The Nursery Nest Designer Series Paper was perfect for my page.  Don't you love the ric rac?  I made this with the Tasteful Trim die – I've used this die so much in the past for my card making too!!!

Don't you LOVE the little owl?

And here's my finished page – with an adorable chubby baby…yes that's Hailey! She was so round when she was a baby that she had 4 rolls on the inside of her thighs!  I can remember taking her up north to visit grama and papa and my mom said "oh my – what have you done to my baby?"  She was such a chunker!!!

In other news…It's been extremely stressful around here since last Saturday…we've hit a few bumps and our pool guy really let us down – mind you…I've been working with this guy for 14 years – one of his best pool customers!  I called last week to inform him that we were replacing our pool liner on Saturday.  "Oh, dont' worry Kelly, I'll have everything ready for you!"  When I showed up on Saturday – nothing was ready…NOTHING!  I spent 45 minutes running around his building with him trying to find all the seals, gaskets and face plates that we needed.  I needed about 20 different items and left with 3…YES – I said 3!  Then when the guys went to set the liner in place – some rods were missing.  I think this was almost the last straw for hubby…when he called the pool guy he insulted hubby and hubby hung up!  Too bad for him we won't be seeing him anymore…

Here's the start of the fiasco…

And when I left for soccer last night….things were starting to look up…WAYYYY UPPPP!  YIPEE!!!  Huge thanks to son-in-law Scott Haag and friend Eric Meyer – they've been amazing!  And the biggest THANKS goes to hubby – he's been the one in charge of all the maintenance, winterizing and opening of my BABY for the last 14 years – I use my pool almost everyday in the summer and he spends 10 minutes a week in it!  He's a GREAT pool boy – with benefits!!!  Hopefully – my next update will have a pool full of water – that stays full of water!
