What we have been doing??

First of all... I need to know if all of you guys on my email list are getting spam email. I have a source (meagen) haha that is getting emails trying to sell her sex tapes I think she said, they are coming I am pretty sure just how these emails are coming. Please go to the blog and answer the poll at the right to let me know.. if you guys are then I might be changing the blog over.

Ok.. On to the rest of the our lives. Jaemen's Dad and I have been WORKING.. Of course it is Xmas season and we have been working our little tails off. Other then that though we have taken out some time for a little fun...

We went to the Piston vs. LA clippers game on Nov 27th after Thanksgiving..

We have decorated our tree and rearranged our living room even though.. now we are thinking we should have done it a different way and Sherrow has been thinking he wants to lift the tree up with bulbs and all.. I wont let him.

Then, we had Jaemen's 2nd Birthday party... And he had a ton of fun. Here is the cake that I made him

And a couple of the presents that he recieved...

Other than that I have been working on a few things including some scrapbooking pages and a recipe book that is neater then my own writing and if something spills or spashes on it.. it wont bleed!

Problem is I need a picture for it all... Ahh hopefully the next cake I am going to make for JJ's last birthday hurrah will turn out. I have been wanting to make this cake for a while NOW!!

Until next time,

Project 365... and a Scrapbook Page

Sept 2, 09 - The reason I can not get Jaemen to let go of the passie... Cause I am thinking we have probably taken out stock in Playtex. He finds them everywhere. But this is a common sight in our household one in his mouth and him playing with two-four others...

Sept 3

Sept 4thThen... I think I have fallen in love with 8.5 x 11 pages.. Which isnt cool since I just bought his 12 x12 album. But I think I am just going to inter-mix them since the smaller ones fit too.. Tell me what you think?? And dont you just miss that little face??

Until next time

Summer fun...

So we have been finally having summer weather here in good ol' Michigan and Jaemen has been loving it. He can finally play in all the water that he wants to. Every night when we come home he has gotten on his swimsuit and went right out to the pool... He loves playing in the hose and drinking all the water he can choke down.

Oh and as you can see one thing he loves to do is use his slid like a waterslide and he goes down feet first on his belly. He is nuts.

Other then playing in the pool last Sunday we took him to the Splash Pad in Grand Blanc and he LOVED that. Well at least until some big kid knocked him down and he took a pretty big knock to the head... THank god the ground was the real soft rubber flooring so he bounced but I am sure it hurt at least it looked like it hurt. After the fall, he got back out there but then he wanted us to go where ever he went so it was about time to go. He just drank all the water there too haha...

Here is a scrapbook page that I just threw together today after seeing a layout like it in a gallery that I look through almost daily. I loved it and it was for a mothers girl so I just knew I needed to make it for a "mama's boy" since everyone knows that is what my little man is.

Lastly, before I get out of here. I am sorry I have taken so long to get back about my medical scare. I am ok.... The doctor told me that it is due to the fact that my nerves run accross my body down my leg and are getting blocked by the scar tissue of my incision. Because of this the nerves are coiling around each other. There was a name for it but I cant find it online and dont know how to pronounce it... So anyways that is why there is a lot of pain since it is all nerve endings. Solution: I have to have steriod injections into the coil and hopefully this will reduce the pain and after a coupld injections do something to the nerves that I didnt understand haha... I was very relieved but the next day I was in about the same pain so I am upset that it didnt really work.

Well to end this, our lives are just consisting getting ready for Sherrow to leave on the 21st. And I think while daddy is gone we are going to switch Jaemen to a Big Boy bed... and start potty training... I was going to try and get rid of the pacifer but I think the two above things is enough for the little guy.. We will work on the pacifer later!!!

Until then

2 Posts in 1 Day...

Yes Sir!!! And guess what?? I decided to scrap someone else other then MY child!! Wow... I have been wanting to scrap some pictures of my nephews for a while and since Afton has not forwarded any pictures to me to date I will just use the pictures that I have. You have seen these pictures before but now they are scrapped.. I have a lot of digital pages to get printed off and I plan on getting to my Project 365 pretty soon too. So it looks like I need to pick up a special shift just to get my pages printed off haha. Anyways... I am tired as you can see from my rambling. So here they are.. I am thinking cute enough to get framed and put on the walls of their bedrooms!! Afton SEND ME PICTURES and you might get a whole scrapbook one day!!! Anyways thanks for looking...

Retweet..

