Scrapbooks

I found a scrapbook that I really like. I have a few from Creative Memories, but they are so expensive to buy more. I am really liking this one. I am on the hunt for more of them. So far, I've searched Dogpile and Amazon, with no results. I can't believe that Amazon let me down. I shop there weekly and have never not been able to find something. It was awful to not be able to find them. I'm going to keep searching though. I actually bought it from Wal-Mart, but they only had boy colors, so I thought for sure I would be able to find girly colors online. I will keep up my hunt and let you know how it goes. I'm also going to post some pictures from our trip to Nanny's house. It was so much fun, and so dang relaxing!!! More to come............

Catch Up

It seems like every time I do good with blogging, I fall off again and don't do so good. I'm going to get better. Well after next week because I'm going to be gone this weekend! We have been busy enjoying our summer. We've been blueberry picking, hung a tire swing for Kameron, visited my family in Onalaska, I finished a baby-shower present for a friend, taught Kameron how to use my camera, kinda, Kaydence learned to stand up on her own, and had to return our Wii Fit :(
More details:

We went blueberry picking, not once, but twice. We will be going again to get some more for family. We gave some to my grandma and she was so excited about getting them. She mentioned that if we were going back, that she would love some more, so it looks like we will be heading back out.


We hung a tire swing for Kameron. We were going to hang it close to the house, but Adam said the higher we hang it, the higher Kam would go. So, the tire swing is tied way up high in a tree. Kam sure loved it though. He was going so high. I thought I picked out a tire that he would be able to see over, but not quite yet. Soon he should be able to!

We went up to Onalaska for the weekend. We got to visit with a lot of my family from my dad's side. It was great! I really miss them and don't quite realize it until I get to see them again. We visited and played games and just spent time together. My parents were up there so we got to spend Father's Day with my dad, it was nice.

Woohoo, I finished a present that I am making for Amber. I would love to post a picture, but she reads this and I don't want to ruin the surprise. It's great though. I was so happy to see how well it turned out!! You're gonna love it, I promise!!!! lol

I was taking some pictures of Kaydence, trying to capture the new thing that she learned and Kameron wanted so bad to take some pictures. I showed him what button to push and how to make sure that he could see what he wanted to take a picture with. He got a good one of me and Kaydence and then I took one of the three of us. Happy memories!!



Kaydence learned to stand up on her own. When we were at my grandma's house, I thought that I saw her standing up, but when I said something, she fell back down. Then, yesterday, she was doing it again and I quickly grabbed my camera for a Kodak moment! She is gonna be walking soon.


And last but not least, we had to return our Wii Fit. The stupid thing would play sometimes and then not play other times. I am hoping that it was a problem with the disk, and not the console. It is going to be so depressing if we have to reset the system. We will loose everything. Not good. But, I returned it and of course they didn't have another one, so now I'm on another mission to find another one. I let you know how it goes.

Wii Fit

Well, we got our wii fit yesterday. We basically set it up and added all of us to the Fit Plaza. It weighs you, measures your BMI and tracks your progress. It wants you to set goals and talks to you each time you log in on making progress towards your goal. It seems pretty cool. It kinda sucked seeing my reality out there, on the TV. But, in a way, it inspired me to try to work harder at losing this weight and eating healthier. Adam and I have been doing so much better on healthier eating. Now, if I could just get in more exercising it would really help. Anyways, I'm going to be a hula hoop master!!! I can spin 5 hoops at a time and keep em going strong! I am loving our wii fit and recommend it to everybody that has a wii. I know a few of you guys do, and I actually think you have wii fit, but I know of some that don't have the wii fit, It's Awesome!!!! Hopefully it will help me stay accountable because it weighs me daily and tracks my BMI. We will see.

I'm Hooked

So, I wasn't going to read them, who wanted to read a book about vampires right? Well, it turns out that I did!! Several times to be exact. Who would have thought that the Twilight Series would have captured my attention like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I just didn't see it coming. A friend of mine, Nicole, was talking about it on her blog, so I ordered the 1st book from Amazon. I started it at11:30 the night it came in and finished it the next morning at 3:45. I read nonstop for 4 hours. It was awesome. I messaged her at 3:45 and told her I was going to be needing the next one in the series. I overnighted the 3rd one to me from Amazon. I finished all three of them in 2 days. They are crazy good. It's so hard to describe them to someone, talking about vampires and werewolves, people decide they don't want to start. If they only knew what they were missing. They were so good and I can't wait until August 2 for the 4th one to come out, Breaking Dawn. WOOOHOOO!! Thanks Nicole, for introducing them to me.

They are making a movie for the first book, Twilight. This is a preview for the movie. Looks Good!!
