What a Beautiful Sunday

Love lazy Sundays. Not much happening with us, just lots of work has come in so we've been pretty busy. I did manage to get a layout done today for a challenge at SD4U. Briana and I had a pedicure this afternoon and then we are off to my brothers house for some BBQ and family fun time. Its going to be fun, its beautiful outside, 95 and very windy. You really do not feel the heat that much with this wind....LOL! George is already complaining that its going to be murder in the summer here. We shall see. He is such a baby. He hates the heat and I love it. :D





Here is the layout I did today. The colors are so off, scanner hates pink for some reason. I will need to re-do it tomorrow.

This is our Briana, the dancing queen. She loves it when I put music on, she especially loves Rhianna's Disturbia song.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Easter!!

I hope you and yours have a wonderful Easter weekend.

New Sofas for us.

Today we bought a new sofa and love seat for the family room. We so needed them. I love the old ones, but they are worn out after almost 13 years. The old sofa was the first purchase we made when we got married. They have been through a lot with us.....6 moves, a crazy cat, sickie's and dirty hands from babies and toddlers......LOL! It was time to say good-bye.

Anyways, the new sofas will be delivered on Tuesday, can't wait. Here are some Internet pictures I found. The colors here look a little bit lighter than in real life, but it does state the color we choose, the Cocoa color. Now I am wondering how it will look....darker or lighter. Ugh, I hate showroom lighting.

Doesn't it look comfy? We wanted something we can rest comfortably while watching television, it is after all for the family room.

This one is the sofa.

This one is the love seat.

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.
