Lesson #2

Lesson #2: Using brushes. Can be used as a paintbrush or the more fun way as a stamp. I resized both of these. The first one is the frame I changed the color and size. The second one is the word "celebrate" and just changed the color. Super easy. Both colors were changed to match a background color from the carnival.

Lesson #1

This is little bit. Big red took some Gangsta photos of him and his cousin. I thougt it was so funny. This little guy is doing so good. His vocabulary is getting HUGE! What a difference a year can make. He is chatting all the time and trying to put 5-6 words together in a sentence. Not bad considering he started out with three words. Love this little guy.

I am taking a new digital class I found and trying to learn some new things.
Lesson #1: Framing a picture, adding word art, along with resizing pictures, and resizing for the web. This is the web version. Haven't done it this way before and I really don't know what the difference is. I always just uploaded the "full" version. I am excited to start doing this again. It has been way too long.
I am also resharpening some skills so I can help out an "especial lady" (you know who you are!)

My Beautiful Daughter

My baby went to Prom! When did I get old enough for that. To be honest she went in April, so I have been old enough for a while.

We had fun picking out the dress. She had actually fell in love with this dress last year when she was shopping with her friend. I made her try on some other dresses so I felt part of the process, but she really has great taste and she picked out this one. Then it just came down to the color, Red or Ice Blue? A week before she was asked she colored her hair red so that pretty much made the choice. She is beautiful.

My rules for Prom were that she HAD to get ready at our house and that she WOULD be picked up at home. Too many times she is the designated driver and that wasn't happening either. This way I was able to do her hair and makeup. We took lots of pictures and had a fun time. I am glad we were able to have a bonding moment, these definately start to slip away as they get older.

Taxes

So this is Miss T's first time having to pay taxes. Of course as her mother I figured it would be good for her to fill it out herself. Well the procrastinator that I am ;) We started filling it out last night. I forgot to pick up the State forms :O! So now I get to roam around and find some.

Hopefully she will be home in time to sign and mail them (she's not on spring break) before they are late. So much for teaching her responsibility.

Interesting tidbit, she made exactly $2626.26.

I am better, (pretty much).

Thank you friends for all of your advice and help.

I love you all.

Randomness

Pheeeew! Made it through all the testing at the hospital and things look good. Supposedly he is not having seizures! If he has another episode we may have to do an overnight EEG. He really did good on Tuesday though. He was tired but listened well. It was hard to see him sedated though, being that out of it and floppy. After he woke up he was totally high (which was hilarious) for the rest of the night. Wednesday he was HORRID, I think it may have been a hangover. Anything that was against the rules he did and pushed every button he could to make me mad. Thursday he was much better and back to normal. So as of now we are relieved and happy. One less thing to have to worry about, we still have autism and sensory issues to figure out.

Day light savings time today and church was early! I am exhausted even though I took a nap :) Hopefully both little boys will sleep through the night and not wake up early (like this morning). Little princess is sleeping over at my sisters for the weekend. So no waking up to a serenade. She loves to sing and breaks into song no matter what time it is. I have to work tomorrow and will be dropping off all the littles at Cess' house.

Thanks to a great recipe from a friend, I made Pork Barbacoa tonight - YUMMY! It is so good. My family loves it and we have made it multiple times now. It is the recipe from Cafe Rio, along with the rice and the tomatillo dressing. It is very easy and sooooo good.

These are the ramblings of my Sunday. Not much going on and pretty boring today. The week will pick up and probably get out of control by the end, but it is my life.