Yes I am back again... but the designer I scrap for just got me another kit for the first time in a long time so I decided to get on it. This kit is perfect for little girls... Yes what I dont have. So I decided to use it for my preggo pictures. At this point I am deciding if I am going to keep all of my digital pages together in an album or mix them in with his baby book already made. Not sure yet??

Here is the kit... It is called Retweet and you can find it here at DigiRidoo Scraps

And here is the layout I made from the kit!!! Probably another one coming soon!!

Should be back tomorrow with an update for Project 365... Trying to get back on track.

Update (107/365)

WHERE DO I START??

Well lets start at some cool news!! I have been picked to design for a digital scrapbook designer. Now that I dont have school (well in a week) I will have time to do some of the things that I love. What this entails for me to do is turn in a layout per kit that she designs (will try to do at least two for her) and for me to post those layouts in the galleries that I already do post plus her store ahhscrap.com. You will see her blinkie to the right and below to go to her blog and see all of her designs. Felicia is a great designer so please go and check her out if you are interested. ****OK so I just want people to know that I didnt think my dad would want to go her store but I guess he is interested soooo click above DAD!! LOVE YOU!!****

But that is pretty exciting... So watch for some layouts to come!!!

Next, Jaemen going to the hospital. I am still getting asked what happened so I guess I will go through the whole 24 hours that we were in the hospital. Well it first started out that night after I put him to bed. But let me remind him that he was perfect ate a whole dinner and everything. At about 10 pm though I had a feeling something was wrong since he wasn't sleeping well at all. He was waking up about every 30 minutes... finally about 3 am I pulled him into our bed with us and he was crying like he was in pain and a little bit of agony. I thought maybe an ear infection so I gave him a little bit of Tylenol. Waited for that to work and 3o minutes later he was still crying and now screaming at times. I was getting pretty worried so I work Sherrow up and asked him if he had went to the bathroom that day and he said no. So now I am really thinking a belly ache plus now I can hear his little tummy bubbling. I finally get him to practically pass out with us at about 6:30. He woke up with me at 9 but still he was moaning and whining all the way through those three hours. At nine I got him some gas X for babies and then went to store for some Prune juice and left for work telling Sherrow to call me if he thinks it is getting worse. Sure enough like an hour into work he text me telling me he is really screaming and still hasnt even walked a step. (very unusual for our on the go little boy) So I called the doctor and they said get him to the ER now. So we get there and they were telling us it sounded like Appendicitis, which is completely scary. So they ordered labs, X-rays, and ultrasounds to check. As we were coming back from x-rays they were telling me the labs did not come back good and we met the pediatrician surgeon that was called in for my child. That is scary. And she felt him and told us she didnt think it was appendicitis but something was wrong still and it could be that his bowels were retracting into themselves causing a lot of irritation. So he got a barium ***enima*** (Sorry spell checker changed it he is not anemic, I have also linked it if you dont know what the poor little guy had to go through***where we good see all of his intestines and after this happened we were admitted for the night. It was so sad to see my little boy so out of it. But it was like something just clicked and he came back to life. We were so excited that he had stopped crying and it seemed like everything was better. So we were discharged the next day with the doctors not really knowing what happened because they didnt find anything during the anemia but they said that it might have not been happening at that time and the anemia fixed it. Whatever it was the anemia fixed it he might have just needed to be flushed out. He has been ordered to eat more fruit and veggies but that is pretty hard we have resorted back to baby food fruit cause he wont eat real fruit and he only eats peas. Oh and LOTS and LOTS of water. (which he gets a lot anyways so that didnt matter) So all in all he is fine and thanks to every one that gave him your prayers and to my dad and maryanne for bringing up the great calzone ever since I didnt get to eat until like 7 that night.

I have updated Shuttercal with pictures. Lately it has been getting pretty hard to find something to take a picture of but hopefully after this little last hump of school I will have time to actually think about it and get a little more creative. Because I have hit the 100th day of Project 365 and I think that is something that I have made it that far. Sherrow asked me the other day, "Have you been taking pictures everyday or have you fallen off?" I was like "Heck no!! I am on top of it!!"

On the school front, I have a final on Monday along with my poster presentation. I also have a paper due (which I knocked out today) and 3 lab report to wrap up on Sunday. Then just my final Analytical lab report for my mini project and I WILL BE DONE!! YEAHH!!!

At last, I am going to leave your with a picture of Sherrow at the casino with his winnings for his first time at the blackjack table. I didnt take my camera (i know, I know) but Sherrow wanted me to just leave it at home so I could just have fun and not worry about pictures. BUT I did was like oh man I wish I had my CAMERA!! So I just took pictures with my Camera phone like I did with Jaemen in the hospital.

