Moment with Piper

Another one of Carols backgrounds. Piper having a quiet moment up the tree lol...we got such beautiful photos yesterday, course Kelli has the better camera and they were truly awesome. My little Kodak caught some good stuff too, and this is one of them. The girls had so much fun in the leaves, Doug piled them high and let them just have a great time!!! The look on his face while they were having so much fun.. What a great daddy he is. Kelli was snapping away with her camera..sigh...some day I will have that good camera lol...I hope you enjoy my little tree hugger..

I Love This Kid

First of all I want to thank Carol aka Angelscrapper for this kit,it is hand painted and drawn I believe.. It fit the photo perfectly. Bob and Miss Baby Dumpling..I love the photos like this, a half photo so to speak. It speaks volumes to me..God I love Digital!!!

My Guys, My Michael, how sweet he is. My Bob, is losing so much weight, but I can see the age on him now. He turned 70 on the Nov 1st.. I had a scare with him a couple of weeks ago. He forgot one whole day..Simply did not remember what went on the whole day. After talking to him for about an hour and a half,it came back to him..Yep, call to the Dr and he could not find anything that would have caused it. He checked him out,and he has a physical scheduled in Dec. It was scary, my mind went wild thinking all kinds of things. He is the strong one, he makes things go around here..For 45 years I have loved this man,I can not imagine anything without him. I caught a glimpse of that for a moment..He seems fine now. This was taken in Kelli's back yard yesterday. My two men..thanks for looking in........

For Maria

For Maria...for being so brave, and good and for being my friend..For being so strong for Nick. You are an example to so many. I ask again for all who come here to pray for Maria. She has incurable cancer. I have never in all my life seen anyone cope with what she has been handed the way she copes with it. I wish I could be that brave about many things in my life. I love you Maria..God Bless you...

Summer memories

I love my flower photos, I miss going to the park now...no more flowers there..and this knee is not what it should be and walking a lot still hurts.. a lot.. It is all I can do to chase after the little girls and baby dumpling...wow is she a hand full right now. Not walking yet, but she will be any time now..she is now 18 lbs and 9 mos old. Thanks for looking in on my passion..and I have to say this..God Bless our military and God Bless the families at Ft. Hood, my heart is broken over what happened there. God Bless President Bush for going there today..

Me and Brigette Ann

Using Sooze's new kit once again, Time for Tea..this is our self portrait..baby dumpling was supposed to be in this with us, but she would not cooperate to sit still. She just spit up all over us. The word art is once again by Miss Linda of random thoughts. I love what she does with her word art..thanks for looking in..

Time for Tea

A beautiful kit by Scrappin and stuff with Sooze. The flower is one I photographed and edited. Miss Brigette, inviting you to tea!! thanks for looking in

everything about you

My Brigette Ann...God how I love this little kid! This was taken this summer . I have been absent from my blog since Halloween..it has been so busy here, those three little girls just keep me so busy and I have not felt very well the last couple of days. I think a touch of a stomach virus has me. I am not too far from home..we went to breakfast with my cousins today and we had to make a stop on the way home...I knew I was in trouble then..but we made it home and I have not done a lot, but lay around. Then my mouse is having a breakdown I think..Sometimes it freezes , and I have no clue why, I have changed the battery a lot..I am not sure what is going on with it. It happens at the darnedest times. Like when I am trying to play Wizard 101 and a big bad creature is trying to kill me dead lol... anyway, a blog that I love to read, is Farm living is the life for me by Lori Howerter..I just love reading her blog, a whole new way of living for Lori and she makes it so interesting..I am sorry to my friends that I have not been to visit your blogs. I will try to do better..word art by Random Thoughts..kit was a freebie, several freebies..love to all who come here, Judy

Happy Boo to YOU

Here is our little baby hot dog with her mustard and ketchup, her Nona Pat, and our friend Nick. Wow they looked so awesome! Baby's first Halloween and she was an angel..the girls loved having Nick help them with their trick or treating, I know I had over 400 kids here tonight..MY GOSH..it was like a steady stream..Of course none of them lived in this neighborhood, but I saw some funny things. I had to alter the ketchup and Mustard costumes for the girls, and spent last evening sewing them .. they were adult sizes.. Our dear Nona...every year she dresses up..I had a big ole pot of spaghetti and meatballs for dinner,oh it was good..then on to handing out the candy..I did better this year..I didn't eat it all up lol...Thanks for looking in. The kit was a freebie that I found on the digi Free..

