Kameron's Invention

I was out of the house one night this week,when I came home, Kameron shared with me that he made something while I was gone. 

I asked him what he had made. He answered, "A flashlight".

I wondered for a second, a paper flashlight with a paper bulb, etc.

Well, I was quite surprised when he told me that it actually lit up.

Then I asked to see it.

Here's what he brought to me.

A closeup..

I asked him if he made it himself and he said he did.  He shared with me that he had to ask his dad for some wire and how to strip the wire. The rest he put together on his own. 

Pretty cool huh?

It doesn't really surprise me that he created this. 
I know he is very capable of making something like this.

Great job Kameron!!

Mom is sooooo proud of you!! 

See I told you I would put your creation on my blog :))

Always!! 

Hope you're having a great Saturday!!

Latest and Greatest Author

I got a call today from our dear friends(more like our family), Bernadette and Bethany (our Nanny that has watched our children for years).  

That's really how our relationship started was "Nanny B" watching our children. Then we became close with her parents as well.  We are so very thankful to them for more than I can share.

Back to the call....

It was an urgent call. On the other end of the phone, I hear Bernie saying to me, "Can you stop by my house real quick in between your errands?"

Of course I responded with, "absolutely!!"

Me and Shine went over about 20 min later. 

I am met at the door by Bethany, then I see Josh, Alisha and Bernie.

Which really is not completely abnormal cause they always do that when someone comes over.  Especially when it's me, cause Josh loves it when I come over:)) ha! 

Anyway, here comes Bethany with this stack of papers and she hands them to me and says this is why we had you come over.  

I have to say, I was a little nervous to look down at what she had placed in my hands.

When I did, I just screamed at excitement for her.

Here is what she placed in my hands....

Yes, our Nanny B, has a contract to get a book published that she wrote.  

Uh-mazing!!! Well, although I am very excited, I am not in the least bit surprised. 

Bethany is a writer and we see it all the time, where she has written something that is quite amazing.

I have somewhat altered this picture slightly removing some things for personal reasons.

However, this is legitimate. This book is getting published and you will soon be able to buy this book in the major bookstores, Borders, Barnes and Nobles, Books-A-Million, etc.

I can't share much more about the details of this amazing book, but I can tell you this..I have not just read this book, but I actually had a reading of the entire book straight from the author herself including the utmost expression and emotion. 

Let me say, I cannot wait to get one or more of the first copies of this gem.

You will want one too, trust me!

I will most definitely share it here as soon as the cat is out of the bag.

Well, I guess I just took it out of the bag, but I couldn't wait.

But, no secrets out of my mouth, not yet.

Congrats to you our Nanny B!!

We are all so proud of you and cannot wait to 

go take pictures of you at your book signings. 

You know I will be there as your photographer. :))

I know you have waited a very long time for this and guess what?

It's here!! 

God has blessed you!!

Now let's go plan a book party!!

xoxo

Well that's the good news for today. 

Hope you have fun Friday and a wild weekend!!

Bling Picture Frame

Well, what a week we've had so far. Super busy. 

It seems we all have been going in many different directions and lots of new stuff happening.

We have also been planning Kameron's 9th birthday party.

I will be posting pictures here when we're done.
I think it will be so fun.

In the meantime, here's a quick project my daughter made for her friends birthday this week.

She wanted to give her something handmade. Here's what we came up with. 

A picture of the two of them in a decorated frame.

It's hard to believe that my little Shine is 3 years younger than her friend.
She looks as old as her friend. Where does the time go?

She made the flower herself and added the bling and "Friends" to the top.

It turned out great and Renee loved it.

Apparently it matches her room. 

Great job Shine!

Well, that's it for now. Been creating a lot of stuff lately, mostly layouts. 

I will be posting those very soon. 

Have a great rest of the week!!

Scrap Tiffany Sports Challenge

This weeks challenge with Tiffany is "Sports".

This could be anything...your favorite sport, your children sports, 

and anything else you consider a sport. 

You know you can make your own up now a days? ;))

I chose to create a layout of Kameron.

He loves sports, baseball, soccer, and cross country are his favorites however,  

he hasn't tried any others yet. 

I am sure he will as he gets older.

Here is my layout for this weeks challenge.

Take a looksy....

I love this picture. My friend Julie took it at one of the boys games. 

Our sons are friends, which made us friends. ;))  Don't you love that?

If the children get along it's most likely the parents will to.

Thanks Jules for the awesome surprise picture.

It will be hanging on my wall soon.

If you haven't stopped by Tiffany's to look at the other design team projects, you should. 

There is a ton of inspiration over there. 

I promise you will find something you like. 

Have an amazing Tuesday.

Let me know you stopped by.

New Blog Design

Well, this is the new look for my blog. 

It was time for a much needed facelift.  

I was ready to look at something else on here.
It's almost like wearing the same outfit everyday.

Well this is a short post for today.
Just wanted to pop on here and post something with the new and improved look.
Here's a quick pic of the kids on Kameron's Bday.
It was last week and I was so busy going to his school with donuts and
such that I didn't make a Bday post.
Shame on me!!
I will apparently miss the "Mother of the Year" award.
I always do a Bday post!
The kids all look a little tattered,  I do too, that's why I am behind the camera :))
They were all at school, then we ate dinner(one of Kam's favs, Homemade Chicken Pot Pie), then we went to the movies(his choice) for his day.
We are working on a party for him in the next couple weeks.

For now, here's a quick pic...

(Brooklin takes this opportunity to make a funny face for the camera)

That's it for today.
Come back tomorrow, I will have my latest layout for Tiffany.

Have a great Monday!!!
