HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

We've been bumming since Friday!

All sports have been canceled since Thursday night.

B's baseball was also cancelled for tomorrow.

The snow is melting, but everything is flooded and it's soooo cold it's miserable.

I wanted to show you crafty ones my acrylic love hanging I made.
The letters were cut and given to me by my mil and fil from here.
I have it hanging in my window at the front of the house.
But had to take the pictures with a background so you can see how I decorated it.

The E is covered in all different fonts of rubons.
The heart is stamped with white ink (idea from my mil).


Well, the O is a typical Kerri fiasco. I started putting the little pink gems around the heart (I had two different packages) and just knew I had enough, but guess what...I didn't. I will keep it out and get some to finish it before I pack it up with the other Valentine stuff. Who knows when I will get to Michaels (haven't been since week after Christmas) or Hobby Lobby (been since about 3 weeks before Christmas), but I will get some and get it finished by golly! I too stinkin' proud of it not to finish it. ;)

I used a piece from some jewelry findings as my round hanger instead of a plain jump ring.

The X and Os were stamped.

I love this little picture holder. I got it on our last visit to see Brent's parents.

I keep it out and just change up the mementos in it.

I hope your Valentine's Day has been spend with the ones you love!

Hugs, K

Valentine Necklace

Just wanted to show some bling since it is Valentines and all. I bought all the pieces and chain for this necklace at random booths when Trista and I went to the Dallas Market a few weeks ago. I put it together when I got home (which was a pain by the way getting all the charms to face the same direction!). There is a nude little cupid and a charms that says love struck. The others are all bling. I have gotten lots of complements and really love it.

I took a soldering class before we moved, but unfortunately was packing and in turmoil so I never had the chance to purchase the supplies and get started. There is going to be a class at our local scrapbook store so I am going to take it. I love all the soldered charms and other things you can do.

Hope you like my V-day bling!

Hugs,

Love My Guys!

Happy Valentines Day! I got the boys and my Dad to take a few pictures before the memorial service last weekend. Aren't they all handsome (love the goofy face on the right). Love 'em all very much.

Hugs,

Sweet Cousins

My oldest cousin (I am first, then her) has two children who would be my 2nd cousins and 3rd cousins to my boys! They had a great time hanging out when we were home last weekend. We all had fun playing with Hannah who is 2 yrs. old. She is 100% girl and from what we were told, can be quite the drama queen. Tucker enjoyed checking out Justin's Nintendo DS.

That is the little one's mama and her oldest brother.

Gotta go get organized. We have a big Saturday. Keyton has 1 indoor soccer game, 1 basketball game, and 3 - 6 on 6 soccer games in a tournament he was asked to play in and a birthday party. Tuck has 1 basketball game and Brandan has a scrimmage against another town. Then Brent goes to work at 4:00. Needless to say it will be a very busy day.

Hope your Valentines is special and full of love.

Hugs,

I'm Trying

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, it has been so busy since we got back Sunday.

Monday I got off at 4:30 and headed home to check on my two youngest before heading to the High School baseball field. Brando's scrimmage was canceled (in another town) due to new dirt being put on the field! Who knew?!? When they put down new dirt, you aren't supposed to play on it!! Or so I'm told...

Anyway, word was, Brando was going to stay and watch/maybe play with the Varsity!! How exciting for him. So cool! Soooo...I get there at 5:15 (schedule says it will start at 5:30). I wait in my car until 5:30 and decide to get out when I see other parents showing up. Walk up to score box and Brando's friend tells me they won't start until 6:00 since other team isn't even there (you know the team from the same school that won't let JV play on new dirt). Soooo...back to car. The game does finally start around 6:00 and goes until 9:00 (it was wet and cold)!! My two youngest are at home fending for themselves because I am afraid to leave and miss B playing. He does finally go up to bat in 9th inning and gets on base with a walk. He said later he was so nervous in the dugout. I knew he must be. I think it was a great experience to see how different High School ball is from Little League and Select. Coaches were cussin and the the Varsity Captain evidently chewed them out (other team was closing in on our lead). He was pretty pumped to say the least. Needless to say, by the time we got home we were both exhausted.

Last night Keyto had practice and Tuck's was canceled due to possibly severe weather. When I got home I was trying to upload pics onto here from our Super Bowl party before the weather got bad. Blogger was trying to load...then poof, no internet for a second and gone. So, by that time I figured I had better turn off computer and watch the lighting show.

We don't have any sports tonight, so I will get SBowl pics and trip pics posted hopefully.

I would give anything for a couple of uninterrupted hours to make some Valentines!! Are you ready for some romance?? I did get a couple of little chocolatey things for the boys yesterday. I am making a giant chocolate chip cookie decorated with red frosting for Tuck's school party. It's all about the frosting when you're 6 years old. Hopefully will have time to decorate a jar for some candy for his teacher.

Have a great day!
Hugs,

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentines Day and I hope that all of you did also! Here are some pics of the boys eating their fancy dinner (taco bell)! I did find the time to make them some cupcakes! They gave me a sweet heart necklace and red candle from the only store in town, who by the way was doing a booming business! It is funny here...they have these white tents set up sporadically in parking lots throughout the little towns that sell bunches of flowers. They had set one up in the parking lot where I work. There aren't many flower stores so they do a booming business. I thought it was so sweet watching from the store window at work, the different men, young and old, buying flowers for their sweetheart. Very touching...
