Miss Kitty Bracelets

Hello Miss Kitty Bracelets!!

Ebay back up and running

I am finally back to designing jewelry for little girls. We had the tile replaced in the house and I had to store away all of my things for awhile.
I am finally back to making earrings, necklaces and cute cute bracelets for little girls.
Most of the jewelry is made with Hello Miss Kitty. All bracelets can be customized with a name or just a cute braclet that features Hello Miss Kitty!

Hi everyone,
I am finding it hard to keep up two posts. I still have my likes and dis-likes about both sites. I would like to learn more about blogspot. It's been fun. There is more I would like to learn about VOX. So, I will try to do better at both blogs. BUT...for now...to see the most current up-date go to:

www.kaboom989.vox.com

I love to read blogs and wonder if others would mind if I post a comment on there blog...NOT knowing WHO I am. It's so fun to read other blogs but not only that you find out some cool things other people are doing. It's like you learn something new every day.
So, I welcome any and all comments. It's fun to get to know everyone.

Quotes

I love quotes & scrapbooking quotes. This particular quote has always been one of my favorites.

I have this one framed and love the saying!

What are your favorite quotes? I hope to hear from you all!

Back from Utah

Back from Utah!!

It's been a long and exciting trip! We are all excited to get back and the boys back into a daily routine again. I'm excited to share my trip with everyone. We took lots of pictures and had lots of fun memories. Once we get settled in and in the swing of things I will start my blogging. So, grab a drink, get a comfy chair and enjoy hearing all about our vacation to Utah and Idaho.
It's definetely good to be home but sad in the same way. We miss family in Utah and we were so excited to see them. It's always hard to leave. We love that we can email, text message, blog, or call on our cell phones to stay connected with everyone!!

Utah

aaaahh Utah!!
The sky is cloudy, the sprinklers on the lawn are going and there is green grass everywhere.
I miss this kind of weather. It certainly makes me miss Utah and all the green.
David and I were talking about how we missed Utah and then we got into Salt Lake with all the traffic. We then realized we don't miss it as much as we thought we did. We do miss family and wish we were here closer. We are having a great time here.
Today is cloudy and hopefully it will stay over-cast while we take in a day at Lagoon. I am excited to get home and post all my fun pictures of our trip.

Waiting-wears you out

Fun with more cousins!!

Kobe, Lacey & Landon

Kobe's cousins are here for a couple of weeks. Last week we had Aubrey & Austin here and this week we have their brother and sister here now. Lacey & Landon are here and Kobe is having a blast.

The kids desperately want to go swimming but because it's so hot during the day I told them they needed to wait until after 5:00. I went out to check on the kids and Kobe was sacked out waiting to swim. He is so excited to have them here he wears himself out. I guess I better go wake him up so he can swim.

4th of July Fun 2007

Happy 4th of July 2007

We have never been in town for the 4th of July! This year we had no idea what to even do. Our ward always has an annual breakfast at 7:30 at the park so we decided that would be fun. It would also get us up and going. It was fun for the kids (and adults) to have water games and play before the hot hot sun set it. (It was like 113 yesterday)

We only spent a couple of hours at the park and then it was time to head home for Devin's nap and a swim in the pool.

I took so many fun pictures of our ward breakfast get together but put our camera in my pocket and I lost every single picture and video on our memory card. Uuuggghh!! All the cute pictures and videos of the boys gone. I was so sad..But, no reason for crying over spilt milk right? We can always take more and start new memories.

We decided to have friends over yesterday afternoon for a Swim party, BBQ & a rond of Karaoke. David and I love to Karaoke. Not that we can sing or anything but we have fun trying.

Kobe was excited to have some friends over to swim with and to play with.

I think all the guys: David, Lee , Jeff and the boys all had a good time swimming. The girls hung out and talked. (Wouldn't that be what we would do?) It was a lot of fun.

Kobe, Caden & Benson are all about the same age and had a blast playing together all night. Devin & Mason are only a month apart and that is fun!!

Dinner was fun and turned out yummy!! After dinner we all had fun with the PS2 Karaoke game. No one had ever done that and we got everyone to do at least 2 rounds before it got too late and the kids needed to get in bed. After a quick piece of all american apple pie we called it a night. We all had a great time on the 4th of July.

HAPPY 4th

Happy Birthday David

JUNE 26th

Happy Birthday David

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday Dear David

Happy Birthday to you!

David Happy Birthday!!! What a cute baby...It didn't take many
Birthdays for you to become a man.

I asked your family to give me some of there favorite memories with you.
Here is a few that I got back.....
Your cute sister Erika said:
I have many memories of David!

The first one I like is he took me to see Lion King I don't really remember much about it but it was fun.

The next one we were watching Toy Story 2 and we saw the part when the Potato Head says "Be prepared
to meet Mr. Angry eyes." And we laughed and laughed and rewinded it and watched it over and over. I didn't think it was that funny but David was laughing so hard
it was contagious!

Then when we were in Neveda we were playing on the play ground on the teeter totters and he was making me go very high and I was screaming and he was laughing, then we dug through the school trash(Eww! I know but there is NOTHING to do in Neveda) and we just had fun trying to entertain ourselves!

