Trouble falling asleep, waking up in the middle of the night, not being able to go back to sleep, flipping and flopping in the bed....you name it, I have experienced it in the last week. I am hoping I can get back on the sleep train *very* soon - this mama is T.I.R.E.D. *yawn*<br /><br />Thought I would share my <a href="http://www.littleredscrapbook.com/">Little Red Scrapbook</a> layouts for August! :) I got to play with the fabulous and awesome new Sassafras line, Indie Girl. I had soooo much fun with this kit!!!<br /><br />First up:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRt3-azRDIphqjuNAf_LdHWTf7pd4wGSAkeC58GV3MGC6At8-z3gnM4yDVo0n64ATHGVokbWgzhEvIdAce5X4QxFFfiFH_ozmf11JcSm6CWOeGNw57Dg6As1xgaFf2vc4zwhXu/s1600/lo3christie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRt3-azRDIphqjuNAf_LdHWTf7pd4wGSAkeC58GV3MGC6At8-z3gnM4yDVo0n64ATHGVokbWgzhEvIdAce5X4QxFFfiFH_ozmf11JcSm6CWOeGNw57Dg6As1xgaFf2vc4zwhXu/s320/lo3christie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507471044888694594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtJfUDIHpEEaKGXWfJaMLxpyURZnL5qVJjNBEl86RxN6Fur45rslG3mU4YAKJx4LT5NAtDBNoz0gTR8SY3NgDhPYmhcbMHhn4ZAPHZBw8UK9LAXMZCEuqPPx6W9rMaGQixxVxU/s1600/454.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtJfUDIHpEEaKGXWfJaMLxpyURZnL5qVJjNBEl86RxN6Fur45rslG3mU4YAKJx4LT5NAtDBNoz0gTR8SY3NgDhPYmhcbMHhn4ZAPHZBw8UK9LAXMZCEuqPPx6W9rMaGQixxVxU/s320/454.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507471056142102130" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcOaZW0iCri_MlpttbpLm95bQZdRUZAurxA-BTyo3KN091RHe28e_E0oiOLS8IujC7WXiYKS2qNyKwsIYJuaVZyPchPXHZBCxbp5grgBu9efDKdmQVPc2cqChfu1nxl4FtZqOS/s1600/455.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcOaZW0iCri_MlpttbpLm95bQZdRUZAurxA-BTyo3KN091RHe28e_E0oiOLS8IujC7WXiYKS2qNyKwsIYJuaVZyPchPXHZBCxbp5grgBu9efDKdmQVPc2cqChfu1nxl4FtZqOS/s320/455.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507471056878288898" border="0" /></a>A layout with a great picture of my grandpa with my kids.

