Karlies bday part 3

2011-06-09T22:36:00.003-04:00

Mom Mom made Karlie a special hat to hang in her room!

We always wait until the kids real birthday to give them the gifts they get from the family or the cards they recieve in the mail, this year I could hardly wait to give Karlie the gift I made her! Her BFF is our dog Holly, a boxer and I decided to make Karlie a piece of artwork for her room, so I took a picture of Holly and altered the colors in photoshop, then I went to Walgreens.com and used there poster maker and had it blown up to 24x36 (great quality print was very impressed) then I bought this great frame at Micheals and here was the result!!! She LOVED it, I think she was more excited about the pic then the flat screen TV we got her!

Blind taste testing

Karlie is 13!!!!

2011-06-09T21:45:00.004-04:00

Its been a a long while since I have updated my blog and I think I need to try and keep up with it, so many things are happening in our lives and its time to share more of our adventures in our life.

So yesterday I became the mother of a teenager, lord help me! Last weekend we had her birthday party with the theme of Peace, Love and Chocolate. We made homemade invitations, we also made homemade chocolate hearts that we put in little boxes and tied with ribbon and gave them out with the invitations as a little sneak peak as to what was to come at the party!

We also made the matching goody bags.

The food was lots of fun, tons of chocolate of coarse and what good chocolate party would not be complete with out a chocolate fountain! The girls loved it! We had all sorts of fun stuff to dip in it too! We had tons of cake balls and truffles and an Oreo cookie cake with a chocolate peace sign!

The girls were each given an apron to help keep them clean while making there own homemade chocolates and some of them got really creative, I was so impressed! I think my favorite part of the party besides seeing the smiles on Karlie's face, was the blind taste test!, just think of their faces as they put chocolate covered bacon in their mouths! It was so fun! We played several other games all revolving around chocolate before the afternoon came to an end. I hope that this will be a party forever remembered for Karlie and her friends.

Halloween

2009-11-05T11:08:00.000-05:00

Halloween is always a favorite time of year in our house, the kids love dressing up in something creepy and haunting the neighborhood for tricks and treats.

The problem is that our yard goes down hill. so we are going to have to build a retaining wall. So here are the pics after yesterday and today.

Karlie's Speech

2009-02-15T19:42:00.000-05:00

Karlie had to write a speech for school that the woodsmen of the world is sponsoring Titled Someone who has touched many lives, Karlie decided to write about my Mom, her Mom-Mom. We are really proud of her speech.

Here is what she wrote.

A Person Who Has Touched Many Lives,
My Mom-Mom

A person who has touched many lives in my life would be Helen Frazier, my Mom-Mom. Not only has she touched my life but she has touched the lives of everyone around her.
My Mom-Mom lives in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania with her husband, my Pop-Pop Jeff. Mom- Mom was born on March 9, 1945 and grew up on a farm in Centre Hall where she lived with her 7 brothers and 4 sisters. After growing up and moving to NJ for many years, where she worked with mentally and physically handicapped children, she returned to Pennsylvania to live in her home town.
My Mom-Mom has done many things that make me look up to her. One of my favorites is that for the last few years she has been sponsoring a girl that lives in Tennessee; this girl is from a very poor family and needs the extra support that my Mom-Mom provides. They send her things like clothes and school supplies and even one Christmas they fulfilled her wish to own a Game Boy. This girl is very thankful and writes letters to them all the time thanking her for her help.
My Mom- Mom is also a quilter and is always making quilts for special needs people. She provides a quilt to them so that they have something to call there own and to help keep them warm. I love the quilts she makes especially the one she has made for me. She has even started to teach me how to sew when I go to visit her.
She also has started a program at her church that welcomes home service men and women who have served overseas. Mom - Mom makes a special patriotic wall hanging to give to them during the church service as her special way of saying thank you for all they have done for our country. This makes me very proud because my Dad is a Marine.
My Mom-mom also helps with the elderly, she helps by cleaning there homes, running errands and spending time taking them places that they may need to go. Many of these women would not be able to get out of their homes if Mom- mom did not help them.
Mom- Mom also donates food to her church food pantry to help her neighbors in need and she and Pop-pop also help serve public dinners to raise money for their church.
If you visit my Mom-Mom’s house you will notice her beautiful gardens of flowers and in the summer she has a wonderful vegetable garden. She is always willing to share her flowers and teaches others how to garden. I hope that someday I will have the green thumb she has.
I am very proud of my Mom-mom and all that she has done in her life to touch other people; I could not imagine a life without her to look up to. I love my Mom-Mom very much.

