Chaos

So here is a shot of my mom's group at dinner. I thought I share this picture 1. because we were having a good time. 2. because you can see the length of my new haircut.

Life is crazy right now, I am preparing for Kyler's birthday bash which I still have some invites to mail tomorrow.

Kyler and I both have dental appointment this week. We went in earlier this month and both of us have cavities. Which is really disappointing.


My house needs some serious cleaning before people come over. I just can't seem to keep it clean these last few weeks.

My car window needs repair!Today when Dan and I went to a Midsummer's Night's Dream in Ashland we came out and the small chip in my window decided to grow to 2 1/2 feet long.

I need to get my husband something for our 8 year anniversary on the 23rd.
Just lots of crazy stuff going on!

School House

Its that time again. And as much as I love him, I am glad that he is at school. He truly enjoys it. In the meantime I have been cleaning up the entryway. And backing up the photos on my computer. And watching Silk Stalkings Season Two over my shoulder while cleaning up the entryway. I know life is exciting!! Isn't it? People always ask me what I do with my time on Tuesdays when he is at school and this is it.

Last night I started Kyler's birthday invitations. They are in my opinion stinkin' cute. I'll have to post a picture later as I must get back to the entryway soon. His birthday is on a Sunday this year so we decided to buck the Saturday party thing and go for a Sunday party thing.

Anyway I hear the entry calling my name.....

Last Day

Today was Kyler's last day of Preschool for the 2007-2008 school year. We had a nice little ceremony for all the kids. ( Even though Kyler and majority of the other kids will be there next year. I took this picture on before school this morning in about the same spot that I took his first day picture. I always think its fun to look back and see if he has grown. I think he has! I know he has learned a lot this last year at school. He has told me that he is very excited to spend this summer at Grandma Sandy's and Grandpa Jay's.



Here are a couple of pictures from tonight's ceremony/recital:

General Stuff

I haven't updated in awhile, not that a whole lot has happened. I had a nice Mothers Day. Dan's parents came down from Portland and Dan took his mother and I out to dinner on Sat. Then on Sunday I got gifts from Kyler. A tube of some seriously red lipstick, a CSI game, some glue ( I am in the group of few you likes glue as a gift) and the Princess Bride movie (which we already have copy of) Anyone need a copy? The rest of the day we spent at my mom's.

The other thing that has taken up lots of time is the yard. Today we have been leveling, spreading fertilizer, seed and now compost. The sprinklers are all done it the lower half. After we get done seeding we are going to work on getting the retaining wall up for the pool. Then we will address the upper part of the lawn.

I have been scrapbooking but haven't take pictures of my layouts recently. I have an all day crop in Roseburg on 31st of May. I am excited! I was packing up kits last night to be ready.

Well I should go clean up. I leave you with a picture of Dan and Kyler installing the pipes for the sprinklers.

Eggs

yesterday. We had planned on having friends over and doing it all together but the night before I started to get a sore throat. I didn't think I should expose myself to other so canceled having the friends over and it was just me and Lets start with the good... I dyed eggs with KylerKyler. So lets see know I have a horrible case of poison oak. The beginnings of a staff infection on the poison oak. I fell down at the preschool of Tuesday so I have scraps on my elbow and knee and now I have a cold. Its almost ridiculous. I am hoping to enjoy some of our Easter tomorrow... Anyway I leave you with some pictures of our egg dyeing.

You got mail

Kyler got his first package in the mail yesterday from Grandma and Grandpa Edwards. He was pretty excited. When I got it out of the mail box he asked if it was for him and carried for the mail box up the driveway in the car...

He got a little yellow basket with some candy...

And a really cute Yertle the Turtle.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa. You rock!

Sick

Kyler has had a cold since Weds. He is starting to feel better now. This was the scene around the house the last couple of days. Lots of TV watching.

I just finished watching the movie No Reservations. It was cute but more like a romantic drama than a romantic comedy. Have I mentioned that I love netflix. I don't have to go into town to get a movie cause there always seems to be one that came in the mail.
Publish Post
I have been doing this contest through personal scrapper. Its a take off of Survivor. Its the 3 round now and its getting more difficult. We have to complete 6 layouts in two weeks. The prize is awesome so Iam hopeful but don't expect to win.

Saturday Seven

Well I don't have much time. We have a birthday part today and then are going over to the farm. Here are some pictures from our week. Dan and I burned last weekend. Dan got a little poison oak but I am clear thank goodness.

Then we have Kyler been cute is his cowboy hat.

On Valentines Day we had dinner with my mom and Jay. Kyler and I were in charge of bring the dessert. We made little chocolate heart cake with hot fudge inside. They were very yummy...

Kyler admiring all his Valentines from his friends at school.

just me

I have been a bad blogger lately again. There really isn't much to say. We have just been busy doing the mundane. Right now I am sitting here watching Dan once again play Guitar Hero.

We are all doing well. Kyler and I finished his Valentines last night. We got through 3 Kyler signature before Kyler got tired of writing his name. He recognizes lots of letter and can tell you that K is for Kyler. A is for apple. S is for snake and Sandy.