This is our Carrie (now Karii) and yes that is a tatoo on her chest..I don't have a clue why lol..She is a wonderful young lady, she is a United States Marine, and I am proud of her.I found this on her facebook profile and decided to do something with the photo that was taken with a webcam. Thanks for looking in and the wordart is by Random Thoughts.The words around the frame are from a song she likes by Incubus. If you enlarge it you can read them

Playing outside

They are on the slide,it was one day that was so nice out, so sunshiny out, I didn't want to call them inside for their baths. When Mommy works late, we feed and bathe the kids before we send them home. Makes for a long long day sometimes, but we love being able to have them here and take care of them. Oh the stories I could tell..I should write it all down and write a book lol...But they will have the memories of being here and all the fun. Yesterday it rained all darn day..I hate rain..I really do! So after Pipey got home from school, everyone was in the mood for some reading, so we went through all the books, and picked out a ton of them and we read..Piper is reading very well also now..I remember kindergarten... we took naps..lol, she is counting and reading..It is fun to listen to her sound out the words and then see the look on her face when she can figure it out. Mike is going to the art museum today, so gotta get him up and get him going and I...have to clean...ugggg...have a happy day everyone who visits here..I love ya all...

In the blink of an eye

Our little angel face...here she is in her leotard and swirly skirt before going to lessons on Sun...Sunday...yep, they had a camp so they call it. She seems to be loving it...at least I hope she is, cause it is a lot of time. With Mommy and Daddy's schedule, I try to pick up what I can to help them. It has been very very busy here, and I have not had a lot of computer time..Baby dumpling, trys to eat my printer, so I have to stay out of the kitchen where my computer is, when she goes roaming around and the kitchen seems to be her favorite hang out. The word art is by Linda of Random thoughts. Miss Linda...thank you so much for your email the other day..I can not tell you how off the wall our emotions are here. It touches me deeply that you care..Thanks for looking in on our Ballerina. Love to all...Judy

Just hand it over

She almost looks like Raggedy Ann lol..We put the wig and hat on her and wa la this is it..She is getting to be quite the little character.. word art by Random thoughts, background was a freebie. Thanks for looking in..It is another cold dreary looking day. Only going to get up to 50. Hubby got up this morning and straightened up the house, all I gotta do now is vacuum and scrub..I so hope the sun does pop out for a bit at least. I am getting fixated on the weather, I am a sun person, I need it..Love to you all and have a great weekend...

My wish for you

Look how big our baby is getting. I can not believe this is our tiny teeny little girl of a few months ago..She eats like a little pig now!! She is drinking out of her sippy now and you better not get in her way with it either..She will grab it from you if you do. She is such a little personality..And now wants to get into what ever her sisters are playing or doing..much to their delight or their dismay, depending on their mood. All that I used are freebies from the digi free..thanks for looking in on what I love to do..I used two photos of baby girl and transposed one on top of the other. One was black and white with other effects and one was the regular photo..

Just because it's autumn

Our beautiful Pipey...she had such a great time with PAPA at her field trip. He had a great time. I used several different kits here, the main one was retro spring.. I wanted some color and some flowers and some brightness on this little angels page..Thanks for looking in...

All the world loves a clown

Miss Brigette Ann wearing Michaels clown hair and hat that he got for his Halloween Dance..If I put the jacket on her she would have been lost in it..Things are moving right along in our house..Busy with the little girls and missing Bay..we don't hear from him, but I know we will..we will go on with our daily life, busy with miss Baby,she is just too funny now. The girls played so well together today,I think Brigette was so happy to have Piper home the last two days. She gets so lonesome for her. I think Pipey enjoyed being out of school. Nona came to visit and we took the big girls to lunch while Miss Baby took a much needed nap..She had slept for about 30 seconds this morning and I think her crankiness was cutting her top teeth..She is saying no now...it comes out like MO lol...It is still raining and dark and dreary and I WANT THE SUN..I know we will all feel better if we have the sun..and Bailey..if you come in here or if Daddy comes in here...we love you, and we miss you.
The girls are looking forward to Halloween, they are going to be so cute..wait till you see..Our friend Maria's son Nick is going to go out with them and they are so excited..They are crazy about him..Of course Mommy and Daddy are with them too I think Daddy will be the clown..lol...this I gotta see..I want to thank everyone of my friends who have been worried about all of us..we are going to be fine. And I thank you all for the calls, the emails and the messages left on here..I LOVE you all..I truly do. ....Judy

