Things have been so busy lately. My inlaws came for a quick visit. Things did not go as planned but hopefully they will be able to come again soon. My Mom is coming later this week. I love having my Mom come. We just like the same things :)

The 2 youngest are sick :( The baby was up most of the night. Burning up, just uncomfortable. So I just sat up and rocked him. Although I am tired from lack of sleep. I do love to cuddle my children.

I just received the new 3 scrappy boys kit. I can't wait to dig in and play. Hopefully tomorrow.

I know my friends at SHS and largefamiliesHS read this. I want to thank you for your prayers. Things are not perfect but they are good for right now :)

We found a church last Sunday. My FIL asked a friend to ask a friend to recommend a church that fit what we were looking for. He recommended his church. Great worship music, great pastor, life application teaching, family stays together service. It was BIG though. Hubby does not like crowds but the family service was a lot smaller so he will be brave :)

Have you seen our lost kitty?

Yep, very sad. We have a cat named Jack. He has been missing for a week. Since he is very attached to our youngest daughter Emma (like if he can't find her, he calls and calls walking all through the house until he finds her) So we are thinking that he was dinner for the coyotes. We are not telling Emma that of course. I have to say. I am totally sad about this Jack was the best cat. Totally relaxed, loved the kids. But The day after he went missing Molly told me Emma cried herself to sleep :( So what does mom do? She gets on craigslist and finds a kitten. I figure if Jack comes back we will have 2 cats. If he doesn't he will help Emma get past losing Jack. and He has so far. Meet Mater







He is happiest in someones lap purring and being loved on. He is the very sweet addition to our family.

3. Be a really good friend.

10 days can seem like a lifetime

When you husband is out of town, that is! Don't get me wrong. I love my children. I love having a large family. But boy, not having even one minute alone to myself for 10 days has been hard. I am sure part of that is the fact that I am not getting a lot of sleep. The baby is STILL waking up 2-3x a night. He is eating people food (versus baby food ;)) and still it doesn't help. None of my children have slept through the night while I was nursing. But none of them have been up this often. I am not ready to stop nursing but if I don't get some sleep I may change my mind. 10 days is a long to time go without scrapbooking too. I did a card for a friend that made MMM. (making memory masters) and that is it. Just feeling kind of tired and blah. Hopefully my hair cut this Saturday will perk me up some. and the fact that hubby comes home tonight!

high school musical 2

I am wondering if your house has children running around singing "what time is it?" Yes, the High School Musical 2 movie came out a week ago. Here are my thoughts on it. yes, it had more boyfriend/girlfriend stuff in it. I could have done without so much of that. But what I did like is
1. The contrast between the girl's clothing. Good girl Gabriella wears pretty dresses versus the snotty Sharpay's more trashy clothing.
2. The theme that ran through the movie was, be true to yourself, be a good friend.
3. the music, very catchy songs :) LOL


scrapbooking. There is so much competition now. I had tried out for a DT position at labeltulip. Cute kits! I didn't make it. Probably didn't even come close. They had over 300 scrapbookers apply. Wow!

I keep feeling so let down when I don't make a team I have applied for. Now I don't apply for every team out there. I only apply when I feel that the kits and I are a good match. No sense getting on a team for a kit you don't like :) but it really is like being turned down for a job. I either need to be content with scrapbooking for myself or figure out what I am lacking. Hummmmmmmmm stuff to ponder.

Hot hot hot!

It is so hot! 101... Our air is on all day. and even then it stays around 80. Just can't keep up with the heat.

Memory Maker Masters were announced today. While I am SO bummed to not get a call, I am very happy my friend Staci did get a call. Go Staci!!!!

So what have we been up to? Not a whole lot. Hubby took a day off last week and we tried to go berry picking. But apparently that our cold spring ruined the crops so no berries. Hubby took the kids swimming instead.

My computer died and I am on a spare. A spare that does not have printers, or photoshop loaded on it! So I am hoping to get a call from best buy to pick my baby up :)

I know I had other stuff I was going to talk about, but now I don't remember what it was.

So bye for now.
