What a weekend!!
Well this weekend didn't start out very nice to us. Let me set it up for you.
Mason got htat huge waterslide for his birthday and on Saturday morning the kids wake up and go outside in their pj's at 7 am turn the water slide on and go to town. It started to heat up so they shed the pj's and running around just in the skivvies. A little while later I hear some bickering between the 2 kids so i know they are hammering out their differences and praying to god that Melana isn't whipping up on Mason to bad. Ahhh peace and quiet..until I decide I must go to the bathroom and all of a sudden I hear some blood curling screams and hoopin and hollaring going on outside. It's one of those where you know something is wrong...so i am rushing to get to the back door and Melana is standing there and I am trying to ask her what is wrong and at this point she is screaming so bad she can't breath. I happen to look down and she is covered from her knees to her toes in 1259658455874 ants. Yes that's right ANTS!!! So I scoop her up and the closest thing to me to try and get them off is the waterslide...well buddy,....we hit it full force....i am doing my best to get all these freaking ants off of my baby. So i get them off i rush her into the bathroom pour a huge bottle of alcohol on her legs to try and relieve the itching until I can get her the Atarax and cream on her legs. Within 5 minutes her legs and feet and swollen up so bad i started to freak out. I called Elizabeth to hurry and run over and look to see if I needed to take her to the hospital. We both agreed we would just keep an eye on it. They had fever in them and she seemed to be "ok" at the moment. So I pick her up and ask her where she got into the ants and we go outside and around the corner (i have a big corner lot) and she went behind oneil's shed to "pick me flowers" and they were by the "white thing" (the drain in the back) so i go and look and i tell ya...i would have never thought that was an ant bed. It just look like flat dirt and it wasn't aht big at all. Her leg started looking worse and then she had 2.4 million little puss bites all over her legs...they looked so bad. To bad to even take a picture cause i swear child services would come and get my arse! That my peeps was my Saturday. As of today the swelling is still there but we did manage yesterday to pop them and lather her up in neosporin and tall socks. She looks like a glazed donut from the knees down.
For mother's day my babies got me this beauty:
Now I had already bought myself some dies a month ago when i saw them on sale somewhere anticipating I would eventually get one. I had been coaching my little man to tell his daddy he wanted to buy me the cuttlebug for mother's day. Then he was so proud of himself when he "vremembered" the name of it. Funny kid! My "bug" collection is complete for now.
So what did everyone else get? Oh yeah and I got to sleep in until 9 o'clock...now that my friends was the best of all!

Happy Birthday Mason
As I sit here and type this it just melts my heart to know that my baby boy turned 5 today. I reflect back on the day he was born and just cannot believe how fast time has gone by. the thought of him starting kindergarten just eats me up. He is excited to go to "big boy" scholl but momma is not. When they start school that is it. What innocence they have will be lost. My biggest fear is when will he really find out there is NO santa claus? I know that is crazy to worry about but isn't that what having kids is all about? Isn't it all about the make believe and seeing their face light up on christmas or easter or when the tooth fairy leaves them money? Oh well what can ya do?
This morning we got up and he saw his present on the table. His daddy bought him that double decker or double something blow up water slide that is like 6 or 7 feet maybe even 8 feet tall. heck I don't know I do know it is BIG! The first thing he said this morning was OH I LOVE IT. YOUR the best mom. I said aw thanks buddy but daddy bought you that. He said aww but YOUR still the best. I said "shhh! we don't tell daddy that" he chuckled and ran to the room to wake up O'Neil and give him hugs kisses and thanks for his awesome present. I will post pics of his "awesome present" later tonight. Until then here are some of my favorites of my little man!
I love you Mason Bryce!

Scrappy Happy!
This one is for Noel's Store. I had fun playing with the cosmo cricket line. For product information you can click here.
This is a 2 page spread. I am not to crazy about the way it turned out because I had something different in my head. Oh well...not as bad as this next one I am reluctantly going to post. I hate this next one with a passion. So much that I am not sure if I am even going to put it in my "All about me book". Maybe the more I look at it the more I will like it...or...maybe not! I don't know. I really stepped outside my box.
okay anyway...move on...
So while I was sitting outside enjoying the 80 degree weather on Sunday damn near about to fall asleep Mason and Melana start singing Desperado. So I quickly jumped up and asked them if I got my camera and recorded them would they sing it again for me. Needless to say they did and this is it....so hysterical. It was all I could do in order to keep the camera from shaking because I was laughing so hard...
ENJOY!
now it's working for me so if it doesn't work and you want to see some funny stuff email me or leave a comment with your email address and I will email it to you...
My Scrappy Goodness
WoW National Scrapbooking Day was a blast. Elizabeth and I had so much fun.
We scrapped and scrapped and scrapped and scrapped. We do not talk when we scrap. We watch...err...listen to Sex in the City on DVD and work away. Neither of us like to talk when we scrap that breaks the mojo and we just can't have that.
This layout here is for Noel's Online Store. I am still working on the Lily Kate collection from Basic Grey.
All the tags on the left are numbered in order listed for everything I am.
This layout here was of Mason in Bay St. Louis waiting on the Ferry to take us across the bay so we could head back to Biloxi. The bridge completly fell apart and collapsed during Hurricane Katrina so this is an alternate way to get across the water. We don't take it very often because it takes an extra hour and a half or longer to get home.
My love of toe socks
These next ones are for a graduation present I did for the girl at daycare who helps out with the kids. She is such a sweet girl and Mason and melana just love her to death. This is using the BG Scarlet letter collection which can be purchased here.
cover
i added a white glittery flower with a red button on the red stripe. I already took the pic before I found what I was looking for.
There are roughly 10 more pages but I already gave it to her and forgot to take the pictures. I was a little flustered last night so i was in a fog!
I have more but i am lazy and don't feel like uploading them now so i guess i will tonight or tomorrow...who knows!
BTW MOM ...Melana refused to take her school pictures AGAIN!...grrrr!!! Go figure!

