What a busy Day!!!
Brian, Brandon and I rode the metric century. It's just over 60 miles on a bike. We averaged about 17 miles per hour (for me that's pretty good). It was just over 3 1/2 hours on the bike. Then I came back home did 6 or more loads of laundry, went to the grocery store. and Brian took us out for some pizza and did a couple more errands. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Well the kids have only been back to school for only a week, and I already don't like it. Everyone is much more irritable, and I don't seem to get any more done. A lot of people say that you have so much more time. I guess it has to do with the fact that I have two in college when my youngest is going to first grade.

So along with all the other thing we have to do, we play chauffeur twice a day, add homework, and have irritable kids to the list. The joys of school. YA!

I am feeling very anxious right now about my kids going back to school. I just want summer days to keep on going.... I love my kids being at home, even if there is more messes to clean up, and more arguing. I think they just try to fit it in after school anyway. I can't believe that I have a first grader and two in college. I really am getting old!!!

You know that your kids are growing way too fast when your littlest comes and cuddles in the chair with you, and you look down at those precious little feet and wonder when they grew so big (although they are really not that big). So often I keep thinking that I would like to just slow down time so we could enjoy some of the little things more!!

Where did that come from?

I was putting my wallet back into my purse after buying cheese at Gossners and found a stick that I think Justin dropped into my purse at Bear Lake. Funny kid--fun memories! It made me smile.

Wish big!

Inspiration today was birthdays! Fun and exciting times for kids. I also used crystal effects to embellish these cards. I placed the card on a dark background to help it show up on the screen.

PARTY!

I wanted to use the "burmuda bay" in color today. I also used the "wedding sweet" stamp set.

Thanks Card

Congratulations Card

I have missed a couple of days due to our little camping trip, and doing wash afterwards.

I really like the new in colors, especially the rich razzleberry. I made the green "thanks" card awhile ago but decided to post it with the "congratulations" card that I did today. The designer series paper that I used with it is "cottage wall".

Sand Castle

Bear Lake

We went camping over at the north shore of Bear Lake with Nicole, Justin and Alena. We had a good time playing in the water and making this sand castle. Justin thought the frog his Dad caught was pretty cool, and decided that his new wish for a pet would be a frog. It was a short little camping trip. But, I think the kids had a good time.

I really liked this new background stamp, called medallion. I used markers in the new in colors.

If you would like to order from the Stampin' Up! website, you can go to the link, choose find a demonstrator, then type my name in the spaces on the left with Utah as the state. It will ask you to leave me an e-mail and then I will contact you. Thanks!!

It's my Dad's birthday in a couple days, so I thought I would start off by showing the card that I made to send to him.

Inside sentiment reads; Hope your day is PAR-FECT!

I have decided to join in the blogers. I really don't know what I am doing yet, but I'll figure it out as we go along.

I hope to be able to post news about the Anne and my Card Club. Enjoy little tidbits about what is going on with my family, and maybe even write something. ( I am not a writer)!!!
