Well, I got my signed David Bowman print {"Innocence"} in the mail TODAY!!!! Yippeeee!!
Thank you, David. It's even more BEAUTIFUL in person!!!
Today I had lunch at Subway {grabbed a turkey sub with my Mom}. LOVE that place! I also couldn't resist & stopped by Sprout's for a treat for the kiddos. Once in a while I'll get some yogurt or chocolate covered pretzels or gummy worms for them. Today I got some fresh Jordan Almonds. {candy coated almonds} Mmmmm. Anson says that Ashley will only like the PINK ones! hahaha
Had girls night last night. Usually a big group of us, but turned out to be only Alicia, Julie & me. We saw Bride Wars. It was SO CUTE!!! Fun evening!
Monday, we went hiking. It was the most beautiful day! We went to Usery Pass to hike Scarface. Usually we stop once we hit the Wind Caves, but we decided to continue to the top for the first time. It was rugged & some rock climbing {not too bad though & not very far to the top}. The kids did AWESOME!! Oh my gosh! It was AMAZING on the very top! It was really cool because there was a Mesa Police helicopter that was below us and circled around the mountain back towards us. We took pictures & waved and they came up high & really close & waved back! The kids LOVED it too! It's the closest we've ever been to a helicopter!
If you go to their site, they also have fun KID activities. I want to check those out. There was a hiker that I chatted with and she told me about the program. She's also a volunteer. They sound FUN!!

I scrapped!!
We were roasting marshmallows in our fireplace a couple weeks ago on a chilly night. It was FUN & Yummy!! Ashley liked roasting hers {barely} and then eating the marshmallows out of a bowl. I scraplifted KimB's Magic of Christmas layout for the DSO Scraplift Challenge.

Thank you! IT's a beautiful kit!
Mostly I want to thank you for showcasing the David brown picture. I have never seen it before and immediately had to go browse his website. Totally beautiful! I have children in heaven and when I look at that picture I just see my own babies in his arms. TOTALLY how I visualize him with them.
You are too kind! Thanks so much!
I've been a horrible, horrible blogging friend and I apologize. ALL my friends and family have been neglected. I don't know what's gotten into me! I've just gotten lazy or something! I rarely check my personal blog.
But I still love ya and I love your comments! Your kits are, as always, fabulous and if you want, I'd be more than happy to work with some (hint hint). It's been a while since the famous Andrea has had some layouts made with her gorgeous kits. :)
That drawing of Christ and the little boy is so touching! I'm so glad that you got it! I want one! It's so sweet and endearing. I love how the artist really captures a moment we all know Christ shared with the children.
Have a good weekend! It's just about here!
Thanks so much!
oh wow! I love the photos you posted from your hike. What a spectacular view! Thank you for sharing your DSO challenge kit with us. It's beeeautiful!
I love reading your blog. Your family is just awesome!

Bride wars does sound like a good movie to see with the girls! Perhaps I can ask some of my girlfriends out and we can see this too :)
Can you imagine how it would have felt to be that little boy? That is a beautiful print.
Ashley has good taste -- I like the pink ones, too!
Thank you for the sweet kit!