Had fun just adding little bits and bobs onto this one. :) A page about Bayleigh and her cousin - they have become good friends (read: a lot less fighting and bickering). We don't see them too often, so it is always fun for them to get together and play.<br /><br />That's all for now....gotta go find my motivation to go to the gym. hehe Anybody seen it anywhere?!?!? *grin* Send it my way!<br /><br />Bayleigh goes to school this afternoon to meet her teacher - so it should be a fun afternoon filled with excitement about the upcoming school year!<br /><br />Happy Friday everyone!<br /><br />Until next time...<br /><br />XOChristie Wildeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790473531514743379noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290956.post-62784585220704263032010-08-03T16:47:00.000-07:002010-08-03T16:58:16.784-07:00checking in before checking out! :)Life at the Wildes' casa has been INSANE lately!!!<br /><br />We have:<br />* sent Bayleigh to her first sleepover camp! (EEEKKKK!!)<br />* did a 2-week stint of swimming lessons<br />* went and visited the in-laws twice<br />* survived planning and executing Vacation Bible School at church<br />* celebrated the 4th of july - and now I must note that Layne is OBSESSED with fireworks now<br />* said goodbye to our favorite Jeep after 10 years (forced goodbyes are the most paintful *wink*)<br />* purchased a new truck<br />* shopped for a new truck (need I say more?!?!?!?)<br /><br />I have:<br />* worked out every week for 8 weeks<br />* lost 14 pounds *big HUGE grin*<br /><br />We are feverishly packing to go on our annual lake vacation tomorrow. Most of the big stuff is done....just doing the last minute stuff! And listening to Layne hit his terrible twos in stride! Oyyy, I am so *NOT* ready for this. hehe<br /><br />I have some pics to share...and then I have to commence the packing once again. *dry heave*<br /><br />We have spent LOTS of time in the water this summer. It has been soooo hot. Unbearably hot, really. The humidity is stifling and we just go out for about 45 minutes and are done for the day.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVAxeSowawo_I1eAMA-vCUBszL299mFj7tSPikFY_EwpBNAEs7O23hfSWoVT6r8TmXm4GNC9AV_SEuf1WebMhhSIK4S-05-Cp5ZDud-bS2U6EPPa2tRBgcYkz10DVaK1IpGHdO/s1600/025.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVAxeSowawo_I1eAMA-vCUBszL299mFj7tSPikFY_EwpBNAEs7O23hfSWoVT6r8TmXm4GNC9AV_SEuf1WebMhhSIK4S-05-Cp5ZDud-bS2U6EPPa2tRBgcYkz10DVaK1IpGHdO/s320/025.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501336636977255490" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4KdwScCy9JLzHy_z0ivSdgsf01mFejUWtzPDceepG9GbqNbC_5yFTvHeHxpWBkEQ9a4mhRWQO_DGujNOeyLdWbVQQFvyFPamE1bWxfAXbBuaHgR0TdPC6BVIVkwozwB3qExIe/s1600/030.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4KdwScCy9JLzHy_z0ivSdgsf01mFejUWtzPDceepG9GbqNbC_5yFTvHeHxpWBkEQ9a4mhRWQO_DGujNOeyLdWbVQQFvyFPamE1bWxfAXbBuaHgR0TdPC6BVIVkwozwB3qExIe/s320/030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501336629775104050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisJAGEozV7dwuG6aqpbQsKH53z_d3NzdyUIP9FsrXRsBYyNRXorWALVg4E7YrTYEMaO5nXR95F6pHTESJ5y3GqV-PP-EbgTjZSRrQGeA6VbEkcvh9PKBFkrLz5R2f8Muq_717S/s1600/017.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisJAGEozV7dwuG6aqpbQsKH53z_d3NzdyUIP9FsrXRsBYyNRXorWALVg4E7YrTYEMaO5nXR95F6pHTESJ5y3GqV-PP-EbgTjZSRrQGeA6VbEkcvh9PKBFkrLz5R2f8Muq_717S/s320/017.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501336644325847954" border="0" /></a><br />Hope that you have a great weekend....we will be back next week from our vacation!

Let me just say, the colors are just plain delicious!!!! :)<br /><br />I have been trying to come up with some way to feature the school pictures that I dish out big bucks for every year.

And now he is lying on the floor pitching fits because he has to put his train away or has to go take a nap or has missed the garbage truck passing our house or or or....*laugh* Ahhh, the terrible two's.

Now our days are spent keeping cool at all costs. It has been stifling hot here in North Florida. Ick and double ick. Thank goodness we have a membership to the YMCA because we take advantage of their pool on a weekly basis.<br /><br />I have started on a healthier lifestyle journey. This just ended week 2. I have been running and fast walking on the treadmill everyday and just making better food choices. Stopping when full. Eating lighter. Eating more frequently. After 2 weeks, I am down 5.5 pounds. So, I am making progress and it is nice to know that busting my butt is actually working. *grin*<br /><br />Now if I could just convince my husband not to make such wonderfully delicious meals on the weekends, I would be in good shape. Today it was ricotta and parmesan eggplant. Oy...I think I might be full for days. haha<br /><br />I have been a reading fool lately....my latest read is "Eat, pray, love." Pretty good little book and I hear the movie will be coming out soon. :) Would love suggestions on books since I seem to be reading in rapid fashion lately.<br /><br />Alrighty, off to bed. I will be back tomorrow with some <a href="http://www.littleredscrapbook.com">Little Red Scrapbook</a> layouts. Lots of fun stuff for June... Be sure to check it out.<br /><br />Night...<br /><br />XOChristie Wildeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790473531514743379noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290956.post-63990361058566000332010-04-19T12:30:00.000-07:002010-04-19T12:51:32.161-07:00check it!So, it's been another month...haha....<br /><br />We have been busy with birthday parties, Easter, trips to visit family, and other more mundane things. :) We really have enjoyed the past month greatly! I am so thankful for my family and the time that I get to spend everyday being home and taking care of them.<br /><br />I wanted to come and share a layout with you. I completed this layout for <a href="http://inspiredblueprints.blogspot.com/">Inspired Blueprints</a>. I have been on their team for a year and am hoping to earn a spot for another term! We will see what news comes this week. :)<br /><br />This is <a href="http://inspiredblueprints.blogspot.com/2010/04/de-stress-with-sketch-46.html">Sketch #46</a>.