I have many memories (he is awesome) so those are just some that I liked. He always makes me laugh no matter what mood I am in, I love being around him!
So anytime I am around him or talk to him on the phone are my favorite memories! I love him!

Your cute sister Tina said:

My memory is listening to the Beach Boys together and when David
stepped on the G.I. Joe guy and he cut the guy in half.
It was so funny watching him cut in in half.

Your Mom said:

David is our prayer child. David has always been an independent individual, which is a quality of good leaders. When he was small, he would take off by himself, which scared us to death. One time we got a call from the police telling us that David and his little girl friend were there because someone had seen them and taken them there. Once our neighbors had taken David out of the middle of the street! At church we could not find David when it was time for Sacrament meeting. This is panic time for parents. Where to go to look. This is why we call him our prayer child! "Help me find him, and I promise I will hug and kiss him instead of beat him!" We found him at King's Variety store! Because this was a common occurrence, we decided that he would wear an identification bracelet! We taught him his parents' names and phone number! He has always been a loving individual. He gives the best mom hugs! We have always enjoyed his sense of humor and ability to make us laugh! We love him.

Your loving wife:

I don't have just one memory of David I have thousands. I loved our time dating...I loved our wedding
day...I just love the time we spend together...AND...like Erika I love when
David finds humor in a movie and he will rewind that scene ten or
more times and he will just laugh and laugh.
I love the quiet times we have and the times we just talk and talk.
I'm lucky to have such a wonderful husband. I love him tons!!

David...We all wish you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We hope you have
a great Birthday and know we all love you so much.
You are such a wonderful Father and an
EXCELLENT HUSBAND!!!
We all send you tons of Birthday wishes....

4th of July Memories-2006

Happy 4th of July

In years past we have always made it a tradition to go to Utah for the 4th of July. The past 7 years David & I have always been together to celebrate the 4th. We wanted to make this a tradition with our boys to be in Utah to celebrate this fun day. This year we sadly will not be able to be there for the 4th.
We love being with our family in Clearfield, Utah...going to the parade, the family BBQ, the family time and then the fireworks that night. We have cherished so many memories.
We hope in years to come we will be able to continue our 4th of July family tradition.

We have great memories with our family in Utah! We thought

we would remember our time with our family last 4th of July.

Devin & Kobe of course look the same but looking at this picture
they both have grown up so much. Devin is walking and talking now and Kobe
is just a little boy who has drastically changed as well.

Every year we always have so much fun at the parade. Grandpa saves us seats

and we enjoy the parade...After the parade we have a fun family BBQ--enjoy the day and that night we have fun waiting for the fireworks to start. Last year it rained and we missed out

on the fireworks. Kobe was so tired that I don't even think he noticed he missed them.

We made a fun trip up to Tony's Grove! Being in the Pine trees and the fresh air is my element. I love being up in the mountains and surrounded by trees. My dream one day is to live in the mountains with our backyard full of pine trees. That is what I was surrounded by growing up as a child/teen and I loved every moment of it.

Kobe has so much fun with his Aunt Amy & Uncle Andy! This was a special picture for him.

We are sad we won’t be in Utah this 4th of July but we know
no matter what we are doing we will have a good time as a family.
We will cherish the moments and the times we had last year and
hopefully we will be able to continue our family tradition of
going to Utah next year.

Aubrey & Austin

My niece and nephew are staying with us for a few weeks. It's been so fun having them here. It will be sad to see them go home. They have been having so much fun in the pool and hanging out.
Saturday night we put highlights in my niece's hair. She was probably wondering what the heck we were doing. I was so worried it wouldn't turn out cute for her. I have to admit I was worried. I am clueless when it comes to doing hair. It turned out really cute. We took pictures yesterday before church and she is so cute. She looks so grown up!

It's been a lot of fun having them here.

The picture of the boys....Austin, Kobe & Kobe's friend Hunter enjoying some time out by the pool and taking a break for watermelon.
We are all having a good time!

My niece Aubrey

Happy Father's Day

NBA SPURS CHAMPS

NBA SPURS CHAMPS

What a relief that the San Antonio Spurs won last night!

David was on the edge of his seat last night in the

last few minutes of the game.

The San Antonio Spurs swept the title in a 4

straight win...

In pride of the Spurs I wore my pink San Antonio Spurs hat.

I am not used to wearing a hat but it was fun to show my

pride for them.

OR maybe I am so happy because we don't have to watch

NBA for awhile..

NO...really I love watching NBA except for when David gets

really mad..Then it takes the fun out of the sport.

GO SPURS!!

2 Websites

Okay, so there are things I like about blogger and things I like about VOX. Is it worth keeping two different blog sites? I don't know. We will see!! Maybe to make fun slide shows of the family.
I always use www.kaboom989.vox.com because it has been so easy to use. BUT..if I can actually learn all the cool features on blogger maybe this site will be just as fun. My friend Arianne uses this site and it looks like a lot of others do to. So we will give it a test run and see which one I use more.
It's been so fun to keep journal entries and to re-live the past.
Hope everyone enjoys it.

Check out my Slide Show!
