What's your Favorite Movie?

I have a few. I guess it depends on what mood I'm in. Maybe instead of saying "Favorite Movie", I should say "Movies I Love". That's makes it a lot easier to list more than one!

I mean, I could list a LOT of movies. I'm a movie geek. I love to be able to know what actor was in what movie, and who he was in the movie with. It was a thing with my dad and me. We would watch a movie and recognize the actors from other movies. We loved to try to list the movies they were in. Geeky, I know, but it was something we would do together. Andrew couldn't care less if Actor A was in a movie with Actor B 20 years ago. Sigh...guess I'm weird like that. IMDB.com is the coolest website ever. It's the Internet Movie Database, for you non-movie geeks. VERY cool resource when you're arguing with someone about a movie and who was in it.

Who the heck knows why I'm even blabbering about this. Just somethin' I wanted to throw out there about me. Who cares, right? Eh...maybe no one. But it's my blog and I can blab if I want to! :)

The girls found out who their teachers will be this year. Sarah has Mrs. Prue for kindergarten, and Cora has Mrs. Harris for second grade. We go Wednesday to meet their teachers and find out where their classes are. I know they're both pretty excited. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle watching both my babies get on the bus. I've had a kid home with me for 7 years. It'll be so different having them both in school all day. I'll definitely mourn the loss of my sweet little toddlers who used to run around the house in their diapers. Now, they're both in school. Gosh, I get teary--eyed just thinking about it. I wish my dad would have lived to see them both get on the bus as well. He would have been so proud of his grandkids.

Gee, what else can I ramble about? Oh yeah, here's the layout I did today. Not much feelin' like scrapping today. I think I'm kinda in a funk. Anyway, here's the layout I did.

I made a layered sketch today. It's my first, so if it doesn't work, please let me know! Enjoy!

Weekend...I'm gonna be lazy!

Yeah, I'm gonna be lazy today. Not doing much except sitting here and scrappin'. I'll probably go up to the bow club later to get my bow tuned. Plus my nephew (James) and his dad are going to come up as well to let James shoot. He's got the potential to be great. Hopefully he's allowed to pursue it.

Anybody wanna talk scrap? Maya of Scrapbook Graphics has started a VIP Club Email List where there will be lots of gabbing, challenges, inspiration and just plain fun. You know you wanna join!

The girls have one week left of summer vacation. They start the day after Labor Day. I think they're gettin' pretty excited about going back. Sarah's way geeked that she's gonna be a kindergartener! They both got haircuts yesterday. I'll have to get pictures of them sometime today.

Lastly, here's a few layouts I've done the past few days.

No T13 today...

My allergies are KICKING MY BOOTIE! I'm about to go to Walmart and find some Sudafed PD, which doesn't have Pseudoephedrine. That's the ingredient that puts me flat on my butt.
My eyes are swollen from rubbing them so much. They're itching like crazy. I sneeze about 20 times an hour. Luckily my allergies don't last very long; just two or three weeks of hell! Not sure what's blooming in August in Michigan, but I don't like it.

Last weekend was an absolute blast! It was our bow club's Annual Fall Shoot. It was hard work getting ready for it, but it was so much fun. We kinda had a bit of friendly rivalry between compound shooters and recurve shooters.

Ugh...Young and The Restless had me bawling like a baby today. It was John Abbott's funeral. I've watched Y&R for about 23 years. Anyone else watch this one? It's the only one I keep up with.

Not much else going on. Anyone watch the Funniest Commercials show last night? There were some hilarious ones!!! Check em out!

Flint Bowmen Posse

I had Andrew get a shot of the 5 of us "Recurvers" at the Fall Shoot this weekend.

Will post more later.

Thursday Thirteen!!!

Thirteen things I gotta do before the weekend!

