Bad, bad blogger...

That is me...I win the bad blogger of the month award...SHEESH!! I have been busy though...my days have melded together into a blur of craziness...mostly just busy taking care of 3 kids (man they keep me busy) and doing things around our house...would you believe we've been here for almost 2 months now!?! My how time flies!! Here is a picture of Porter and Lily standing down near the front of the yard:

I took more pics, but that was a few weeks ago, and to look at them my yard looks completely different now that everything is grown in...I think I will take some different better pics!! Here are a couple I will show you though....here is one looking to the right of the house if you are facing the front:

(there is a big ol' dog run right there to the left and yes...we got a dog - *sigh*)

She's cute and she's a headache but she's here...for now....

This is the creek that runs along the front of the yard (we have to drive over it to get to my house) I love it!! :)

Looking down to the front of the house and driveway:

(The white blossoms are from one of my 4 dogwood trees growing my yard...they are my favorite blossoming trees...so pretty!!) Here is a close up:

**On a side note, you can't even see the road now that the trees and bushes are all grown in and I have a TON of honeysuckle bushes that have grown up all along the creek and all around the tree line...it smells divine when I go outside - especially in the evening...I LOVE MY HOUSE!!

In other news this handsome guy just graduated from Kindergarten....


Unfortunately he looked like this during the entire program:

(Sorry for the horrible picture!!) He so did not want to sing or dance or do anything all the other kids did...he has terrible stage fright!! I had to keep smiling and mouthing the words "Its OK!" to him or else he would have ran off the stage...poor thing!! I can't believe my he's done with Kindergarten!! I don't feel old enough... :) I was however, rewarded with him reading this whole book for me yesterday without any help:

I am so proud of him!!

This little guy sure does make me happy:

He smiles like this quite frequently....I love him so much!! He is such a good cuddler (almost too good since he prefers to be held) and I love seeing how he interacts with Porter and Lily now...he finds them hilarious...

Lily has been her usual self...spunky but sweet...I don't think I'd take her any other way...The other day she came running into the house crying and said that Porter wouldn't get off of her bike...I told her to ask him nicely and he would, and she said, "But Mom, I COMMANDED him to already and he still didn't do it!!" I thought that was a pretty big word for such a little girl...too funny! :)

In the crafty area of my life I have made a few things to show:

(these ones are made using the May kit from My Scrapbook Nook)



(Class can be found here)

I made this layout for a color challenge I made up for a contest over at The Nook:

I could have SWORN I had another layout and card to show but I guess I either didn't take a picture of them or can't find them...Hmmmm....I'll have to figure that one out I think!! P.S. the June kit is already up for sale over there and I personally can't wait to get mine...its the epitomy of gorgeous!! Just see:


They have a cool special going on right now if you order a subscription to the kit where if you order the 12 kits you get the 13th free...check it out!!

Ok, well its late and my bed is calling my name...can you hear it?? Until next time.... :)