Little Buckeyes

Our sweet little girls in their new hat that mommy got at the OSU game on Sat.. I have neglected my blog..I am sorry, my heart is just not in it right now. We are still reeling over Bay leaving to live with his Dad..I guess it would not be so bad, but it is the way he did it that stings to the soul. Mommy is in a very fragile state right now..and I am talking and talking to her to keep her up and not down in a depression. But I think I have lost. But I will not give up. Hang in there sweet girl, he will come around .When you are 13 almost 14, you think you know everything and you think you can be independent and do what you want, not thinking that your parents are responsible for the very air you breath.. ahhhh settle down life...I want some sunshine, I want rainbows...isn't there anyone out there that can do that...I laughed this morning..I woke up, and it was dark, and dreary and rainy looking, I looked at Bob and said, is it going to be like this again today...he said , Yep, I said...fix it Bob, you are supposed to fix everything, so fix this!. you all have a better day than I am having..I do love my blog and will try to be better about it...

Give me a minute

Mommy and Brigette worked on this page together. I think if Mommy had more time, she would get back into this.Thanks for looking in...

But I did

Happy Birthday Aunt Grace from your little namesake. She came in the door yesterday morning looking like this little imp with a secret lol..God is she cute or what..The house is quiet..I keep listening for some sounds, but I hear none..they have all gone home...shhhhhhh........ Mike is drying the dishes(no I don't have a dishwasher!) I wash, he dries. He helped me run the vacuum, he has one, and I have that great one that sucks up the carpet!! I love it.. His bedroom looks great, Kelli and Doug painted it and he got new bedspread and curtains and it is two tones of green and so pretty. Cleaned a lot of stuff out of that room..Mike likes to stack and pile stuff up. It is all gone now.. next is the hall and the living room. Hope to get that done before Bob's birthday. Want to have some cake and ice cream to celebrate his 70Th birthday. He does not want a big deal, and that is fine with me. We do so much at Kelli's house, this time we will celebrate here. So Grace, I hope you have a great birthday..we love you so much! Thanks for looking in on my little corner of the world...

Brigette's New Hat

Miss Brigette got a new hat this week. Now you know our kids love their hats, and wear one about all the time. Things are starting to settle down a little here..at least no one is sick right now..Papa is going to go with piper on a field trip next week..What a great papa he is..He went with Bay for several days to the 5th grade camp a few years back.. he is amazing. He never says no..he is going to be 70 the first of Nov, but the way he cares for these girls, you would never know it..My goodness, he does everything for those girls. I would be lost with out this man. the background is from Scrappin and stuff with Sooze kit My boy, the rest are various freebies that I found on the Digi Free. I love all these designers..they do such a great job and are so generous with their work..I just wish I would write down all the info when I do a page, but I don't then I forget what I used...Sorry ladies, but I love you all...thanks for looking in..Didn't Miss Linda(Random Thoughts) do a beautiful job on my blog..I do not know what I would do without her!

I am spoiled

Our little princess is not feeling very well today. She has cried a lot. We can find nothing wrong that we can see..Maybe her teeth??? I have her settled now..for a while anyway. Took the girls to their dance classes for mommy. She did not get out of work until almost 7 tonight. It makes it so hard on her and the kids. She has to be at work so early tomorrow but does get off earlier..YEA Mommy!! So the munchkins are spending the night and papa will take Pipey to school in the morning..I am tired and need to go to bed while baby princess is sleeping..So I think I will..I love you all....