Snow in North Carolina

2009-01-20T15:57:00.000-05:00

Well our kids got their first official "snow day" off from school. It is a rare moment in time that we see snow here but it started snowing this morning and it is still snowing now at 4pm. Karlie and Cory(okay and my self) are really excited to play outside. We have had a sled in our attic for 8 years waiting to be used! LOL

bird watching

2009-01-16T18:11:00.000-05:00

Since we got home from traveling at Christmas, the birds have really been coming to our bird feeder, the kids love to watch them. We have had so many new ones, and here is one of our favorites, its a Tufted Titmouse. (this was taking taken through a screen that is why its not so crisp)

Happy New Year!!!!

2009-01-01T18:14:00.000-05:00

Waiting for Santa

Dressed up for Church Christmas Eve

The cold must have frozen them them together

I am going to make the perfect snow angel Mom!

Wahoo!!!!! We love sledding!

Wow Can you believe that it is 2009 already?!?! I can't, 2008 went by way to fast. My wish for everyone is to have a healthy and happy New Year!

I was in PA and NJ over Christmas and was home before the New year but I wanted to share some pics from our trip. The kids had a great time playing in the icy snow at my Mom's house, and we were all happy to see our family over the holiday.

Christmas pics

2008-12-15T14:59:00.000-05:00

Well this is as good as it gets after taking a bunch of photos this is the only one that semi came out! I could not get them to pretend to like each other any longer than that! LOL Well Merry Christmas!!!

Crutches till Christmas!

2008-12-08T12:40:00.001-05:00

AAAACK the doc said he wants me to use the crutches at least till Christmas day and wear my boot through the new year. I know it does not seem that long in the scheme of things but I have been on them since Oct 10 (not to mention the countless times in the last 3 years dealing with this issue) So any way that is my Christmas present I guess you could say.

foot update- sort of

2008-12-04T18:43:00.000-05:00

Well its coming along slowly but surly! I have to go tomorrow to get my feet casted for orthodic inserts for my shoes and I see the doc again on Monday. I am hoping I can ditch these crutches really soon!!! My wrist and shoulders are done for! Not to mention Christmas shopping is a pain in the rear when you are crutching around! I will update again after I see the doc on Monday!

One Skinny Leg!

2008-11-13T14:44:00.000-05:00

Well its true, I have one skinny leg, well okay semi-skinny LOL From not being ableto walk my right calf is significantly smaller than the left. I have been wearing one of those lovely boots that goes up to my knee and I got to wondering, do they make these for the thighs???? If so I would like a pair of them! My thighs can use all the extra help they can get. Unfortunaly the doc said no as he laughed at me! (the nerve of him). So for now I guess I have to settle for one skinny leg!

Karlie is on Crayola!!!!

2008-11-04T19:01:00.000-05:00

Karlie was one of a few children from her school to be selected to have her picture submitted to the Crayola website! The theme was "Green-Earths favorite color" you can view her picture on the link below! We are soooooo proud of her!

http://www.crayola.com/theartofchildhood/gallery/artwork.cfm?entry=5393&st=NC&gr=5&se=&CFID=3899707&CFTOKEN=18394192

Happy Halloween!!!!

2008-11-01T12:44:00.000-04:00

We hope that everyone had a Great Halloween, We did! Thekids loved their costumes and had fun trick or treating and then when they came home we had a party for all of their friends! It was a little cold but I think everyone had a lot of fun, especially making each other into toilet paper mummies! LOL We had a ton of food, I always make too much!

2008-10-28T13:34:00.000-04:00

This picture cracks me up! It totally defines Cory's mood lately!! I wanted to take a pic of him in his jacket, I thought I would make a scrapbook page about how he always has to be all zipped up.(all the way up) so I was ready with my camera when he came home from school and did not have a good day nor did he want his picture taken. His poor glasses some how got knocked so out of whack they were barely covering both eyes! My poor baby, I sure do love you!
Now on to my foot, well it has been 18 days, 18 very long days! I still have my stitches but I was finally able to get it wet! A hot shower was very nice today. I should be able to get my stitches out next week. I still can't have any weight on it for at least 2 more weeks though. I am ready to throw the crutches out the window!! LOL So here is a pic of my stitches I put it on photo bucket so if you did not want to see it you didn't have to. the incision is about 3 inches long. Enjoy

Stir Crazy!

