Cancun


I love love love this photo! It has to have center stage. This pool was so beautiful and on this morning it was just a perfect setting for a great photo.

More Cancun






Cancun 2008


First layout! I think this will be my cover page of my book! Well not the COVER but the first page. God knows I wouldn't want my BODY on the OUTSIDE COVER! LOL
But you know what...I am ok with it. I had a blast and I know my size so I don't care! And my family & friends don't care either. Right!

Here are my pictures

If you want to see them, try this link Cancun Photos

Let me know if this doesn't work...I will send you the direct link in an email.

EDIT TO ADD: My camera (that 99% of my cancun photos were taken with) is a
Sony DSC-T100 8.1 Megapixel Cyber Shot.

I love it. It small, compact, but takes great photos. I took my Digital SLR with me but fell back on this one every time. I just didn't want to get my big one out or ruin it with the water & sand.

Doesn't get better than this!

My view from here

WOW

ok...I hate to post this for those of you who are not here but WOW. OMG...I have never and probably never will again...stay/ed in such a nice place. Once I figure out how to upload pictures, I will.

Amy Jo, nothing bad has happened yet. Unless you count the countless drinks that I ordered and DIDN"T drink like. I think I wasted 5. I feel bad because I know we were taught not to waste but...
Plane was on time, great flights, luggage arrived perfectly, cleared customes in a breeze, first ones off the shuttle bus, greeted with a tropical drink upon checkin, Swim suit goes on and we hit the pools, beach, lazy river, wave pool, water bar, and then Bev shows up. We have ajoining rooms!!! WHAT?!! How cool is that!

To my other buddies: WISH YOU WERE HERE TOO. I have only seen Bev, Jim, and Tod. Others probably are not in yet.

Tomorrow it's up before sunrise to catch it on film!

Leg one of trip

Well, we made it to the airport to pick up my friend Amy and then we made it to the hotel. Got our dinner delivered to the room (pizza). Now it just hang out time.

Oh...yes, I brought my laptop. I was forced to bring by someone who shall go nameless....See above!

5 Star Vacation

I am leaving today for my NEW destination: A 5 Star resort NOW! Wow!!!

So it's back to the drawing board on the packing. Guess I better take something more than just shorts/capri's. I don't do DRESS UP. I am NOT a Girly Girl so I only own comfy/non-dressy clothes.

So...I didn't sleep last night due to the excitement. I have about 4 hours total under my belt. And it's going to be LONG day today.

So ADIOS!!!

This will probably be my last post until Sunday! I am soooo excited you can't even imagine.
BUH-BYE!

Gotta secret to share...

I have been a busy girl today. Not only am I packed for my trip but I also just did 5 pages for my album. I got them all ready so all I have to do is drop in my photos! And each pages has atleast 3 photos. Some have room for upto 8 or 9!! YAHOOOO!!!

I already have pictures in mind that I want to take! Can you tell I am very excited for this trip!

I used Krystal's Soleil Mini Kit. I can't seem to get enough of that kit. I have been using her orangish-red paper from Our Family kit too. It seems to work with the colors. I was thinking a chili pepper red would be great but I can't figure out how to make my own paper! LOL

So...off to work in the morning even though Josh and the boys are off. Boohoo...but I always get time with the boys so it's good for him and them to spend time together without mom. Guess they will have lots of that this week, won't they!

See some of you soon, and to the others, see you Sunday!

I'm Ready

Nothing else to say!

William's Valentine Card


Ok...You guys are not going to believe this but Will did this on his own! I kid you not. I had him come in and sit with me and he picked everything out and told me where to put it and how big, etc....!!! My son's favorite color is PINK. So he wanted a pink valentine. I said, we could use this Bee and say Be Mine! And that is the only influence I had...oh except for putting the winged heart behind the birds. He wanted it in front of them with his name on it. I should have let him but I had to put it behind the birds. You might be asking what birds have to with valentines day? I have no clue! LOL but they are pink! And he called the winged heart a muscle heart. He says it is showing off his muscles! heehee...I guess it does look like.
He saw the black ribbon and says, "let's put the ribbon on the heart like you did on that one layout!" So he does "look" at my layouts. That's good to know!
anyways...heres is the digi part of Will's valentines.

Zander's hybrid valetines

Here is the digi part:

Going to add this to cardstock.

Josh & Halli


They were being lazy one day and I had to get a shot of that! It's not very often that Josh just lays around. He's one of those that has to be doing something at ALL times. I love when he takes time to relax. This is my other dog, Halli Tosis. She's 11 and one of the best dogs ever! But she really lives up to her name! ACK...horrible horrible breath. She's been like since she was a puppy...hence the name! Unlike Ginger Vitis. She does NOT live up to her name! LOL

So hard to have a dental hygienist in the house. Lucky my boys are not names Perry O. Dontal or Floss E. Stiverson! LOL Oh...I crack myself up some days....please...just let me go...I need a good laugh every now and then.
