My profile reset itself...and somehow...we're not sure how...my ENTIRE C drive was deleted.

Meaning....if my iTunes songs are not on this iPod (the only one that would hold them all), then more than likely, I've lost them.

UGH.

Although I don't eat these often (about one a week), they sure are good to have when I'm craving something sweet...which actually hasn't been too often lately.

A picture of Kaitlyn just because she sat and wanted me to take her picture...AND because she's beautiful!

Brandon actually spent the afternoon organizing and updating folders and studying...amazing, huh?

Another card thing...

Photo 238

Had to run to Costco today...and you know what? I love driving through our new Nashville West. Can't wait for it to expand!

It's sad when it's the end of the month and:

you haven't updated your calendar completely
and your monthly photo of it just for 'keeps' sake doesn't get taken at the first of the month.

Today was his official 2nd birthday. 2 years of this little man. (taken after his first time to an official Sunday School class)

Photo 235

This little man had his 2nd birthday party today. He LOVED his present time. Can you tell?

Another card creation...this one is a tri-fold similar to this one. Love the design and layout and decided to just duplicate it with my own twist. I have a spiritual quote on the inside waiting for someone special to send it to.

Photo 233

Sorry dude, when you and your sister yell and hit each other after school, this is where you end up...

In the corner. Which is better than me responding to my frustration with them for continuing to push each other to this point.

Photo 232

Another quick card made...just enjoying the simple act of creating.

Photo 231

I was entertained by the joyful sounds of Brandon's original music immediately upon his arrival back home after school. Joyful.

Photo 230

The color variation in my baseball cap that I wear for workouts isn't there naturally. Instead, it's a direct result of the amount of SWEAT that came off my head alone. UGH.

Photo 229

We apparently really need to go back and review this book that I got out for Kaitlyn on Saturday. Her math is seriously needing some work. Poor thing thinks like me when it comes to math. SO frustrating to Thomas, too!

I can only sympathize, because Lord KNOWS that I have no clue how to explain it in such a way that she'll actually 'get' it.

Somedays it's just much easier to grab the camera and take pictures of things that are still vs. things that move and DO NOT want their pictures taken...

Today was one of those days.

Finished up some sketch card ideas from Hero Arts today. I enjoy participating in the challenges at their blogs when I have the time. I don't get to actually enter the contests since I occasionally contribute pages there from time to time (NOT often, though...so don't go knocking down their site looking for my stuff, lol...like I know you all will...HA!), but that's not really what it's about for me. It's just the simple fact that participating in these challenges keeps my creativity flowing and essentially allows me an opportunity to create without thinking about something TO create! You should try it.

Hmmm...daddy was working at home today and got VERY frustrated when he walked past the kiddos rooms....


so...

They all came home to piles in their rooms. Tough luck for them!

Photo 226

It's been decided (by Zachary, yet only photo opted and shown by Kaitlyn) that every Thursday shall be hereby declared as snack run Thursdays...meaning during the 20 minutes of wait time between their pick-up and Brandon's, we'll run and get a quick snack. :) They like that idea...

Photo 225

Evidence that school is in full swing can be found in the small remnants of school paraphernalia scattered here and there.

THIS is Kaitlyn's hair ribbon taken out of her hair and tossed on the stairs immediately upon her arrival to home...along with her shoes and backpack...much to my dismay!

Photo 224

I didn't know you could yodel!

Finished up a set of SIMPLE cards today for this.

Photo 223

The only picture of the 3 of the kids on their first official FULL day of school.

Photo 222

Finished putting together the little 'buckets' for the teachers today.

Photo 221

Fixed blueberry pancakes this morning with the fresh blueberries leftover from the muffins earlier this week. To top them off...they were actually home-made and not from a mix. Hope they were good...

Photo 220

Zachary's agenda for this year, already being found at the bottom of the stairs!

Photo 219

Registration was this morning...it was so different than public school...GLAD we made this choice regardless of the cost at this point. We were stopped so many times and told hello and glad you are hear and we've heard of you, you must be the Camacho's....(don't know if that's good or bad, though...yikes!)
And to get a school calendar that states "Lord, Increase our Faith" is something WAYYYY different..

Oh, and the fact that we purchased 3 study bibles for school yesterday. WAYYYY different!

Photo 218

I seldom get a close enough shot to see the little spattering of freckles along her nose. LOVE them...and I LOVEEEEE those eyelashes! Oh, and the eyes are great, too!

Photo 217

Last few days of summer before the school grind starts back up...spent the day swimming. Fun for Zachary until a headache struck him for a little bit. But, it did make him still enough for just long enough for me to get a few snapshots in.

Photo 216

The school supplies are all loaded into the 'school' drawers and waiting to be put into backpacks to be carried to school...yay! LOVE new school supplies...one of my favorite things.

Photo 215

A quick card I made....

Photo 214

We took the kid bowling with LeAnna Saturday night...they had a blast and Zachary literally SMOKED us...apparently he's good? With bumpers up, that is...

Photo 213

One book down...one book report down. ONE more to go!
