I have another thing to brag about with my boys…well Tobyn to be exact! He got a certificate in assembly today for great improvement in his overall class attitude! So he wasn’t having as good a week this week. It was OK, but not as good as last week, until he got this certificate. He was so pleased with himself and apparantly he got a huge applaud! Unfortunately I don’t get to the assemblies because Isaac is usually sleeping at this time, so I missed his presentation.
Tobyn had his 2nd hockey game this morning and he had a great game. He was open and a couple of the boys passed to him. The team won this week 4-3. Go team.
Steve is HOME, yay! We are all very pleased. We spent the day just blobbing around together. All feeling a little tired and not up top much else. But it has been so nice to be the 4 of us again. I know heΒ has a ‘little’ something for my birthday but I am not goo dat surprises! And I want it NOW. Argh, have to wait a couple more weeks.
I have a couple of layouts to share. The first one is one of my UFO’s from camp (UFO means unfinished objects, deffinaition for my Mum and anyone else who didn’t know) I like this layout but won’t be entering it into any challenges or submissions

And my 2nd layout to share. This one I created by chance of finding the photos. I came across some old albums and found a dozen or so crappy photos from my marching days. I was about to toss them all and then I thought I should cut them down and do another BOM page, which then ended up as a double. Now this is amazing, not only have I used more than 1 or 2 photos but it is a double as well!!! I am branching out LOL.

I was a marching girl for about 8 years. It was a HUGE part of my life. Every summer just about every weekend was spent marching somewhere in the lower North Island. I loved it at the time but I did miss out on a lot socially in my teens. I wonder if that was a big reason why I was awkward around boys in my teens, most of my weekends were spent with very few boys around!
Right, off to spend some time with my man, ciao for now.
I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of your bragging … it’s nice to hear about your boys achievements. Go Tobyn on this one!
Yay that Steve is home … wonder what you’ll get for your birthday then.
I always wanted to be a marching girl … but I was never allowed. Looks like lots of fun although I don’t think I would have enjoyed the no boys part!
Huge congrats to Tobyn on his certificate – well done!! And yes, you can brag as much as you like, you are his mum after all! π
Gorgeous layouts as well, I love the first one especially, such great colours.
Yay for having Steve home – those 3 weeks must have felt like forever.
Bragging is never over rated. Well done Tobyn that is awesome!! Even better that the team won and that the boys passed him the ball. That is freaking exciting. Welcome home Steve and Yevtte it must be such a nice feeling the four of you together again. So how many sleeps until your birthday week? Note the word week lol. Like Beverley I thought marching would have been cool to have gotten into when I was younger.
Like the girls said I will never get sick of your bragging…Yay huge congrats to Tobyn and yay, yay, yay that Steve is home!
Love the layouts they are awesome….
Bragging is a great thing!
You’ve got unlimited bragging rights … you go girl!!! It’s great to read of your family’s achievements … never think that others will get sick of it … aint a happening thing.
Very creative … both layouts rock … love the arrows on the marching layout.
Welcome home Steve.
Braggings allowed! Go Tobyn – what a great achievement.
I always wanted to do marching – loved the outfits but wasn’t allowed. Never mind. Had to be content to watch them in the Santa Parades. LOL.
Welcome home Steve.
Well done Tobyn π
The LOs are great π Specially like the arrows on the marching one.
WTG Tobyn! what a fab acheievement! And bragging about kids is the best feeling and always ok!
Woohooo your man is back and your family complete again!

Wow, Tobyn is really on the up and up isn’t he? Just awesome to hear about all his positive steps and endeavours.
PLEASE KEEP BRAGGING???????????????????????
Just love reading about all the successes!
Awesome stuff Tobyn! Well done to you π
i think it’s the Mother’s right to be able to brag about cool stuff like that so brag all you like there Yvette!!
I was a marching girl too – for all of the practice weeks before the main event. {Mum felt the need to give me “that” talk and it freaked me out so much cos it seemed to have something to do with marching and I figured if that was what was going to happen when I wnet to comps, no way was I going!!!!} Too funny now!! I miss the fact I didn’t keep going, and now sometimes wish I could still do it.
YAY Tobyn that is super awesome and yay for Steve being home and time to blob together π And I love the masterpiece painting, why must they always eat it LOL
WOW you we a marching girl? that is soooo cool!!! Where will your talents end π
