~Learning can be fun! *Chicken too*~

Good morning!!!

I did not scrap yesterday but let me show you why :)

*I actually did scrap but it's all top secret for Provocraft*

We had a wonderful day full of family and friends.

We took the boys to Chattanooga to the Tennessee Aquarium,

thanks for my in laws who gave us a season pass *yea*

They had fun and we had a wonderful day!

I just love having these amazing days.

We really are blessed to be so lucky.

We don't have to get drunk or party to have a great time!

Nope we get high on love and family. What I always wanted.

Days like this make me really appreciate a great family

and even better friends in my life.

Tired of the pictures yet? :) Sorry I just had to share

Blown Glass Art *loves it!*

They even have a butterfly exhibit where you walk and

touch butterflies, they love pink hair!

My son's favorite *Seahorses*

Before the butterflies we saw birds in the open no cages

Color!!!!!!

I am a lucky mom!

Anyways it was a wonderful day, one of those

days we will remember for a long time.

Hopefully one of those days my kids look back on and say

"Remember that mom?"

Thanks for sharing in my non-scrappy life

and I have one more picture for ya!!

CHICKEN!!!!!!!! :) hahaha

I finally got a picture of my favorite chicken the black one.

I totally love her! :) I wish she would

look at the camera, but she is shy LOL

Have a wonderful Sunday!

~Back to scrapping today!~

~Happy Independence Day!~

Good morning my friends,

I wanted to take a moment and just say
Happy Independence Day America and
everyone who celebrates the holiday!

I spent yesterday baking and preparing for today.

We are looking forward to friends coming over
and having a wonderful day as a family.

With plenty of food and plenty of fun!

I wanted to also share MY personal favorite part
of our new home. The beautiful Mimosa Tree that shades
the front porch. My hubby affectionately calls it
his "Pink Hair" tree....it's so nice to have the shade.

We also have some lilies and roses coming
up around my Black Cherry Trees.
I am so thankful today for our freedom and our
lives. It's a beautiful way to celebrate today.

Happy 4th my friends!
I hope you have a beautiful day with alot of love.

~More Paris Creativity Fun & Blog Hop is coming!!

Good morning my crafty friends,
I did manae to eek out one layout this weekend.
I LOVE taking papers you might consider girly
and making them work for me...

I have the Paris Creativity Paper Pad and it is filled with stars and
stripes and bling, perfect for BASEBALL!
So here is my first official baseball layout.

Sports themed layouts are all new for me so I felt funky
and a little off, *don't be too hard on me* BUT my so woke up
this morning and when he saw it he FREAKED OUT!
"MOM you scrapped me in my uniform!! I love this mom thanks!!"
And you know what? If he gets that excited about my layout
then who cares if it's trendy or in a magazine!

I am sooooo giving him some of this Paris Creativity paper,
he will definitely have fun playing with it and creating!

We had quite a weekend, 2 baseball game to start with a bang,
and ended on Sunday with a Renaissance Festival. NONE of use had ever
been to one before, and it was very interesting to say the least.
This is the castle that we visited and toured.
It is actually a home that one man built from the ground up.
Crazy right??

He had a dream and literally brick by brick built it.
He said it is not done and never will be, it began 30 years ago and still
needs so much work.

This is in the upper area, the boys thought it was so cool!

A kick butt owl we saw...at the bird show.

Amazing birds that flew all over and did tricks.

The jousting match, the boys LOVED this!
I was very distracted by this dragonfly during the match, I missed most of
it because I was photographing the dragonfly LOL
Then some kid came up with his wooden sword and whacked at it.
I was happy I got my shot in before he tried to knight the poor bug!

Ok on to crafty news...
BLOG HOP
