30 Minute Blog

Okay, so the timer is set... I am giving myself 30 mins to do this blog and then I have a TON of stuff I want to get done while BOTH (that's right, I said it... both) girls are napping!! I think I first need to address our weather-- for those of you out of state--

These two pictures were both taken this week! First, snow... then 2 days later-- grillin' weather! Oh well, as long as the grillin' weather lasts I won't complain about the snow. This is Ryan's new grill-- he is very excited :) Our family LOVES to grill out!!

Next topic... my NEW VINYL LETTERING!!!!!!!!!! Cathey came through again!! This one is soooo cute, I love it! The pictures were kind of hard to take since it is like 8 feet long, but at least you get an idea!! This quote says: "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."

I have gotten requests for Cathey's e-mail, so here it is: cjdj1947@mchsi.com

She is sooooo good, she can help you create whatever you have in mind-- just send her an e-mail.

And now the reason I have to get going.....

We gave into the pressure and got "Guitar Hero II" last night. (a video game you have to play the guitar!) So we have been "rocking out" and not getting anything else done! -- Thanks Jess, we are addicted now!!!!!!!

Okay, the other reason nothing has gotten done is I found a GREAT scrapbooking website!! ATTENTION ALL SCRAPPERS.............. www.bluemoonscrapbooking.com It is fabulous and I got all my stuff in 1 day!!! (So, of course I had to order more!!) So now I have to get to work on a scrapbooking project and finish putting shingles on Hallie's dollhouse and get laundry done, and clean up the house a bit. I am sure I forgot other things, but my timer is down to 2 mins. so I have to go!!!

And of course........... here is a picture of Reese, taken by Photographer Hallie....

Ladwig, "Out"

(Don't you feel like I need to have a goodbye phrase for the bottom of my blogs??? Okay, maybe Ryan Seacrest's "Seacrest, Out" isn't it, but I need to think of something. I feel like Katie Couric when they were having the contest for her phrase. I have to be careful-- I don't want to plagiarize anyone!!)
