Hello Again...

It's been a heck of a week around here! Busy bees; that's what we are. We had the Pinewood Derby races, a visit from Brandon's mom, a nasty cold, jury duty, taxes, purging, teacher conferences, fund raising and very little scrapbooking. Whew! Somewhere in there we even managed to hang out as a family and make dinner on a daily basis.

We had a great time at the Pinewood Derby, jury duty was depressing and having a cold all last weekend sucked, but we've still had fun. We watched Zombieland last night (yes, I know it's totally gross and probably not the best movies to let my kids watch) and we laughed our butts off! Totally silly and funny!

I'm still taking a photo a day for the most part. Having lots of fun with it. Trying to show our daily lives through the eye of a lens can be a fun challenge.

So, here's a little peak at some recent daily photos...
February 3rd - Bryan the Spy. Those glasses are part of his disguise.


January 22nd - Joshua created a Little People Parade in his room. Made me smile when I saw it later.


January 29th. My pretty heart box. My plan is to fill it with little strips of paper with random ideas written on them for the times when my scrapping mojo takes a vacation.



January 25th - Percy Jackson and the Olympians series has been WAY fun to read with Bryan. We have both been really enjoying them. This was the last book. So good!!

I like all your pictures, I love the colors of that blanket, did you just make it? I don't remember seeing it on my last trip.

I also love Joshua's little people city, he did a great job!

Snow Flakes in TX

Image
We woke up this morning to fluffy, white snow everywhere. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen were falling from the heavens. It is just beautiful out there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my house?? This shot totally cracks me up - Joshua on the receiving end of a massive snow ball from his big brother!! Joshua stuffing what's left of our broken flag pole... Just playing it cool until he could sneak up behind Bryan with that snowball. Not entirely sure, but I think he was taste testing that snow... Such a great smile - love it! Pretty sure he is up to no good. LOL ! Ahhh - the grassy snow man that just wouldn't stop falling apart. He was focused though... DEFINITELY up to no good! Check out all of that snow falling! Snow angel made by my #1 angel. Another gorgeous smile! I just like this photo because of all the snow falling around them. I think they both ended up with snow down their front collars on this one. It was a lot of fun watching them play in th

Blogging for Scrapbookers

Image
I'm taking my first online class from http://www.shimelle.com/ . Although, I've been blogging since the end of 2006, I think there is definite room for improvement. I'm not the most consistent person in the world (and boy, do I wish that was the case) and I'm not the most articulate either... There are a few things I hope to get out of this class: Some tips and tricks on blog design (I have already benefited in this department) Some friendly reminders pertaining to writing techniques I would love for this to help me develop some habits - like maybe posting more frequently I want to develop my blog into, not only a place to keep family and friends up to date, but a place I can go back to in order to jog my not-so-spectacular-memory. I love to scrapbook, but I find myself forgetting the details so often. It would help to be able to come back here and say "oh ya, that's what I wanted to remember about Christmas morning 3 years ago". Cause let's face it, I

First Day of 1st Grade

Image
Bryan has been in school for 3 weeks now. He is having a great time in first grade and doing pretty well. He is loving the fact that he is a "veteran" student and knows his way around and what is expected of him. First Grade comes with a LOT of homework and tests and we've all come to realize that it is going to require a lot more effort on all of our parts to keep him ahead of the pack. They have mixed up what were the two Kinder. classes, so some of his friends are in his class and some are from the other K class from last year. It's great since he will get to know a lot more kids in his year.
