1993

It's hard to believe it's been 20 years...
I love the 90s!

bad day

I've had a bad day today. 
One of those days where I either want to curl up into the fetal position in my closet or eat my weight in cookie dough. 
Got to take the good with the bad, right?
Tomorrow will be better...

Summer in Utah 2013


Finally finished this album from our adventures in Utah this summer. I just put the pictures in these templates, did a little journaling, a few elements and done. I took a lot of pictures so it's nice to have them somewhat organized. It was an especially awesome summer and we had a lot of fun. The only bummer part of it was my 20 year high school reunion was cancelled :( How lame is that?! I did however get together with some close friends that I haven't seen in a long time so that was awesome.

















{Supplies}
Paper and templates- Crystal Wilkerson
Word elements- Ali Edwards, Designer Digitals, Kara Dudley

seven

Happy 7th Birthday Heston!
We are so grateful for this kid. He's been mellow and chill since he was a baby. So mellow and chill that it worried me. But no, that is just his little personality, he just goes with the flow. I admire his determination and how hard he works in school...and this kid can swing a golf club! :) 
We love you Heston! 
I think H looks like Aaron...with brown eyes :)

Happy 14th Birthday Braden!
Of course, I love this boy. He's my eldest son and I'm his mom so of course I love him. However, I have to say that I really LIKE this boy. He laughs at my jokes, and I laugh at his. He keeps it real and lets me know, in a polite way, when I need to stop and take some deep breaths. I'm not afraid to admit when I am wrong and I apologize. He does the same.
 I enjoy his company. He's a great young man and I'm honored to be his mom.
 We were poor college students and I had a coupon so I went to JCPenney and had these pictures taken. It was a huge sacrifice at the time but I'm so glad we had these taken!
This is us at age 14 :)

back to life, back to reality...



Just typed the title to this post and now I have to include the song because I can't get it out of my head :)
I still love this song! I've already accepted the fact that when I'm an old lady, I will listen to and talk about the "classic music of the 90s" :)
We are back from our month long vacation in Utah. It's always great to catch up with family and friends! I love Arizona but I am a Utah girl at heart. Braden starts high school tomorrow and we need to get him a few more things. The kids and I go back on Monday. Our new campus isn't quite ready so our start date was pushed back a few days. Lots of exciting changes this year...should be a fun year!
