We went to a Twins Game this weekend! The kids love going to games! I got some pretty cute pictures!

and one more just cuz its cute, I'm not sure if they were telling secrets or if Ciaara was kissing her brother. lol

In other news around here Tball starts today, soccer wraps up this week. School is done on Thursday. Its a busy week!! :D

I know, I know....I am bad at this blogging thing. I tried to update a few times during the week but kept getting side tracked.

First and Foremost Happy Mother's Day to all you mommies out there!! Nate and the kids got me a pocket camera, I've been wanting one for awhile now, I LOVE my canon its just a little big and bulky to carry around. I miss some great photo opportunities by not having it with me so I am thrilled to have gotten this: They also got me new 2 gig memory cards (one for each camera) and the movie PS I Love You. They let me sleep in and gave me lots of love all day. We were going to plant my flower garden today also but the people at the garden store said to wait because its supposed to freeze tonight and the ground is too cold.


This has been and will be our life for the next few weeks..........SOCCER!!

The kids love playing and its so fun to watch them. They both have got goals in games! This year for Noah is more "official" they have referees and line judges and everything.

Last week there was a mama bear and three cubs up in a tree down the street, it was the talk of the town. People were driving down the street all day to look at them.

No other news really to talk about, I did get some mojo back and have a few layouts to share but I'll save them for next time. I hope you all had a WONDERFUL weekend and very happy Mother's Day!!

Mojo is Missing!

Sigh, do you think taking pictures like this and not having any mojo to scrap are related?

Sigh...................

Happy Birthday Ciaara!!!

She is SIX years old!! I can't believe it!! Six years ago today I was holding a baby girl in my arms and was so happy....so happy when Noah came in with Nate's parents to meet his baby sister for the first time. I can't believe how fast time goes, I don't know how six years just flew by!

Here she is at Six years old; Beautiful, Smart, Independent, Silly and Sweet!

I'm headed to her school at noon today with birthday treats and I always let the kids pick their birthday supper and she wants KFC so we will be going to get that after school! On Saturday we had a party at home for her! My mom and step-dad came down, Nate's dad and Grandma and my sister, BIL and my niece's were here! It was a beautiful day-- about 60 degrees!! The kids played out side and we all spent some of the day outside!

She got more presents then she needed and she got MONEY and a lot of it!! She had a great day!
Here are some pictures of her party!

She doesn't like birthday cakes, she likes cupcakes so I had to put all her candles in the cupcake :)

I will make her some goodies tonight too (brownies) and she still has presents from us to open!

She will have another busy day!

Happy Birthday Ciaara, my little princess, I love you very much :D

I got the Blahs!

Do you ever just get the blahs? You don't feel overly happy or overly sad, you just feel blah? Thats how I feel right now. I am so sick of winter and I think that is part of the problem, I can't wait til I don't have to bundle the kids up for school, I can't wait until I can walk outside without a jacket. and did I tell its supossed to snow again? :sigh:

The kids have spring fever, they won't settle down in the house. They are just wild. I just soooo need for spring to come!!!

On a happier note, I found this Fiskars Punch at Target last weekend!! I have been waiting for it to come out and was soooo happy I found it!

And I already used it on a layout!!! Its a must have and I know people are having a hard time finding it :(

Anyways, I hope my week cheers up a little, and I hope you all have a wonderful week :D
Take care!!

Worst Mom Award!

If there was such a thing as the worst mom award, I may have gotten it yesterday. Yesterday was a stressful day. lol I got the kids from school and they started fighting in the car on the way home (sigh). Well as the night went on they just would not settle down, between fighting and chasing each other all over the house and screaming and fighting I was at my wits end. So after asking them to stop what seemed like a hundred times I yelled at them and put them in a time out in their rooms.

Well Ciaara comes out and hands me this note: "I stil love you wen you yul" or I still love you when you yell in case you don't understand 5 year old spelling :) Could I have felt like a worse mom? I didn't let it show of course and explained that I love her when I yell and I love her when shes naughty but I'm trying to teach her the right way. (and how cute is that note and her spelling! lol)

On a lighter note here is my layout for Sketch This #46!

And a couple other layouts I've been meaning to share!
It was almost 50 degrees here yesterday and that felt WONDERFUL, I hope it stays warmer and we get rid of more snow!! I hope spring is peeking through!

Happy Wednesday, thanks for stopping by :D
