Stampin' Up

I have recently signed up to be a Stampin' Up demonstrator. Stamping is something that I found when we lived in Barrow and have been doing it ever since. So I thought that I would also use this to post some of my work :) Some of it is my original work and some of it's cased from other fellow stampers. So here are a couple of cards that I made a few days ago.

Update on the Alaskan Murphy's

It's been awhile since I have updated this. It has been a busy summer to say the least.

The boys had a blast being able to play outside. They would go out at 10 am and play until bedtime. They have also started school and are enjoying it so far.

Liam is now walking and starting to run all over the place. He tries to keep up with his brothers. It is so much fun to watch him express himself. He has funny faces and noises that he makes that make us laugh. He is our little entertainer.

Sean is still plugging away at work. His sales are up so he is happy.

I have been working a lot at ProMech. Which is one of the float plane airlines here on the island. I love it. Unfortunately, in a way, I am no longer working there. That was one of my most favorite jobs that I have ever had. I had to stop working because we no longer have a sitter for the kids. Which in a way is goo because now I am a stay at home mommy once again!!

So now that I am a stay at home mommy I will be able to keep this updated!! That means more of me bragging about my kids and of course more pictures!!!

Cross Country

Starting a new school year here in Craig has been great for Riley and Aidan. They both love their teachers. They both started cross country as well. Aidan decided after about 2 practices that it wasn't for him. Riley on the other hand loves it.

Here are a couple of pictures from his first meet.

Here they are stretching. Riley is #30 with his back to the camera

Lining up at the starting line.

Coming up to the finish line.

He placed 2nd!!! He was so proud of himself. So are we!!

Liam's Rain Gear

Living in South East Alaska we have gotten used to the rain. Here are a couple of pictures of Liam in his rain gear!! (really it Aidan's rain gear)

Deadliest Catch ~ Nothwestern

If you have seen the Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel then odds are you will recognize this boat!! They were here for commercial fishing it was weird to see "celebrities" here in lil' ol Craig Alaska!

Riley and Aidan thought that it was super cool to meet Edgar Hansen. He was very nice to sign autographs and take pictures with all of the kids that showed up.

Star Fish AKA Patrick

OK for those of you that know Aidan. He is a total Sponge Bob fan!! Living where we are at right now there are plenty of "Patricks" to go around!!

He went up and down the beach to find all of these!!

Liam even had fun with them!! He loved it when the star fish would stick on his shirt!!

It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange!!!!

It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on.

So here’s how it works. I will make and send a hand stamped gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange.

What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.
