One plus one

Hello everyone! Hope everything is well. Today I have a quick and easy layout to share with you using the March "J'Adore" Clique kit. I LOVE the exclusive Die cut cards in this kit and the badges! Most of the time, when I scrap, I make sure there is written journaling on my layout, but occassionally, I'll have that one photo in which I'm not sure what to say. This photo was from last summer, but it's a favorite of mine so I wanted to scrap in on a non-summer layout.

As soon as I saw the die cut cards and the word stickers, I knew that I would just use the sentiments from the cards and stickers to tell my story! Seriously, aren't they awesome? Thanks for taking the time to stop by today. I appreciate it!

Love this

A few weeks ago, Edward said, "Mommy, I miss Parker." Parker is Edward's best friend. They've been best friends since the two of them were born. Parker is my boss's son. Kelly and I were pregnant at the same time! And the boys are three months apart. I often joke that Kelly and I don't need anymore children. We can just take turns swapping ours. HAHA. It really works.

I love the soft blues in the February Clique Kit. And the "Love this" die cut is my absolute favorite in the kit. As soon as I opened the kit, I spotted it and loved it. I knew instantly what I would do with it, because I just love this photo that I snapped using my cell phone of these little cuties. Also, the kit came with some Clique Kit exclusive cards! LOVE. So awesome.

Supplies: Patterned paper: Die cuts: Epoxy sticker: Chipboard: American Crafts, Journaling cards: Clique Kits, February kit: Clique Kits.

Meet Hamlet

Hi everyone. I've been waiting to do a post on our newest addition to our family. And no it's not a dog or a kitty or a lizzard... Honestly, I told my husband not to get him initially because, well, minis pigs don't stay mini no matter what people say. I know this because i've talked with a few people who has had experience with piggies.

Well, my husband decided to ignore me and he went and got a mini pig. Let's just say, just because people say they are mini pigs... do your research like I did... They can get up to 100 pounds! Anyway, we have the little guy and I am not going to give him away... He is Edward's 5th birthday present.

When I first saw Hamlet, I was scared. He's so tiny and he's only 6 weeks old. And when Pete went to pick him up, the breader said he wouldn't eat hard food yet. He still needs to be bottle fed. Oh jeez... is right. It's not as bad as I thought. He arrived Thursday, February 19. Amazingly, he did really well on his first night. I thought for sure he'd cry all night, but I put him in bed with me and he slept snuggled against me all night. I've been snuggling him a lot since he's so little and I am sure he misses his mommy.

He had a few accidents on his first night because he was so confused with the set up but I've been putting him on a pad by the door every hour and I think he's getting it... I went upstairs this morning to grab something and when I came back down after trying to get him to go potty on the pad, he went. SCORE! I was so excited.

Also, I got him to eat normal food last night that the breeder said he would not eat... wouldn't have any part of it. I guess 30 ml of special formula is not enough and he's picking up on that. He ate some more food this morning so I'm very pleased. He is a HAPPY guy. Always, wagging his little tail.

I am aware that he's gonna be a lot of work in the beginning, but I feel confident that he will be fine. Pigs are the third smartest animals. Did you know that? They are smarter than dogs. Here are a few photos of our little guy.

 

 

Happy 5th birthday Edward Zane!

Today is a very special day! It's Edward's 5th birthday. I can't wrap my head around the fact that I now have a five year old!! Time is flying by too quickly. He seriously had a fabulous birthday. I was worried this morning with the snow, thinking that most of the people who RSVP'ed would not show due to the roads being bad, but all but one made it! Poor Riley.

I think you can tell by the pictures that Edward had a blast! I'm so glad. He is my absolute joy. He is my greatest blessing and I am so thankful to have this handsome little guy in my life. Happy birthday baby. I love you sooooooo much.

 

Edward and Parker. Best friends forever.

Cooper and Edward. They are buds and will be going to Kindergarden together!

 



 

These kids love to dance...

 

Be still my heart.

 

Make a wish handsome boy! Make it a good one!

These kids had a blast and so did my little man!!
