Back in sunny Oceanside!

We drove all night! left Sonoma at 9pm and we were home by 5am I drove the first 350 miles! now just trying to catch up and do some laundry! does it ever end? It was a good family weekend!, sad but good!

Friday Night

I must admit I am not very good at blogging! But I am trying!
Tonight I got to scrapbook some more with my friends and we had a fun night!
I finished an album I wanted to get done before the weekend!
We are traveling up north to say farewell to my husbands brother Benjamin, he was a funny guy who was love very much by his family, friends and my girls!

Oceanside Nice!

I am a bit tired today, did not get much sleep last night from scrapbooking! and had so much fun, I really enjoyed the beauty of Oceanside today, the weather, the trees and being able to see the ocean. I will probably be up tonight scrapbooking also! and catch up on my sleep tomorrow! did some great pages! and had fun with my friends Marylinn and Grace, also Marylinn daughter Hanna join in the fun! and Madeline created a couple of fun scrapbooks herself! it is so fun to see kids do art with little to no boundaries! (except I was jut not ready to share my plethora of scrapbooking supplies! note to self buy her, her own scrapbook supplies!) my favorite store in Vista, Everafter is having a huge garage sale this month I will take her to that to pick up some items for her!

I wanted to share some pages I have done....

I was very excited about being able to create this album for my mother in law about her son's wedding. The commitment ceremony of Benjamin Kaufman & Joyce Calderon it was a fun day for all, the weather was great, the ceremony was beautiful, the cake was yummy and we had a good time with family and friends. and here are some of the pages! tada! can't have a blog titled scrap with no scrapbooking involved!

This month has just gone by way to fast!

I was checking google reader and realized I have not blogged in almost 3 weeks!
Yikes! were has all that time gone! I can tell you that Oceanside has finally reached the summer temperature we like. That my girls like! we have had some fun weeks in summer camps, and swimming lessons, and now that my hair is dry we need a break and will pick up those lessons back in August. I need to start buying school uniforms again!
Something sad happened this week, my girls told me to get rid of their Dora underwear! no more Dora! they are just to old for it I guess! I wonder if the toys will be gone next? that makes me sad! I am thinking they are just to young to be done with Dora, or maybe I am just not ready for them to grow up! I am having a fun summer with them! I love them and thanks to Daddy I can do that! Thanks honey you are the best! love me!

Happy 4th of July 2009!

It is late and I am getting ready to go to sleep! looking forward to tomorrow when I will get to do some scrapbooking yeah!

We had a fun 4th, we baked cupcakes, we went to the Murphy's house for a fun family BBQ, My dad and Yolanda were there as well as my brother and his family, my cousins and ant, the kids had a great time, the food was yummy (We did miss my husband who sadly was not there!)

We left the Murphy's house in Encinitas by 8 pm to meet our neighbours in vista to see the fireworks, and just as the fireworks started my hubby showed up the girls were so happy to see their father, as well as I was. This was the first

time in 4 years were we have all been together and actually got to watch the fireworks! and guess what happened! MY CAMERA BATTERY DIED! SO SAD! I TOOK ONE PICTURE OF THE FIREWORKS THAT IS IT! AND NOW I AM THINKING IT WAS BLURRY! but it was a wonderful time had by all! and the only family picture I will have this year of this holiday was taken by a blackberry!

Fun weekend at CKC Pasadena

Today I just had to post on the fun weekend I had with my girlfriends at CKC Pasadena.
Considering the title of my blog has the word "Scrap" which means I love to scrapbook and I would like to eventually add some pictures of some of my work, but have not had time! and I need more time! with that said I hope to be able to scrap soon!

We had some much fun at CKC Pasadena, took some classes learn new techniques, some which I will not even attempt to try again, but the goody bag had enough product to make a whole album! so I want to get started with making some! I also like to create albums for family and friends, I have way to many unfinished projects that I need to do soon!

It is summer and the kids can play outside while I can bring my things down to the garage and try to get some of my creative thoughts out on paper!

This weekend is fathers day and with that I would like to say happy fathers day to my dad! love you and see you next week! and to my hubby you are a fun dad! and the kids just love you!