Mail love and Random Pics
First I would like to thank Connie for the awesome princess fabric she sent me along with all kinds of princess goodies. I haven't taken a pic yet because I do not want Melana to see it and be on me like beans on rice to make her something. That would require me to pull out the sewing machine and quite frankly...i am not in the mood to sew...Guess what I am in the mood for though...you got it...SCRAPPING!
Next I would like to thank Mary Ann for the pin cushions I have been drooling over.
Now you think with needing to sew and new pin cushions I would want to break out sewing machine but once again I DO NOT. NOT JUST YET! I have however, already put my fabulous pin cushions to use though.
Hope everyone rocked National Scrapbooking Day. I will be rockin it all month! Any old excuse to celebrate! I didn't however get as much done as I dreamed I would..but oh well...something is better than nothing. I will be posting with my pages soon.
In the meantime my compadre Nancy tagged me to list 5 ways I come up with things for my blog so here it goes..
1. My kids...Mason and Melana..it gives me a way to keep up with funny things they say or do without having to keep up with 5 million pieces of paper that eventually I will lose.
2. My scrappy goodness.. I get to post my stuff for my family to see. I don't get to see them as often as I would like :(
3. MY RAMBLINGS and occassional RANTS: Although i keep it to a minimum I do like to vent alot. I don't always put what I am thinking on here.
4. Events and dates: This is a good way for me to remember events and dates that I will forget 3 days after it happens. I tend to purge important things from my head but rest assured I can spew off some celebrity gossip or anything about trash tv that you throw at me. It's about what is truly important isn't it :)
5. My blog buddies: I love the cool peeps that I have met through blogging in person and on the "net". Everyone has inspired me one way or the other and I never would have "met" alot of you if Elizabeth hadn't talked me into this time sucking thing.
6. Accomplishments and set backs. I tend to make my list of things I want to do on here on occasion. Sometimes i do them, sometimes I don't. More times i don't but it is fun to just have good intentions.
Random Pics:
Nothing really going on except I am bringing down the house with all kinds of scrappy goodness. Will post later until I leave you with these

The proof is in the MUD!
Well here is a quick rundown for all the new readers I have since i started blogging.
My hubby, O'Neil, got a jeep for...well..nothing in particular..just because(i Bought it, aww that is sweet?) well i wanted to go mud riding and he said ...are you F*in crazy? I am not taking my jeep in the mud. he loves this thing. He has spent and ungodly amount of money on his beloved jeep to make it look "cool". he has a winch, he has the lights, he has this, he has big tires, he has that...so i thought ok we are going to have fun this summer...WRONG! It has been 2 years and all I here is no..no..no...no... so i stopped asking. I did have to ask him though why in the world would he get a winch on the front if he wasn't going to take it off road...his answer....
drum roll please.....
well because if people get stuck and I CAN GET THEM FROM THE PAVEMENT i can pull them out...
i just shake my head and say oh ok..makes perfectly good sense to me (eyes rolling)
then he tells me he needs a thing-a ma-bob..you can read that post here. FOR WHAT? It's not like you are climbing rocks and mountains in that thing...the only thing his "rock climber" (thats what his tag says) climbs is the pebbels he runs over on the skreet!
So anyways folks...back to the story....he pulls the jeep out the garage and washes it and pulls it back in. IT'S NOT DIRTY!! Now that you have the jist of it all you can appreciate the fact I finally got to take it in the MUD.. WOOT WOOT!! I am anxious to do it again that was a blast and the kids were saying let's do it again daddy...he thought we liked it to much so i bet we don't get to do it again for awhile.
Here are the pics to prove it.
Yeah baby yeah!! The jeep is no longer a virgin....
