Just a qickie to show you my new preview of my entry to the SA Apprentice challenge, which you can find HERE. So come leave me some love. :) Well I just had something very exciting happen this morning, which I never thought I would get so excited about. lol My 2 1/2 yr old Logan come to me and said mommy poopie. So he takes his pants down and diaper off. So we go into the bathroom as we always do where he usually just plays with the toilet paper and flushing the toilet. Well today was a different. I sat him up there and he pooped!! YAY!! I'm so proud of him!! We had to call my mom with all the excitement! LOL Anyway, I've really got to get in the shower now. The kids want to get out and I can't blame them. So off to the park in a little bit for us today. Have a great day all!! :)

Weeeee....I made it to the second round of the Scrap Artist Apprentice contest!! I can't tell you how excited I am!! And I just finished my first part of the second round. Just waiting for a reply from Michelle before I upload it. I'll definatly post with a preview and link when I get it up to the site! :) Oh and I got another new ct! YAY!! Please welcome Davita to my already fabulous team! She's so sweet too! You can view her layouts HERE. On another note Sandy has resigned from my ct last night. She just had way too much on her plate and felt it was best of her to do so at this time. We will definatly miss her but I know she will still be around. I wish her all the best! :) Onto other things. Today my DH and the kids went to the county fair. I think I know realize what most adults do at these things when the rides don't interest you anymore. lol Can I tell you that we all ate nothing but junk today! LOL The boys were little troopers too. Not one nap until Noah decided he just couldn't keep his eyes open any longer which was around 5:00pm. But both of them slept like little babies on the way home. lol They were so pooped from all the fresh air and excitment. Wish I had gotten some good pictures of them but there wasn't any time or place for it. But here is one of Noah in the Old Mc Donald Farm that I thought was kinda cute. He had just gotten done hugging this goat. lol Anyway, I have a couple other pictures to show from Monday. Monday we went out with my mom and wound up at a pumpkin patch. Click on the picture to view the album. September 25 Sep 26, 2006 - 48 Photos Well it's getting late. So I best stop rambling now. ;) Have a good one! :)

Couple of exciting things today... Okay first to start. I've taken the plunge and thrown in my hat to the Scrap Artist Apprentice. I figured it was a great oppertunity and I couldnt pass it up. So if you'd like to get this little baby free. Come check it out and all the other fabulous entries HERE Please remember to leave a little love if you take. :) My next exciting thing today is I would like to Welcome my newest creative team member Shalini! WOOHOO!! Her work is FABULOUS!! Check out her gallery HERE Well that's about it for today. Other than my husband is home and finally got a sticker on my truck. lol Yeah thats exciting too since it was a month over due. So hope you all having a wonderful day!! Talk later!

So guess what I did!! Ahhh...Yeah I made a layout finally! LOL I seem to have put that on the back burner these days. Only because I really love designing and just can't get enough. LOL So wanna see! credits: Sketch by Diamante @ 3scrapateers Dreamy blk/White Photo Actions by Diamante Designs @ 3Scrapateers Rock N Roll Alpha (recolored to match page) by Misty Mareda @ thedigishoppe Resilience (papers) by Lie Fhung @ ztampf LOL...Isn't he too cute! I felt this was an appropriate layout after his little injurie. So incase you haven't seen I put some new photo actions in the store. You can find them

Ahhh...So I finally have a little piece for a moment. Daddy got home at a decent time tonight and has taken the boys with him for a little. I so needed the break. Noah was up lots last night. Well lets just say about three hours straight. I dont think it was really about his arm but more or less that he is a little spoiled. lol He would not let me get comfy at all and when I would move he would scream at me. He wants my face and me right there. And I mean right there. Hoping for a better night tonight. lol So I have made a couple more actions that I really like and am hoping to have these tried and in the store soon. So will let you know then. Oohh...Big brothers on. So I must talk later! Have a great one!! ;)

Gosh I watchwatched the history channel on 9/11 tonight and it all still gives me the chills. Anyway, Noah is such a little trooper. You wouldn't even know he had a broke collar bone. But I am trying to keep him from getting to wild. Key word trying...lol I mean after all he is 18 months old and right full of energy. We did go to the park yesterday for something to do. Here are a couple pictures I took of each of them. Oh and I've been playing with making my own actions on my pictures. So let me know what you think. ;) Not too much difference in these two of Noah but one is a little brighter. I'm still playing though. So today we went to a parade in remembrance of 9/11. That all gave me a little chills also just knowing why we have to have a celebration for this day. Wish we didn't but I'm so proud of our country and how we've all come together is such a time. I wanted to get pictures which I did manage to get a couple but was holding the little one most of the time so no free hand for the camera. Here though are a couple pictures that I did get. Okay guess I've talked enough for today. Now I must get something done. LOL Talk soon!

