A Weekend Full of Princesses

This past weekend, I had my cousin's daughters, Jade and Kambrin Jo. We went to AJ's last football game (pictures are forthcoming), played dishes and had a BBQ with some friends. My computer is really slow tonight, so sorry for the short post, but enjoy the pictures. :)

AJ's Football Game Pics

So for the past couple of weekends, our Saturday ritual has been to trek out to my nephew's, AJ, football games. To where ever the team is playing that weekend. Dan, who is a very good photographer (in my opinion) got some really good pictures of the football star in action.

Due to an injury, Alex's season unfortunatley got cut short, I am sad to say. It was really was really fun to watch him play while he did though. He was the star of his team, never getting pulled out and playing up to 3 different positions. Last Saturday, his team won their first game. I am glad he got one win under his helmet before his season ended.

Here are some of the pictures that we got...

Get out of my way!!

I said, get out of my way!!

I scrapped this page with some of the pictures we got for AJ. I know how much he loves football and thought he would like a momento of one of his favorite sports.

We had a fun and busy weekend. My cousin's daughter, Jade (who might as well be my niece) spent the weekend with us. We had busy days and late nights. Here are some of the pics:Megan Jo being tired and grumpy on the couch... I really don't think she wanted her picture taken at this precise moment.
Ashley and Jade listening to Ashley's MP3 player together. Jade was also simultaneously talking to Kassie Jo on the phone. She is already multi - tasking...
Jade's close up
Today, we took flowers to my mom's gravesite. Jade, Ashley and Megan visited with Grandma Debbie for a bit. Ashley told me she could hear grandma's spirit talking to her, telling her she loved her. It made me tear up for a minute. This was also Jade's first visit to see grandma Debbie's grave. We sat and visited with her for a minute. It was a nice afternoon for it.

Congrats Shannon and Josh!

I just found my sweet cousin, Shannon Jo, set up her own blog. I stole this picture. She and her fiance, Josh, live in Colorado. They are to be married sometime next year. Congrats to the both of you! Can't wait to see you again. :)

More New Pages...

This picture was taken at Grandma and Grandpa Strong's house. The girls just love playing their piano...

Yeah, I know. Pretty boring post huh? But I just love finding new freebie downloads and working with them. I have my neice (might as well be) Jade over this weekend and got some cute pics of the girls playing together...

Scrapping Away the Weekend

I had some help from my little ladies scrapping this page with a picture taken of them with Grandma and Grandpa Strong tonight. We went up to their house for a visit today and I snapped some photos. With their help, we put this very colorful page together. Ashley and Megan told me what embellishments to pick and to where to put them. They are discovering how fun scrapping can be.

I also downloaded this new kit from The Shabby Princess and made this page of some of the girls pictures.

This weekend was Labor Day weekend and was really pretty low - key. We have been working on the yard (see pics below) to put in our sprinkler system. With the rain over the past two days, the most work we got done was on Saturday. Dan rented a mini - tractor thing and dug the trenches, he got the pipe laid and sprinkler heads attached. We started filling the trenches in Saturday but took a break to go to a rodeo, and AJ's football game. Then ended up having dinner with friends. . . So then came Sunday and Monday and lots of rain...
