ok - moving on!

We are heading out of town this morning. The parents will be here at 9 or so and we'll be packing in the car for a trip to Asheville, North Carolina. WOO HOO - we've never been, so it'll be something new for all of us. We're going to the Biltmore - and the McDonald's by the Biltmore. We saw it featured on the Most Unique McDonald's on the travel channel. That part of the mini vacation is for Cole - surprised? He's addicted to McDonald's. SERIOUSLY!!

Jason is heading out of town separately - he's going to Altanta tonight with our friend Kevin (from Mobile) and they are going to THE game tomorrow. You know - THE GAME!! Roll Tide! I have my Alabama shirt to wear while we're gone and I need to go find Cole's and toss it in the luggage! Hmmm.....I wonder were it is. He needs a jersey in a bad way. I mean I tried last year and couldn't find one so I MUST this year.

Monday is Labor Day and we will not be doing any Laboring. I may have to do laundry - rats. I didn't think of that. And I'll do some scrapbooking (sorry Jason - it was bound to happen). And I'll be checking in at Scrap Etc for our first ONLINE CROP! So if you aren't too busy - you should check us out too. We'll be doing challenges and contests and maybe giving away some prizes. :) So come on over - and check it out: Scrap Etc

And just in case you wanted to know - my current favorite radio station is 100.5 - they totally rock. It's like 107 the X from back in the day. Then it moved and was different - but when it started it was The X and it was FAB. I've heard lots of music this past week from those days and have LOVED every beat, every lyric - everything. They are also playing what seems to be new stuff too - since I haven't listened to anything but country in about three years - I'm not totally up on what's new or old. BUT I loved this song - Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson. Check it out:

For some reason, I can't post a You Tube video here sadly - hmmmm.

Here's another version that I like as well:

And my SWEET boy let me listen to this on CD about forty times in the car yesterday - he didn't even make a fuss which he usually does - saying things like 'oh not again' !!! I had Jason's car yesterday, which I love driving, but the antenna stinks and I couldn't pick up 100.5 so after taking Cole to school, I downloaded music and after three attempts at burning a CD - I ended up with the Sugarland version only for some stupid reason.

Ok - I've got to go finish packing, wash my hair, eat some breakfast - keep singing this song in my head!!

If I had a million dollars............

Anyone remember that song? I heard it today and couldn't help but smile and sing along - loved that song!!

So, what's been going on out there? Not much here. Some scrapping, some playing around, some housework.

Here are my latest Scrap Etc Design Team layouts and projects. The first one is for this next month (September) and the rest is due at the end of September for October - but I've turned it all in already. I'm the overachiever if you haven't noticed!! :) Actually this last stash of stuff I had to create with was so fun, I just couldn't help it!!

My mini album "I want a love like Johnny and June" - I took the chorus from the song by Heidi Newfield. I love the chorus the most - but the whole song is great. She has this raspy voice and there's such meaning in the lyrics!! LOVE it!

(I want a love like Johnny and June)

(Rings of fire...burning with you)

(I wanna love...)
(love you that much)

(cash it all in - give it all up)

(and when you're gone....)
(I wanna go too)


(Like Johnny and June)

check out this yummy Basic Grey!!


and more yummy Basic Grey along with some My Minds Eye
they go together VERY well!!



American Crafts paper and thickers
(one of the lines here is called Moda Bella - like Bella from Twilight - sigh)


a little 'smile' card



and a little surprise card!!

WOW - this post took about an hour to upload all the photos.
So - sorry for the delay on the photo of Cole and his future bride! It's coming - tomorrow probably!! She's a real cutie!! She has declared that she wants to marry him - but he said he "doesn't want to get married and parents don't marry kids and kids don't marry kids - but parents can marry parents - that's all!!" :) I guess I should be glad he's not in a rush to get married. The biggest thing he's concerned with is the fact that he has to go to school before he can go to Pioneer Playschool (his new afterschool program). He wants me to take him there each morning instead of school!!

Ok - i'm outta here! Pics of the lovely couple tomorrow!!

Go Away.........

Go Away Little Girl" by Donny Osmond was the number one song on the day I was born. Hmmm, and to think I used to have a young girl crush on him.

Check it out here: http://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm and see what was number one on your birthday!!

And for Michelle, who is using dial up at her mom's (bless her heart) - here's yours so you don't have to look it up:

"Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" by The Temptations

And for her hubby J:

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by The Bee Gees

And for my hubby Jason:

"Shadow Dancing" by Andy Gibb

And had I known that THAT song was number one when I met Jason - I would have known instantly it was meant to be - I loved Andy Gibb and even had the tshirt to prove it!!

later, lisa

oh, i'll be back tomorrow with pictures of some cute kids!! maybe even Cole's future wife - they were really cute together!!