My Projects!!!

I have been working on some projects and just thought I should show you two of them... With Sherrow being gone I really wanted to get a lot more done but I didnt get the frames up and I didnt get a washer/dryer but those will be happening very soon!! I have also had a little time to get some scrapping done in my NEW ROOM YEAH!! So there is also a picture of that too.. i want to get some cards done for some people here real soon too. So keep checking your mailbox to see if you are one of the lucky people. Eventually I will get one to everyone but I owe some people some thank yous!! Here are some pictures...

This is going to soon have a king size bed under it and actually matching bedspread but I havent done everything cause we are trying to get a new bed!!

Guess who is on the MOVE...

You guessed it!! Our little Jaemen... He was out in the living room and officially made it to the kitchen with me! It is time child Proof my house! I have a lot of the plugs already child proofed but everything else needs to be. And with me doing new projects everyday, it is hard to keep in closed when you dont have a door on the craft room. Err.. Right now I am...

1.) Painting My ScrapRoom,

2.)Painting the shelves that are going in there,

3.)doing a design for above the bed

of course mine is going to be on my white wall. I cant wait to see how this is going to turn out. I will post the pictures later!! This is going to go right above the bed so of course no table or anything but I do think I am going to do some of the daisies for my scrap room I think that will be cute!!

Anyways.. Back to Jaemen... He really isnt "crawling crawling" he is doing it his own little way. He get almost into the stance to crawl but still has his leg under him and then just scoots along on that leg. It is so cute! It takes him a minute but if he wants something he is going to get it!!

That is about it for right now... I will post more later with update pictures of the scraproom and or our bedroom!! Love everyone!!!

New Beginnings on our horizons...

Yes we might be moving again.. (actually we will be moving no matter what just might not be this house) I know we just moved last year but we are having some problems with this house and need to get out of here for the baby. We have found a house that we really really like. Has everything that we want... fenced in yard... dishwasher... basement.. 3 bedrooms.... a room for me to scrap... oh and this one has a WALK IN CLOSET. Even though it is looking like we arent geting that room if we do get the house. THere are a lot of other people interested so we will know by the end of the day!!! PRAY FOR US!! We really want it!! We just are trying not to get to excited about it!



Got another scrapbook page done last night.. I am actually feeling good that I am getting stuff done!! That is like 3 pages in 2-3 weeks when I dont usually get one done in like 6 months.. Ahh I have also done 4 cards. Cant show you the last one because it is for someone that reads the blog. They will get it on Sunday!!! I really wasnt happy with the page but I am getting some good feedback from my websites on it!! So I guess I will get over it!!

Scrapbook Page Done

Jaemen's Baby Album!!

I am soo excited to get going on this! I started on his 8x8 but I have this beautiful album for his first year (baby) album!! Well on one of my scrapbooking websites, Twopeasinabucket.com, they started an online class called 12 weeks to a babys first year. Just like what it sounds it is a 12 week class that is going to walk you through all the milestones, title page and a bunch of other stuff to get you through that daughting task of your babies first year album since all new moms are so busy!! I love the idea and it is coming at a great time when school isnt so demanding!! So here is my first page done his title page, soooo excited!! This is him at two days old, hasn't he changed so much it doesnt even look like him anymore!! WOW!!

Update...

So everyone is ok! Afton is doing good she is having a small procedure done today but she is ok. Babies are improving with the days. Afton has been able to hold David but not Dylan yet because he still isnt having great respiratory improvement but he is getting better. Afton should be coming out of the hospital soon, not sure though if they are going to have her stay because of this procedure they have done today. Babies wont be out though until the middle of next week hopefully that is the earliest though.

As for us, all of us are coming down with a little something. I have a little cough but mainly sore throat. Sherrow hasnt been feeling like himself lately. And the little peanut wakes up with a little conjested cough!! So cute but then I dont like it at all! Busy week though with going up to the hospital almost everyday and all of that stuff so we are getting a little ran down. I think it might be the weather change, since one day it will be like 40 and the next it is sub zero out again.

I have no pictures.. I KNOW I cant believe it either but I still havent even seen the babies in real life just pictures that others have taken and I have been so busy we havent gotten any of JJ either!! BUT, BUT I do have a digital scrapbook page for you!!! Always have something hehe!!! Talk to everyone later enjoy!!!
