New pages ...

No, this is not my child! :) I just got inspired to do some new pages when my co - worker showed me some pictures of her little boy, Sam. Fun stuff!

Not much to say...

Not much to say on a lazy Friday night... It's been a crazy week and I am so happy to be home with the people that I love the most - est... =)

Spring is in the air and it's been a long winter. I am so happy that the good weather is upon us. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters. I was playing around with my new phone and camera app the other night and caught some cute pix of my babies.

Happy 8th Birthday to Ashley!!

Yesterday, we celebrated Ashley's 8th birthday. The party was a hit. We had several friends, family and even Snow White came. Ashley had no idea that Snow White would be joining us. It was a total surprise.

The party was a blast and Ashley had a lot of fun. She got lots of fun gifts. Thanks to every one who came and partied with us.

Happy birthday to my oldest daughter. I love you so much and am so proud of you. You make me so happy and I am so happy and blessed to have you in my life.

Happy 5th Birthday ... Megan Jo!

Happy 5th birthday to my baby girl! We had Megan's party at our house on the 12th of December. It was a cold , snowy and stormy day, but the party turned out to be a lot of fun and Megan had a great time!

Thanks to everyone for coming and making it a great time. And, thanks to Kacy for the idea for the birthday cake!

Thanksgiving Etc...

This past Thanksgiving has been a little crazy in our family. My husband, Dan, broke his elbow in 6 places and had to have surgery this past week. A plate and 7 screws were the answer to that. He now has limited use of his arm for a few weeks and will most likely need to go thru some therapy afterwards to get the use of his arm back 100%.

My nephew, Merrick, also had heart surgery. He is doing well and is a brave little trooper.

I also have a niece who has been battling some of her own demons for the the past year or so, and who has been "estranged" from our family for that time. She is making progress towards closing that gap and seems to be coming back to us.

But, with all that being said, I am still so blessed and thankful for all our wonderful friends and family and for all that we are blessed to have in this life. I have been off work this week for the Holiday and also to help out my husband. It has been a nice week to be home and to be with the family.

I have also been trying to get some more scrapping done since I haven't been able to devote as much time to it is as I'd like...

My attempt at photography

I took the girls to the park today to get some pictures. I have been wanting to get some photos of them with the gorgeous fall colors. While, I am hardly a professional photographer and don't know the first thing about lighting, exposure or any of that other photo jargon... Here are the pix I got. With a little messing around on Abode Photoshop (again no pro), but we had fun and I think some of these turned out cute...

This is my favorite!