I know, I know. The sickies came and ravaged our house - between my upper respiratory infection, Bayleigh's allergic reaction, Layne's constant wet cough and ear infections, and lots of tissues and sort throats - lots of things have taken the back seat! Including blogging.... boooo!!!! *snicker*<br /><br />Thought that I would come and share my March <a href="http://www.littleredscrapbook.com/">Little Red Scrapbook</a> kit pages and projects. I was nervous about this kit, but I don't know why. I always create some of my favorite pages with Sassafras! :)<br /><br />Of course, I got all the fun addons! And unfortunately, they are all sold out - including the main kit. Soooooooooo, if you don't want to miss out on next month's kit (and I PROMISE that you don't) - GO SUB NOW!!!

W. I. L. D.<br /><br />My life was in shambles just a short month ago. I mean I felt like I had lost myself, my faith, my body, my being, my marriage....basically everything. All I knew was that I needed to keep praying to the Lord, even though, with all my being I didn't want to. Hey, I am just being honest. Sometimes it's hard to pray when you feel so lost and alone. Or it is hard to pray a prayer that you have prayed for nearly a decade only to feel as though God has left the premises. hehe Maybe I have a small faith, I dunno. But, that is just me. I just kept reminding myself that God spoke through Esther, yet His name is never found in the book. His divine providence was on her life without the mention of His name. That is some awesome stuff!<br /><br />So, I kept praying. And guess what?? God delivered. He has delivered me from my sadness and lack of identity. I am His. That is all the identity that I need right now. I am going regularly to MOPS and making friends. I am going to a weekly Beth Moore bible study. I am scrapbooking again. I am reading books. I am going to the gym. I am going to counseling. There are other pieces of my life that are still not "healthy." Yet, those things are not things that *I* alone can change. So, I just keep praying for those things and count on Him to deliver. Even in the midnight hour. And I know He will. He never forsakes His own and He won't do it to me either.<br /><br />*sigh* Now that I got that off my chest, onto to other things going on in the Wildes household.<br /><br />This little man is about to turn 2..and he is just one big ball of energy. Wow...he really keeps me on my toes. He loves to throw. Anything....balls, yes. Toys, yes. Remote controls, yes. You name it, he will attempt a wide out screen pass. HA! His vocabulary has just blossomed so much in the past month - and he tries to repeat everything we say. (reminder to self: watch car language). heehee He just loves his family and has started to ask for snuggles at night. :) Sooo adorable!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvN_hvyLuP08EzDsjamoTwCSbzznc0pxlO5GG1ukCv7lw0MMmgkgA5Fqk8_ReySqTP0R0QM-JR5_l5IjvuKpXqBCoDWty7HmP2O6S5hKUVQMVb8zWxcnpAjt856R7nOxWQa6Kg/s1600-h/057.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvN_hvyLuP08EzDsjamoTwCSbzznc0pxlO5GG1ukCv7lw0MMmgkgA5Fqk8_ReySqTP0R0QM-JR5_l5IjvuKpXqBCoDWty7HmP2O6S5hKUVQMVb8zWxcnpAjt856R7nOxWQa6Kg/s320/057.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436980580755140946" border="0" /></a><br />This pretty little girl is about to turn 9 in a few weeks. She is giving me a run for my money. She loves lip gloss and hair styles...although she rarely styles her own. haha She dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood for their schools literacy parade. She is getting ready to attend her first dance tomorrow night. Her school is sponsoring a Valentine's Dance with pizza, popcorn, and drinks...so she is meeting a few of her friends there.

