crabby

hello! just a card i made for this challenge here. very simple & fast to do. flower is made from vintage music sheet paper.
i am working on things for my sister's baby shower that i am throwing her. lots to do & make!!last weekend, we went to the sealife aquarium at legoland. not as big as i thought it was.sharing a few pics. some of these pics were from my iPhone and some from my camera (with no flash) so some pictures may look grainy.

SHARK!!

cup of tea

if a teacup with a face doesn't make you smile, then i dunno what will! maybe 4 teacups with faces?? kept this card clean & simple for this challenge. teacups were paper pieced with 2 different patterened papers. we've been exploring our area more this summer. just seeing what the community has to offer. and surprisingly, there are tons of things to do with the kids. many of them FREE! we happen to find out last sunday that it was the sunday of the month that gave free rides on these mini trains. of course the boys loved it! brandon was a HUGE thomas the train fan by the time he was 1 1/2 yrs old. he could identify all the trains even though they all looked the same to me.

we told brybry that there were little people passengers in the front.

we look a little ridiculous right? the weather was nice---sunny, not too hot with a nice cool breeze.

better than the temps we've had days before where it was in the high 90's.silly boys! we rode the train 2x! fun day! after that, we went to the local library. they had free craft day. the boys made a caterpillar and a butterfly.

i wonder what our next adventure will be this weekend.....what does everyone else have planned? check your local city page.......you will be pleased with all the events your city (and nearby cities) have to offer. just fooling around with a picture of bryan.

brybry's eggies

one of brybry's favorite breakfast foods are "eggies". not sunny-side up like these but scrambled. i always enjoyed the times when i was home having breakfast time with brybry when brandon was in school. that was 'our' time. while i made his breakfast, he'd sit at the dinner table and insist i give him homework to do or paper so he can write & draw. so cute! cannot wait for the school year to start so i can have me & brybry time again!
hope this card is fun & cute to you all.....joining in on the moxie challenge here.

apparently, not everybody can do the tongue roll---can you? like the silly things bryan does! and i love how he's hugging a tree cause i told him to! ha!

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!!!
