My sweet baby.. Samantha Joy has been the most amazing fur baby anyone could ask for. She doesnt mind to well and follows me everywhere I go and so no peace and quiet ... She loves to get up in my face like this and make sure I am still there... LOL!! Never a dull moment... 

My Halloween Decor this year, I made this wreath from supplies I purchased from Michaels. The project seem to have a mind of its own. Clothes Pins, Recollections washi tape in 8 different Halloween scenes and color combos, and a metal wreath frame. I added some flameless candles, a couple skulls, a crow or 2, a birdcage, and a few blingy spiders and BAM!!! Halloween mantle thats not to scary for my minions..

I was going through some layouts getting them ready to be placed in an album and realized they have not been finished yet. SO here they are in finished form before they are put into the history books. Enjoy!! God Bless.. Stephanie..

This is one of my favorite pictures of Bella and Sebastian. The kit was from Coco Daisy and the 1st time that I had used their products.  The sketch I lifted from Patricia. I love the colors and how you can take this simple layout and make it your own. 

This was from Kaleb's and Bella's b-day party at Fountainbleu State Park. Sebastian would run all over the place so I thought it would be cute to use some of the Alpha Zoo Stack from DCWV  and also the embellishments from Recollections to say "Its a Jungle out There."

I came across these next to pictures by chance. This is of my Pepow Charles and his platoon back in 1954. Its such a great picture of him looking like he did with the same facial expression that I remember he used sometimes. I miss him terribly.. 

You cannot go wrong with a picture of some well dressed men of uniform. This is my Pepow and his troop again in their Dress Blues. I love this one also of him. 

When he wants to Sebastian can melt your heart. He is so sweet and sensitive. I love this little man to pieces.  

Sebastian at the zoo climbing on everything, Its a great shot of a little man having fun without a care in the world.. These are the best times and memories. 

ITS A BOY!! I was so hoping it was a girl but I think I wanted it to much. Alex knew what this baby was before I did... I was so mad at him but now I couldn't be happier. 

Scrappy Days...

Daddy and Bella reading a book that Bella begged him to read. Its not rare that we read but getting this picture is. I love these moments.. The kit used is from Echo Park-Family Man..

Bella at the beach playing digging in the sand. These where some fun times. 

Kaleb didn't take to the sand so much.. He wanted to be in the water and Daddy wanted a break. It was still a great day in Destin. 

This is a older pic of myself and my brother, Joey(Michael). I was about 3-4 ish yrs old. I love these happier moments. I was such a cutie at one point in time..

Kaleb and Sebastian have been loving all the areas to climb which makes for great pictures and memories for Momma... My lil spider monkeys. Kit from DCWV-Alpha Zoo Stack. Embellishments are from Recollections.

These where taken from our Destin Fl trip last yr. My hubby and minions love the beach and water but me not so much. I am a good sport most of the time. 

Now I am not a good sport. The sun and I do not get along. It sucks. But for my family I will suffer a little. 

Bella and her many faces. She is a mess. She loves the zoo also and likes when we go. The giraffes are her favorite as of right now. Kit from DCWV - Alpha Zoo Stack. Embellishments are from Recollections.

Quentin roasting in the sun.. This was one of the many breaks he took.. He had a great time and came back a little toasty. The brothers and sister tried to bury him in the sand.. 

My photobomber.. Samantha just came and plopped herself down and looked at me with the words, "What Mom??" My big white horse... 

This was taken at Ibis Trail toward the end of our stay in the apartment we where renting. I loved that place for the most part because of the pool. We had just found out we where expecting again and Alex thought we needed to move. This is still one great shot of them two. Sebastian didnt like to be in the water but he was ok with having his feet in the water splashing Quentin as he came by... 

Sebastian still doesnt like the water to much so he stayed on the beach by me building his sand city. He was happy and content. I liked the company. 

As we leave the zoo, we say See ya Later, Alligators.. I love these 2 shots of them just walking. Times like this make me smile and think how lucky I am..  Kit from DCWV- Alpha Zoo Stack and embellishments from Recollections.

I have not been posting much because of the craziness going on at my house... With school letting out, vacations being planned, and this weather not knowing what to do I have been all over the place.. But here are the projects that I have been working on the past couple weeks. Enjoy!!

All materials where kits off of craftysteals.com and my last kit from Hydrangea Hippo..

This picture was taken right after Bella received her new bed. She woke up in a bad mood but I still loved this  pic. 

This was actually a Easter pic taken my Danielle Tassin. It shows just how silly and beautiful my Isabella Sophia is.. 

Isabella loves to swing and making her Daddy 

push her..

Bella at her best . This was the 1st year we where at our new house and this was a present for her Daddy.. She was not a happy camper..

Kaleb and his socks.. Boy Oh Boy!! He loved his feet and didnt like socks on at all. He would pull them off and eat his toes. He did that for a while until he put those feet to good use ... He started walking.. lol

Patches would fight me over my coffee for a while. She loved it.. I did break her from drinking it but still the pics are cute.. 

This was actually Quentin's 1st birthday. He has just finished eating his little cake. I miss my baby being this little.. He was sush a sweet baby. Now he is almost 14.. Man does time fly..

Over the past couple years, Quentin has been going through many changes. Some he took to easily and some not so much. He has been battling depression and is doing tons better since school is out. He loves to be goofy, play his tuba, and swim.. His Daddy and I know when he is sinking and it breaks my heart to watch him go through this. I did this to show him in pictures that he can do anything he puts his mind and more.. 

