This about sums it up!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! We are off to Disneyworld!! 

Abandoned??

I feel like i've completely abandoned my blog.. but here I am to try to catch up :)

This week is Thanksgiving.. I love Thanksgiving, it's truly the only time it's ok to completely pig out and get stuffed. We are going to my family's restaraunt since it's closed. We are expecting about 26 people.. man my family is HUGE!

So I got some exciting news.. I've been asked to be on a creative team for Tania Cordova!! Her work is so great and I can't wait to create lots of goodies!! Here's her website:

Ellie is officially in a new car seat.. she out grew the old one. We took her to the doctor and she is in the 100%ile for height!!! I can't believe it. I know it didn't come from me, I'm only 5'3" on a good day and maybe 5'4" on a REALLY good day with heels :)

On Friday we are off to Disneyworld for a week!! I can't wait, though I'm nervous about spending 4 1/2 hours on a plane with a 6 month old.. please think good thougths for us :)

Ellie as a Sweet Pea for Halloween!!! 

Fall updates!

Wow time is flying by... Last night Jeff and I went to the Rob Thomas concert.. how I love his music. I have to admit I'm a bigger fan of Matchbox 20, but he's pretty good solo too. His voice is incredible and the concert was great. Only bad part.. it was at the state fair. That place is crazy. We only walked through the fair to get to the concert, but the "carny dust" was thick! LOL . Definately some crazy people watching.

I was sick as a dog this past week.. in fact I missed 2 days of work with some stupid head/chest cold. I did get to catch up on some needed sleep, so that was nice. Ellie spent most of the day with me on Wednesday and right before my very eyes she rolled over onto her back!!!! It was soo cute, the look on her face was of pure proudness and suprise!! I cheered so much that she looked at me as if I were nuts.

Halloween was fun.. we had a little party the day before and the kids were so cute. Ellie was a sweet pea. Sometimes she is so laid back. She wore that costume and just looked around at everyone.. it was great. Not too many trick-or-treaters this year, but definately more than last year. We have a ton of left over candy... ugh!!!

Weight Watchers was going great until this week, I swear we've eaten out almost daily. I'm afraid to go tomorrow.... but I'll suck it up and go. Motivation is what I need!

Mental block on the ole scrapbooking lately.. can't seem to get my creative juices flowing...

I figured it out!

Ok so I finally figured out my graphics... pheeeewwww only took me about a week. So up above is my pretty new little graphic. I'm sure I'll be changing it alot as I already have in the past day.

Nothing exciting at work today.... Nothing exciting to scrap....

OOOH but I did lose another 3 pounds this week!! Woohoo. Now I need to start working out, or at least start walking. The trouble with exercise is, who has the time? I already wake up at 6 a.m. and then I work until 5 come home get the baby to bed around 6 and then I crash!

This weekend is my spa day on Saturday :) Massage, Facial & Pedicure, I can't wait! Jeff and I are staying at the hotel Friday night and then Saturday is spa for me and golf for Jeff. I asked Jeff what time everything was on Saturday because what I am most excited for is the chance to sleep in. I have forgotten what it's like just to sleep a full night.

Blogged out!!

So all day.. and night I've been trying to customize my blog to put up some cool graphics.. not working out too well. I can get the graphic up, but then other title is still there, or I get it up and it's all over the blog... WHAT THE BLOG!!!

Guess I should study up on html... hmmmm there has to be an easier way.

Shopped again today.. for me!!! I found some shirts at Ann Taylor Loft (fitting into them again after baby) and some cool Goucho pants.. Hip I am now.. not LOL.

Ok off to bed, no scrapbooking pages done.. mental block.

I love Shopping!!

So Jeff's company sold and to celebrate we went on a little shopping spree at Nordstroms last night. It's funny, they sure treat you nice when spending alot of money. They don't treat you like that at Dillards :) It was fun and Jeff bought me an awesome Coach purse and the wristlet to match. I love it!!! I forgot how fun it is to shop.. seems like ever since I had Ellie I shop for her only.. kind of nice to get stuff for me again.

Jeff is in Vegas with the boys this weekend celebrating the company selling... I'm sure they will have a blast, in the mean time I'm gettting a little alone time. In fact today was all about Audra Day. I stayed home from work and got some stuff done around the house. First and foremost I took a 2 hour nap!!! I needed it and now I really do feel like a person again.

Knock on wood, Ellie has slept through the night the past 2 nights.. I can only wish for more sleepful nights for her and me :)

Scrapping: Hitting a stump.. haven't been to inspired the past couple of days, I'm going to try to get stuff done tonight... off to scrap.

Happy October!!! 

Here is the layout I did that was picked for the Digipick of the day!! Isn't she so cute??? 

I'm famous!!

Ok not really, but my scrapbooking page of Ellie in her high chair was picked as the digi page of the day today! The website is http://www.digipickoftheday.com I was so excited that I had to share the news with everyone.. you would have thought I won the lottery!!! The picture is above.

On a different note, I lost 3 lbs on my first week at WW. Yeah for me!!! Of course today I wasn't as good, but I'll definately have to get it together again. 7 weeks until our trip to Disneyworld!!!!!

Jeff's company is officially sold now to Primemedia! Here is the news about it: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/051011/115312.html?.v=1
Ok time to get off the computer... dragging myself.

Another week at the grind

HOLY COW!! I started at Weight Watchers again last night and I almost fell over when I weighed in.. I was so disgusted.. I guess that's why I went. :) Things have been crazy lately. I'm helping out in Wikenburg for some testing and that place is truly a one horse town. Stephanie and I went out for lunch and of course the only good place to eat was Dennys!!! As if that's a good place LOL. I'm still digital scrapbooking a ton.. I'm hooked.

Ellie is officially 5 months old.. can you believe it?? She is getting cuter by the day and I swear she has a sense of humor already. Her newest thing is to lay down, but not put her head down. She looks like she is doing pilates. At least one of us is working on our "core".

I took this nifty test today and here's the results:

Your 80s Heartthrob Is

Kirk Cameron

Who's" Your 80's Heartthrob?

Not really though.. I'm more of a Simon Lebonne (sp?) fan

Jeff's company will be officially sold on Friday. YIPEE!!!! I know he is really excited about it. They are planning a big trip to Vegas to celebrate without the wives. Hmmmmm sounds like trouble to me.

I need a girl's weekend too... or maybe just a day at the spa. Actually all I would really like is a full night's sleep.

Flagstaff with the girls!

This past Saturday I went to Flagstaff with the girls.. kind of a reunion/girl's night out. We had so much fun!! I swear I haven't laughed like that in so long. On a funny note, we went to NAU bookstore and then walked around the union for a few minutes, when Joanne said, "We really don't fit in here".. to which Kelli replied, "sure we do" we aren't that old...

So we are walking out of the union and to our car when a little blond girl (Paris Hilton wannabe) said to us, "Excuse me, is it Parent's weekend?", to which Kelli replied, "WHAT????" I swear we all opened our mouths and our jaws dropped.. talk about a huge ego bust... I think the girl knew we looked offended and said, "well not you guys, I've just seen so many adults here".... so what have I learned from this... I am officially and adult :)

But really it was such a great time.. I am blessed to have such wonderful friends!

Ellie on Saturday at a party 

My new Blog!

So the big rage is to have your own blog... so being that I don't want to be behind in the times, this is my new blog. Not really sure what to put in here yet, but at least I have one... I mean I'm hip now right?????

I'm completely addicted to digital scrapbooking .. in fact here is the link to my gallery: pages

Elyse is doing great.. she has her 2 bottom teeth now. She looks pretty dang cute if I don't say so myself.