I mean, REALLY HORRIBLE. I think I am still in shock at the day that we had in the Wildes household. Oy! It always seems to happen when Andy is out of town and I get no reprieve from the kids and all their FREAKING bickering. Seriously?? Seriously. I had my children 7 years apart, but you would never know it! They "fight" like crazy....one tormenting the other until screeches from the little and laughter from the big is all I hear. Oh. My. Goodness. What a day! I am going to put the older one in her bed and dance neked around my living room. No, not really....but, I should! :)<br /><br />Can't wait until this day of whines and cries is behind us!<br /><br />Onto happier times! :) hehe <br /><br />More Christmas pictures... We always sit down as a family, by the fire, on Christmas Eve and Andy reads the story of Jesus' birth from the Bible aloud. Always such a special time for our family to focus on what we are celebrating!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgomyNafOl4YxCD0Zeav8CXJni1ra7hziPXf23PAZYKJ1kj0DabUkoIY47n5WufGyUBYOIjDO849lDgscLnVqGlrZYVc4-aqjLSg5gwjV_UacMX6tyxEzxiNRpcUVB3W-1DjkdQ/s1600-h/151.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424918758594976546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgomyNafOl4YxCD0Zeav8CXJni1ra7hziPXf23PAZYKJ1kj0DabUkoIY47n5WufGyUBYOIjDO849lDgscLnVqGlrZYVc4-aqjLSg5gwjV_UacMX6tyxEzxiNRpcUVB3W-1DjkdQ/s320/151.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToAeQedKn-3ZonEJQo4THgERYDDQGAxIzflALiFXZn4iEhRwJr5MOrVH2yUQRbSXTZNWmRHlwiP5xC47ZCsMVmCW0bHpNAwoPLaHKMb0Ia62Qaobn-ewmr3bBc82TQT7wj7c-/s1600-h/158.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424918752976949634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToAeQedKn-3ZonEJQo4THgERYDDQGAxIzflALiFXZn4iEhRwJr5MOrVH2yUQRbSXTZNWmRHlwiP5xC47ZCsMVmCW0bHpNAwoPLaHKMb0Ia62Qaobn-ewmr3bBc82TQT7wj7c-/s320/158.JPG" /></a><br />The stockings were hung all full of treats....<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiansUzNkRJVO60l2zS_FWVaSxTsVr0Os4swWHKdZvoHoTEV-oHjHyiszsr2oXhP9oINIsd4TDriYdx8UQDvS9QiF9_5gg9uIVl7T3WFkAnE-VmqTAqxGwA2bMQzdlX1fQSX9qk/s1600-h/174.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424918748763600978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiansUzNkRJVO60l2zS_FWVaSxTsVr0Os4swWHKdZvoHoTEV-oHjHyiszsr2oXhP9oINIsd4TDriYdx8UQDvS9QiF9_5gg9uIVl7T3WFkAnE-VmqTAqxGwA2bMQzdlX1fQSX9qk/s320/174.JPG" /></a><br />The presents were wrapped and placed with care....<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5Vej7GYMYqq19jRe_bF3HSLRLSp7WePukZFUBa0atVe2iiPC1Ygaaq1ukzAJJ7nJ79CpA_ciTJ9wtnmveU0nlUPZuLFrxbxkqBqFMc7u0lKB5ZnlLG8sUKALnIHKiaKKkH1a/s1600-h/172.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424918747080878562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5Vej7GYMYqq19jRe_bF3HSLRLSp7WePukZFUBa0atVe2iiPC1Ygaaq1ukzAJJ7nJ79CpA_ciTJ9wtnmveU0nlUPZuLFrxbxkqBqFMc7u0lKB5ZnlLG8sUKALnIHKiaKKkH1a/s320/172.JPG" /></a><br />And the kids woke up and stood in wonder as they checked it all out:<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHh2EjN-_FxXFjVbRWl_JzvYrMuwjGuhfoUW9-Vbn9uodkeuxUy8yDiM4vt2kXOywLyu0v1l-v9VNuJ03bVc15HD_b6I3DQsOdSziRdtT-gTAbEq2HnIAjhFgWIL1DcHwRWkJZ/s1600-h/180.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424918739796135170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHh2EjN-_FxXFjVbRWl_JzvYrMuwjGuhfoUW9-Vbn9uodkeuxUy8yDiM4vt2kXOywLyu0v1l-v9VNuJ03bVc15HD_b6I3DQsOdSziRdtT-gTAbEq2HnIAjhFgWIL1DcHwRWkJZ/s320/180.JPG" /></a> I think that picture is my favorite from Christmas day...really.

No. People have asked. Numerous times. No. I was there because the cutie you see below slammed his head into the bridge of my nose during one of his tantrums and made me see stars. And look like I just fought Ali for the belt. HA! No broken bones, just a contusion and a giant headache. In my nose. It's been quite interesting!<br /><br />And I am finally back with an update in pictures... YAY!! Jacked up nose and all. :)<br /><br />We have spent most of our Saturdays cheering on our Gators. And Nana couldn't resist christening Layne with his first Florida hat. :) I have to admit, he is pretty stinking cute!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2R91l3nn8JH8PrO_ekc2YDfvklbVaoR-mZMh5-ExHAcUCRgohaUR8Bm_vLI2IW0nDyq4JDdoDkVOvH8sRRnZ-AKlHiukmZoBM47X6G1Xub6j5wkPDp0-9iX5y5jtc8S95j0mL/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423630475363546066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2R91l3nn8JH8PrO_ekc2YDfvklbVaoR-mZMh5-ExHAcUCRgohaUR8Bm_vLI2IW0nDyq4JDdoDkVOvH8sRRnZ-AKlHiukmZoBM47X6G1Xub6j5wkPDp0-9iX5y5jtc8S95j0mL/s320/013.JPG" /></a><br />And we baked cookies....LOTS of cookies.

