LOVE days like this!!!!

What a wonderful weekend we had...Sunday,
we decided to head to the beach and just relax...
it didn't start out beautiful at all, but by the end of the
day, it was absolutely gorgeous...had some crab legs,
shrimp at Molly's at the Sheraton on the beach and
the kids just enjoyed the sun and sand. I didn't think
they would get in the water, it was only in the 70's that day, but
boy was I wrong...

It was a great day....couple more shots that I

got of the kiddos..

They are actually being nice to one another, I'm shocked...lol ;)

Don't ask, I have no idea what he was doing...

he just likes to play in the sand.

My two boys...

Dad and Danielle 

these are the best kind of days...with the family and having fun.

Also, check out sketch#115 from "the Scrappiest" 

Here is my layout using this Sketch...

"Can we say Attitude"

And last but not least, the Pre-Orders for the fabulous MAY Kit from Tallyscrapper

Wow, what a Fun-Filled Crazy Weekend!!!

It sure has been busy in my neighborhood lately,
kids going in every direction, soccer practices, games,
basketball banquets, working at my fun new job, hubby retiring
from the Marine Corps...busy, busy!!
Well, Friday night was Danielle's Basketball Banquet, she
was really excited.  This is her last year playing Middle School
Basketball, most of her teammates are going to different High
Schools, so this was bitter-sweet for her.  But in the end, they
all had a wonderful time and are all such great girls and she has
got some great coaches...

Danielle and Coach Blunt(her favorite Coach)

Danielle and Coach Galhaus

I just love this Basketball Banquets,

Coach Blunt always makes the girls dress up

for the banquet, which is nice for mom,

because otherwise, Danielle wouldn't ever

put a dress on to save her life. 

But doesn't she look just gorgeous!!!

Most of the Girls Basketball Team, LadyBears(7th & 8th Graders)

Danielle got "Most Rebounds" for the season and of course 

her Basketball Trophy.  So proud of her.

Danielle and one of her bestie 7th grader friends, Dana.

And of course, Danielle and her bff, Monica...I swear, I wonder about

these girls sometimes, so goofy :)

And here is Kaleb, right before we got to the banquet, not a happy camper...did NOT want to be going...LOVE his expression...(can't wait to use this photo on a layout)

I also got abit of scrapping done over the weekend....

I did this layout "Love" for the current "The Scrappiest" Sketch 114

Tallyscrapper's "Light It Up Blue" Autism Cyber Crop and the gorgeous April KIT

Welcome to Tallyscrapper's first "Light It Up Blue" Cyber Crop.

When Christine aka Scrappgal came to Tally asking to help raise awareness for Autism, of course, we jumped at the opportunity to help her out. So we are going to have a fun-filled "Light it UP Blue" Cyber Crop with lots of fun challenges, games and Prizes. All the fun starts on Friday, April 1st and will run through Sunday, April 10, 2011. But we are going a step further to help with this great charity. We are asking for everyone to help Christine out and reach her goal of raising $150.00+ for Autism Speaks. Pinky has offered to handle all of the donations, by putting the donation button in the store and its just $5.00 to donate to this fabulous charity. 100% of proceeds will go to the "Light It Up Blue" Autism Charity. Of course, you can donate as much as you like, just click on the "Autism Speaks" here and it will take you to the donation page, at Tallyscrapper
Hope you come by and play with us and help raise awareness for this fabulous charity!!!

I also made this Flower Journal.  "...I always take photos of all of my plants each year and well alot of the plants that I planted last year don't come back up, so this is a great way to keep track of what I want to plant year to year. I still have alot of stuff to do on the inside pages, but I think you can get the jiff of it ;)
