Morgan's Cheer Pics from this year

I didn't have access to Morgan's cheer pictures for this season (another story and not worth repeating, so don't ask). I accidentally got ONE poor digital copy of her pic and I photoshopped it into some sort of useful condition and altered the saturation for this.  I think it came out very nice...considering. :)

Boy Scout camp & a layout of Jordan and Swiffer

The boy has some time off this evening from his job as staff at the local boy scout camp. He's been working four weeks now and has about five to go.  Monday nights he has a couple hours free and we're planning on picking him up and taking him out for dinner.  I'm really excited about seeing him because he had kind of a rough week last week and the rest of the family was out of town this weekend so I didn't get to see him when he was home for his day off.  I really missed being there, but I'm so proud of him for sticking it out when it was difficult. I think he's pretty proud of it, too, and pleased with the way the situation has worked out so far. He says he'd like to have Steak n Shake for dinner and that sounds great to me. Anyway, I really can't wait to get my arms around him, even though I'm sure he'll be telling me I'm embarrassing his 16 y/o self!

This is a layout of some pics of Jordan and Swiffer. She's so cute with him. She treats him like a little brother...he bugs her sometimes and sometimes she can't stand not to squeeze him. When I get up in the morning and let the dog out of the bedroom he runs right down to Jordan and wants his morning rub. He sits outside her bedroom or the bathroom door and waits for her to come out and snuggle him. If I say, "Where's Sissy," he knows who I mean and looks toward where he knows she is.  Swiffer luvs Jordan.

My latest two layouts and travelling news

The hub and the two youngest girls and I traveled to Indianapolis today. I was so busy with crazy last minute problems I could barely get packed.  Child three had a phone that mysteriously stopped functioning and I spent at least an hour fiddling with it and holding for a customer service rep. Child two is at camp and somehow the screen on HIS phone got wet and he can't see to read my text messages. (or his girlfriend's which seems to be the bigger issue.) Child four spent the day swimming with a friend and was, consequently, not packed. At the last moment she thought of her mp3 player, but, somehow, a toothbrush and underwear were not a concern. At any rate, we got here and whatever didn't make it is stuck at home.

Tomorrow we are spending the day at a water park and the evening at a baseball game. It should be a whirlwind day!

I haven't posted any layouts in a long time. Here are the two latest one's I have done.      

This is Child number one.  This is a mini kit I created (see earlier post) with some odds and ends from other kits from DSO's January 2010 color challenge.

                                                                                                                              

Also Child number one with her best friends before prom.  This template is from Modern June.

June 2010 Color Challenge

Well, here's my kit for Kim's Color Challenge at DSO. These colors were a real challenge for me.  I was just going to use the blues and do a "stormy sea" idea, but it was flat. So I worked in some of the peachy color, too. I hope y'all enjoy it!

I gotta give credit to The Scrappin Cop (as always), Katussia (KTS) at Just a Dream and Sprouting Seeds. And a whole lotta other peeps I download from all the time and just didn't use in this particular endeavor. Thanks to all for sharing!
