More pool fun!

So we decided to spend our Summer in the nice relaxing pools here in NC (they have so many). This one is called Johnson Lake Pool, it's a park, not a lake with this cool outdoor pool with a kiddie pool and sprinkler area. The boys loved it and I did too, so much so that we went 2 days in a roll! Eddy and Frank joined us the second day and we had a great time!

Guess what I got...

yes the new Love Elsie lines, LOLA and RILEY! I love them. So it only took an hour to get to Fayetteville, but it was all worth it, even Ethan telling me for an hour "mama my tummy hurts" (He was all show, as soon as I stopped the car, he said, "mama all better") BTW he is talking up a storm, a true parrot! So anyhow...here is the picture of my new loves! Thanks Elsie for all your creativity!

And oh yes I forgot! I also stopped by UPS and mailed Dayami her packs! Trust me Dayi it will be so worth the wait! (should be there Wed).

My new obsession...

Elsie Flannigan...need I say more! The girl is a genius!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE her work and here is her 2 new lines that I am driving an hour to get! Dayami, you better make lots of new LO's with these! The boys start school Monday and I am planning on scrapping all day! Thanks to Rachael at Hobby Lobby for getting me 2 of everything and holding them for me! See you tomorrow, bright and early!

So the boys stayed with uncle Frank for almost the whole day today. Eddy started a new job and we both had to work, all I have to say is that he did a great job, a true natural!!!!!!

My new room!

So with the new house came an extra spare bedroom and guess what we did with it! You guessed it, it's mine! A new scrapbook room. I got tired of a closet so now with this new big space, what is a girl to do??? DECORATE! Well I am nowhere near done, but at least it's a start. Here you can see the rest of the pictures.http://www.flickr.com/photos/22747161@N00/sets/72157600693060469/

Little pool...

Amazing what a little water and plastic can do! I was out buying them a booster chair and I came across this little pool. I was planning on inflating it and having it ready after their nap, but of course I couldn't even get them out of the car with out it. So Eddy and Frank were out, I sat them in their stroller and inflated away, mind you it's still not 100% inflated, but that was enough for them. So our new daily ritual since it's now like 100 degrees is a little dip in the little pool...

5:50AM

I woke up today at 5:50 am and super motivated! The baby woke up and I threw him in bed with Eddy (it's now 9am and they are all still sleeping) So I went for a walk, super cool day, LOVE IT! and after I came home and scrapped away. 5 LO's. Yippppieeeee! Here they are. Maybe I can get another one or two done before my busy day begins. I love wakin gup early and having some free time for ME!

SAHD...

and loving it! Yes people Eddy is a stay at home dad and does a great job too! He gets frustrated sometimes not being around adults, but enjoys spending time with the boys. He is wonderful, LOVE HIM!

Boys out and about...

well actually under supervision...HELLO! What a difference another state makes! In Miami (or at least in my decent west dade neiborhood) you wouldn't see as many kids running free in the outdoors. Here the boys can run free with me having to worry of any cars speeding into the house. Here they are with their new friends Giselle, Kevin, and Emily.

New LO's

Here are a few new Lo's since my comeback to the scrapbooking world! LOVE the new Elsie lines!

New ER-Duke Raleigh

So I am working at a Duke Facility, how awesome is that! Can I tell you the staff is amazing, really nice, genuine people. There is this HOT doctor! Dr. Taylor, I swear the man should go on the Bachelor! I will post more pictures later since I was not able obviously to get everyone.

The boys!

I love these two with all my heart, I just wish sometimes they would listen more! They are both so alike it's amazing. STUBBORN!!! They fight often but they also always hug and kiss eachother too!

From this to...

THIS! Loving my house and the neighborhood! Everyone here is soooooooo friendly and man I even know my neighbors unlike Miami. So my parents are in town and the kids are having a ball, they are giving us a break and are at the park, I should be scrapping...lol. More pics to come.

I'm back!!!

I am finally back to the scrapbooking and blogging world! After 4 long months I am finally finding my MOJO again! Well I just finished unpacking and setting up my new room (A room not a CLOSET) and this is what I have so far. This is my first LO since my comeback...more pics to follow.

So I haven't blogged...

in forever! Ok it's been a month but hey that's a long time! So much has occurred. I now live in North Carolina, work at Duke Hospital in Raleigh, and I am 4 days shy from moving into a new & beautiful home. I wish I had pixs but since we have been in a hotel room for nearly 3 weeks, I don't have the printer or camera cables. I can't believe just how friendly my neighbors are and can you believe there is at least 5 nurses in my same block and my ride side neighbor is a EMT-Paramedic, how cool is that! I am really excited! I really miss my family and friends in Miami, but I really like it here and I know I am not going to regret moving here either. Well next time I post I will not only have pixs of the house, but of my scraproom! See you then...

Random pics...

So I had time to edit some pics before the big move, love how these came out and I guess I got somewhat inspired and gave it my autograph...lol.

New house!

Well in only 1 month I will be closing in our new home in Fuquay-Varina, NC and let me tell you, WE LOVE IT! Thanks to my sales lady Betty I have these pictures. Believe it or not I was worried of having pictures of the progression, but thanks to her we have all stages! I am so in love with everything, I can't wait to decorate! (it may take a year, but I will enjoy it).

So I haven't blogged...

in a few days and maybe not going to for a while since I will be packing up the computer soon! I gave DH a sobbing story the other day. I stressed that how could I be without a computer for a whole month! He actually looked surprised and agreed, does that mean I can order the MAC...I hope soooooooooooooooo! I will bring it up closer to the closing of the house! (sneaky me). Good thing I have an Apple Store near by!

Well the packing is going and going and going! and so far we prosponed the move so we don't have to live in a place for so long. We decided on an extended stay hotel since it will be cheaper than a 3 month lease, that in reality I will only need for 3 1/2 weeks. A small hotel room with a husband and 2 little boys and no computer!!!!!!! HELL NO! to the Apple Store I go! We are sooooooo excited about the big move! Finding movers has been a trip since they all promise the same thing, but boy am I scared!

I told Eddy to take all the important stuff in the car (documents, pictures, cameras, and of course my scrap stuff--all 10 boxes) He looked at me as if I was insane... :) I was serious!

Well enough blogging for tonight, still have to pack and clean this messy house! NITE NITE!

SOLD!

YAY! We finally sold the house! Everything is really falling into place now, not as nervous anymore. We will close at the end of the month and move up to NC April 18th!!!!!!!! Now if I can only find an apartment...lol. And now the craziness begins! I have been packing for a few days now and still have almost the whole house to pack :) My dear friend Chera was crying yesterday, saying that it was too soon! I really am going to miss her, we have been friends for only 2 years, but I swear that is my soul sister! She understands me so well, maybe because we are both nurses and both capricorns! Well I am off to pack...Yipppppppppppie!

Our days...

in Miami are counted. Sometime today we will have a contract and after today we will be very busy packing our home. I already have the moving company, the school, a JOB! I was offered a great oppourtunity at Duke University Regional Hospital in their ER. VERY EXCITED!!!!!! So after Ethan's party we will be headed northbound. We got a call from the developers and the 1/2 of the house is up, so they are early than anticipated. The house will be ready May 25th (that is my estimated closing date) Yippppppppppeeeeeeee! My enteries on my blog will be limited since the computer too had to be packed and we decided to buy the laptop after we get up there. I think I am going to get a MAC, but worried that it is too hard. I am so excited about moving, decorating, and feeling a lot less stress! So stay tuned for my official last day!
