Bathtime

One day when we let the dogs in, we noticed they had a little smell to them....not a real pleasant one, so we decided it was definately bath time.
Sasha is absolutely NOT a fan of bathtime...as you can see by the look on her face before hand. Even though she hates it, she is so happy when it is over.
Ariel doesn't mind it as much....I think she just really looks forward to playtime afterward.

1/2 the kids are gone.....

Ok, there are no pictures to go with this one, but I had to make a little note about how quiet it is at my house right now. Two of my kids have went to their friends' houses for the night. Now I can really see how much easier it is for those of you that only have 2.

I might actually even get to sleep in tomorrow, since the two that left (Kameryn to her bff Mirandah's and Skylar to his friend Conner's bday) are the ones that get up WAY TOO EARLY!! Somedays I think they would be the ones to wake up the rooster if we had one.

New toy for me.....

After hearing how fun the Wii Fit is, we found one and decided to buy it. So far it is day 1, it will be interesting to see how it works as time goes on.

James tried it when he got home...his body age is '37' and he is really 36.....mine says '32' and I am really older than that.

Turning '9'

I couldn't find any good recent pictures of Skylar from soccer season, so I decided to go with a birthday page instead.

Austin Fall Soccer 2008

As I continue to figure this out, I realized I still needed a page for Austin and Skylar. We'll shoot for one today and one tomorrow.

Kameryn...Prima Ballerina.

Ok, I am loving this program.
Here is Kameryn at one of her dance lessons. I wish I could still bend and twist like that...then again, I don't remember if I ever could.

Baseball 2008

I found another scrap program to use....this is getting to be fun.
This is Brady's first year in Minor's baseball. It was a little different for him since the kids are now being the pitchers. He got hit a few times by "Wild Pitches", but that is all part of the learning process.

Scrap page...will it work??

I found a new program for digital scrapbooking and wanted to just see if I could get to work or not. I tried with some pictures I had from July 4, 2008.

New Year's Eve 2008

The kids kept asking (begging) to stay up to welcome in the New Year. I was too tired to know if I would even stay awake until then, so I left that decision up to James....he said YES.

We did manage to get a picture with me and all the kids....that doesn't happen very often since I don't like having my picture taken. I read on another post how important it is to get pictures no matter what to preserve the memories, so I gave in.

Here it is at 12:00 am on January 1, 2009.....is it just me, or do they look a little tired???

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.