2008-10-20T22:29:00.000-04:00

Okay so I am on day 10 of recovery and I am going stir crazy!!!!!!!!!!! The foot is still really painful but I guess it could be alot worse considering I can't take anything because of my allergies. I am bored, I have all these ideas I would like to do for scrapbook pages but I can't get in my scraproom, Steve has decided to make it into a storage room and blocked my walk way and I can't get to my table grrrrrr. Not to mention I need to keep my foot elevated. IF I even sit in a normal position Steve hollers at me to put it up! He says " I need your foot better" Well no kidding so do I! (love you babe). Its been 3 years since my first cast went on, and I am so over it!

Surgery update

2008-10-12T12:38:00.000-04:00

Well I came home Friday afternoon as expected, my foot was totally numb (was being the key word there) toting a pump that is helping keep some of my foot numb with instructions to keep my foot elevated above heart level for several days. So I woke up yesterday and the numbness has worn off and pain has kicked in, they say it would be a whole lot worse with out this pump.

The doc said the surgery went well , I was unfortunately awake for a better part of it(not by choice) I woke up cause I was having an allergic reaction to the narcotics they had to give me, and got to listen to the not so lovely sound of the saw, yes the saw that they used to cut through my bones! not a sound anyone needs to hear! He said he took out alot of bone and put in a screw. That's right ladies and gentlemen I have been permanently screwed!!!

So now I am at home in bed with lots of pillows under my foot and my laptop in my hands where it seems I will remain for the time being, no weight bearing for 4 weeks!!!!!! And crutches well they don't like me much, I am already getting sore in my upper body from using them. UGH!

Here is a pick of my foot the ball laying next to my leg is the pump with medicine in it. Enjoy!!!

Surgery Tomorrow!

2008-10-09T18:31:00.000-04:00

Well tomorrow is finally the day!My Foot surgery is finally here! It will be at 915 Friday morning so think good thoughts and say a prayer, I will update as soon as I can, if all goes as planned I will be home tomorrow afternoon.

Fishing With Cory

2008-09-21T20:35:00.000-04:00

Today I decided to take Cory to the pond at the front of our housing development to go fishing. He has been really wanting to go for a while so we took his rod and some hotdogs for bait and off we went for a relaxing afternoon of mommy and me time. We did not catch anything except for some minnows and tadpoles but it was fun! Next time we won't wait so long to go again.

My Boy Scout

Preparing for Hanna

2008-09-04T18:06:00.000-04:00

Well Tropical Storm Hanna is preparing to come ashore here in Jacksonville and I was busy getting prepared today, picked up the usual groceries water ice batteries. I swear they double the price on that stuff when they know everyone will need them! The kids came home from school excited because they already cancelled school tomorrow, So I had them go outback and help me pick up toys and get the pool stuff cleaned up so nothing blows around. Some of Cory's trucks were sitting at the deck edge and when I picked it up what comes slithering out from underneath but a copperhead snake! YIKES!! Karlie went running all the way around the house screaming at the top of her lungs! she was quite the site to see! needless to say I am no longer cleaning up the back yard, I am letting Steve get the rest of the stuff when he gets home, Sorry Steve.
I will keep you all updated as the storm approaches and try to post some pics along the way.

In Memory of Janie

2008-09-01T22:31:00.000-04:00

New Purse

2008-08-23T21:00:00.000-04:00

At the beginning of the month I started working on my sisters birthday present and unfortunately it took a back seat when I went into the hospital. So the last few days I have been working on it and FINALLY finished. I will never use this pattern for this purse again there has got to be an easier way to make this! Its very cockeyed so don't look too close, I also added pockets on the sides so that did not help. LOL

Leapin Lizards! Happy Birthday!

2008-08-18T11:21:00.000-04:00

First I want to say Happy Birthday to my sister Deanna! love you!! Hope you have a great day!

Well most of you that know me , know that I have been under the weather for the last couple weeks and I am home form the hospital now and hopefully on the way to recovery. So anyway this morning I went out on my deck and found this cute little creature staring back at me, I could not help but take his picture.

