Recovering from a...

very busy weekend. First of all, on Friday, I had the worst day possible. Anything that could go wrong did.. including me sliding across the tile in the hall at school. I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow I tripped and fell. I was so sore. I swear I pulled every muscle in my body. I jammed my right knee and wrist and then got a huge "burn" from the tile on my left arm. Thank goodness no one saw me. All the kids were at lunch and the halls were clear. I can't even imagine how that would have gone over with a hallway full of elementary school kids. I did have to take a muscle relaxer and that was wonderful. I can honestly say I understand how people get addicted to those things. I slept like a rock.

Friday night my family came over for Taco night and then on Saturday morning Ellie and I headed to a Piggies and Paws Party. They make cool art work out of your child's prints. I can't wait to see the final results. What a great idea.. then later in the day I had 2 photo shoots! Here are 2 pics from baby Karly. She is only 2 1/2 weeks old. She looked older because she weighed 8 lbs at birth. I just LOVE the way these turned out:


I then took pics of a 14 month old.. I'll share a few of those later :)
School has been good.. just busy. Seems like summer goes by so fast and it takes nothing to fall right back into the regular schedule. Even all the kids seem to right back into the swing of things. Next weekend is labor day... woohoo I'll have Monday off!! Ok.. off to get Ellie in the bath! Everyone have a great week!

My weekend

Life continues to be crazy! I haven't had any time to scrap and/or design... sigh. This week I plan on locking myself in my room each night and get some stuff done! :)

Friday night was date night for Jeff and I. My mom kept Ellie for us. It was fun.. we headed out and ran some errands, hit the mall and then went to this great restaurant called Taneko. It was Japanese food and it was delicious! First of all, they bring you this rock that is 600 degrees.. and you grill your meat on it. Very cool! All of it was very yummy, including the great bottle of wine!

Then yesterday I headed out for my friend Sara's wedding shower. The theme was "Breakfast at Tiffany's" It was so cute! We were supposed to get all "dolled" up and wear dresses, pearls, hats.. etc. Everyone looked great! Here are some photos:

The Yummy little cakes!

The center pieces.. notice what's playing in the back :)

Sara, Stephanie, & Stacey.. aren't they cute!!

After the shower I went and took some photos.. adorable little kids, I'll have to post some later. I'm off to take more photos tonight too :) Off for now!

So things are much slower this week, although I'm working my little behind off!! Summer is officially over and now my cancels at work have slowed waaaaaay down. I actually saw all 8 kids yesterday and then today I saw 7 out of my 8. This is a good thing, but it definitely makes me tired when the day is done!

Tomorrow I'm off to the doctor to get an injection of cortisone into my left knee. Sounds fun huh??!! Actually, I'm glad they are doing it because I'm hoping to get a little relief in that knee. I'm sure my Baker's cyst is back and I really don't want it to pop again!

Check out this picture of Ellie running.. isn't it sweet?? I used Andi's lightroom preset: Rome. I love it!!


Ok off to watch Ghost Hunters :) I LOVE that show!!!

Crazy Week

This week has just flown by.. every night/day we had something going on. First of all, we started with play group, which was at my house one Monday and then my cousin Patty flew into town on Tuesday with her husband and girls, so we had lots of family time. On Tuesday we went over to my other cousin's house for dinner and swimming.. then we got caught in that huge rain storm!

Wednesday we went over to my Stepmother's house for dinner.. she made yummy lasagne (needless to say, diet is out the window still!) Then Thursday everyone headed over to our house for hamburgers and hotdogs. Then last night Ellie and I actually took it somewhat easy and then today it was over to my cousin's again for my 2nd cousin's 13th birthday! Phew... catch all that??? LOL

Anyway, I did snap lots of pics of my family! Here are the Coles:

The Kelly's:


Aren't they great looking families!!! It's been a fun week, but I'm pooped. Tonight I actually sat down on the couch for about an hour and read a magazine and watched some shark shows on discovery channel. It was nice to actually take a breather. I've had absolutely no mojo in the scrapping or designing area... scrapping gods, please touch me!!! LOL

Ok I'm rambling.... off to edit photos!
