Even better....

Cory just got home about 1/2 an hour ago and he is at the moment FOLDING ALL THE LAUNDRY that I piled up all weekend! :) Can't beat that! (He even volunteered to do this)

and, I want to know where you all are getting your cute "header"/"title" thinga-ma-bobs?

Mission Accomplished!

While I was enjoying myself and sorting thru tons and tons of pictures Cadence vegged out in front of the TV (something I do not like to admit we ever let her do!)


and, Cozette helped me sort! Yep, that's her right in the middle of it all! This project took up the entire front room! It was messy to say the least!


That's right, I just took a picture of NOTHING! All the pictures have been sorted, organized, labeled and ready to be scrapbooked or just simply put into photo books!

Here they sit (Hopefully not for long) in boxes, tubs and cubbies! and, these are the frames that need to find pictures to keep them company!


This? this is my pile of laundry that I washed and dried, but have conveniently neglected to fold and put away! This afternoons project, maybe?


I survived my weekend without Cory and have learned a lot about myself! I am glad that I had this time with just the girls and myself, but I will be glad to see him come home!

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and thank you all for blogging! I love being uplifted by reading about each of your lives!

So it begins...


6 tubs of photos, albums, memorabilia, a 12 pk of Diet Pepsi in the fridge and I am set to start sorting and scrapbooking! (I probably will only get through the sorting process today)

Have a blessed and restful day!

hmmm!

Cory is away for the weekend! I don't have anything really planned, lots of things I could do, but no agenda!

hmmm, things to do:
paint the upstairs bathroom
laundry, always laundry
loan application
write a letter to parents for my music studio
write lesson plans for a week in advance! That would be awesome!
coupons, coupons, coupons
vaccum
mop
go for a walk
sign up for a marathon relay, OCT. 28th
(anyone out there want to join? we are getting teams of 4 people together!)
write out invitations for an upcoming Open House (UppercaseLiving)
write out a diet plan!
(How can a person, deliver a baby, lose all the "baby" weight, not sit down
for six months, go like crazy, eat moderately and then gain weight? SO NOT FAIR!)
clean garage, Yikes!
clean car, SCARY!

but with Cory gone, all I want to do is enjoy the girls and scrapbook! I have not scrapbooked in over a year! HORRIBLE! I know! Everything, all my supplies, pictures, stickers, paper, everything is in boxes upstairs beckoning to me....it's just that at this point I feel so overwhelmed by it I don't know where to start! I don't know, maybe I'll wait another year or for a time when I have more time. I'll see what tomorrow brings!

I always enjoy catching up on all of your blogs! I hope all is well in each of your homes!

Anyway, this is what's on my mind tonight! I think I'll go curl up with my book and worry about it tomorrow!

Jubilee Lake



Labor Day Weekend was awesome! We spent three days, two nights at Jubilee Lake near Tolgate camping. The pictures above:
1-4, My mom, aka Oma, took Cadence and Gigi (my neice on a walk), these are some of the pictures that I took as I followed along behind them...
5-7, Me and my girls, Leah (my sister-in-law) and Gigi, and Cory and Cadence (who is refusing to have her picture taken, gotta love the terrible twos!)
8-10, Cadence sharing her apple with her best buddy, Buster, Opa and the girls, and Cadence mastering the hill in our camp
11-14, are all pictures that Cory took the first night we stayed after Cadence kicked him out of bed at 2:30 in the morning.

We normally do not sleep with our children, because we want to get our sleep and we are selfish that way. So, when we go on trips and there is only one bed for all of us and it becomes the "community" bed, we know that someone is going to end up getting booted...It was Cory's turn and I am so glad! I would not have done well outside of the tent, by myself in the middle of the night! Don't get me wrong I am an outdoors woman, but the sun needs to be shining! I don't do the dark thing!

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!

Lindsay, your name is now listed on my blog. Are you Happy? I apologize, sometimes I am lazy and don't finish what I set out to do...

Oh, My cousin Jenny had her baby on August 31st, Brycen Shaun Jeppeson. 8 lbs. 11 oz. 21 inches long...Big Boy (but he's still so tiny!)
