New Look!

I played around and gave my blog a new look. I love the new colors, a lot more cheerful! Still need to add some more friends and more links.

Our Weekend

Well , not much to report so I will bore you all with our week-end......LOL!


Saturday

George had some inspections to do and we had some showings in the afternoon. So I just mostly cleaned and made sure everything was in order and presentable. Later on, we took Briana to the park, we were there for about 2 hours and she still did not want to come home. She made some new friends, she is so friendly and just having too much fun with the other kids, so we stayed a little bit longer and had some ice cream.



In the evening, my neighbor came by with 3 bags full of clothes for Briana. Briana is set for the rest of the summer, fall and winter!!! I was so shocked and grateful at all the clothes she gave us.




Sunday

We just stayed home and filled up Briana's pool, she had lots of fun playing and splashing everywhere, while George and I just read and soaked up some sun....LOL! We later had some pizza for lunch and watched a movie and finished up some paperwork.

That was our week-end very relaxing and no scrapping.

3 Years Ago

3 Years ago today, George and I held a beautiful tiny red-faced screaming baby girl. Today, this tiny red-faced baby girl turns 3 years old.

Happy Birthday, Briana!!!

My Splash Layout

I made this layout last week for a Freaky Friday Challenge over at Scrapfreak. Jessica, asked me if I wanted to come up with a challenge for this month. I agreed, and came up with this challenge.

My challenge for the members was...

1. Create a summer fun layout

2. Use a minimum of 2 photos

3. For the title - use a minimum of 4 different fonts (you may use rub-ons, stickers, chipboard, etc).

I got to tell you, I came up with this challenge, not knowing how hard it was going to be for me to come up with my different fonts...My challenge was a challenge for me......LOL! But over all, I loved the way my layout came out, it's one of my favorites. I just can not believe this is my little girl last summer. She just loved her pool!

Thanks Jess, for letting me come up with a challenge for this month. It was fun!

Also, I also wanted to let you know, that this layout was picked today as "Layout of the Week" over at Scrapbook Deals 4 U by Amy Birch, she is one of the very talented Design Members there.

Thank you Amy for making my day.

That is it for now. Thanks for stopping by {HUGS}

Our Fathers Day

Well, I was a good wife and let George sleep in til 10am. Tell you, it was hard to do, Briana kept wanting to go wake him up, she usually does when she wakes up at 7am. We had a special breakfast, his favorite-Pancakes. I was coaching Briana to say "Happy Fathers Day, Daddy" all morning. That went real good, I was surprised, she kept telling me that she was going to tell him "Happy Birthday, Daddy!", but when he woke up, she told him Happy Fathers Day, Daddy! and gave him a big hug, kiss, and his card. Yup, she sure is a daddy's girl!. I did this card for him, but had Briana sign her name (with my help) and I put in a daughter to father poem inside. He loved it.

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA for Fathers Day. We had such a great time. Briana was so in awe with everything she saw and she loved watching the Seals, she kept wanting to go see them. So most of the time we were watching the seals, they were so playful. After the Aquarium closed, we walked around the Harbor and headed home, that was not easy, Briana started to cry and scream all the way to the car, she wanted to go back and see the fishes and the seals, trying to explain to a 2 year old that the aquarium closed and we are not able to go back was not easy. She finally calmed down and as soon as we left the parking structure she was fast asleep. Poor girl was wiped out! LOL!

Here are some pictures from our day.

a) George and Briana looking at some fishes.

b) Brianas favorite exhibit-the seals

c) Briana petting a baby shark-was surprised she was not afraid.

d) George & Briana watching the two divers feed all those fishes.

***I took these pictures with the Sony A200, I need to get used to it.
