Great Minds...

well, you know the rest. I stole this pic from my brother in law's blog. LoL. I posted a similar pic the other day of me and the sis's all dressed alike.


Well I show up and mom and dad's on Saturday and we're wearing the same shirt again. LoL. She lives in Texas and apparently our wardrobes are identical. Almost wore the exact same shorts she had on too, but opted to be comfy. Hence the frightening no-makeup look.

On another extremely happy note, I'll be MIA for a little while. The vacay is upon us. I'll be missing catching up on the blog reading and SIS posting and all that fun stuff, but hopefully I'll be back and refreshed soon. So happy happy start of summer to everyone. It's a steamy 95 degrees here. Hopefully the beach is a little cooler. ;)

Meet the Newest...

member of our crew. His name is Oreo. As I sit here typing this, I still cannot believe it. Even though we got him on Saturday.

There are just a few reasons why I cannot believe it.
1. I said that we were not getting a pet. Never. Nada. Cam has a goldfish and that was good enough for me.

2. I'm not an animal person. Not at all. I had a cat and 2 dogs when I was younger and sure I loved them. But I'm not one of those people who just loves animals.

3. I'm sooooo allergic it's not even funny. Just looking at a cat makes me want to sneeze.

4. I hate poop. Enough said.

So anyhoo, we were visiting my mom and dad on Saturday and three little kittens go crossing through the yard and Cam immediately runs out to them and starts loving on this one. I have to admit, he's pretty stinking cute. So some kinda way after that took place, we left with one of them. I'm still not sure how it happend. Maybe it was seeing Cameron so happy holding the kitty and loving it. He's wanted a pet for awhile. I kinda wish we'd have gotten a puppy instead, but alas, Oreo is part of the crew now. He stays outside in a box. I had to draw the line at an inside cat.

Happy Monday!

Slide Show

So the Destin mini-book has been finished for awhile, so I figure I should post the pics since we will be leaving for Destin again soon. This time with kids in tow for a family vacay. Cannot wait. It'll be Payton's first time on the beach since she was 6 months old, so I think she's gonna love it. Anyhoo, here are the pics of the mini book.

Not much to blog about. Cam has been in Camp all week so it's been really quiet around here. Here's a scrapbook page he did last week that I wanted to share. It's our family at the beach. He's quite the patterned paper mixer, no? ;)



Happy Wednesday! :)

Yeah, So...

What a fabu night Friday was. Alas, I have no pics because, well, I had no camera. I didn't really feel like dragging out the big one and couldn't find the little one. So no pics.

Eric got off early and I dropped the kids off at my mother in laws and headed out to buy a cute little dress. Because I have no dresses. Not even one. I never have to wear them. So I found one that I loved on clearance and was able to get shoes, necklace and bracelets for the same price as the reg. price of the dress. Love it when that happens. :)

We headed out to Baton Rouge. We stayed at a nice hotel. Eric got us the "suiteheart" package which included a dozen roses, chocolate covered strawberries, a bottle of champagne, breakfast served hot to the room at whatever time we wanted and a 3:00 pm checkout instead of 10:00. So much fun. We went to eat at a really nice restaurant called Juban's. Really good food. Fancy. They actually bring out sorbet in between the appetizer and the main course to cleanse your pallett. LoL. That's fancy for us. The food was really good. Shaina, I got the veal and loved it. It was my first time having veal.

After dinner we ordered a movie at the hotel and in true Amber fashion, I fell asleep. It had been a long day though. So that's what I'm blaming it on.

So Saturday we did a lot of shopping in BR. We started redoing Cameron's room last weekend and we shopped for stuff for his room, mostly. I will post pics one of these days. My blogging has been slacking.

On another note, two of the girlahs got to meet up in Dallas this weekend. How cool. If there is ever another meet up in Dallas, I am so there! But speaking of meet ups, I am really hoping to meet Jill sometime this week. Her and the fam are on vacation and they are supposed to be passing right near here. It will be my first meeting of a scrappy/blog friend that I've met online and I really hope that we can meet!

In other news, Alex and Jamie, I've finished the swap!! Yay. Now I've just got to scan and post them. So they should be up soon. Hope everyone has a wonderful week! :)

8 Years Ago Today...

No anniversary plans until the weekend and I CANNOT wait! Have a wonderful day everyone! :)
