These are in the order we visited them... The first one is found at the Olathe Daily News and the Second one is at the Olathe Library downtown.

The one to the left is at KSD where I work! I know the woman that designed it and put it together.
This one is from "THE GRASS PAD" Where they are high on grass!
Ok I gotta upload the rest later- this blogger thingy is giving me fits!!!! It is having trouble uploading my pictures again... Stop by again sometime real soon!

Olathe Kansas Home of the Cowboy Boot!

Yes, I live in Olathe, KS. We have lived here for almost 5 years. They are celebrating their 150th Anniversary and asked businesses to design a cowboy boot to display all over town. Why? The Cowboy Boot was invented in Olathe. By Mr. Hyer. He even employed several deaf people in his warehouse. Pretty cool- I think!!!!
So, the boots are getting ready to be auctioned off- so we thought we would go and take the Boot Tour across town. We missed one- one is MISSING!! I have been all over the internet looking for information on it- but can't find anything out... I had originally scheduled the family to go on the "tour" last weekend but hubby was pouty and tired.
Anyway- here you go- all but one of them!
Ok-blogger is having problems loading the pics... will post again later.

Bored... Bored...Bored

Here I am outside on Catalpa. None of the kids are out- because out of the 3 others in the neighborhood- 2 are in school. There is a cool breeze upon us as we hang out in our driveway- Nathan and I.

I got off work at 8am as usual and ended up passed out on the couch by 9 and slept till 11. Not a whole lot of hours but enough to get me to 1 or 2pm which is when I can pass out in my bed.

Work was boring last night. We had the weekend off- so not a whole lot of kids were on campus. So- not even cleaning needed done. I got out the ol' laptop and tried to learn some new things on Photoshop CS3 but it just wasn't clicking. I went into the office and surfed on the computer but nothing really hooked me. I ended up playing Bookworm on my Blackberry from 4-6:30am when my boss showed up. I did read one of my SIL People magazines. I learned that Halle Barry has type 2 diabetes. Her pregnancy will be a lot like mine was.

Now it is October 16th. Half the month is gone. Our money is gone till Friday I can't even take Nathan for a lunch to McDonalds... stupid bills. Our trip to Manhattan won't happen till Spring. Not sure when- cuz we need a 3 day weekend and Bud doesn't have one in the Spring. So I am bummed about that part. I am also bummed cuz my 38th Birthday was supposed to be our Manhattan trip. So I am sad about that part of it too.

Nathan got a Powerwheels for being the grandson. He drives with his left foot. He drives into their garage door and whatever else he can. He can't coordinate his feet and his hands on the steering wheel. He just needs practice. Still no potty training happening either and it driving me insane. He doesn't care about Grave Digger anymore. He just gets under my skin!!!!!!
Well- it is 12:30pm so I probably need to take him in and feed him some lunch so we can all take a nap!!! Maybe I won't be so critical and grouchy after words... yes...right!

Here are some of my pages..






Most of my pages involve files from http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/ although occasionally I pull files from http://www.rakscraps.com/ and http://www.scrapgarden.com/ But someday I hope to learn how to make my own kits- especially those related to "boys." I have frantically been looking for a "monster truck" themed kit- but have been unable to find one that I like. I found a great race kit from Katie Mann at SOTB.. I used that one on the Homey Depot page. Here is another one I used the same kit on....


This was from a challenge a while back - on my indulges. At the time I was totally addicted to Mortal Kombat. This is another aspect of SPLUUUGIRL!!!
Here is just a taste of my creativity at this point in time- someday I will put my drawings up. But not just yet.
-Enjoy!!!!
