Random Photo Wednesday

Tyson got the tomahawk at my birthday dinner this weekend. It was so very large and in charge...bigger than his face. Unreal.

I survived/thrived on another first day of school yesterday. Favorite part? Hands down, when a few eighth graders came back at the end of the day to visit me. 

I made this awhile ago, took pictures, and then was too lazy to upload the pictures. I just love looking at his happy face! He loves a good car ride.

Get crafty :: Cards!

Last weekend I sat down with my crafty partner-in-crime, Ashli, but I couldn't scrapbook because I desperately need to print pictures. Anyways, I made some cards for the first time in a long time and it was quite fun! Here's a peek at what I made...

I think I made one or two more, but I didn't photograph them. It's been awhile since I've made a card, and I was kind of obsessed by the end. I used to even have an Excel workbook that helped me calculate the size of paper I needed to create my own envelopes. Unfortunately my laptop has since crashed. Here's to hopefully a craft-filled school year! Hizzah!

This Friday, we are celebrating Sophie's second birthday! It's actually her one year adoption anniversary, but we are counting it as both. I can't believe she's only been with us for a year...the time has flown by and we just love her so. My favorite is when we lay down on the couch after dinner. She ferociously jumps on Tyson's stomach and nestles a little nook for herself. Just precious.

Project Life 2013, Week 33

Hooray for another Vegas Project Life week! I had a plethora of pictures to choose from, so I decided to make mini album of our three (so far) trips and just include a few highlights here. My favorite is the panoramic view from our balcony. One of my cheerleaders showed me that the iPhone did that recently, and it was fun to play with!

So yummy. That oxtail...just wow. That's all. I'm enjoying using the collage app to include more photos. Super easy, too.

I forgot to take pictures at the restaurant we went to off the strip. Honey Salt was seriously amazing. Why does Vegas have so many awesome restaurants?!

Project Life 2013, Week 31

This summer has flown by...it's kind of strange that the teachers go back to school today. Especially since I've been thinking about school pretty much the whole time. I was able to finish my Project Life page (from two weeks ago) yesterday in my efforts to get a few things checked off my to do list before I'm back at school every day.

I've got a little puppy action, a little road trip shower edition action, and a little celebrating our new mat action. I used a freebie from Cathy Zielske's blog which was a fun and different way to incorporate an instagram picture. I'll definitely use that card some more in the future!

Here's a look at the two pages together. I'm glad I used a little green polka dot action to break up the grey cards. It makes the green grass pop across the page, which makes me pretty happy.

Get crafty :: hooray card

I've needed to print pictures all summer, so I've been making a few cards instead. This one was for a friend's bridal shower. Hooray, indeed! My apologies for the cell phone pictures; I need to charge my big camera's battery!

A little bling is always a good idea.

Project Life 2013, Week 32

I skipped ahead to this past week while it was still fresh on my mind. I'm planning on going back to do week 31, but I'm going to let 30 pass on by...I don't have many pictures and can't recall anything out of the norm that needs documenting.

And that's what I'm calling good enough and moving on...

Womp womp

I have majorly failed on the updating of my blog! Cheer has consumed my life for the past two weeks. I'll be back soon....

Oh, silly mascots.