1. Clean kitchen
2. Balance checkbook (yuck!)
3. Watch Dirty Dancing! (WOOT!!!)
4. Put away laundry
5. Get cookies made for Fall Shoot Bake Sale
6. Go buy flour so I can make MORE cookies
7. Take the girls to their Grammy's so I can go work at the Bow Club (see the pattern here???)
8. Buy alcoholic drinks to accompany me to the bow club (it'll be a LONG weekend)
9. Pack my comfy lawn chair so I have a place to drink said alcoholic drinks.
10. Make a dish for the Potluck dinner Saturday night at the Bow Club.
11. Vacuum the living room.
12. Watch Young And The Restless!
13. Finish cleaning the computer room.

Ok...there's my 13.

I'm also remembering my dad. He died a year ago today of Esophageal Cancer. I miss you, dad.

Geesh, it's Monday Again?

Wow, the weekend FLEW by! Before you know it the girls will be back in school. I'm counting the hours! :)

Not sure what we're up to today. I should finish the book I'm reading so we can hit the library. Cora found a few Babysitter's Club books at a garage sale this weekend, so she's set for a while.

Anyone wanna come help me clean my computer room? I'm not quite sure how it happened, but it's a flippin' MESS. Wow. I guess I'm allowed th have one room, right? :) That's my project for the day; to get this room halfway presentable.

Gotta go get my books for the fall semester today or tomorrow. I'll be taking four classes. Not quite full time, but enough to keep me entirely occupied and sufficiently stressed out. I'll be up late a lot studying. It's really hard to study with two monster kids in the house...and when they're home from school, I'll want to hang out with them a bit. Both girls will be in school full time, so I'll miss 'em terribly!

Oh yeah! My layout was picked at The Digi Chick as Layout Of The Day 8/12. Pretty freakin' cool!!!

Got my Layout Blueprints book in Saturday night. It's really a great book! I can see that I'm going to use the sketches in it a lot.

Alright...enough rambling for one day. Later!

My children are officially MONSTERS!

Oh man, I can't even believe what they did last night. Andrew took them to the bow club. We're there at least 4 times a week, so they KNOW how to behave. Andrew was outside shooting on the outdoor range. The girls were inside. By the candy shelf. THROWING the CANDY down the inside range!!!! WTF??? I was SO livid after Andrew told me that, I couldn't see straight. The worst part was, there was someone in the building while they were doing this. Oh man. They got in HUGE trouble. They're now grounded forever, and will no longer be allowed to be alone in the bow club. They get to sit with me the ENTIRE day I'm there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays instead of playing on the playground with the other kids. Ugh. I should send them to military school.

Anyway...while they were vandalizing the bow club, I was at a production of Once Upon A Mattress. VERY funny.

Welp, I'm off here for now. Just wanted to vent about my devil children.

Ahhh...

New Blog clothes! I like to change stuff around once in a while. Also, if you'd like me to add you to my Blog Stalker, leave your blog link in a comment. I'm looking for new blogs to stalk!

Not much going on today. We're goin' to the bow club for the league. Big shock, huh? Seems like we're always there. I'm actually shooting really well. Figures, since we're about to change everything so I can go to stronger limbs. That's ok though. I'll be able to shoot longer distances and get in some of the fun outdoor tournaments next year.

Here's a layout I did last night for Justine (bellbird). It's her daughter Alyssa. I had a blast using her photo!

Crappy Weekend

So like, Friday night I spent in the ER. I was having a terrible pain in my right side, and of course thought it might have been my appendix. So, I went in to get it checked. The ER was the busiest I've EVER seen it. I've never waited more than half an hour to get into a room, but this night the wait was three hours. Fun. Luckily the pain went away after some IV fluids and dose of Potassium, as my K was pretty low. Not cool.

Anyway, all is well, and I'm back to normal.

Andrew did really well at the State Shoot this weekend. He didn't win a medal, but now he's nore determined to practice harder and get better for next year. I shot my best game ever yesterday afternoon. I was pretty geeked.

The girls and I are going to walk around their new school today to get a feel for where things are. School starts September 5, which is Cora's birthday. She's excited to be going to school on her birthday this year.

Welp, I'd better get this done so I can start on the laundry. YAY!

Friday again!