Someone was not a fan. At all. I mean, </div><div>crying, screaming, kicking....you name it, the little man did it in an attempt to escape the grips of the nicest looking Santa I have seen. HA!!! Of course, we had to have a picture. Every child deserves a screaming Santa picture. :) Oh and also note Bayleigh's face - that is her "OH MY STARS, what is HIS problem?!?!?" face. hehe <br /></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimEx9N-8T4bk4vi3UcwtZwQXEi2WNq_-TkNh0zXLuYNk-wRp9G0KNvuDG0SUgMV5d943NoxuppQ_0CcFSfdiIdGSmPtvsesPHHTG7gz0kmKo0X952gVf0yJ0U2K9r87PlHlcJj/s1600-h/077.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423630460900449266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimEx9N-8T4bk4vi3UcwtZwQXEi2WNq_-TkNh0zXLuYNk-wRp9G0KNvuDG0SUgMV5d943NoxuppQ_0CcFSfdiIdGSmPtvsesPHHTG7gz0kmKo0X952gVf0yJ0U2K9r87PlHlcJj/s320/077.JPG" /></a><br />While we were out visiting Santa, we had an elf intrusion!!! Zack (our elf) brought along some of his comrades and proceeded to trash my kitchen and dining room. Bayleigh was tickled and Layne was enthralled by the mess we found.

That is what the holidays will do to you. We went out of town right after Christmas....came home so that Andy and I could work for 3 days....and then went to visit my family down south.

I am so glad to finally be home for a good long stretch of time....<br /><br />Here's what we have been up to lately.... <div><div><br /><div>A new baby that comes during the day for me to watch. :)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423125049038886386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3CtR7mFwXXs9OXAok5NBMlURATOzVtp-4Bv4XObQF_ZgZtmU2DMlScTSPSeY8qH13atflfDljLeIU3uQ2odaasZu7DvsSkZ5ha6bRnO0Jsh4Hbm-nlAbdl_yq_4wy8XrVGwsQ/s320/003.JPG" /></div><br /><div>More to come tomorrow.....blogger is being a pain in the toosh!!</div><div> </div><div>Look for my time in pictures tomorrow....hehe</div><div> </div><div>XO<br />C</div><div> </div></div></div>Christie Wildeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790473531514743379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290956.post-19674788720073309172009-12-26T08:12:00.001-08:002009-12-26T08:16:33.387-08:00*chk, chk, chk*Is this thing on?!?!?! <br /><br />I know, I know....lots of people wondering if I have fallen off the planet. No, not the planet, just the blogging planet. :) I had to take a much needed break to deal with lots of things going on in my life. LOTS of things. More about all of that later....<br /><br />But, I am alive and doing very well!! A new lease on life, so to speak. hehe So ready to welcome in a new year and a new "season" of my life.<br /><br />I hope that you had a very Merry Christmas! We have all been sufficiently and opulently spoiled. :)<br /><br />I will be back later tonight with a recap of our Christmas and the past 2 months! 2 months?!?!? Really??

Yay!<br /><br />Wanted to come and share another layout with you. This one was done with all the Scribble Scrabble papers and my first time using mist. *gasp* Yes, MIST!!! :) Man, those are so fun and addictive!

Bayleigh will be a mermaid and Layne will be a little pumpkin. We are getting excited....going to have a nice cookout and have some friends over...then, hit the pavement and the kids will load up on TOO much candy. Mommy might have to help "alleviate" the candy burden. hee<br /><br />We are off to the pumpkin patch this afternoon - so that I can get the good photo ops and pick out a good pumpkin for the kids.

