back on the horse



I am trying to get my schedule back together. It is amazing to me how hard it is! Part of it may have to do with the sun being up til around 8pm here. What is up with that? LOL



My baby turned 8 this weekend. How did that happen? He is so adorable. We have such a fun time with him. He just does the most unexpected things!
We decided to go to WonderWorks to celebrate his birthday. ( I just wasn't up for a party...sorry!) Ben said his favorite part was the spinning bridge/tunnel you have to go through to get to the fun stuff. (It made me sick!)






WonderWorks is a place we had seen and wanted to go to but just never could afford. For those of you that don't know what WonderWorks is, it is an interactive science playground. I guess. It has things like a huge bubble making room, earthquake rooms, laser tag, mind games, build-your-own-rollercoaster simulators, flight simulators,....even a bed of nails you can try out. It was a total blast! We all have fun. And, if you must know, I died at laser tag. Even Benny beat me! It is so scarey!! LOL

Wow, that looks like a TON of fun! Too bad we're all the way out here, booo! I'm so glad you took the kids there and I can't believe he's 8! Wasn't he just starting kindergarten last year? haha. Glad to see you out and about - all the best to you!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I...

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for...
