April 22

I fell off the wagon. I have been clean for 2 months but this week I bought and ate chocolate chip cookie dough. It was yummy. I am disgusted with myself. I step on the scale and see it go up not down and instead of doing something about it, I go out and get CCCD. It's out of my system now and if I could find my coupon for $10 meeting fees I would be at Weight Watcher's but I misplaced that little bugger somewhere. I know I will find it the question is will I find it before it expires on 6/6? I'm walking with Natalie tomorrow night and who knows maybe even Friday. Weather should hold off on Saturday in time for me to get out in the morning too. I should sign off now and go work on Wii Fit. I think I will.

This year I have been rocking on the crafts. Two quilts, 4 scrapbook pages and 4 mini albums completed before May. So of course my DH is ready to move and wants me to pack it all up for the staging of our house. I'm debating. While at Schleswig for Easter we went through a box of my late grandma's pictures. I pulled some for scrapping. Today I got some really cool paper from Basic Grey called Mellow that just seemed to go along with one of the pictures. I tried a new size 11 1/2 by 6 (should have been 12 x 6 but didn't have a brown in that size) I liked it and it worked well with the old 110 picture.

What a cold day this was. Of course we had a confirmation in the family that's why. It snowed on my confirmation many years ago. My niece E was confirmed. We went to church had a yummy breakfast and then started the long trip back to Cedar Falls. We made the return trip in about 5 1/2 hours like we were supposed to. Unlike the trip down which took FOREVER. Above the boys and I with the beautiful Confirmation girl. Thanks for giving up your room to us for the weekend E!

Campbell had his vocal concert tonight. No pictures mom didn't check to make sure her equipment worked prior to leaving. We have the whole thing on video though so ask to see it when you come over. You can even ask Campbell to give a short performance. I don't guarantee that you will get anything from him but if you do it will bring a smile to your face.

I had 2 friends deliver babies on April 14th so today I went to visit. I didn't get to meet the little guy as he was having a visit with the doctor but here is the newest little girl. Miss H was a beauty. Her parents say she sleeps all the time and she didn't have her eyes open very long while I was there. She was so cuddly though. Good job A.J.

It was cold out today. But my outdoor boy had to ride his motorbicycle at Gragra Peters house. He was on the real one yesterday so he knew how to make the motorcycle noise. Thank goodness the warm weather is here. Wish it would come more than every other day.

April 11

After a long drive to my home town last night. It was a busy day today. We saw the Easter bunny and received 23 eggs from him and his helpers. We checked out the progress on mom and dad's remodeling job. Mom and I helped crack 400 eggs for the Easter Breakfast and Dad and Campbell played a 2 1/2 hour game of Monopoly. Not really sure how Campbell talked dad into that one.

April 8

My last issue of Simple Scrapbooks came today. It makes me sad that this is the end. This is my favorite magazine. I don't even want to finish reading it because I know then that this is the end. They say that they will be moving some of the favorites over to Creating Keepsakes but it won't be the same. Goodbye my friend.

April 6

Campbell is feeling Mr. T and got out all his necklaces. Why he has so many I don't know. He does know who Mr. T is, we have a channel that shows the A-Team every night. I should tell you that you don't see pictures of Campbell very often now because he is camera shy. With Jamison you get out a small device and he thinks it's time to pose for a picture. I hope that doesn't change.

April 4

This is how you can usually find us on any given morning. Jamison sitting on the counter waiting for his toast to pop up so he can have his "butter & lelly". He's getting better at saying it, but now he wants to help you make it. The time varies any where between 5:30 and 7. Most week day mornings it is Brian feeding him because I have distracted him with Motorbicycles on T.V.

April 3

This was bath night and we put bubbles in the bath. Jamison was ecstatic, but to me it means 2 hours in the bathroom not just one. This is not a regular thing and I took video of Jamison screaming because he didn't want the bubbles to leave. Bad Mommy, getting a kick out of something so distressing to my child. He'll hate me for it too when I show it to his children.

April 1

Did anyone get caught on a good joke? Campbell switched lids on the Peanut Butter so Brian started putting creamy on his toast. I thought it was funny. We got the idea off of one of the children's channels only they wanted you to switch the inside bags of cereal which is what Campbell wanted to do but I don't think Jamison would have gotten the joke. Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyway the picture for this day is part of my crafty weekend. I made a mini album and these two pages about our trip to the Delhi cabin in February when we had 50 degree weather. I'm not exactly happy with the Snow Play title, I used some glue that made the letters slide and then when it dried you could see the glue. Should have practiced because I did much better on the Delhi part.

Today we had a good bye party for one of the girls in our aisle. I wasn't going out for very long but somehow time got away from us and I missed putting the boys to bed. I bet Brian didn't have to fight with them about it. Most of us had a good time. Why Kathleen is that an alcoholic beverage in your hand?

March 26

This is a rare occasion. Both boys ready for school/daycare and there is still time for them to watch T.V. with out mom yelling to get something done. I took a sneak shot on this otherwise the fingers would not be in the mouth. Five minutes before they were fighting over what channel they were going to watch.

March 25

Jamison got a big boy bed today. He loved it. We need to do some rearranging but first we have to get a frame. Brian has three in storage but they aren't the right type of course so we are going to have to purchase one. Not to excited about that. Jamison is busy jumping on his bed now instead of Campbell's