AGAIN!!!! Our wonderful, loving, playful kitten *insert snarl* knocked a ceramic house off our mantle and broke our computer screen. That left me without the laptop for about a week and a half now! Of course this happened on the first day that Andy went away for some military duty. It always happens that way.<br /><br />Thanks to Ebay and a wonderful church friend, our laptop is fixed and I can now breathe a sigh of relief. And feel connected to the world again. hehe<br /><br />During my hiatus, I have been busy scrapping. I have completed about 11 layouts and 4 cards over the course of 10 days. :) That is HUGE for me. I am such a slow scrapbooker. So, so proud of myself and it feels good to get some stuff done.<br /><br />Had to come and share my sneaks for the <a href="http://www.littleredscrapbook.com/">October LRS</a> kit. I had a blast creating my pages and cards this month. :) And of course, I had to get all the beautiful addons to add to my stash and create with this time around.

That is the key!! I just can't afford to get sick...<br /><br />Not much scrapbooking going on here lately.

And I can't wait!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Tuesday!<br /><br />XOChristie Wildeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790473531514743379noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290956.post-41703663756078732922009-08-19T11:17:00.000-07:002009-08-19T12:04:18.853-07:00getting to it!So, I am finally back to update with some vacation pictures from a few weeks ago. :)<br /><br />I went on a woman's planning retreat for my church, so I wasn't around Friday or Saturday...totally forgot about that! We had a nice time and got lots of new ideas and inspiration for the year ahead. So excited to see what we will be blessed with in the coming year.<br /><br />Alright, back to vacation....hehe We went to Camp Blanding - which is a Florida National Guard installation just outside of Starke, Florida. They have cabins to rent right on the lake. We always bring our boat and it stays in the water for the entire week that we stay there. It is just fabulous - the nice slow pace, the water, the sun, and the uninterrupted time with family.<br /><br />This is our view (panoramic):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwupayX6Y5CvPGieYdS5ppYj9iktX8rzm6h5pM74kx8sW-LD-8Qyjj8rdCzmAB3bFxNzju5AXhIA8BlWYSwm29N1QWX3vblcsT9sadaqSrt_51XKx4ibGIc8DS-AdJlCJ5P_XW/s1600-h/105.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 78px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwupayX6Y5CvPGieYdS5ppYj9iktX8rzm6h5pM74kx8sW-LD-8Qyjj8rdCzmAB3bFxNzju5AXhIA8BlWYSwm29N1QWX3vblcsT9sadaqSrt_51XKx4ibGIc8DS-AdJlCJ5P_XW/s320/105.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371747279660051058" border="0" /></a>Heading down to the water:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglGoRUWSnZuxHA6Bmf9y6qA8mIzNyRpBjKY-5kNBFDq99Hs_AwwlgI32O1YPHyEfYYXI-p45BPpNAZRqn85Qci2lHioCq7lt3v4Iz6JDZDh_TdTZe9t-jjaQR_bxo0QX1cW8V/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglGoRUWSnZuxHA6Bmf9y6qA8mIzNyRpBjKY-5kNBFDq99Hs_AwwlgI32O1YPHyEfYYXI-p45BPpNAZRqn85Qci2lHioCq7lt3v4Iz6JDZDh_TdTZe9t-jjaQR_bxo0QX1cW8V/s320/030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371748509789578802" border="0" /></a>Bayleigh and Layne in the water (and enjoying their favorite past time PICKING ON each other *rolls eyes*):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqY2gtuIbyae1rQ3zx121y2MNvK2Sp9sBU8fFtdeJAh_00Fv6YuqbvmbXLnNHebuGhyphenhypheng7xIRMrtbVtjy_sT9dfS6FFhAJ5giaS6IJIu6ESYdC4b-lJt4BcbN7tj4bSwaQQ9pxG/s1600-h/041.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqY2gtuIbyae1rQ3zx121y2MNvK2Sp9sBU8fFtdeJAh_00Fv6YuqbvmbXLnNHebuGhyphenhypheng7xIRMrtbVtjy_sT9dfS6FFhAJ5giaS6IJIu6ESYdC4b-lJt4BcbN7tj4bSwaQQ9pxG/s320/041.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371748516014671746" border="0" /></a>Big man in the boat - I love the look on his face as he stands in the bow of the boat - so accomplished and proud (hehe) Too big for his own britches:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNe30y30j3DeWcO8K4zeOgQkyMA549y_RWxztvRnt8XI8c3JAAUSeIZQJkXYTyo7QFCC1k-8uehbHwBKiuMQomhzrn6KmK6K5rO4yecQx9US2GBXLUvcWUTc_288blkiAPqbX/s1600-h/046.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNe30y30j3DeWcO8K4zeOgQkyMA549y_RWxztvRnt8XI8c3JAAUSeIZQJkXYTyo7QFCC1k-8uehbHwBKiuMQomhzrn6KmK6K5rO4yecQx9US2GBXLUvcWUTc_288blkiAPqbX/s320/046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371748526141802018" border="0" /></a>My two babies:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVPJp8FqyLj0jpKeUo4pM_Otv__s8__x6uD04QCfSveHSMXTQhlcudNl6wW27teqGqaZUPM7Ga0FNEZaptWdycJiszHLy7IH2t8KnBgweR1uvm9IQOMVUkeZo2mfGfGUvcHiu/s1600-h/051.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuVPJp8FqyLj0jpKeUo4pM_Otv__s8__x6uD04QCfSveHSMXTQhlcudNl6wW27teqGqaZUPM7Ga0FNEZaptWdycJiszHLy7IH2t8KnBgweR1uvm9IQOMVUkeZo2mfGfGUvcHiu/s320/051.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371748533603575362" border="0" /></a><br />I just love this picture of Bayleigh - she looks so grown and beautiful!!!

