Taking a break...

Taking a break from cleaning and packing...just for a few. I was looking threw layouts I did and I came across one that I don't think I ever uploaded, of Ashley! Atleast I don't see anywhere that I have uploaded it.

She was 1 month old here, and it was the photo shoot I did for her 1 month birthday. She was such a little Itty Bitty then.. Now she is almost walking and babbling up a storm.. No more little itty bitty! LOL

I just love this layout!!

I have really been thinking about it over the last few days, actually few weeks. One of my best friends, my sister, Lauren, sent me a gift card to Hobby Lobby for my birthday so of course I used it.. Now while I haven't scrapped anything since May or June of last year, I DO miss it and I really think I am going to start scrapbooking, and most likely right after we move.. I just can't stay away from it!!

I also have some cards that I have made over the past few years I will be selling at a super cheap price just to get rid of some of what I have made to make room for more. So be sure to look out for pics of those soon too!

Busy Busy...

so today, I got a bit of news. We are moving!! It's not really unexpected, we have been looking to buy a house over the last few weeks and our lease is up April first here, so, we are moving!! I only have a few days to start packing and what not so I am going to get started but I just had to share, WE ARE MOVING and I am so freaking excited!! LOL

Spring Break...

Yesterday marked the first day of Spring break for our kiddos here. I am actually glad because I get to spend more time with Jessa. 

Today was take your child to work day so hubby asked Jessa if she wanted to go to work with him, and of course she was ecstatic!  She got to help him with some of his work as well as do activities at the college like go to the planetarium. Of course she had to call me a few times through out the day and tell me how her day was going. Well.. in her words.. she had a BLAST and is looking forward to going next year too.

Little Miss Jess helped me pick out her outfit for today and I must say she looked adorable! She even told me how to do her hair this morning, just the way she wanted it and  again... ADORABLE!

We packed some snacks for her for the day and put some fun work books in her backpack for her as well as a coloring book and crayons just in case she got bored. There was so much going on there though she barely had time to do her work books but that's okay.

Here are some pictures of her from today that hubby took when he could.

I am so glad she had such a great day. Next year, Jessa and AJ will be going together and well... that should be fun! LOL

Nothing else new really going on.. not really an eventful day. Tomorrow is my typical end of the month thing.. Grocery list, budget etc etc. I do need to get my bathroom in my bedroom clean and towels washed too.. I do think I may attempt to sit and scrap some tomorrow though.

On that note, I am off to bed. I will blog more soon though.

1st Post

So, this is my first post on this new blog. My old blog, www.scrappinmylife.com was deleted by accident and apparently there is no way to get it back so I am starting fresh! Starting fresh with a new blog also brings a new blog name! I like it.. snaps (because I like photography) and scraps (because I like scrapbooking)..and together, that makes Snaps & Scraps!

So far this year there are lots of things going on; I never really updated on my old blog, but I will start off with the end of last year.

*December 2012- I got custody of my 12 year old, so now I officially have ALL 6 of my kids with me.
*February 4- 2013- We bought a new SUV, 2008 Mercury Mariner Premier
*March 2013- we started looking to purchase our first home


Now with all that happening, there is more. Like Jessa's IEP meetings,  doctors appointments for Jessa's ears and for other things, other meetings, and home schooling (Leandra and Ilanna), life has been so very busy.

Hubby was nominated and accepted  for an award from  Martial Arts History Museum. So he and I get to go out to California in September for the awards ceremony. We are  not 100 percent sure, but I do think we will be trying to stay out there for 4 or 5 days.

April 14th we were invited to go to an Asian film festival down toward Orlando so we will be going to that too.

There have been some downs too but honestly, all the goods outweigh the bad so I cant even remember anything bad at the moment lol

But that is all for now, I will take more time later to blog. Have a great week everyone!
