august it kit and koenigsfeld reunion pictures...

ok - this has to be fast because the packers are coming TOMORROW and we are not even close to being ready at all. ack! inbetween (well or instead of) packing i've been sneaking in some photo editing and scrapping. i've posted some of my koenigsfeld reunion pictures on my flickr account but i still have a lot more to go through. we sure miss the beach and the pool and toga's awesome meals and all of our aunts and uncles and cousins!

i made a little mini album for our florida picts with august's it kit. it's 4 1/2 x 6 so when i'm done editing the rest of my pictures i can just put a little strip of paper on them and stick them in the album with the journaling pages. i made the covers from the chipboard in the package of canvas letters. i love those letters! the postage frame stamp on the top is from an older it kit (sorry i can't remember what month) and the bottom lines are from this month's kit. i love those bazzil borders! so quick and easy! the other page, obviously, is from wilson's first plane ride. he loved it! he especially loved the treats of getting pop and gum. he's still talking about that. lol! i really would like to stitch those squares down and stitch along the plain contrails and maybe around some other parts too. in my spare time. ;) my machine is really temperamental (boy that's not spelled right). i'm always afraid to stitch right on my page because inevitably i always get a thread jam and rip the paper. so frustrating! maybe i can hand stitch. later! lol! ok - speaking of later - time to run! :)

happy birthday ella!!!

i can't believe my sweet ella is already 5!!! it seems like yesterday that kurt and i were speeding along i-10 in san antonio in our purple cavalier trying to get to the hospital faster. we had quite the day today. apparently yesterday while i was out shopping for presents ella decided to throw herself a birthday party. she even gave out invitations and told everyone the party was at 2:00 pm. and that they had to bring presents if they came. stinker!!!!!!!! well most of our neighbors are in daycare so i kind of figured ella knew it was just a game and not going to happen. well, at 1:45 one mom came by to see if we really were having a party. and at 2:00 3 neighbors showed up on our door. i was just getting wilson to bed so i hadn't even showered yet. so i made them watch camp rock for a little while so i could get things ready. then we did hair and makeovers. i think it turned out to be a pretty fun party, considering it wasn't planned. well and that we had to eat our birthday cake on thanksgiving and christmas paper plates. lol!

who's on first?

wilson keeps saying "i want wunch."
so i ask, "what do you want for lunch?"
and he says, "eat!"
and i ask, "what do you want to eat?"
and he says, "wunch!"
i've fixed 3 or 4 different things
but apparently they aren't "wunch."
lol!!!