This week flew by! The girls had VBS, and I was commissioned to be a leader for Cora's class. We had a total blast! I had a few kids who were in my Sunday School class. A bunch of fun. I'm sure tired though.

Tomorrow is the State Shoot at the bow club. I'm going to help out with the shoot, so I'll be gone all weekend. Andrew's going to shoot in the tournament. He's pretty nervous, as he's never shot in a tournament before. I told him he should go for it.

Not much else going on this week. Busy and boring.

A Very Worthy Cause

Manda Bean's mom was recently diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma (Breast Cancer). Over 60 designers teamed up to create this kit to help pay for her treatment and other expenses.

Please buy this if you can. I lost my dad to cancer, and I want with all my soul for her mom to beat this devastating disease. It's only 10 bucks, but it all adds up. Please help.

Tuesday Night Chick Flick

Watch Sixteen Candles this weekend, then join us for some girlie fun!

We're Home

Ugh. I had a huge post written, but then Firefox pooped on itself and it's gone. Grrr...

Anyway, we had a good time in Colorado. We stayed in a small town outside of Boulder called Nederland. Andrew's sister Theresa and her new husband live there. He owns a business called Door To Door Organics. It was a really rustic, pretty town.

The wedding was at the Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, CO. Gorgeous rushing river, and the wedding was held on a little platform next to the river. It was a gorgeous day.
The girls were flower girls. It was moving to see the pride in Keith's eyes as he walked with his only daughter.



We also went horseback riding in Roosevelt National Forest. Cora and Sarah each got their own horse and had a blast. They were led by guides, but they didn't care.

Now were home. I'm SO glad to be back!

I have more photos on Photo Bucket if anyone wants to see them.

Goin' To Colorado

I'm leaving tomorrow for Colorado for a wedding. I'll be back Monday! Later dudes!

Do Nothing Hang Out Day

That's what today is. We've been on the go every day for a couple weeks now. It finally caught up to Cora, who had a total meltdown yesterday. So today is Do Nothing Hang Out Day. It's 9:30 AM, and Cora's still conked out. Guess someone needed sleep, eh? Poor kit. She can go and go, but when it catches up to her, it's not pretty. We're gonna play outside a bit, watch a bit of Lord Of The Rings (the girls LOVE this), and sit on our fannies.

Sarah got her glasses Tuesday. They're just SO cute on her! I'll have to snag her to get a few photos. She's still on her photo strike, so we'll see if I get anything. Maybe I'll bribe her with a popsicle! :)

We leave for CO on Thursday afternoon. A three hour flight to Denver. Monday I have to find some "stuff" for the girls to do on the plane. I need to go to the library and get the next two books in the set I'm reading. None of us have ever been to CO, so we're looking forward to seeing the mountains.

Tomorrow I'm going with my sister-in-law Lara, her friend Betsy, and Lara's dad Larry up to Larry's family farm. Lara wants me to take Senior portraits up there, and I'm going to finish Betsy's portraits up there as well. It's beautiful, with lots of cool stuff. Plus I don't have to take the girls, so it's like a mini-vacation. I was going to go up tonight, but remembered going up North on Friday in the summer is a BAD idea. Everyone else is also traveling, so I'd be in LOTS of traffic. So I'm going to wait until early Saturday morning.

Welp, I'd better get this done; Lord of The Rings awaits.

Here's a sketch if anyone's so inclined to use it.

Ugh...Monday

I hate Mondays. I just can't seem to get moving. Today's pretty laid back. Cleaned the living room and am getting some laundry done. The girls are running wild around the neighborhood with their friends. Bawahahahahah! Cora is carrying the Walkie-Talkie so that I can check in on them. She thinks she's cool. I'm SO glad she does.

Sarah had her annual physical this morning. She got tested for Anemia; she wasn't happy about that. She was tough though. I mean, who LIKES having blood drawn?

Andrew took the girls camping this weekend. I took advantage of the solitude and saw Pirates 2. Not a bad flick. I liked how the end went straight into number 3. There were some pretty funny parts. A preview for The Guardian looked really good. It stars Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. Ashton is actually a decent actor. It comes out in Sept. Guess I'll have to see it. Talladega Nights looks pretty freaking funny as well. I don't usually like Will Ferrell, but this movie looks great. I've been to Talladega, AL a couple times. Very interesting to see a NASCAR race. Yee Haw.

