Father's Day Gifts

So I have finally finished my dad's Father's Day gifts that are from my family and my sister's family. I really enjoy making Heritage Makers gifts for him and he loves them. For Christmas 2009 I made him a calendar out of all his beach photos and then when I didn't give him one for Christmas 2010 he gave me crap for weeks. I know it was all in fun but then when I listened to an inspiration class hosted by Heritage Makers that showed these awesome Garage projects I knew I had to make them for my dad. So I called my sister and told her about them and she was all for it. That's when I got to work. So here are the two projects that I created (well added me pictures and family holiday's and changed some quotes) for my dad. His Father's Day Calendar and his Grandpa Brag Book. I think they turned out great and I can't wait to see them. I also printed our 2010 Yearbook and two broad books for Rex, Fun with Grandma & Popa and Fun with Mommy to go with his Fun with Daddy book. Now he has a whole collection. They are discontinuing the board books right now until they can afford to purchase and print their own. So if you are interested in the board books then become a member of Club HM and this will help us get on our way to getting board books back.

Oh, I want to go check the mail now to see if they are here but of course I just published them so I have to wait about a week to see them. So excited!!! If you want to join the fun of creating projects similar to mine you can visit my website at www.buildingstoriesonline.com and sign up for a free account and check it out. You can also email me about questions and for more information about becoming a Club HM member once your there. It really is great! When we get the boxes in the mail Rex gets so excited. He just repeats "Book! Book! Book!" until I open the box and let him see what we got.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