Well I am yawning like crazy so I think this is all I have in me tonight.

28

So I am 28 now. My birthday was pretty low key this year lunch with Dawn, Kathie, Jamie and Rachel (girls from work) at Blue Stone. Went over to mom's and had Matsukaze for dinner. Yum! Yum! Dan and Kyler (mostly Dan) made me a cute cake. Didn't get a picture of it this year. Mom and Jay got me a really cool scrapbooking hobby cabinet from Fred Meyers and Dan got me another one to match. We haven't gotten them together yet. I'll take a picture when they are. Kyler got me a girl pirate toy. (He picked out all on his own can you tell) Dad got me a gift certificate to the Brewery and my in-laws got me a gift card to Michaels. It was a loot filled birthday :)

I have been working on the Disney scrapbook. I am going for a nice but simple and clean look. I don't wanna go to over the top as I might not be able to keep it going. I like the pages so far.

Christmas and Beyond

We had a great Christmas. It started off at our house with a just me, Kyler and Dan. Kyler came down the stair to see his Transformer from Santa and his bike from Grandma and Grandpa Edwards and all the other wrapped presents. I tried to get the moment he saw it on camera. I think I got close. We opened our presents here and had a nice breakfast.Kyler (and Dan) bought me a beautiful ring with Kyler's birthstone in it. We went over to Medford to visit Dan's Grandma for a bit. Then we cam back over and spend the rest of the day with my family at my mom and Jay's. We got so many nice things. Thanks everyone!

Now on to the beyond. I woke up with a little sore throat but I thought maybe I was just dry from sleeping, I went to work anyway. I started running a Fever came home and just felt bad. This was the story for the next couple of days. Sore throat and fever up and down. By Sat. I was just dying. I went to the immediate care and lo' and behold I have strep throat. I am feeling much better now still a little soreness in the throat and not quite up to par energy wise. But much better! I am not contagious anymore.

We didn't do much last night just ate some super yummy Hunan Garden and watched a movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I liked! Dan was confused but still laughed at all the funny scenes. I went to sleep before 12 and Dan stayed up watching 40 year old virgin. That was our Holiday. Happy New Year! I wish you and your family the best year next year.

Just living

My mother in law told me I had been a very very bad blogger. So here is one picture from the time that they cam down after Thanksgiving. We have been so busy just living that I haven't blogged in a while.
We are 6 days and counting for Disney. Yesterday I did most of our packing and washed the remaining clothes that need to be packed. I went over the final details of the Silver Creek party with Suzanne. I think its very sad that the two people who don't work at Silver Creek are playing the party but hey it wouldn't happen if it wasn't for us. I also put together my little gifts for everyone at the party from the Edwards family. I got the idea from Ali Edwards(no relation) blog so I can't take all the credit. But I am quite happy with the cost. 4 dollars to take care of all the office.
Today we are going over to Jacksonville with Jay and Mom to see Santa and just hang out a bit. I hope its nice.
And lastly I am getting a sore throat and stuffy nose 6 days before Disney. I am calling my doctor 1st thing in the morning to see if she can get me anything to prevent a full on sickness in Florida. It better not happen!

Here are my CHEAP Silver Creek gifts. They are monogrammed ornaments. The are Rich and Suzanne's. I bought the clear ornaments from the dollar store 3 to a pack .33 cents each and the monograms are just stickers I had in my scrap stash. Dan poop pooped the idea but then said he was happy with the cheapness factor. I think they turned out pretty cute.

3

Many birthday wishes for my little guy today. He turns 3. We are having his birthday party tomorrow and driving up for my great niece Kirra's party. They share the same birthday.

We had a little morning birthday celebration with just the 3 of us. Kyler got a cupcake and to open a few presents.

On a entirely different subject. I watched Oprah yesterday, she had Sean Penn on a he was promoting his new movie Into the Wild. I had never heard the story of Christopher McCandless. Very interesting stuff. I am not sure if he was stupid or a genius. I am thinking maybe a combination of both. But I have to admire him for stepping out of the box and having a little adventure. Makes me think I should be more adventuress, not to his extreme but something. I think I may read the book. Anyway I gotta go get ready to head up to RB and Party down with Kirra. :)

Random stuff

Made this today with mostly scraps from Carrie's PaperTrunk Gigi Line.
I love the way it turned out. I bought these coasters months ago and they have been bouncing all over the scrap room since. I looked at them a couple of times thinking I should do something with them. I love this paper line so much I knew this was the one to use.

We went boating Saturday with Leann, Rachel and Jorge. It was so fun and a beautiful day at the lake. I think everyone had a great time. I thought Kyler would show off his newly acquired swimming skills but he kept telling me that it was far too cold.

I have finally decided on some of Kyler's birthday details. I think we are going to have it on the 22nd at Abby's pizza. I just don't think that Dan will be able to finish the deck by then. It will be nice to have someone else clean up afterwards. Anyway. I am going to go enjoy some La Burrita and a movie.
