a mom and her camera: Where has summer gone?

July 25, 2008

Where has summer gone?

Well, by the heat, we know summer is most def still here!!! But, seriously, school will be starting in less than a month and I don't know where summer went!!!

We haven't seen Destiny much more than usual and that saddens me for Dusty so much. For all of us really, but poor Dusty - it just kills him that he doesn't see his daughter very much.

The boys are growing like weeds - Lane has already outgrown the Heely's we got him for Christmas. :( He's been working for my grandpa when he's not whining about it or while he's whining about it! LOL

Colton is a mess - and that's an understatemnt! The Playstation is his world, although he loves to "read" alot too. He is really getting it and that makes me so proud.

I had high hopes for our summer and it's almost gone. I would've loved to get out of here for a bit, but the money is just not there for it. Oh well, maybe next year! :D

I've had a lot going on this summer! Lyndie and I started our own design blog (see link on the right!), I was selected for 3 Creative Teams, and I've applied for a couple more too!

Ok, I've done a few layouts since posting - as Sweet Shoppe rewards us with discounts for doing challenges (what a great inspiration to get LO's completed!).

Here are a few of my latest! :D