eyes of a dreamer

Mommy was visiting on Sat and sat down at my computer and started experimenting with the scrapbook factory and going through my stash of kits. She did this page of Bridgey on her first day of pre-school. I wish she had more time to do this, but with being mommy and working so many hours it is difficult. She is Mommyx3 on Scrapbook Flair, course now is it 4,with baby Gracie. It has been difficult here the last couple of weeks. Bailey has decided that he wants to live with his Dad, so we are very sad he is not with us. IT has been very hard on Kelli. I think it would be fair to say that her heart is broken....yep that would be how I would describe it. It will get better Kelli, just hang in there with him. I know how much you love him, and at 13 almost 14 he does not think of that. He left one set of rules for another set and he does not realize that yet. This flu I had a few weeks ago came back and bit me again. Coughing all weekend long and feeling so lousy...I took the good cough med last night and did sleep finally..You all have a great day..thanks for looking in..

bestest friends award from digi fiddle

I tried everyway I could to save this on the side of the blog with the other awards but for some reason it would not. Thank you so much DigiFiddle..See, you never know whos looking and it may be YOU the next time..

She is just so darn cute!!! She is cuddling with Brigette's purple kitty..and believe me when I say..it didn't stay that way for long once Miss B caught on. we have two new teeth and we are letting go when we stand now..I just know within a month she will be walking..When I see her with the arms up, I know it will be time.. Gosh she is just so cute!

Miss Gracies eyes

I know the word art is by Helly, I used several things from several kits on this all freebies. I thank all of you wonderful designers who do this..WOW I wish I had the know how and the patience to do what you do. Miss Gracie's beautiful eyes,One of my fave things to do is make the eyes just sparkle..I love it..Thanks for looking in.

Little brown eyed Girl

Miss Gracie Jayne..lol..what a photo and I was not going to discard it, with digital all things are possible, and I made it so! she is pulling herself up on my legs and I just had to do it..The kit is by Cuddlebeeze..one of thirty that she gave away on her blog. Thanks for looking in on our Brown Eyed Girl...

a photo that I edited in PSE-7, I wanted to give it a magical feel. She is feeding the Duckies and the geese Cheerios's.. and they got so excited that they started after her and she hid behind me...thanks a lot Miss Bridgey, I had to run for cover lol..no seriously, she is afraid of loud noises, music and honking geese..it was raining so we didn't get to stay a long time.. It is still rainy and miserable here, truly it is fall!!! Mikes room is being painted,everything is out of kilter here, he is sleeping in the spare bedroom and it is not to his liking..I love you Mr. Mike, you love things to be consistent and everything is upside down right now.. The living room and hall are next...omg, when will I get my house back in order! Thanks for looking in. The kit was a freebie and I did no write anything down..

Bestest friends

I made this page of Gracie and Bridgey with this gorgeous colab kit called Daydream Believer. they are watching Baby Einstein..lol, and believe me this is not Bridgey hugging Miss Gracie..She wants her out of her way so she can watch..Miss Gracie Jayne(my nickname for her) is struggling ever so furiously to get in Brigette's way. I uploaded this to Scrapbook Flair and got a message that it had been chosen for an award on this site http://digifiddle-designs.wernddofn.co.uk/index.html. I was so honored. It was explained to me that they check out all the scrapping sites and pick one. I think , but am not sure it is for the week, maybe..but I was so tickled. I have won Scrapbook of the week several times on Scrapbook Flair, and even won some challenges and won a gift certificate to Scrapbooks please with a page. But this is not related to Scrapbook Flair, it is a random choosing..makes it all the more precious to me..So thank you digifiddle for this award. When I know what it is, I will let you all know..Thanks for looking in on my tag team wrestlers!!

capture the moment

Miss B and the purple Bunny..now it is replaced by the purple Kitty..as long as it is purple that is all she cares about..They spent the night last night.. Piper has decided that she does not like school anymore because she misses out on all the fun stuff here...little does she know...it is funner where she is lol...Piper made the Ballet Company at her dance school. She has only had two lessons, she has not a clue what a workshop and an audition was..but she went in there and did it..It will entail another class so I will be busy doing that for Kelli whose hours just suck right now. Bridgey loves her class too...Thanks for looking in...

That Grin

I have probably used this photo before, but I love that I could put something in her hand..Oh well, I have been neglectful..Sometimes family life just gets in the way of ordinary things..Some situations so sad,that you can not focus on anything else. I can not go into this any further right now...Kelli and Doug painted today, Mikes bedroom is a beautiful green..I will get used to it I know...I am not so much into the darker colors, but when it is all put together, it will be beautiful. The word art is by Random thoughts by Linda..Thank you my friend, I love all your work...
