Were Back!

Were back home!! Sorry I havent had much time to post OR let you know that I was going away LOL.

Last week I was doing some laundry and Aiden was napping when I heard someone come in our door. At first I thought Aiden fell out of his crib but I then saw Brent..who was home from work very early. I was so excited he was home early!! He then went into my scrapbook room closet and pulled out our suitcases and told me to start packing. If you know me..you know I am a planner and list maker. I would have prepared for this trip 2 weeks ago LOL..he thought it was be great NOT to tell me and just surprise me...I was surprised!! I was in shock to get upset with him ;)

We were off to Florida for a 5 night stay in a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo right at the ocean. WOW. I will never stay in hotels again if I have the choice of a condo (at least at the beach) It was amazing and we had SO much fun.

Here are just a few pics...

















So much fun!! We did alot of fun stuff, so much stuff that I had to actually start journaling in the condo what we did so that when I go back to scrapbooking it I can remember LOL.

I wont bore you too much with all the details but remember I print this blog off into book form so I want to remember it

Highlights:

• Aiden loving the sand but not so much the ocean..he would run away from the waves and back..so cute!
• The weather was PERFECT. NO RAIN!! and I didnt get burned..I think that is a Fl first time moment for me LOL
• We went to an aquarium and saw lots of fun shows, including a seal who break dances
• Aiden did so well on this entire trip
• I got a new Coach purse, wallet, and coin purse for great prices (my mothers day gift!!--doesnt Aiden have great taste ;) )
• Finding Whataburger...best place ever! LOL
• scrapbook stores!
• tons more of memories were made!

Now that were back here...it feels COLD. Aiden got sick on the 13 hr drive back..it was bad. Brent and I were forced with do we keep driving or do we stop at a hotel where he probably wont sleep anyways...we made it home and he only threw up in the car that one time. I was scared. He handled the car ride very well!

Sorry no cards today..I am so behind on my Design Teams but I wouldnt have changed this family vacation for anything!!

Computer Skills?

Its after midnight so I guess techincally its a new day...Wednesday! Brent is in the living room watching the DVR'd game of Purdue and Michigan State (GO Purdue!!) and I am in one of those moods where I want to be creative but I dont really want to have to go in my room, clean up my mess from last night and start creating...especially at midnight when we are going to bed soon lol. So I stayed here at the computer and decided to "revamp" my blog header (picture at the top that says my blog name.....it looked like this yesterday:
BEFORE:

And now if you noticed...it looks like this
AFTER:


I LOVE it and I am so proud!! I have mentioned before that we got a new computer for downstairs and all my photoshops were on the old one and I havent had time to upload it all on it..plus I love how fast this computer is without all those programs. SO yes...I did this without my photoshop and with GIMP. Now I know there are TONS of people who are thinking, Oh wow..shes excited on THAT work...be quiet and let me enjoy this moment lol. I love how I added a family picture to my header this time...makes it more personal!!

I have been super busy..I want to say today but really it was yesterday (are you confused yet?!). I created a layout for the Memory Makers Book Call. I am excited..hopefully they like it

Sadly I am not able to show the page or upload it anywhere until they say yes or no...but its cute I promise.I could be a bit biased though since it does have my cute hubby and my adorable son in the pics.

We got another 3 inches of snow today...I LOVE watching it fall down and so does Aiden, we probably stayed by the window for a total of 2 hours today watching it fall down and watching our neighbor shovel his driveway...Fun times I tell you as a SAHM lol. Well Im gonna get off here and go clean up a little before bed. Have a great night/morning...depending on when you are reading this :)
