A Conversation with Briana......

Scene: Briana playing with some plastic Easter eggs and putting some little plastic baby chick inside.

Briana comes running into the office, where I am working.

Briana: Mommy we need to go find Baltimore (our big fat male cat) right away!!!

Mommy: Why?

Briana: because Balty does not have a baby and I need to give him this egg so he can hatch his little baby and he won't be alone anymore.

Mommy: Laughing her ass off trying to explain to her 3 yr old that our fat male cat or any cat does not hatch eggs.

Briana: But, Mommy he needs to have a baby!

A Day At the Museum

What a great day we had today. Briana has been wanting to go see Dinosaurs for weeks, I have no idea where she got that idea. So, George decided to take her to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. She was so excited, George has bought her a Dinosaur book on Thursday and she would carry it everywhere and even slept with it......LOL! I couldn't remember going here when I was a little girl, but my brother says we have been there many times, he has such a good memory, sad that we are only 11 months apart and he remembers so many things that I don't.

Anyhow, here is some pictures I took yesterday, I have a lot more but they need to be edited.....badly! Lighting in museums are so terrible and of course there are always people in the way, especially when they see you trying to take a picture of something of someone....no courtesy.


This is the entrance to the museum.

This is at the entrance near the sidewalk.

Briana digging for fossils. She had so much fun, this is all she wanted to do all day.

The dinosaurs you first see when entering the museum. Briana was so scared of them, she just wanted me or her dad to hold her and she kept saying how scary and really really big they are. It was so funny. Finally after 20 mins later she would walk around them, but she would not pose next to them for me.

Hope you enjoyed the bad pictures.....LOL!

Working Working Day and Night

Well, Hello! Everyone. Not much has been going on these past few days. Just got real busy with work, which is a good thing. I have no idea what has happened, but boy it feels good to busy. We have not been this busy in a very long time. I hope this means things will get better with us and the world.

Also, still unpacking and trying to get the house organized, especially the garage, dying to park the cars inside their.

Anyway. Hope all is well with everyone. Will be back real soon.

Thank you for stopping by. {HUGS}

I Finally Scraped!!!

Whew! Finally was able to do some scrapbooking this week, not much but some. It felt good. Its such a stress reliever for me and I love looking at all the pictures I have old and new. When we moved George found a box of his old pictures. Pictures of him and his band performing and some High School pictures, so fun to see these.

Anyways here is one of the creations I've done. This one I entered it for a Manufacture Challenge at Scrapfreak. This month we had to use Bella Blvd Collections. Wish Me Luck.

The picture is George and I dancing at our friends Anniversary Party in February. Love how this picture came out.

Happy Birthday, George!!!

Today, he turned 45, so he decided this morning, that he wanted to have a Hugh Hefner day. He lounged around in his pj's all day and did nothing, but watch the news and played a little computer war games online with his friends. He ignored the pile of work he had to do and did not answer his clients when he called. I took care of them. :D

Briana and I got him a chocolate cake and a balloon for tonight. She gave him a bag of M&M's (I kept asking her what she wanted to buy him for his present and this is what she wanted to give him.....its his favorite....actually any chocolate is his favorite....LOL!) I cooked a nice dinner and had some wine with him. Tried to have a little bit of a romantic dinner, as romantic you can get with a 3 year old...LOL! I think he still had a great time.

Love you Honey.

It's March Already!!

Can't believe it's March already!....this year is just flying.

Not much has been going on with us. Just trying not to live in boxes. The new place is looking more like a home than a house, which is really good. Briana has adjusted well, better than I expected. She has been sleeping in her own bed and loves playing outside everyday. This is something she did not do at the other house, she never wanted to go ride her bike in the backyard or front yard, here she rides all the time.

Don't really have lots to share,I have not really scrapped I think its been 2 months. Really itching to start, hopefully this week. Here are a few things going around this month with the scrappy sites I visit.

I'm PLAYING along this month at the Birthday Crop at SD4U
Come join the MONTH long party!! Great challenges, and prizes and great kits!

and Scrapfreak is turning 2 this month. Awesome place, lots of fun ladies. Come join us at their Birthday Bash, it will be lots of fun. Make sure you tell them Yvette (Yvie) sent you.





And in other news. I tried out for the Citrus Tree Studio design team, first time I try out for the design team. Yesterday, they made the annoucement of the new Design team, I did not make the team. Really did not expect too, but I did get asked to be one of their Guest Designers for the Spring/Summer `09 term, probably for the month of September, will have to see once the month gets closer. Cindy has really great kits and awesome prices for them too. This months kit looks so yummy, can't wait to get my hands on them. I don't have any of the Marks Paper Company or any S.E.I collections and looks so yummy!!!


Heres a sneak peak of the kit. Goes on Thursday, March 5th.

Well, that is it for now. Thanks for stopping by. {HUGS}

Finally.......The Move Is Over

We moved on Thursday and turned over the keys to the old house on Sunday. Wow! What a move....we had a 26 ft moving van and took 2 loads to get almost everything out from the house. Remember now, we also had to move our office and the house was 3200 +/- square feet, so we had a lot of stuff to move. I am glad I had already went through and de-cluttered a lot of stuff and still need to do some more.

Overall the move went well, we had people, family and friends help us. Only a little scratches here and there, nothing major and nothing broke. Well, I broke a mug....LOL! The weather was in our favor, was raining like crazy all week, stopped on Thursday and began to rain again on Friday. Someone must love us.

Now the fun part begins, the unpacking and reorganizing part. As of today, the office is fully operating, the kitchen and Brianas room are some what organized. TV are fully functioning (very important...:D ). Still living out of boxes till I can get things to where I want them.

Well, just a little update for everyone. I will be back in a few days with pictures....got to find the camera and install my printer so I can upload the pictures.

Thanks for stopping by {HUGS}
