Happy Mother's Day...

to all my mommy friends out there!! :D

Today was a low key day. My parents were up north and came back this morning so we could all hang out. I ended up making a carrot cake, and boy was it yummy! We took our PS3 over to my parents and watched movies. We ended up watching Alvin and the Chipmunks and Enchanted. I really wanted to go to a nursery to buy some plants but it was yucky out and my mom really didn't want to. They had just bought a bunch of plants and trees from an Amish greenhouse up north. They're going back this Thursday to pick up the trees and she said she would bring my a red maple tree for my front yard to replace my Magnolia tree that died. (sniff...I truly do NOT have green thumbs. So we'll see if this tree will make it.) My brother didn't make it today b/c Lisa wasn't feeling well. I think she's 12 weeks along now and has been very sick. I'm praying and have my fingers crossed that everything works out for them this time. I really want to be an auntie so I can spoil them rotten! Yes, THEM, b/c it's TWINS! :D YAY!

waterfalls

I am so jealous. My friend, Raleigh, went on a day trip down to Starved Rock State Park and got beautiful shots of waterfalls. He sent me the photos and I did some editing in CS3 by doing the orton effect to the photos to add richness to the colors then created this storyboard for him. Once I get my butt to the store and buy more ink for my printer I am printing this one out and it's going up on my wall.

So I told DH about what Raleigh did and he's like, So when are we going? Woohoo! A campin' we will go..a campin' we will go.. :D
