Rope ~ Chain border

Someone asked me where I got the chain/rope border in the layout "Family Adventure". I told them it was a paper punch but that I thought I could do a digi embellisment of it...and I did....

It is a png. file...looks better than the rope boarder on my layout, same color...it is 1.4 MB as I do not have winzip I could not zip it but if you do not have dial up then it shouldn't take long to download it.

You can pick up the Rope/Chain border here.

Family Adventure

Here is another paper layout of a trip to Aransas Wildlife Refuge last August but this time Daddy (Fred) came with us....

The small quote on the page reads: Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to his parents.

Jake ~ 9 months

Jake was 9 months old at the end of February.

He weighed 65lbs and is going through his first shed.

We are so blessed to have him and he fills our lives with so much laughter.

I personally love his bounce! He is just like tigger on Winnie the pooh and loves to bounce!

This cooler weather is definitely agreeing with him and he has been a little imp! Fred gripes about getting a wet nose in his face in the morning, if he doesn't get up when his alarm goes off but I think secretly he thinks it's funny. We've taken to calling him Jakers as it truly fits him. Jake loves to be loved and coddled and I think secretly he thinks he might be a lap dog but he isn't!! He's definitely a family dog and keeps a look out for all of us, pacing from one room to the other to keep an eye on us. Him and KitCat have become best buddies and in the evenings they groom each other. Jakers has found his voice and if playing will add a bark and has taken to sassing us too!! We've lost our hearts to Jake and are so glad we have him!!

My son is very entertaining!

I wasn't paying much attention to what Michael was doing or should I say what he was wearing. I knew he was playing with his toy guns, I could hear the noise!!

I walked out of the computer/scrap room and when I walked back in this is what I saw...

Oh what a dull life I would have without him...As you can see he is using his imagination!! A boy needs somewhere to put his guns....He was standing there watching tv and didn't even notice I took a photo!!

Come ride the Carousel with ME!

I know I just did a digi layout of Michael on the carousel but I had planned on doing these photos in a paper layout so here it is...

Journaling reads:

The title of this layout truly fits Michael that day in Corpus Christi. His Father and brother Trey met us at the Carousel. Little did they know Michael had big plans for them? Come ride the Carousel with me Daddy! Come ride the Carousel with me Trey! Michael was able to ride the Carousel 3 times and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Hmmp!!!

I normally try to stay positive!! I try very very hard...But this is ridiculous!!

NOW IT'S MY TURN TO GRIPE!!

It is March 6th and we live in SOUTH Texas.

Now mind you I did say SOUTH and does not SOUTH mean warmth!!!!

Apparently NOT right now...it is 43 F. with a windchill of 33 F.

I am FREEZING my A$$ off and it's just plum ridiculous!!

Yes we have the furnace running but the wind is bitter and this rental house really could use some new windows...so it's a bit drafty...and I am really sick of this...the Freezing cold front came through at 1pm and I have had 6.5 hours of this crap and it's ENOUGH!!!

Someone turn up the HEAT, lol....

Now come JULY and AUGUST I'll regret I said that but I just had to gripe!!

Okay I am done...now stayed tuned as I have another blog entry to do...

I hope everyone has a WARM & WONDERFUL weekend :o)

Boy and his dog.
