Lots of Scrapbooking!

Ok so I have been so behind on my CT duties lately. Last night I stayed up until 11:30 trying to catch up, I don't get anything done while Asher is awake so I only get nap time and once he goes to bed at night to get anything done. Problem is I have so much to do, including scrapbooking, that I start to fall behind, especially when Asher goes to sleep at 9 and I go to sleep at 10! Anyway, here are some great new kits to go check out!







Ouch and My Favorite Boys
Kit: Funky Town by Scrappin Daisies














Enjoying the View
Kit: Cherry Chocolate by Stacey's Scraps









Round and Round
Kit: Not Too Shabby by Stacey's Scraps. I also used a template for this page but right now I cant remember whose template it was and I'm not on my computer so I can't check! Sorry, I'll update this when I figure it out.



Lytle Creek
Kit: Tutti Frutti, a freebie on Stacey's blog right now, but hurry because after this week it will be at her store on sale!
And as a side note: I went on this field trip with Bailey's class when I was 8 months pregnant!!!






Now, my Project 365 layouts. I am REALLY behind on these layouts, I'm still taking the pictures though!





Week 19, I used a free kit I got from DigiscrapAddicts called 525600 minutes.





Week 20 & 21 I used another free kit that I got at DigiscrapAddicts called Everyday Delights. I also used a free template from my friend JoannaE that you can pick up at her blog.

Hot Air Balloon Festival in Panguitch

I am so far behind. Now that a week has almost gone by I figured it was time for me to post some pictures of our time at the festival. I love going to this balloon festival. I've looked forward to it every year since my dad and Kim bought the Hitch N Post Campground in 2003. I have missed a few years in there though but it was great to be back again after missing last year because I had just given birth to Asher. I was also really excited for this year's festival because it's Bailey's first time going. Normally he would've been spending the summer with his dad and missed it, but since he moved to Indiana he was here visiting with us and was able to finally go. My dad made sure that Bailey would get a ride in one of the balloons which made it even more special!!! Bailey was a little nervous about going up so he would only go if I went (yeah me, another ride in Gene's balloon!!!) Here are some great pictures.








My dad made me get a picture of his jeep with the balloons in the background...he is so silly sometimes!









My dad and Asher after Bailey and I went up in the balloon

Bailey and I touching back to earth.









It was REALLY early, Asher was really sleepy. We had to be out at the field at 6am.













"New Rider" toast. The new riders get cider dumped on their heads.













Asher trying to wake up.













Asher and mommy enjoying the view.





































View from the top, we went 1000 feet off the ground.

By the time we got back to the ground Bailey was ready to get out. We landed in the cemetery, it was a little strange.