He is 3 months old and we rescued him from the local animal shelter last week. Max is such a sweetie - really, he is!!! He will play with his toys and run around. But, as soon as you pick him up - he is ready to lay in your lap and snuggle. :)<br /><br />I started back to "work" this week. I am keeping a new little 3 month old baby - baby L. He is so adorable! We are still getting a feel for each other and figuring out some sort of schedule - but it has gone well.<br /><br />Now I am just ready to send Bayleigh back to school. I am thankful for the time we have had together this summer - but, it's time for school!!! Seriously. She is one of those kids who needs and craves structure - so, school is perfect for her. I think we are both ready!!! haha The crying and whining that just took place is a clear indication. Oy! Over what? A question about where her brother was (?!?!?!?!). No lie!<br /><br />Layne's new trick - laying down in the bathtub! Both this way and on his tummy - blowing bubbles in the water!

This kit is amazing - LOTS and LOTS of great Basic Grey goodies and a little handmade treat from Sara (co-owner of<a href="http://www.littleredscrapbook.com"> LRS</a>). And the ribbon addon - yeah, you want that. AGAIN. Sara is awesome at creating the best kits - she picks the best embellishments to go with her kits....it's always fun to learn what she has chosen to go with each months kit.<br /><br />Alright, alright.

Ahhhh....it was so wonderful. I was sad to see it end because that meant it was back to the real world - paying bills, grocery shopping, laundry, bleck. I even made the comment about that as we were driving to Andy yesterday. He can completely relate. Especially since he had to go back to work this morning. Booooooooo...<br /><br />Thought I would check in and post my layouts from last month's <a href="http://www.littleredscrapbook.com/">Little Red Scrapbook</a> kit. I had to double check, but they have not been posted on my blog yet. So.....here they are. And of course I got all of the addons. hehe The ribbon in the ribbon addon is just to die for. Ohhhh I want some more of that green ribbon soooo bad!!! You will see it below.<br /><br />A page about my grill master hubby!! :) Using up some old, old photos that are horribly taken. hahaha It is so funny to look back on my pictures before I started scrapbooking and using a SLR.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbpq-wpLxBtRi_2iH0-aXqfUteWOIIIx8LatyM61YALyB3NjPs3StpSyRu92jdIfnmLY688zGVZ541-n4EEDOvYRuvhTRowMmmH-fF8ShvDox-k91gaRhQNaWy6gc3p-QJKkY/s1600-h/lo1christie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbpq-wpLxBtRi_2iH0-aXqfUteWOIIIx8LatyM61YALyB3NjPs3StpSyRu92jdIfnmLY688zGVZ541-n4EEDOvYRuvhTRowMmmH-fF8ShvDox-k91gaRhQNaWy6gc3p-QJKkY/s320/lo1christie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364715801634243906" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our trip last summer out to the Gulf scalloping!!

Not because it is all fancy schmancy or contains wonderfully posed pictures....no, not at all. Simply because it expresses how I feel about that entire trip perfectly. It shows where we spent most of our time while we were at the lake. *sigh* I miss the lake!<br /><br />I am still using the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a> Via Airmail kit.