TGIF, Baby!

It has begun. Cora is SUCH a girl. I can't even imagine how it will be when she's a teenager. I took her school clothes shopping today, and it was just too funny to watch her flit around the store checking stuff out. She insisted I take her to the mall. That's never a good sign. We had a good time hanging out together. Sarah didn't want to go, so she spent the day at her Aunt's.

Less than two weeks until we fly to CO. The girls have their dresses, but I need to go shopping for mine. Something light and comfortable. Luckily it's not a really formal wedding, and I can get something pretty and comfy.

So, it's almost 10 PM on Friday night. The girls are watching Fellowship of The Ring. They love those movies. It's so funny; the movies I think would maybe be too scary for them they love. I thought Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire would be too dark and scary. Nope. Didn't faze them one bit.

Andrew's taking the girls camping tomorrow morning. Woot! Not sure what I'll do. Watch chick flicks, scrap, and sit on my behind. Can't beat that!

Wonderful 4th!

We had a great day yesterday. Awesome parade in the morning. The girls had a lot of fun. We had a cookout with Andrew's brother's family in the afternoon, and then went to see the fireworks. That's always so much fun. Not sure why, but sitting in the grass with a thousand other people waiting on fireworks always really drives it home for me. I'm SO lucky to live in this awesome country. Maybe it's watching everyone else just enjoy being together makes it so awesome for me. The 4th of July has to be one of my favorite holidays. I love the USA!

Sarah needs full-time glasses. Luckily she's far-sighted, so she may very well outgrow needing them.

Let's see...what else. Got some layouts done the past few days.

Bunch of stuff on this one. Papers by Angie Briggs; Doodles by Fee Jardine (Her doodles are da bomb!); Stamped Alpha by Jenn Star; Blue flower by Amy Knepper. Fonts are Carpenter and Pea Elizabeth.


This one is from Heather Roselli's "Growth Spurt" kit that will be releases at The Digi Chick tomorrow, July 6. This kit totally rocks the house. You know you want it.

Poor, Neglected Blog!

Wow! I haven't ever gone this long without updating. I've been CRAZY busy the past couple weeks. Thought I'd take a break and give the blog some lovin'.

Let's see. We found out that both girls need glasses. Cora needs them for reading, and Sarah needs them all the time. The good news is that they're both farsighted, which is likely to correct itself since they're so young. We're hoping that's the case. They both, of course, had a fun time picking out the perfect frames.

We went camping last weekend. It wasn't too bad, even though I DETEST camping. It wasn't horrible, but I won't be going back any time soon. The girls and Andrew had a lot of fun though, and it was fun to watch them. Andrew's trying to sweet talk me into going again, but it ain't happenin'. We were up on Andrew's stepfather's land up near Weidman, MI. We stopped by his farm while we were up there, and hung out there for a while. I got some great shots of Cora. Sarah wasn't havin' anything to do with the camera. She's on camera strike, apparently. I did get one of her eating a marshmallow.

She ate about half a S'More, then wanted just the marshmallows. Crazy kid...everyone knows that camping is all about the S'Mores!

Here are a couple shots of Cora.

I've been pretty busy with photos all week. I wrapped up all the headshots for the Fenton Village Players this week. They're doing "Once Upon A Mattress" this summer, so I've been getting all their headshots and their publicity poster all done. Pretty big job, but fun. Last night as I was leaving I got a rousing rendition of the Birthday Song. That was pretty cool.

Yeah. I'm 30. My birthday was June 26. Not sure how I feel about being 30 yet. Ask me in about 10 years. :)

Not sure what our plans are for the 4th. Probably just parade and fireworks. July 4th has to be one of my all time fave holidays. I just get filled with pride to know I live in this awesome country. Sure, we're not perfect, but darn it, America rocks. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I'm also proud that I'm forever a part of the tradition of the military. I can't even express how thankful I am for the men and women who fight and die every day to keep this country free. God Bless America.

