a little of what we've been up to...

we've had an eventful several days here.  thought i'd share...

Thursday we celebrated this guys 9th birthday

by watching him & his team play in the last game of a ball tournament.  Evan was over the top excited to be able to play baseball on his birthday... I don't think he would've wanted to be anywhere else!  & guess what?

they played an AWESOME game, won 3rd place in the tournament {Evan's birthday wish}... they were sooo excited!  I'm so happy for them... they are a great bunch of kids!

silly boys!  {group photos by Kathie Brune}

my parents were camping out in our "campground" for about a week... we love when they come to stay!  I think the kids talked them into campfires about every night... complete with smores! 

playing with pet sticks? well, whatever keeps her busy.. & happy :)

our 17th anniversary was Saturday... we started the morning off with a short, but hot & hilly 2 mile run up & down our road.

love this guy with all my heart :)

& then we had a birthday party for Evan in the afternoon.  Lots of fun :)

So that's a quick recap... hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Nine years ago today, Dan & I were "out on the town" trying to fit in an anniversary brunch, a little shopping & just some time alone while my mom & dad watched our oldest Collin.  The next morning, I was scheduled for a c-section, so obviously I'd be in the hospital over our anniversary on the 2nd.  Well, all through brunch, shopping & after getting home, what do you know, but I was having contractions the entire time.  I thought for sure he could wait just a little longer, but the nurse said I better come in.  Our doctor decided, well since we had already drove there & most everyone else needed was there, they'd go ahead & deliver him that night.  So just a short while later... we had a June baby, instead of another July baby.  Our little white haired, ducky fuzz headed guy Evan.  He's has been such a great kid... although ornery for sure, he has a sweet way about him, a soft heart, quick witted & a determined spirit.  It's been amazing watching him grow into a rambunctious toddler who was up & running at 9 months to a fairly calm, quiet kid.  Evans current love is baseball... in fact he plays his last game of the season tonight!  His birthday wish is for his team to win & get 3rd place in the tournament :)  So, for his birthday, we'll be at the ball field of course, but it seems just right... & he'll love every minute of it I'm sure!  We love you Evan!

new releases 6.23

I'm back to show you what kits I have releasing today...

LOVE the colors in this kit... it was fun to put together & thanks to Shannon Dombkowski {DHD decorator} for the suggestion of the color palette!  I based the colors off a picture she sent me of her daughter, Madison's dress... hence the kit name :)  so.very.cute!  Thanks again Shannon!

layout by {allison}.  once again love what she's done with the kit... especially how she's taken a pretty girly kit & created a page that's perfectly boyish.

layout by {shelley}. amazing photos of this little cutie & I love how she's integrated so many different elements!

If you want to see more inspiration with the Madison papers check out the DHD blog soon!

& just a kit of some hand-drawn alphas/numbers to use :)

layout by {me}. here I used the Madison kit & used the Long Alpha in the title. I clipped the purple solid paper in the letters & used the multiply blending mode so it kinda looks like marker on paper. 

ok... as always 30% off new releases for today... but here's what's coming up this weekend for you:

YAY! enjoy! {robyn}
