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.

Clean Up and Rearrange 2008

Well, Christmas is over, the tree has come down, the upstairs front room was ready for a little rearranging. First we (James) started in the dining room with a blank wall....
and ended up with a little something to brighten up the blank wall.

Then, I had a bright idea to move the furniture around the living room. When it came time to move the TV and game consoles...there are just too many wires for me to keep straight.

Now, which one went where???

Finally everything was in place....now if I can just get the kids to keep the books put away on the shelves correctly.

We even had room now to bring my computer upstairs.....very happy about that one.

Now, I just need a way to hide those pesky wires.
