We are here!

Wow - what a crazy, busy week it has been! We are trying to get settled in - so many boxes to unpack. I forgot how much time and effort moving takes. Wow! We had a good first week though - thanks to all my family, especially my mom and sister that helped me out with the kids a lot and unpacking. My Mom is superwoman - I don't know how she has the energy to do it all. Thanks Mom!

Madisyn started her new school today - I think I'm more nervous about it all than she is! She will ride the bus tomorrow for the first time. We had carpool at her old school in St. George so this is all new to her - and me. I'm nervous about her getting on the right bus and getting off at the right stop. It's all just so new. And I'm protective - and nervous! LOL! Silly, I know. She has a wonderful teacher, it looks like, and it was fun to see her in her new classroom today. She is so outgoing and I know that she will quickly make friends and do great! I was a little sad to see her go though - I love having her around.

I finally started unpacking some stuff into my new scrapbook room and worked on some things I've been meaning to do for a long time in my room last night. I plan to take pictures today or tomorrow and share some things in my new space...most of it is still in boxes - lot to do! :)

I did want to share with you my new 'A Year of You' class at Twopeasinabucket.com that went up on Feb. 20. I really enjoyed working on this layout and the 4x6 photo flip album on the right hand side. It was a fun way to add lots of photos and journaling to my page.

I hope that you'll join me and have fun creating a layout about your month of February! :) I'm loving this process thus far - so fun!

Well, I'm off to get Madi from school (short-day today) and to take Jaxon to the Dr. He has been really sick with the yuckiest cold! I feel so bad for him!

Have a good day! I'll be back with some new scrapbook picts hopefully tomorrow! :)

A work in progress...

It's almost all packed up and ready to go...it's such a weird feeling! Pictures down, nothing in my closet...it's almost all gone...except for the mess that you see right there! LOL! Things have been just crazy busy and I feel like I'm hanging on by a string...but we will get there and get settled in soon.

I am excited to do some new decorating though! We've been in this house for almost 4 years (so crazy) and we've added and changed some things - but I'm excited for a fresh start. Move things around - change things up a bit. I've got some super fun plans and I can't wait to share them here once we get settled in! :)

A few random things....

1. Happy birthday to my hubby tomorrow!!! I hope that you have a FABULOUS day! We love you tons!!

2. My dad is speaking at the BYU Devotional tomorrow at 11 am MT on KBYU (I think that's right)! LOL! If your interested in watching - it's live and I'm really excited to see it! Wish I could of been there - next time right!

3. The new garden went up - 9 days ago! LOL! Geez - things are crazy! Here are my two layouts for the 1st...

My new fav! This is going to replace my 'Countdown to Christmas' project in the front entry way frame. Here are more details at Two peas.

And the theme for this month is all about 2 Peas 10th Birthday this year! In celebration, we are to share/create from things that we have been inspired by. This one is a lift from Cathy Blackstone - whom I have admired and just loved for years! More details here.

All the Garden Girls did amazing work this month! If you haven't checked it out - be sure to! It's fabulous stuff!

Ok - well hopefully I'll be back before we move, but if not, I'll check in early next week! :) Hope you have a fabulous week! :)
