A visit to the grandparents

This week we got to spend some time with my parents. One last week's stay before school starts and we have to revert to only weekend get aways. Corby was gone to a golf camp all week, so me & the kids went to my parents. We had a lot of fun & while we were there, I started digging into my stuff that I had as a kid. Kensley had a blast playing with my old toys.
We found my cheer pom-poms
and they are about as big as her.

We also found my old paper dolls

and my old baby dolls

and my old Barbie dolls

PawPaw took the kids for a ride on the John Deere

and we took a trip to the park




It was a fun week for all!

New Blog Layout

I've been experimenting all night long (yes, it's way late... errr... more like early) trying to get my new blog look just precise. I'm doing it in honor of my birthday. However, trying to figure out how to replace my banner at the top is getting the best of me. I want it to go across the whole page, not just sit in the top middle. So if anyone has any clues to how I can do this (html code or whatever) I'm all ears. I've searched, googled, finagled, etc. trying to get it to work & nothing.

My friend Rebecca graciously showed me how to make my own backgrounds & upload them to my blog. I've got a lot more experimenting to do, but for now, I'll settle for this. It represents my fave color combination's & I was inspired from the banner that I made a few days ago. It matches, so whatever. I'm using my creativity & that's what I enjoy. So you can look forward to many more new blog looks in the coming months. I tend to be trendy to whatever is going on for the month.
