Wed., April 16 - The River

We spent some time over at the river yesterday. We have a "cabin" over there - it's actually just an ancient trailer that's only about 36' long, but it keeps the rain off of our heads. :) The river got up in the trailer when it flooded this year, so we have a mess to clean up. During the summer, you can find us over there a lot! We have a pontoon that we run up and down the river on, dh has his jon boat for fishing and we just got a jet ski last October. We really enjoy tubing down the river, too. It's just so peaceful and relaxing. Until we break out the karaoke, that is!

Here's a layout of me & DH on the jet kit - that's Tina Marie on Chris' lap. She'll follow him anywhere. I was surprised at how well the water in these two photos matched up! Used elements from Lynn Reloza's Beaches 2 kit.

And here's a layout of my two granddaughters singing karaoke. Aren't they sweet? I had this one put on a mug for my son-in-law. Used Lynn Griffin's Touch of Love kit for this layout.

Today is my oldest granddaughter, Lilly's birthday. She's 5 already! Sarah turns 3 on May 5. It'll always be easy to remember hers - she was born on 5/5/05! Since their birthdays are fairly close together, their mom has gotten by with combining their birthday party each year. This year it will be April 26 at the Children's Museum. And this bad, bad grammy hasn't even bought their gifts yet.

Since it's Lilly's birthday, I thought I'd give you all a gift of a birthday sampler. This is a kit in progress and will eventually be in the store. I'm calling it Birthday Party right now, but that's subject to change. :)
