Football, scrappin' & sky concert fun

So far, it's been a busy but fun weekend! And, a super HOT one at that! Dakota's team won their game, 14 - 0. I've never seen the kid so excited about a sport!!! This is his first year playing and I think that he's done a great job, even though most of the kids have played for more than a year. Last night, we headed downtown for "Sky Concert", which is always fun! Funnel cakes, friends and fireworks. You just can't beat it!




And, today, I've been scrappin'! I still have lots of mojo so, hopefully after my Dad leaves, I'll be back to creatin'! Here are the 2 layouts that I finished today.

I'm a total slacker...

It's been 2 months since I've posted anything!!! Crap! Well, since my last post, let me list all of the happenings around the Stiner household:

1. Haleigh's 7th b-day
2. My sister's b-day
3. CHA Chicago baby!
4. My 32nd b-day
5. We've rescued a dog, only to have to take her to Animal Control
6. Dakota started football
7. School started and I now have a kid in the 5th grade and one in the 2nd grade
8. We've found out that our cat, Nala, has tumors throughout her body.
9. I've just celebrated my 1 year anniversary of working at Standard Locknut.
10. I lost my scrappin' mojo for over a month but, it made it's appearance over the weekend (thank you Carla)!

So, life's been a little crazy. I feel a bit overwhelmed at times with all that goes on but, I guess that it really isn't that bad. I do need to take more time to post on this dang thing! My next post will hopefully have some pictures of recent happenings!

Until next time...

11 years...

...and still very happy! Yesterday, June 21, was our 11 year anniversary! And we are just as happy as can be! Eleven years, and this is what we have: 2 kids, 1 house, 2 cats, 1 dog, and a mini-van (and someday, maybe more! ;) ) We are definitely living a good life!!!

Karen (my Mother-in-Law) kept the kids for the night and we went out to eat at a place down the road called "Rick's Cafe Boatyard". It's this fantastic restaurant with a huge deck overlooking the docks at Eagle Creek Reservoir. And, the view was beautiful! Our waitress was ever so kind to take a picture of us! Afterwards, we enjoyed some time at Kohl's, WITHOUT kids! It really was a great evening!

I'm in!!!

Holy crap! I submitted one of my layouts to Simple Scrapbooks and they chose it for the November/December issue!!!!!! I am still in shock. I seriously thought that it would never happen, thus the reason for me to rarely submit. I'll still only submit here and there, in hopes that maybe I'll get into another magazine at some point of time. It's definitely still not my number one priority when it comes to scrappin'!
