Opening Day

Today was opening day for Austin's little league, second year. We were at the park pretty much all day. We had family members from Ireland visiting my parents for the last three weeks, they were there to watch Austin's first game, my parents and Dustin's mom. It was really nice to have everyone there. Anyways I am going to keep this short and share some pictures from the day...

Adriana Isabella with my Dad, her grandpa Mike.

Aidan playing on the baseball field...

And here are a couple of Adriana Isabella on Valentines day that I forgot to upload lol. The lighting was so off here on this first one, the sun was shining in through the window when I was photographing her, but I loved how cute she looked in this picture...

I am so loving all that "CHEESE" in the second to the last picture of her lol, when she really smiles it lights up her whole face! Okay I am off, I am so tired from the day. TTYS.

Some new layouts

I thought I would get on and post my CX assignments I finished and said I would post for you to see. I have a little free time right now, Dustin took the boys out for a hike and Adriana Isabella is sleeping in her room. I am also taking a small break from working on my LRS kit projects to post to my blog :) I thought if I took a little break and got online for a while I could get back to it with a fresh mind lol. I am feeling a bit lazy and would so like to be laying in bed with the new book I am reading (I saw it on the new realeases shelf at barnes and nobles, it's a vampire book of course (Hunting the Hunter by Shiloh Walker), it's pretty good so far. I will have to post a few of the books I have gotten/collected LOL from B&N the last few months in my next post, I got them to read to tide me over until the new Stephenie Meyer book "The Host" comes out. I can't wait!)

Okay back to my two new layouts, This first one was a neat challenge for all 20 CX DT members to do. 20 takes on 3 products, Bumblebee sugar coated glitter, circle embossing folder and the smitten white paper ribbon. This was such a fun layout to do and I got to use alot of the new MM Garden party line, which I just LOVE so much!

My second layout was a community scraplift, we had to pick a community member from CX to scraplift. I picked Stacy Armstrong and this layout...

and here is my take on her layout...

I am now working on my LRS DT stuff and hope to get my assignments done this coming week, here is a sneek peek at the kit (all new Winter CHA stuff)...

I will see if it is okay to post a couple teaser pictures of my assignments when I finish. Okay I better get back to my layout. TTYS.

Making Memories...

I just love all the new stuff out right now from making memories. I got most of their new "Garden party" line (at Creative Xpress now) I used for an assignment I did for CX that I will post on the blog really soon. Here is the loot...

This is a MUST HAVE from MM! Another line I have is one my hubby got for me as a valentines day gift :) It's called "Chelsea's Place" from Making Memories and you can only get it from Michaels.

Then there is the new Scarlet Lime March kit that has most of the Blue-ish 5th Ave line, YUM YUM!!

See I told you the new MM was yummy :)

Twilight the movie....

Okay I have been following up on the movie for months now on the Stephenie Meyer website, I was happy to see Kristen Stewart playing Bella, she is perfect, I totally loved her in "In the land of Women", her acting is brilliant!

I was also happy with the choice of Edward who will be played by Robert Pattinson (Loved him in Vanity Fair and of course as his role in Harry Potter as Cedric Diggory. I think he could totally pull off Edward (even though the Edward in my head was a bit different looking.)

I found these pictures of the "Cullens" today...

Okay out of all of them I know of ONE person. That would be Nikki Reed who they have playing Rosalie. Look at her hair in these pictures, it is sooo dyed strangely, maybe it's just a wig for the photo? this is what the real Nikki Reed looks like...

Her real hair color is actually darker then this picture even. I have nothing against Nikki Reed,I just do not think she is a good choice for Rose! Maybe she got the job because of who her father is? I have seen a few of her movies, Thirteen comes to mind...

(that is her on the right) in which she co wrote and starred because it's based on her real life at thirteen (think drugs, sex and teenage freedom, the movie is rated R and is alot like that movie "KIDS" that came out when I was a teen, I remember parents were against their kids watching it back then, I did see it, all I can say is WHOA!). Thirteen was actually a good movie, but hard at times to watch!

Any way in my mind my Rosalie was a real blond (lol) so beautiful it would be hard to look away. I would have picked a real blond actress not Nikki. I am happy with the other actors they got, just not sold on Nikki! There are a few actresses that come to mind, one in which is Alyson Michalka...

(Here she is with her sister AJ, AJ is actually playing/filming "The lovely bones" right now, another one of my favorite books making it on film)

My pick for Alice (sweet Alice) would have been Racheal Leigh Cook (This girl could have done all four movies, she looks so young!)I do like the way the Alice for the movie looks, I just pictured alice as Racheal when I read the books.

And they got "EVA" from Grey's Anatomy to play "Esme".I can't wait to see Jacob.
