Welcome Hayleigh!!

On June 27 at 12:14 AM Hayleigh Fate made her entrance into the world!  i just wanted to share a few photos of her.

I had better get off the computer as it is lightening,

She's Here!!

Just a short post to let you all know that our newest Grand-daughter Hayleigh, is here.
She made her entrance into the world on June 27 at 12:14 AM. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 12.6 oz. and is 18.5 inches long.
Renae and Hayleigh are doing great. Del is doing good too.
I will post a photo of her soon.

A Couple of Cards to Share

I have been so busy lately and have not had much time to be creative. This past weekend I did manage to make a couple of cards. One of them was for a Baby shower and the other one was for my Dad for Father's Day.

I created these cards using a sketch that is going on over at Stamp TV. This is a great site and has wonderful tutorials for learning new techniques. Here are my cards.

I really like the way that these turned out. I have never done the inside of cards but I have been inspired by Jessica Fick. Check out her blog for some awesome talent and inspiration.

On a personal note, Renae is going to be induced on June 26th!! We are all so excited for little Hayleigh to get here. We will go to Gillette this weekend to meet our new granddaughter. We can hardly wait!!

Have a great week.

Happy Fathers Day

Today is the day that is set aside to honor our Fathers, Grandfathers, Step-fathers, Brothers, Uncles and/or anyone else who is a father figure in our lives.

A few weeks ago I was asked by the editor of a local publication, Yellowstone Valley Woman, to write an article about the lessons that I had learned from my Dad. I was happy to oblige.

Any one that knows my Dad knows what a wonderful man he is. I was truly blessed to have him as a father. I have learned so much from him in my lifetime and he has always been there when I needed him. He has been my support system, my shoulder to cry on and just some one to give advice when I ask for it. I love him more than he will ever know. If you would care to read the article, you can find it here on page 74.

I love you, Dad!!

 

Welcome Sean Anthony!!

We have 4 grandchildren due to arrive in 2009. Last week, the first one arrived. His name is Sean Anthony. He is named after his Daddy's best friend and his Grandpa. Tony is so honored to have a grandson named after him.

Without further ado here is Sean Anthony:

 

Welcome to the world Sean. We love you!!

Ok, I am posting something new!!

I have had a few complaints that I have not posted something new.

I have a couple of photos to share tonight and then I will edit some more tomorrow and get them posted. Tomorrow I will introduce you to Sean, my adorable new grandson.

Last night we had Kayla, Nick and Kaya over for a bbq. We had corn on the cob and Kaya thought it was fun to chew on the corn cobs. She just could not figure out how come we were eating outside.

This is one of my favorite roses. I do not know the name of this rose but it is a beautiful pale lavender color and it smells so good.

Have a great day and see you back here tomorrow!!

TOOTING MY OWN HORN

I was recently asked to be on the Design Team for our local scrapbook store, Scrapbook Legacies. I was very flattered and excited so of course I said yes!! I get an awesome kit each and every month and I just use the items in the kit to create, cards, layouts or altered items. The paper line was from Bo Bunny (Calypso) I think it is called.

Here are the creations I made with it.

Sorry that they are a little bit blury. The last one is my favorite of all of them. I scraplifted the page from Laura Vegas, she is an uber-talented scrapbooker and I just love her creations. Of course having such great photos doesn't hurt anything.

We are hoping that we will have a new grandchild this week. They are all getting very close to being here.

Have a great Monday!!

MIA

I have been a little MIA lately. I have just been super busy.

Last weekend my wonderful husband got me a new laptop. We worked on it for quite some time trying to get everything loaded in and then it would not work with my camera. Tony spent too many hours trying to get it to work, no luck. We took the laptop back to Best Buy and they gave us a different one and guess what?? It works like a charm. I have yet to get all of my programs loaded onto it, but it does work with my camera. YAY!!!

We are anxiously awaiting our grandbabies arrivals. Stu and Erin's is due anytime. It would sure be nice if Sean would decide to arrive this weekend.

Renae goes to the Dr today and hopefully they will give her a date that they are going to induce her. She is hoping for the 20th of  June as she wants Hayleigh to have the same date (20) for her birthday and Renae does. If it is not the 20th it will be the 27th, unless of course Hayleigh just decides to come on her own.

Levi and Robin, have 5 weeks left to go before their "healthy girl or boy" arrives. That is what Levi calls the baby. They have not picked out any names for either sex, (at least that is what they are telling us). I know that they are both ready for baby to get here, and so are we!!

We are supposed to have very cold weather this weekend. The low tomorrow night is supposed to be 36 degrees. I am hoping that it does not get that cold or there will go my flowers. Gotta bring the fuchsia plant in for sure.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I will be moving my scrapbook room this weekend so I know it will not be all that fun but it will be nice to get it done.
