Here comes the sun...

and I say, it's all right...

I love that song, I can hear it in my head right now-LOL!

Yeah-the sun is here! How long it will stay is anyone's guess (even the weather-person, tee hee). But I am loving it while it lasts!

I took the kids to Hagg Lake yesterday, of course there were a million and one people there. The kids got in the water for a little while, but it was still cold and the wind started blowing lightly, so that didn't last long. After that we just kind of hung out and talked, chillin'.

My sweetie put up a new screen door for me today (and the critters, they are loving it and wondering what it is at the same time!)-which I have been asking for so many times over the 4 years we have lived here. I love the smell of the fresh air and the sounds...

The backyard is getting done, too! Yippee! I really can't wait! It is a Japanese Garden style with slate everywhere, we have a pond with a waterfall and an area where a bench will go near it so we can sit and listen to the water...doesn't that sound great? I'm still trying to figure what type of flowers/foliage I want to go in, there are several planting areas and Scott already has two Japanese maples. We're planning a graduation BBQ for my daughter, so it needs to be done and ready enough for people! I'll probably do plants right before...

Zilla (she's my Ig) has also been enoying the nice weather immensly-she gets to lay out in the sun on the hot tub cover while Scott is working in the yard, I envy her sometimes! LOL

I'm super excited about going camping too-I LOVE to campout!! The smells and the sound of sleeping out in the middle of nowhere-I just LOVE it! I think we all need to go on a camping trip before my daughter leaves this summer and moves to California after graduation. I'm ready for her to go, but yet I'm not. I'm sure every mother goes thru this when their child moves out, I have very mixed feelings about it for many reasons!

I had submitted some of my crafties to a website about mini-albums, and I got an email newsletter today and I was one of the 'Pick of the Bunch(es)'! How cool is that? It was the baby canvas albums-and at the bottom of this blog are three links that say the same thing-it is one of those and the website. I'm almost famous! LOL I'd really, really love to be able to scrapbook for a living (and not at Craft Warehouse! Been there, done that! LOL), but this is real life and my destiny just doesn't seem to be that. Bummer...

I'm not sure how many people read this blog (or is it just you, Mom? LOL), so I'm not going to bother putting scrapbooking freebies on it unless I know people do-it's a waste of time (and Mom already gets the links from me--and no, not the downloading ones). If you want some, let me know and I will forward the emails to you, I save them on my email acct. just in case. Some of the links have limited time, though.

Well, enough of sitting on my bum when I could be outside-I hope you all have a wonderful and warm week and enjoy life!!
