6jFxuO8R8B-Rp8MT5bpff6nomXBROCw1B1gyHln8zSt1vPVPz6TQ2Ht7f/s400/DSC00968.JPG" border="0" /></a> The day we found out that we were having a girl we stopped at the Harley shop and Jason picked out this outfit to bring her home in.
