My brag book!!!!



bwahahahaha! and won't everyone be fighting over this one. (I can only hope-LOL!) I had the best time w/Cosmo Cricket - Jack's World. It was fun, funky and just perfect. I had a blast w/the stickers, and I usually don't do stickers but you just couldn't help it. I also made this book to put both babies in. SNORT. So now Owen w/be getting his own acrylic book. Yes those are eyelets in there. Amazingly easy enough with the crop a dile tool. Also have to admit I "lifted" that idea from my pal Brooke. She also gave the material that is used as ribbon and man it is just perfect for the line. AND this is the front and back which I'm sure you figured out. However, I put everything on the inside so I can pop it off w/o everything coming off from too much handling. Also the Bee Happy, Bee Silly & Bee Mine are takeoffs from the closing of letters when my Gram wrote to me after we moved to Florida. She always closed w/Be Good Be Sweet Be Mine-so I'm glad I can twist it a bit to make it mine. Also became known as the 3B's. LOL! Okay-Off to make Owen's book!!!

Flew home between storm actions.....




and it's so good to be home - but so hard to leave the g-baby. Tell me he's not the cutest baby-EVER!!! lol!!!! He does look like my handsome son. Since the ConMAN (smirk gotta have a nick name right?) liked being swaddled the only available kissin spot was his adorable nose. So I kissed it. ALOT.
Baby #2's mama is scheduled to go in late tonight to be induced. ACK!!! So hopefully, I'll have more photos to post. (I can feel your excitment - kinda like home movies bwahahaha)! It's just a bummer we can't be there to hold baby Duffy and smooch noses as well. It has just been so darn exciting around here. I'll have LOTS of STUFF for PAGES NOW. bwahahahaha!

Please welcome Connor Logan



and boy is he pretty. He didn't like being unswaddled and he let you know it. Funny, both my kids wanted out of those blankets. Not Connor. We counted fingers and toes. All there. Tried to get him to open his eyes. Stubbornly kept them shut. hmmm...where did he get that from? snort. Tomorrow is another day. bwahahaha. Not only that being obnoxious with the camera. smirk. Speaking of which I gave my little camera to my SON. Need to get that bad boy back. So now we are waiting on Liz, the loose cannon. LOL!!!! Told her to keep her legs shaved just in case. We women worry about things like that. Tom's words of wisdom - PUSH! snort.

Fashionable beach wear.............


my fav BIL sporting the latest in beach wear at the Jersey Shore. An umbrella, hat, chair and the MUST have of the season - a boobie board. The weather remains great and the waves are rockin and rollin. A good time is being had by all. Yesterday was our big Labor Day FEAST and it was yummy. We had enough food to feed an army and it was totally de-lish. WW was hanging tough. snort. Most of the family was here, though we missed Kevin and Liz but being close to her due date she didn't wanna roam too far from home. Babies still in a holding pattern.