Wow!

It's been a BUSY few days! Wednesday night I caught some crazy cold, and have been feeling like crap the past few days. Did that slow me down? Nope! Thursday morning, both girls had baseball practice. They both had a BLAST. Sarah's playing on an instructional T-ball team, and Cora's on a Squirt softball team.

Thursday night I started taking headshots for a local Theater Group that my brother-in-law is the producer of. I'll go back a few more times to get the entire cast. They're doing Once Upon A Mattress.

Friday was the Engagement Party for Andrew's sister Theresa and her fiance David. They came in from Colorado. They're getting married in July in CO, and we wanted to have a party to meet his family (whose from PA), and for the people who can't make it to the wedding to come and congratulate them. It was a lot of fun. After that was over, we all went to Andrew's mom's to hang out with Theresa and one of their cousins who they haven't seen in years. They seemed to have been really close when they were kids. Hopefully we can keep in touch with them, as they only live an hour away. Theresa was really surprised to see them.

Saturday was the Big Fat Spangler Birthday Party. There are MANY June birthdays. We had a party for James, Sarah, me, Andrew, Janet, and Jessica. We only sang the Spangler birthday song once, thankfully. It can be pretty raucous.

Today was Father's Day. Andrew got breakfast in bed, and then we went to Andrew's dad's house for a while to hang out before Theresa and David went to the airport.

Today's been bittersweet. I'm glad Andrew enjoyed his day, and got to spend time with his dad. I miss mine, though. I've been trying all day to be strong and not break down. It's Andrew's day and I don't want it dampened by the way I feel. I miss my daddy today.

Hump Day!!

Both girls have been home this week since school's out. Gonna be a LOOONNNGGGG summer! :) Tomorrow, both girls have softball/baseball practice. I think they're both going to love playing.

Getting my bedroom organized. Man it was a MESS!!!! I'm going to go dresser shopping tomorrow and find a new dresser for our room. The one in there is OLD! Time for some new stuff.

Andrew shaved his head tonight...BALD. I've never seen him bald before, but I'm diggin' it! I doubt he'll EVER do it again, but it's cool he gave it a shot this time. People are going to FREAK out when they see him. He looks so different. Cora doesn't like it at all. She was not pleased when he showed her. I'll have to sneak a pic or two and post it...he's going to be very stingy with the photos. Terd.

Yet Another Busy Weekend

Wow...the weekends in June are BUSY! Yesterday I took my nephews to their soccer tournament. Both boys did really well. Then we went to Lara's boyfriend's Open House(graduation party). That was pretty fun too. I was exhausted after all the hoopla, so came home pretty early.

Today was the first of three Club Championship Shoots at the bow club. The highest 2 out of 3 score in each division is declared the champion. It was the first time I'd shot 3D targets before, and I had a blast! The girls shot really well too. Here's Cora showing off her kill. It's about as in the middle of the heart as it can get!

Last day of school

It's Cora's last day as a first grader. I just know she's gonna get off the bus crying. When I dropped her off at the bus stop this morning, she said that she'll probably be crying when she got off this afternoon. I told her that was perfectly ok.

Sooner or later this next week I've got to go and get my driver's license renewed. I don't think I've ever had a license renewed. I've either lost it in a river, gotten married, gotten divorced, gotten married again. Soooo...this will be the first time I've had a license for 6 years in a row! Whoopee!! :)

Anyway...short post today. Gotta get busy.

Lata!

Mmmmm...Bug Dope...