I had 5 50% off coupons to use from last weeks purchases! *snicker* Turns out, they are now carrying the American Crafts 3-ring albums!! IN BROWN!! I was so excited I think I squealed a little right there in the aisle. And using a 50% off coupon made them only $10. So, I picked two of those up! I do plan to go back next week with another coupon and get the last one that they had.<br /><br />They also had lots of new paper pads. Including one by Amy Butler. *swoon* You better believe I snatched that baby up. Along with a KI Memories one and another K and Company one. I feel like I have satisfied my urge - but, hey I spent like $45 on all of that stuff. . I should be good for awhile. Welllllllll....until my next batch of coupons needs to be used. ha!<br /><br />I am busy loading up some stuff onto Ebay and purging more of my stash. It's such a long process, but it adds some cash to the paypal account which helps with my addon addiction! hehe<br /><br />Hope you are having a fantastic and wonderful Friday! <br /><br />Until next time....<br /><br />XOChristie Wildeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790473531514743379noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290956.post-83108822677685574622009-07-16T10:37:00.000-07:002009-07-16T10:46:43.473-07:00sharing!Alright, here is the next layout that I have completed from our family vacation.

I thought it added more depth to the title and drew attention to it having them the same color as other elements on my page.<br /><br />Layne now has a cold, so we are trying to nurse him back to health. I had a feeling this was coming since he was sneezing ALL day yesterday. And sure enough, I picked him up from the nursery and his nose was all runny. Poor thing! He woke up a few times last night....but eventually got comfortable. I am praying that is quick moving and no one else catches it! GO AWAY SICKIES!! :) We have a vacation to enjoy!<br /><br />I am so excited for my friend <a href="http://ritaoliverio.typepad.com">Rita</a>. She was chosen to be a Kraft Girl and I could *not* be happier. She is awesome - an amazing artist, but an even more amazing mother to her 3 babies. Yay girl - so happy for you. So well deserved. ((hugs))<br /><br />I will keep updating with new vacation layouts as I get them done and add them to my album.<br /><br />Have a great Thursday! :)<br /><br />Until next time....<br /><br />XOChristie Wildeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790473531514743379noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290956.post-3798933499538514402009-07-15T09:47:00.001-07:002009-07-15T10:02:02.850-07:00next up :)Had to come and share another layout I created using the Via Airmail kit from <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a>. This is yet another page about our family vacation in 2007. :) This may just be my favorite kit to date because I am in love with the stamp included. I used the frame from the set to create these little journaling boxes. *swoon*<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVsILgsLd5jj506yhxdJFaljhty3fJwknUtbLFL35D5zDs5usqVOTkLkaDLZK8lvUKU9N7655nGr7zBsxwdd9f2dhg79QQaGjr2rpSzW4Ai4qVVw3pSL6ueob52GQ5_70mcGy/s1600-h/lake+weekend.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnVsILgsLd5jj506yhxdJFaljhty3fJwknUtbLFL35D5zDs5usqVOTkLkaDLZK8lvUKU9N7655nGr7zBsxwdd9f2dhg79QQaGjr2rpSzW4Ai4qVVw3pSL6ueob52GQ5_70mcGy/s320/lake+weekend.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358730327478329298" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmT8quFW-egLH4QjqvdOE1L10vRm5_YI-b8hzdZfgcj2CsLTd7jTBFi7r9pwfxDT0iuoZaPDf4M2tbyAd2z1L3Rv3AlpUgQRRc_S_aPn0Q8u4w8p2b4AYI58Q2MItAME8yZZZc/s1600-h/060.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmT8quFW-egLH4QjqvdOE1L10vRm5_YI-b8hzdZfgcj2CsLTd7jTBFi7r9pwfxDT0iuoZaPDf4M2tbyAd2z1L3Rv3AlpUgQRRc_S_aPn0Q8u4w8p2b4AYI58Q2MItAME8yZZZc/s320/060.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358730337654823970" border="0" /></a>We are just chilling out today before Vacation Bible School. We have been getting to bed late every night and just running crazy! So, a day of nothing is in order.<br /><br />Yesterday, we spent the morning with Bayleigh's BFF Eden, her mom, and sister. Took the kids to the park, grabbed some lunch, and came home. It is wayyyy hot here right now, so we can only do 30-45 minutes outside before Layne is overheated and needs to come inside. He gets all pink cheeked and sweaty - poor thing! He's just like his daddy - fair skinned! So, he had trouble napping after getting so hot yesterday, which made for a LONG night. Yes, I think a nice big nap is in order for today! Maybe for both of us... *huge grin*<br /><br />Alright, off to change out some laundry! <br /><br />Have a wonderful Wednesday. :)<br /><br />Until next time...<br /><br />XOChristie Wildeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790473531514743379noreply@blogger.com6