Just wanted to update on Noah. We went to the doctors today and he checked him out and figured it was a clavicle fracture. So sent us to another place to have an x-ray. He was right. His clavicle is broken. Now I feel so bad that I didn't bring him in yesterday not that it would have made a difference. The doctor said this is common with kids who fall out of bed or sometimes happens to infants as the pass though the birth canal. He told me with infants they dont do anything to treat this and it usually heals fine on its own. So this is the appoach we are taking. He did say we could wrap it up but I'm thinking that it's not really going to do much good anyway and Noah would just find his way to get it off like he did when he injured his finger and the doctor glued it. Yup he took the tape off picked at the glue and managed to open the wound again. So I wrapped it many times again and even once put a who piece of that bangage tape all the way around his hand which he also got off. Little stinker. But anyway back to his shoulder. Noah seems to be doing well with it and it only seems to really bother him when he wakes up. I assume from not moving it around and it stiffens up. So we are going to do the tylenol and hope for the best. I do have to take him back for his 18 month check up since we missed it last week due to my truck needing to be fixed. So we'll see how the fracture is doing then. Poor little guy. Okay gotta run again so talk soon.

Well I got an injured player in the house. My little guy was walking on my back as I laid on the couch the other night and went to lean on my head then went face first driving his sholder into the floor. I picked him up and held him as he cried. He then stopped and seemed okay but later woke up that night whining which he does sometimes. I new though that he was in a little pain but figured he'd be okay and was just a little sore from it all. So yesterday morning he woke up crying again. I new I should have brought him into the doctors but waited it out a little. He seemed fine as the morning went on riding his bike playing with his brother and feel asleep for his nap a little early due to getting up earlier than normal. So I just let things be. Well today his sholder seems to be still bothering him so we are going to the doctors in an hour. I still think it's just a little bruised but want to make sure before the weekend gets here. Poor little man. So wish us luck. On another note my two year old has figured out how to unlock the windows and pull up the screens. This is not good either. I now have these visions of the what ifs and am now scrared to leave the room to go do laundry, although he pretty much follows me where ever I go but still. What if. OMG....these kids are going to give me a nervous break down. lol My mother always said wait until you have kids to see what she has gone through and now I know just what she meant. It's a constant worry. But boy they are cute and I wouldnt know what to do with out them! Okay gotta run. Talk later!

Ahh...It's late and I need to get to bed! LOL No extra nap for me tomorrow I'm home alone with the kids. Boy don't I love when the two teenagers and hubby is home. So much easier to do anything. But that's okay we pretty much have a good schedule that we do during the week which seems to work out great. So I hope you all had a great Labor Day. It was pretty nice here. Weather was about high 75 degs today. Gotta love that. Oh and I went grocery shopping today. one of our local apple orchards had some apples in the store. MMMmmm...That means it's about time to go apple picking! I can't wait. This is something that both the kids will really enjoy this year. And then we can make pies! Oohhh...makes my mouth water just thinking about it! So we best stop taking about it! ;) Well finally got my truck fixed. Hubby and one of his friends did it yesterday. Thank god the guy has a garage. It was icky and cold out. While they fixed that the four kids and I went to the mall. OMG...remind me it's not a good thing to go to the mall with them again. How embarrasing are they. lol Well this is what happened. We walk in and you know how the stores will hang signs from the ceiling with just a little thin wire. Well...My teenage step son had my two year old on his sholders. They come up to one of those signs and my step sons tells the two year old to get it. so of coarse he does. So what happens. YUP...The thing comes out from one side and just about knocks some lady out. OMG...I was speachless and didn't know what to do. I wanted to crawl under a rock. Oh and this was right beside a cash register which happend to be busy at the time. So it was a line of people standing there. LOL KIDS!! Okay on to other stuff. I finished another kit. Sunkissed. I love that name and it fit perfectley. Here's a preview with a couple close-ups. If you'd like to find out more please visit HERE. Oh before I go. Does anyone else see pink for the font here? It looks black to me and in my settings on the template it's showing a dark brown. Let me know. Maybe I need to do some adjusting? Thanks! :) Okay off to save my next project and turn in for the night. Have a great one! :)
