Tonight I got word from my great friend Dottie that her dear Dad had passed away. My heart is breaking for her. They hadn't even made it back from Utah from her Grandmothers funeral when they got word that her dad was gone. He had pancreatic cancer and it took him quickly. Please keep her and the family in your thoughts and prayers as I know the road ahead will be hard.

Well today was Lyla's birthday party. She was so cute today. I think she really enjoyed her 2nd birthday. She even had a Mickey Mouse and friends cake. Happy Birthday kiddo! Being an "Uncle" is so much fun!

{44}

I just realized it was Friday the 13th. Oh well. . . .it has never had any effect on me. Anyways, I spent today in the scrappin room working on a Birthday gift for Lylas party tomorrow! She just loves books and loves loves loves pictures. So I made her a quick mini album of some pictures of her. Hope she likes it!

So its Thursday night. . . . . . and I have something to admit to you all. I have a serious addiction and the major problem is: I don't think that there is any cure out there for what I have. Ok ok ok, I know I need to share. I have greysanatomy-itis. I am hooked! Its the really the one thing that I look forward in every week. Ahhh..... I just love this show. If your not currently a watcher of this, you need to be!!!! As you can tell from the pict, I have all seasons, and season 4 courtesy of Lindsey. I got her also addicted to this. It started when she was laid up from knee surgery and I loaned her my 3 seasons. Then she was hooked and went out and got season 4 and then out of the goodness of her heart she gave me season 4 for my collection! Thanks so much!!! Its such a great show (I think Bob is even hooked, but I'm pretty sure he wouldnt admit it to the "manly men"). Is anyone else out there secretly loving "McDreamy or McSteamy"?????????

Happy Birthday to Miss Lyla!!! Today she turns 2 years old. Oh how these last two years have flown by. Seems like she was just born. And now she is running constantly, never missing a beat and she is really chatting up a storm. I think she changes daily! So today Uncle Bub and Uncle MeMe are headed up to spend the afternoon and evening with sweet little Lyla. Gotta go and have some cake and ice cream with her. They are having an actual B-day party for her on Saturday with her cousins and friends. So I will post pictures.

I love this picture of her with her hand on her face, its like saying "Uncle MeMe enough pictures already". Cracks me up. The other one is her riding Libby her horse.

Well here is a picture of Jager today. I am sure by the end of this you will be all sick and tired of looking at Jager and I am sure that she will also be fed up with me taking photos of her. Oh well. . . . . . for now she is our kid until the time comes. Its amazing how attached you get to your pets. They truly become one of the family. We will be heading out of town in a month for a conference/workshop in Idaho and it will be so hard to leave her behind for a week. I am sure it will be harder on me than it will be her. I guess I have to tell myself "she is only a dog", but still she is my puppy dog. :) Today I made her sit and wait while I took her pict on the road that she runs on daily. Right now she is running about 2 or more miles per day and loves every minute of it. Its so amazing how fast she can run for still being a pup.

Time. . . . . It controls every little bit of all of us. Have to be here by then, leave in 5 minutes, appointment at 11 am, time for dinner, time for this, time for that, time time time time . . . . I know that we all wish we had more time for certain things. The clock just seems to just fly by on certain days and other days not. I just wish there was an easy way to manage our time more wisely. I wish that there was an easy solution, but I dont think that there is. Simply because we all have lives, jobs, spouses, kids, etc. And those things require our time.

But on one note, I am glad that over these past 4 plus years that I have always made the time for my gram. Yesterday I got a phone call from my sister that my gram had been taken to the hospital. She was not responding normally, and having a very ruff time, so they took her in to get checked out. Later my dad called to say that everything checked out ok, and she would be heading back to her assisted living home. Scary scary. . .but glad all is well. I am on my way to Lewistown to do her hair for her, which always makes a her feel better.

Today Bob is working evening shifts till 1o pm, so the house is quiet tonight since it is just me and the puppy dog. It has been a pretty non productive day, I napped for a while, computer time, thought about scrapbooking (never got anything done), played with Jager, and a few little things that needed done around the house. Jager was good today so I took her to DQ for a little treat. She got her very own icecream cone. So I just had to snap some pictures of her since I didnt have anything else to share today. Also I think I am getting sick. I have been congested, very tired, glands are swollen, and feel like a sore throat is comin on. Hopefully the nap today will help and tomorrow I will wake up a new person. I hope . . . . . .

I think we all have routines that we do every morning. Some people are exactly the same (my husband) and some are very random (me). Its just the way our brains are programmed I guess. It justs makes us who we are and how we work. So today as I was getting ready for the day, I was fixing my hair and realize that hairspray is usually always a part of my day, whether its at home getting ready for the day or at work while working on my clients hair. I dont think it always works like the name- however I would like to make everybody sexy! But I guess . . . . . . . . . . "I am a beautican not a magician".

Today I was off, and was so nice to get some house work done and the never ending laundry. It just feels good to get everything back in order. Today I recieved my Creating Keepsakes magazine in the mail and on the cover is one of my fav's - Becky Higgins. I blogged about her a while ago, because I just love her sketches. I cant wait to get a little time to go thru and read it. Happy Friday to you all!

Well the week is flying by again! I am still having a hard time believing that we are in 2009 let alone in February already. Well I guess we all have no choice other than to get up everyday and make the most of it. The good thing is . . . . . .spring is not far away! This is a calendar kit from Basic Grey that I made.

I threw this together the other day for our entryway as you come in our front door. I got the silks at Michaels & the sign at Real Deals. I just like something by our door it just makes it so much more home-e-er. (i know thats not a word but o well). I thought the reds would be great since Valentines day is just around the corner. Today has came and almost gone in just the blink of an eye. I was super busy at work today, not even time for lunch, and then back home already. Ate supper with my hubby-which we ate gourmet tonight- mac n cheese & hotdogs. Posting this and now off to bed to do it all over again tomorrow.

Wow how the time is flying by. . . . I cant believe we are already into February. Today I am sharing a photo of my scrap space. It is so nice to have a place to be able to scrap whenever you want. Bob and I re-did this room ourselves. It was originally his office/guitar room before me, but now its "our" office and my scrap room. We laid the laminate wood flooring down and painted (it needed it bad- it was bright blue with a huge gold sun on the wall) and we put in the counter tops and cupboards too. It turned out great. I am happy with the results. Tonight my friend Lindsey is coming over to scrap with me. I cant wait. It will be a blast.

Well today we headed off to Lewistown to do Grams hair. Bob had today off so he went too. Gram was having one of those not so good days. Its so hard to see her like that. She was really confused and I think she has a real hard time with dreams. She thinks that they really happen and gets so confused about them and has a hard time jumping back into whats really goin on. But on a better note, we took a drive to the Mtns. so Bob could get some fresh Spring water for brewing his beer. He has plans to brew a Maibock tomorrow since he is off then too. So while we were in the mtns I took a picture of where we where getting water and also a photo of a snow roller. Looks kinda like a life saver. I was surprised that there wasnt much snow in the woods.

How was everybodys superbowl? Ours was great. We had friends over for a superbowl party. Most of us were rooting for the Cardinals and a few for the Steelers. Glad the game got interesting towards the end because it made it more fun as we were rooting against each other. I enjoy having people over, gives us a chance to visit, but also gives me a reason to bake fun stuff too. I made a few new dips, and even some sweet treats. Jager even enjoyed the game. She had her 3D glasses on to watch at the end of the second quarter. The grocery store was handing these out today and had I known that everybody thought these were so cool, I would of got more. I thought 8 would be plenty but I should of got about 8 more. Oops. Hopefully my team will do something next year. Go Chiefs!