Yup. I smell like bug dope. I was at the bow club today and sprayed "Off!" on myself and Sarah. I was supposed to take her to shoot the course today, but it didn't happen. The moron who was supposed to relieve me at registration never showed up. I will not type what names I called him. Let's just say that it's not for ladies' eyes. :)

It's been a BUSY day. Cora's school had their Field Day today, so worked the morning shift in the Cupcake Walk. It was a lot of fun. Sarah and I ate lunch with Cora before we had to jet to the bow club for registration. After registration, I had to jet to Fenton for a production meeting of the Fenton Village Players. I'm their staff photographer this year, and they're beginning production of Once Upon A Mattress. My Brother-in-law is the Producer, and he's got his poop together. I like that. Now all I have to do is figure out when I can do cast headshots. He wants them done by the end of June. Shouldn't be a problem. My evenings are pretty free; it's my days that are slammed. Such is life in summer. Now I'm sitting at home waiting on my tea to get done boiling. Got my living room clean of clothes that have been on the floor since Friday waiting to be put away. Apparently I'm the only one capable of such a feat. The clothes fairy is slacking. Sigh...

Cora's done with school on Thursday. I promised her we'd go eat at Red Robin that night. I've never been there before. Anyone know if it's good?

Father's Day's coming up. Not sure how I'm gonna feel that day. First Father's Day without my dad. I miss him more than I can even describe. When we got our new car last week, I briefly thought: "I should call him and tell him about it". Then reality set in and I realized he's not here. But I know he's watching. I can just feel it. It makes me smile to know that. Anyway...give your daddies a kiss on June 18. They deserve it.

What else? Not much else going on around the Spangler abode. Guess I'll get some prom photos edited for my sister-in-law before she sends the mob after me. If ya wanna see them go here.

Later, taters!

What a Weekend!!!

Our bow club had a State Shoot this weekend. Archers from all over the state came and shot. It was a total blast to watch this; it was the first outdoor shoot I'd seen. I was running the "kitchen". We had a grill out there on the field. We made a considerable amount of money. The fun part was watching the professional archers at work. There were quite a few REALLY good shooters. An amateur who is a member of our club broke the state record today. That was pretty exciting.

I am SOOOOO tired. We were on the go nonstop both Saturday and Sunday. Cora has a field trip to the farm tomorrow, but I talked her into going to see a movie with me instead. I guess we'll go see Over The Hedge, but I really want to see Cars. Unfortunately it doesn't come out until Friday. Bah.

Ok...I'm too tired to keep writing, and I have a couple homework assignments to finish tonight.

Here are a couple photos from the weekend.

Dude, Where's my BLOG???

Hmmm...I went to my blog this morning and everything was messed up. Totally weird. So, I decided to start over. I'll slowly put everything back up in the next couple days. Darn it.

Holy Humidity, Batman!

Man, it's HOT! I wish it would rain and get it over with. It's SO humid and yucky.

We bought a new car yesterday. It's a Chevy Cobalt and it's Sunburst Orange. Andrew chose the color, if you can believe it. I told him I didn't care, but would have preferred the red. Oh well, such is life. We are supposed to pick it up today at 1.

Cora's going to the zoo today on a class field trip. She was SO excited this morning...you'd think she's never been to the zoo before. We went to the grocery store this morning and got her a disposable camera and her Lunchable.

The Skate A Rama was pretty fun. I was not aware that the kids had to bring their own skates, so the girls didn't skate. They didn't care though. There was a lot of other stuff to keep them occupied. The firetruck was there and it gave people rides in the bucket. They also had one of the hoses hooked up and was letting kids run through the water.

I think Cora has discovered the love of baseball. She sat up last night and watched most of the Tigers game. I had such fun explaining to her all the bits and pieces of the rules. I remember my dad doing that with me.
**Charlene....the Yanks are the DEBILS!!!!**

I haven't scrapped in a few days (GASP), but here are a couple that I did recently.

Manda Bean's "Bring In the Funk"

Sandra Boddington's "Stroll In The Park"

Remembering

It's Memorial Day. A day of remembering those who are gone. Remembering those who are still here, fighting for freedom. Showing appreciation.

I could only pray that if I was ever called to make the ultimate sacrifice, I would be brave and face it head on. That I would make my fellow soldiers and countrymen proud. I am SO proud to have been a part of our military.

I just want to say THANK YOU to every serviceman and woman. YOU are our country. I'll staunchly support you any chance I get. To those morons who protest at military funerals: ROT IN HELL.
