New Fancy Pants!

Sorry its been so long...........i've been a slacker this month.  SO much going on - it seems like May is always our busiest month.  First i will share the 2 new Fancy Pants lines- then what we've been up to for the past 2 weeks!

The first of the 2 new lines is called Wishful Thinking - check here for projects from the other Design team members.  I love the soft colors in this line - the floral prints are so fun too!  I used the Silhouette to cut some of the big borders - the others with patterns are Fancy Pants sticker borders. 

Here is a card i made from the same line! The monogram stickers are so fun.
The next line is called Like Father like son - one of my favorite boy lines to date - love the greys in this line.
If you want to check out all the paper with each line - go here for the product catalog!!

So the 22nd of May we had the walk for Cystic Fibrosis - we had a fabulous turn out - more people than i've seen in all the years i've been going.  Its a 5k walk along the riverside- its beautiful - but this year we got hailed and snowed and rained on - it was quite an adventure.  But we finished and raised lots of money  - not sure the total - but thanks to all of those who supported.

We've been busy with baseball EVERY NIGHT of the week but Friday.  Ethan plays Monday and Wednesday and Mason plays Tue and Thurs - keeps us busy.  And Baylee is gearing up for her Dance review this weekend!

This last weekend i we went camping all weekend - just got home last night.  We bought a new 5th wheel - I LOVE it.  It has 4 beds in the back - an actual bedroom with a door for the kids - and our queen bed is on the opposite side of the trailor.  It's the perfect set up - instead of having to go in and put beds down when its time for them to go down and then tip toeing around when you come in for bed.  I can't bellieve i didn't even take pictures of it.  Next time.  I had the flu the first part of the trip and it was pretty miserable but felt better Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed the rest of the trip.  We had alot of family come up and BBQ Sunday afternoon.  Yesterday - we took flowers to Buddy's grave (our lab who passed away last fall).  It was really sad - its crazy how much of an effect he had on our lives and how much we still miss him.

Thanks for stopping by - hopefully i can keep up a little better - who knows - summer is so hard!  Even to find the time to scrapbook- but it is my therapy - helps me relax - i even made a few cards while we were camping.

Hugs

Back from Disney

- i have 437 pictures to sift through and decide which ones to share - i might have to break up in a few posts.  All i can say is that it was FABULOUS!  We were in great company and i only got sick once - and cried once - other than that and a few fits from Ethan - everyone was happy and had a great time.  We were in great company with the Nielsens and couldn't have asked for a better family to go travel with - we did the Disney Cruise with them too.  So back later with pics.

- trying to keep the house spotless - we put it on the market last week - and i didn't realize how hard it was to keep CLEAN for those phone calls saying we will be there in a hour.....3 kids makes that a little hard.
ETA: we will be in the same area - a few miles away - same ward too!  It may not happen - we only have 60 to sell our house - so far not luck!!

 - check out the new Lily Bee Design team to the left - so happy to be rejoining to the team and so excited to get to know all of the new members.  I think Lily Bee is going to do great things this year!

- I am ready to get crafty - going through withdrawels this last week but came home to my March Studio Calico Kit so packed with Spring colors - i'm getting it out tonight for sure.

 - we came back to snow on Saturday night but today it looks like SPRING out - supposed to be in the sixties this week - Yay!!  Which brings me to this layout that was in Creating Keepsakes first issue of  Scrapbooking Tips and Tricks.   How cute is Baylee - she is so little in these pics!  I did this layout well over a year ago and it got requested almost a year after being submitted - crazy right!


- going to make a batch of home made chicken soup and breadsticks for dinner and have family night tonight. Dean is going to help the boys finish up their lego sets they got from Disneyland.  And Baylee and I will probably play UNO - her new favorite game - we usually play it 3 or 4 times a day - and we havn't played since the trip and she's been asking every few hours - so we will do that!

Hope everyone has a fabulous day!
