shabby & HOT

created this shabby vintage card out of a card i received from a friend (hi leesa!). too pretty to throw out! i cut a panel out from part of the card and added a bit of this and that. there's a Moxie challenge going on here so check it out if you like doing shabby/vintage cards OR if you just like looking at this style, there are lots of good looking entries to feast your eyes on. (contact me if you want the supply list too lazy to list.

sooooo, just the other week, i was complaining how gloomy and ugly its been here. and now--- it hotter than hot!!

i took the boys on a mini picnic friday to the great park. it's nearby our house and it has this great big air balloon that you can take a ride. it's anchored down but still, an experience to be had. there's also lots of grassy area for them to run and the plus---no one around so they can be as loud & annoying as they want and i don't have to worry about them bothering anyone!

i surprised brandon & bryan by secretly inviting a friend of ours to join us. brandon & peyton went to preschool together but were not in the same class for kinder but we still had our playdates and saw each other since we live steps away from each other. she has a brother, jax, who is a little bit older than bryan (and another little brother, evan, who is not in this pic).

the kids all had a fun time! did i mention it was 92* that day??!! hot hot hot!!!
