Hi remember me??

A list of what I've been doing and my excuses for being such a bad blogger (these are in the order of how I remember the stuff and that's it)
1. attending too many of these parties- YUM
2. growing this - 7 months!! and still NO NAME!! HELP!! learned that pose from the maternity pics I took awhile back - makes your butt look better
3. buying this - it's not the best pic but you get the idea - finally found the Pottery Barn bedding I've been hunting - can't wait to get it!! Baby GIRL is going to have a little Hawaiian themed room - can NOT wait to work on it!! (realized I uploaded the wrong set, it's this basically just not the island sign but the other one and then some more stuff, but you get the idea)
4. major Christmas shopping - love it - so far cade is getting a little Einstein's rocket and a Transformer helmet thing from Santa , we've got him a few little things transformers and crap and so he needs some stocking fun and that's about it!! Most everyone else is taken care of, got a few more things left and must make a decision on Byron's gift.

5. Making these!(the coloring is of course off but you get the idea) I am super close to being caught up with my 2007 pictures - my major goal to have done before the baby is born - so it's very possible to have everything but Christmas pics done by the end of December and then January I can work on Christmas!! wohoo!!Oh for 2007 I did an ABC album instead of chronological so a lot of my pages are mish mash as LA would say and then others will still be Christmas or a theme. I have loved doing it this way. This one below is obviously for Y - You are... and some of them are a flirt, a friend, an artist, a dancer, etcI saved most of his tickets stubs from movies he went to see and then wrote in other movies that he watches a ton lately on the little labels on the hearts. The other side is leftover pics that I just couldn't part with. AND cade took the BW ones of me so that's why they are on there. (it says Movie Maniac and Mommy Love)Was really struggling with"I" and found where I had done in interview with him so I typed it up and am really happy with it this LODid a LO of my niece and then there is a separate one of my nephew on his letter.Love the way this one turned out with the ribbon etc - it's for X, it has Cade's grandmas, great grandma and great great grandma on it
Silly one for A - All BoyThese are a few from an album I'm making for my sister for Christmas. It's of both her kids and it's faves from the year - all the pics are in sepia and go really well with the paper but of course coloring looks bad.

There's another side to this one but it's not that interesting and I just didn't feel like fooling with taking it out of the page protector.

6. Hiring/interviewing more people for HERE

7. watching these STILL for only 2 more weeks and then I have about 1 -1/2 weeks with NO kids and THEN I'm officially part time!! I will have 2 after school for a few hours and one all day Wed, and Thur and Fri afternoon - yipee!!


8. Watching the boys make this - totally Byron's doing

9. Using these too much!





10. some serious nesting (which I think sounds so dorky) I actually hung up pictures last night that have been down since this summer when I painted and have been cleaning and purging like a mad woman - MUST -CLEAN - EVERYTHING - NOW!!

I have NOT been doing the following:

1. blogging obviously

2. getting a Christmas tree - Saturday is the day,we always go cut ours down love that!

3. sleeping enough - just too much I want to do

4. eating right, I know, I know I'm pregnant, but I've got such a sweet tooth

5. reading - I DID start the book Plain Truth by Jodi Piccoult while I was waiting an hour for my gestational diabetes test (negative by the way), but haven't read much more than that UNLESS you count reading every single name in the girl section of the baby name book - SERIOUSLY!! so...

6. NOT making a final decision on a name - although Byron has. I'm just not for SURE

7. making my Christmas cards - think I'm going to use a picture and have them printed and then all I have to do address the envelopes - sorry no handmade cards for me this year!

OK - I think that should qualify for a post - RIGHT??? So, what I'm good for about another 2 weeks surely! Hey if I don't post again - Merry Christmas, heck Happy New Year, and possibly Happy Valentine's Day - HA!!

I'm thankful you are indeed alive. :) A few comments ... First, I LOVE the "I" page. The interview is a great idea and I really like your layout. Also, I've been cleaning (purging, organizing, trashing ...) and not eating right ... AND I'm not pregnant. It's a good time of year to clean house (literally and figuratively). Thanks for taking a few minutes to blog. I was close to forgetting who you were. :)

yah!!!!you're back...we missed you but you have been so productive, unlike me who is attached to my computer...you look fantastic!!! Happy tree cutting on Saturday

Heather said...

I'm so glad your back! Even though I talk to you every day, I still miss reading about you! I love all your pages. (Will be copying most of the LOs!)

Amy said...

Well, it is good to see you are back. Wow! you have been busy...it really puts my nonproductive life to shame. I do really like the 'I' LO as well...I may be scraplifting that LO. I wish I was purging, organizing and trashing at my house...it needs it really bad. I am just to drawn to the computer when I have time to myself and procrastinate, my favorite past time. Anyway, thanks for sharing and updating us on your life :o)

You look adorable.

Golly, now that's what I call a post!

First of all, you look amazing. Especially your butt. ;)

I also love the 'I' LO. It's fantastic. I want to do a ABC book too. My wedding album needs to get done though. I'm not all that caught up...

I've also been eating terribly (blame it on nursing 8 times a day!) and caught the cleaning bug. I tried to clean my scrapbook room but i think i just made it worse. It looks like Archivers exploded in our guest room. Help! I need to contact TLC.

Have fun getting your tree!
