Have A Great Week!

Well its Monday...the day is finally here!  Its the day before my DS #2's 31st birthday, and the day he is due to arrive back home from Afghanistan!  I know it will be some time before he can reconnect with dear ole Mom, and that is perfectly ok!  I am just happy he is home safe and sound once again, and I hope he is able to spend some time at home taking it easy and enjoying his family!  I love you Nicholas!!!!

I surprised Isaac by picking him up at school at Friday, and he spent the entire weekned with Granny and Pap.  We did absolutely nothing extra-special but we had a good time doing it!  I got tickled at him...Saturday evening he was playing on the swing in the backyard, and was going to show off to me doing some kind of big spectacular trick when in midstream, he figured it was a bit more than he was willing to attempt.  When he stopped, I started teasing him, and said. "That's ok!  Granny loved her little weanie"  He immediately responded,
"Granny, I am not your weanie!  I am your Baby!"  Gary's (Pap) brother was out there and he chuckled and told me that his little boy whom is just a few months older than Isaac does not like it when he is called a baby, and immediately corrects them lets them know he is a big boy.  Of course, at times Isaac informs he is a big boy as well but I am so thankful he is still content, most of the time, being Granny's Baby.  I am really dreading the time, and I know it is approaching much too fast, when he 'outgrows' his visits to Granny and Pap.  The children of my oldest son find it incredibly boring here in the holler when they visit so they seldom come.  Therefore, I cherish the time I spend with Isaac for I do realize the sweet moments we now share are numbered.

I wanted to show you just a few more layouts I have created using Rina's Marshmallow Collection...remember, today is the last day to get the Marshmallow Addons at their introductory price!

Scrapping Today

There are so many other things I should be doing today on my 10th Wedding Anniversary but Hubby had to work, and I have so many pretties that I purchased on National Scrapbooking Day-well, I just want to play!!! And I want to remind you that today is the last day to grab Rina's NSD Grabbag at the incredibly low price of $2.95. This Grabbag is so huge-it is one that just can not be missed! I made the following layout for Rina's Scripture Challenge with the Joyful Awakening Stacked Papers which is just one of the hidden beauties in this bag! I made the next page for the SBE-Layout Inspiration Challenge . It is inspired by Tomorrows and Yesterdays by Danessa . I used Rina's Secrets in The Attic Page set and the In Memoriam Element Set by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes. It is a heritage page for the album I am working on for the Phelps Family Reunion. This next page was made for Build A Fairy Treehouse Challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps. For this challenge...

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I ca...

Anchors Aweigh

In 1906, Bandmaster Lieutenant Zimmerman was approached by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles with a request for a new march or fight song. Midshipman Miles was a member of the Naval Academy class of 1907. Miles and his classmates were eager "to have a piece of music that would be inspiring, one with a swing to it so it could be used as a football marching song, and one that would live forever." The two men reportedly worked out the tune and it was first called "Stand Navy Down The Field". "Aweigh", meaning to raise or hoist, comes from the nautical phrase "to weigh anchor". The current lyrics, as revised by George D. Lottman, were adopted in the 1920s, and it is now recognized as the U.S. NAVY Anthem. "Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry; We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh...