My ketchup!!! Boy... he was not happy that day bc I had to leave and I was not taking him with me.. This was his 1st yr at school with some awesome little kids and 2 of the sweetest teachers ever. It was truly a great yr. 

My sweet Sammy Joy... She still sleeps like this.  Now she snores loudly.. She was so cute and now she a great white horse... lol

My bubbas and Quentin during our 1st family photo session. I have been so honored and blessed to be a momma to these two handsome boys. 

Sebastian doesnt like to have his pictures taken to often but this one is my fav. Sebastian has dealt with many things over the past year. He is growing up and making me smile. Photo taken by Danielle Tassin..

Sebastian and his goofy class.. He was moved into a new class after school started. Mrs. Mclachlan  was a new teacher but she did her best to help Sebastian. He will have to repeat 1st grade but it will do him a world of good. I am excited about the future. 

My goofy goofy boys... Here is there picture for their Daddy for Fathers Day 2013.. They are all growing up so fast.. 

My TUTU CUTE princess!!! She  loves to dress up and I loved to make her and buy her these things ... This was Easter 2012 ... My sweet girl was only 2.. She was a chubby little thing but had the attitude of her momma... Watch Out World!!

The other day I went to Hobby Lobby looking for a particular kit or papers for some pictures that I have of my Papow when he was in the Marine Corps. I wanted something vintage but no luck. I did however find 3 new mini kits from Echo Park and Me and My Big Ideas.. I never have enough kits for the boys and I found a paper pack at Michaels one trip long ago. Its the superhero pack from Recollections. I also cute a few files on my Silhouette to add a few touches to the layouts. I think, for the most part, they turned out awesome!!

This is Alex taken at the Six Flags in New Orleans. He loved this place bc of the rollercoasters. He is a daredevil.. Quentin and I still lived in West Monroe at the time so he sent this to us. Quentin used to love Batman and all super heroes. 

The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. Kaleb has about 4 diffreent Batman costumes that he wears daily, especially the capes. He loves his Batman and I believe that we have bought all the ones at the stores. He is my Ketch-em-up Batman.. 

I have scrapped this pic before but Quentin pointed out the other day : It was my cookie Mustache. So I scrapped it again with this new kit from Me and My Big Ideas.. I loved it ..

Here is Quentin but SSSHHH!!! He is in disguise.. I added the stash bc the glasses and nose set came with one but it fell off.. lol.. My sweet boy is still handsome wants to grow a Stash like this.. YIKES!!!!

See I told you he was a cutie pie... When he will take pics, Quentin can take some awesome shots. This was his chubbier stage. Now he is jolly green giant. lol..

My sweet baby boy who doesnt like hugs or kisses all that much. He is a very picky eater who was very upset with me bc I didnt have the right poptarts for him and it was all Bellas fault bc she ate the last one.. Oh my sweet boy.. I will have more grey hair from you in the future. 

My food monster. This was and still is a daily occurrence. By the time lunch time comes at school, he will fall and has fell asleep at the table.. Now the food is not all over his face like this but I couldn't help but laughing at this pic again. He looks like he has a mustache and goatee .. Its all chocolate.. I was able to clean him right up get him to swallow and right to bed w/o waking up. 

We went to Destin in 09 for the 1st time at Easter. This day was so cold, the wind was blowing hard, and the water was freezing but Quentin wanted to dip his toes in anyways. 

Sebastian was 2 in this pic. He wouldnt have anything to do with the water so he played in the sand. He would build with it but instead he poured it over his head.. He had fun and Mommie was able to snap this pics and enjoy the memories. ( i am still not liking the spray)

Oh Finally!! He found the toys and started constructing a city. Sebastianopolis in the making. He was so happy.. Never complained and just played. Where has the time gone??

It has been a long while since I posted anything... So here is what I have been up to... Scrape booking of course!!!

Here is one of the kits I bought off of Crafty Steals.com. This was one of Kaleb's Pics that he took for Easter 2013.

Here is the same kit again but with Sebastian and his chick. He took more pics than I thought he would. He loved the little Chick that the photographer had brought with her.

I do believe that this is the same kit again.. Samantha has a bad habit of chewing things that are not hers. I caught her with Kaleb's octopus he had just bought and also the sweet little lemon tree that came with our house. BAD DOG !!!! 

I found this pic of Alex and I during a Thanksgiving trip to West Monroe. There are not many of us together w/o the minions. We look so young and less grey hairs. LOL!!

My kids have a love/hate relationship. They are siblings after all. I tried to get them to all smile for me but of course you get what you can get.. SIGHS!!

Sebastian pulled his 1st tooth out after waiting on his Daddy to come back home from a trip. It took a lot of talking and praising but he finally did it. Daddy and I where so proud of him.. My baby is growing up so fast. 

My birth mother, Mary, gave me all my pics so it gives me a chance to look at my former cute self.. I love my hair and the cooper color it used to be.. I was such a cute lil lady. 

This is one of my favorite baby pics. I was a little lady.. I was sporting the Miley Cyrus pose before she became famous for it.. 

"The Devil Made Me Do It" apparently was a famous saying back in the day but I am not sure if this is the meaning behind the dress that I am sporting at 2 months of age. Its a funny message if it is but if not then Mary has some explaining to do. Because I am a gift from GOD!!

I have always been told that this is my Daddy as a baby but I am not sure. I was told that this could also be my Papow. But whomever this is he is CUTE!!

Here is my photobomber... My sweet Bella Boo... She loves to take pics..
