Happy Easter !!

Happy Easter, Happy Spring!   Although here in AZ it is more like summer....

April is here and we are busy as ever!   Easter seemed very early this year and there is Jake's big double digit coming up this week so everything just snuck up on us...

We all joined Lifetime Fitness and had our first session yesterday...We are both a little sore today....  It is really a nice gym and the boys did rock climbing while we worked out and said they had a lot of fun!  

Had my body composition completed... yikes!!  I have a lot of work to do! 
Celebrated 20 yr anniversary with E n M and my parents!! Kids had a fundraiser night at Peter Piper Pizza and boys were in an ice cream eating contest!

  Enjoy recent pics!

Settling in....

Settling into the new work schedule and I have found I love routine....I have the ability to work from home, but until we are in a different house, I am kind of enjoying the routine of going to work. Plus, my commute isn't that long.   Eventually, I see myself working from home, but for now I am content....

I have been making more card art, it has been fun and so easy.. Rob and I still talk about having a coffee bar and this is where some of these will hang.....
I haven't even got to the winter and holiday ones!! Fun! 

I still am working on scrapbooking, cross stitch and knitting!! So much fun stuff and not enough time!

More gooey goodness.....

More pics from downtown...then we hit the Fractured Prune....we have heard of all the fuss..so we had to check it out.....Doughnuts=gooey goodness

Downtown

I have been wanting to go downtown to Heritage Square for their Phoenix Flea... it was today , so we all went down and it was so nice out!!   We found some treasures....boys picked out their choice of magnets or pins, I found a few choice magnets and the boys picked out some fabric reusable sandwich and snack bags... 
We then walked around downtown to cityscape.... we had lunch at The Arrogant Butcher....I have been before and it was delish!   As Owen says "I love downtown!

More card art

I'm really going to town...I  have a Spring one yet to make, but it is bigger and I will need a larger piece of paper and I haven't even started the winter/Christmas ones...

March Madness.....not really : )

I can not believe March is here!!  Went "live" for work this past Monday and it was a great week.  I will be part of a PR commercial for our department and will be filmed this next week....the director came to our cubicles and assessed our areas... we have actual lines!   I have finally become the actress I have always dreamed of.....ha-ha, wink wink
I have taken down my desk decor and family pics... I was hoping the boys would be in the background....

I have been busy putting more framed coffee cards together....it is so much fun and what a cheap thing to make...frames were $2, paper cheap and the cards were free....so if u are ever in a Starbucks...ask if they have people's empty gift cards... would love to have them...... I figure I will swap the pics out during the year depending on the season

Today we are going downtown Phoenix Flea...never have been down there for crafts, food and local art

February Fun

February is winding down and what a great week.   We are going "live" Monday March 2nd and I am excited and ready to get started.  I will still be working Monday thru Friday until we are fully staffed!!  So many things to come and to be a part of the beginning is exciting!!

I am trying to finish Gone Girl and then I  have some other books ready to read.....I'm really excited for the Fringe Hours....This is a constant struggle for me personally....  This weekend I am going to put some more SB pics together ...such a fun and easy craft...will post pics after...

Some valentine pics......j went to a birthday party at the skatepark and there was a professional skater there showng the kids some things.... then the kids got his autograph..... my moms are so talented!!  They made me an afghan and a fused glass candle holder--had to take a pic!!!   Robby got me some flowers, monster high girl and chocolate covered strawberries!!!!
