Summer is slowly heading out of here...

And I do mean slowly...it is still way up in the 90's here and very humid. It will cool down soon, it will cool down soon, it will cool down soon!! At least that is what the calendar is saying. Yes I am a cool weather person...I can't help it, I am. The grandbabie's have been enjoying what is left of the warm weather with some pool time. Seth who is 4 is swimming pretty good on his own now and Sion who is 2 is becoming quite a water baby too! They love it when Uncle Boo swims with them. His name is Christopher, but when Seth was little that was quite a mouth full for him to say...Uncle Christopher...it kinda came out "Unka Foo" and eventually ended up being "Uncle Boo." And it stuck.
And guess what else? Seth started pre-K....yes my baby is going to school!!! How did that happen!!!!!???? Oh he loves it... so far he is doing very well and getting those "green apples" (this is a good thing!) and getting to get a prize out of the treasure chest each Friday. He is such a big boy and a good big brother...and yes he is just 4.

Sion likes to "drarw" while bubba is at school...
This is an octopus wearing sunglasses....I see it!! Don't you???
I made a birthday card a few days ago for my mom. The flower is a TAC stamp that I colored with my Prisma pencils and gamsol...twice. The first image was embossed with my Cuttlebug. The second one I "colored" and then very carefully cut it out...love my Tim Holtz scissors by Tonic...and then pop dotted to the first image. There is a glittery yellow button from American Crafts Elements in the center tied with embroidery floss. The paper is from Graphic 45...Domestic Goddess. I just love Graphic 45! The bottom was punched with a punch from Martha Stewart.
And last but not least...I have a new dog...no not really, same dog. He had gained a couple of pounds and had gotten very sluggish, grumpy and slept all the time. He also started having seizures. A trip to the vet and some blood work found he has a thyroid problem...did you know that dogs can have thyroid problems??? Anyway, he is now on thyroid meds twice a day. We noticed almost immediately that he seemed to be perking up. He has been on it a month now and is back to his old self...playful, full of energy, and wants to go outside and run EVERYWHERE...several times a day...wears me out...lol. He goes back to the vet tomorrow for more blood work to check his levels. I bet he has lost those 2 lbs.

Well I am going to run for now, it's time to get ready to go back to church. I will...

Spring Has Sprung...

well sorta...lol

Here in North Florida we have had a pretty nice week. Temps hovered around the low to mid 70's and it has been breezy. I actually worked in my yard a bit, weeding the weed beds...er I mean flower beds. Why is it that freezing temps don't kill weeds???

When the temps crawled out of the 30's and 4o's the grandkids were able to get outside for a bit. They are like most little ones, they enjoy being outside. Be-Pa (Seth could not say Grandpa, now the name has stuck) got the 4-wheeler out and rode the kids around and around and around the yard. They loved it!! Neither one was ready to get off when it was time to put it away.
Here are a couple of pics of the boys I took in Feb. They are growing up so fast! Seth decided he wanted to try and take some pics with Nana's camera...we had alot of feet, butts, legs...of course this is his eye level, but he did manage to get a good picture of Jasper our Shih tzu. He is my constant companion.
I did manage to photograph a card that I made and also a puzzle that I worked on for a swap. It was so much fun. Twelve ladies participated and each in turn received a completed 12 piece puzzle. Each gal picked a theme and colors. This pic is what I made for the other gals. I haven't got a pic of mine yet, will do that later and post it. I also finally started a book of me (BOM). I handmade the cover out of chipboard and decorated it. I am slowly working on the inside. I'll make sure I post some pics. I have been going through some old slides that we inherited from my uncle. Some of these I will make into pics for this book. They are pics of me when I was a baby and we lived in Michigan.

Well, that is all for now, but I will be back soon to update you on what is going on and what I am up to.