Baby girl Mini album

2008-07-30T10:42:00.000-04:00

The pictures are a little out of order but you will get the idea! Thanks for looking

I made this mini album for my neighbor who had a baby girl this spring. I found it really hard to scrap mini with out pictures. I used a variety of papers the stamps , flourished are Scrapbook Takeout, the carriage is TAC and the lettering is CTMH, I also used my wishblade to cut out some of the flourished and the title cutie, thanks to the wonderful share files on the wishblade forum! Hope you enjoy!!!!

My first Scrapbook page post!

2008-07-26T12:34:00.000-04:00

Ok so I have been in a scrapbooking slump for the last several months. Yesterday I walked into my scraproom sat down and decided to just use what was on my desk, and here is what I came up with. I covered my daughters friend's face because I did not have permission to post her pic, so disregard the pink flower.

The cardstock is Colorbok,with the exception of the blue mat it was a scrap not sure whose though. The black swirls and black flowers , are actually stickers!!! and they are from Kelly Panacci, and the various flowers are Primas I believe,and two of the flowers on brown cardstock I cut out with my sizzix.

Well enjoy I hope this will be the start of my Mojo coming back!

Flowers and wierd umm.. mushrooms?

2008-07-24T18:59:00.000-04:00

I have not been feeling so great this week but tonight I went out on the porch and decided to take some pictures, we have black eyed Susan's growing in several places in the yard, which are my favorite, also I noticed these strange looking ummm... mushrooms growing in a flower pot by my front door, its been a wet, humid week so I guess that's why they popped up. LOL
Out in the back yard are Karlie's flowers she had to plant for a science project this past spring and they are really blooming now! She has sun flowers, and morning glories and green beans vining all over the deck. (see those pics below) I hope you enjoy the pics!

Feeding the Birds

2008-07-15T21:28:00.001-04:00

So the kids and I just loved watching the birds at my Moms birdfeeders when we were in PA a few weeks ago so we got some feed and put one out side our living room window. It took a couple of days but the birds found it. We have some young cardinals coming in to feed, we have never had cardninals in the yard before so the kids are excited. this picture was taken through the window and a screen, so its not real clear. This is our favorite little one, we call him spike becasue of his faethers, he is the only one that the feathers stick up on his head, you can see his red feathers coming in slowly that is why we think he is a male bird. any way just wanted to share our backyard birdies!

Made 2 more purses

2008-07-09T19:21:00.000-04:00

Hi all ,I have been asked to share the pattern, So here you go, Its McCalls M5443 its a Hillary Duff design. its really cute and comes with several purse patterns. in stead of making the ties, I found some pink ribbon that was an exact match and used it instead. much easier becasue the ties were a pain. Good luck and share with me when you make one would love to see it. I think I am going to make some more!

I made a purse

2008-07-02T12:13:00.000-04:00

I had to share the cute purse that I made for my daughter Karlie, she has been wanting me to use this fabric for quite a while to make he something, so here it is! The purse is lined in pink and has a nice stiff interfacing so it holds its shape really well. I might have to try a couple of more! LOL

I went on the first grade field trip today, boy talk about exhausting, I give all of you teachers out there all the kudos in the world because that is one job I just could not do! LOL We went to the Lynn wood park Zoo a small place with lots of birds a couple of baboons a zebra goats and various other animals. We also went to the Onslow County Museum, Where the kids got to do a fossil dig, the kids thought that was really cool. Cory found 6 shark teeth and 2 sting ray mouth plates. Really cool in our book! He was really excited!

Tornados did hit our town

2008-05-12T22:03:00.000-04:00

Well yesterday an EF-2 tornado did hit, in our town not to far from where I live.it was right at where Cory has boy scouts. A business was destroyed and I believe they said some homes were damaged and the church where boy scouts holds there meeting was badly damaged. A couple of people were injured but fortunately no one killed. It was really frightening, the kids who have been fighting like cats and dogs were holding hands trying to comfort each other. I even emptied the hallway closet in case we needed to get in. Steve and I kept pacing the windows and doors keeping a look out. Its really frightening all this weather we have been having lately. I hope that everyone else has remained safe during these storms.

Tornado Warnings!!

The wind was swirling

Tonight has been pretty scary! We have had some pretty severe weather, We had Tornado warnings for the last 3 hours. It now seems to be passing over, but I managed to get some pics in while trying to keep the kids calm.
