Black and White LOVE...

I found some really cute pictures of my boys sitting on my computer that I totally forgot about! I've been playing with the black and white actions over at My Four Hens--LOVE them. They are so great! And super affordable--they are $8 for the set. Unlike other companies that charge hundreds! This set I'm using is called Match Stick.

Anyways.... here's some photos!

Week in pictures

Because I'm too lazy to post pictures everyday--I'm going to start posting pictures once a week with the pictures from the week before. NO JUDGING-- there are some pretty bad pictures of me that you will see!

So here's the pictures from last week--most of which are from my i-phone. Except the last two:


IMG_0607 
 We went to the library--ended up with 40 books. That's usually how it works with us. The max is 50 books allowed. We sometimes have to put books back! We are big readers! look at that bag bursting with books!!

 IMG_0600 
 We had a trip to the dentist last Thursday for both Landen and Logan. Both of them had NO cavities! That's a big deal for us! They have such bad teeth!

 IMG_0598 
 Here's Logan with Dr. Mike.

 IMG_0594 

Landen and Cooper got a hold of my phone and started taking pictures while laying in my bed! 


 IMG_0592 
Someone got into the bowl of flour I had on the counter to make bread. When I turned my back, a little munchkin thought it would be fun to shower in it!


 IMG_0587 
 The boys love Headbanz! Have you played it? Landen ends up telling everyone what they are after the first couple rounds! 


 IMG_0582 
Just wanted to snap a picture of Coop and me!

 IMG_0578 
Landen and Cooper love to take baths together! They fight a lot and Landen teaches Cooper a lot of naughty stuff, but they laugh and laugh in there!

 IMG_0576 
Can you believe that number? It was last monday--the kids had to stay home from school because it was supposed to get down to -13. I never saw it get that low, but it was COLD!

 IMG_2256EBW 
Landen smacked  his head on the door frame Friday night--ended up with a giant goose egg on the back of his noggin. Daddy had to sit with him and ice his head! 


 IMG_2211E 

And this is my FAVORITE picture of the week! Look at those gorgeous boys! It makes my heart happy! 



Have a great day and take some pictures!

Here's one of my projects that I created using the fabulous new Love Story line--I just adored all the fun patterns and stickers in this collection! There was even animal print black and white papers--sooo cool!

 I used some of the beautiful floral paper, added in one of the kraft colored journaling spots (the white birds are printed on it) with some photo corners. The sentiment is a sticker and I layered a pink chipboard heart over top. Then I topped it off with some tea stained lace and some pearls.

Here's some close ups:
 


 

Remember to leave me a comment and I will pick a random winner for an Echo Park Collection of your choice!
