card making

I havent't posted in awhile a long time, but here are some cards that I made over the weekend. We have a few birthdays in the month of March so it's always fun to make them for them. That is one of my resolutions this year is to make everyone a made card this year. I have so much scrapbook stuff and now I'm really into papertreyink that there is no reason I can't find the time to make a card, right? Anyways, I have recently stopped working and that means I have more time with the family and boy have we been busy. Two out of the four are in school and just keeping up with them and their assignments, projects, and activities is a full time job. :) I love staying at home and my wonderful husband is very supportive. I'm in grad school at USF so that is occupying some time as well, but I want to be better at this blog. I'm a huge blog searcher and there are so many pretty ones! I need to vamp mine up. So wish me luck on keeping up with this! The one with the flowers has scor-tape on it and then just pink glitter. It is the easiest thing ever and it adds to much to the card. Another fun one was the green card which was for my brothers 40th bday and he was a little stressed about that number, so the card says, "its just a number". Thought that was a cute touch. Again all the supplies were from papertreyink.com

Enjoying Summer time

I don't know about you all but we are so busy these days. I love summer because I don't have to worry about homework, but we have to squeeze in fun time! I have been taking the kids every weekend to the waterparks so it will give them something to do. Then during the week camps. They are in gymnastics camp this week. How fun! Can't wait.

Well here is just a sweet picture of Olivia she just enjoyed her first birthday a few weeks ago. I can't believe the year went by so fast. She is learning so much and I think this month she has really changed the most. She last learned to run, blow kisses, drink whole milk, drink from a sippy cup--no more bottles, blow on hot food, laugh out loud, play with babies, feed her baby a bottle (after she tries to see if anything will come out of it) and she loves the water. She is growing up so fast. I just wish time would stay still sometimes.

HELLO!

Sorry my life has been so busy right now. I am split so many ways. I am in NP school, working FT, and with the 4 kids. I refuse to let any of my busy life get it their way. I still keep them in everything its only fair. But here is a pic of my kids. They are getting so big. School is almost done soon and boy I can't wait!!! No more homework to work on them with them. This is Sebastian's First Holy Communion last month. What a special day for us all.

Sorry its been awhile

Tonight we are trying to get Olivia to sleep in her bed and she is just crying it out. It is so hard to hear her but I know its worth it in the end because I get my bed back and she can get some space. I have been so busy in school right now it is final and paper writing time. I am excited because hopefully I can go to the Orange & Blue Gator game this saturday but if this paper is not done then just Dad will go with the older 2 kids. They are all excited! :) Here is a beautiful pic of my kids when we went to Utah last week. We go every year and just love it. It is so nice to get back in the sun though.

Lazy but busy day!

I wish I had so much more time in the day to get everything I want done. I wish my brain could function on no sleep. I wish I never got tired and I could accomplish everything that I want to do. I love talking to people and in my career I get to do that every day. I love my co-workers and the stories they tell. They make me laugh and smile all the time. I bet not many people can say that about the people they work with. The day for me always starts off so busy with packing lunches, cleaning the kitchen (because I am not that great about cleaning it the night before) and then just getting all of my stuff ready to go to work. I say goodbye to all the kids with kisses and then I am off. Today I missed all the kids so much and I couldn't wait to be done with work to come home to them. Olivia was so excited to see me and all the others too. My husband was busy playing football outside with Sebastian and today Gabbie went to school. Her going to school is always a great thing because she will actually sleep at night tonight which is great for me. Well I am keeping up with Project Life still and yeah its almost been a month. Only 11 more to go!! LOL I wish you all the best in getting everything done in a day that you want. I wish I could scrapbook more and read and do homework and play with the kids and the list goes on and on. Here is another card I did.

Happy Monday!

Today my poor baby Olivia is not feeling well. Double ear infections so we have been snuggling a lot after the doctor's and also playing lots of memory with my 4 year old Gabbie. What fun!

Here is a picture of a card for a thank you note. The product is from www.papertrey.com who I am in love with. Everything they have is adorable!

Got to go because the baby is fussy again.

Also my son Sebastian is into goofy faces so it's hard toget a good one of him these days.

Yesterday was Gabbie's actual birthday and we had such a great time. I took her to the zoo in Tampa the Lowry Park zoo and we had fun. She just adores animals and had to talk to every goat there and love on them. They have a cute petting zoo for little kids. Then she had to go on the pony ride about 3 or 4 times and that was so cute. Then we got stuck on I4 for 4 hours because of the sink hole in Tampa. That was no much fun being in a car for that long with a 4 year old, but she did really well. I think better then me. I almost broke down a few times. Besides all of that mess we had a pretty great day. Okay the top picture is the one from the other day where we put the hat on Olivia and doesn't she look adorable. The next picture is of the "house" that Gabbie builds around me everytime I lay down to feed Olivia.
