Snow pictures






I finally have some snow pictures:


Em and Addy

The girls being pulled by the 4-wheeler


The adults enjoying some snow time .... this is the life, letting the 4-wheeler get you UP the hill!

Just quickly checking in and scrapbooking

I don't have any "great" pictures to share today and I hate that. I really like to share pictures, but since I haven't brought any to work lately.. nothing to share thats new.


I do want to say I'm rocking at Scapbooking right now. Since cheering is over for the moment for Em, I acutally have extra time on my hands! Especially this week since it's Springbreak! NO HOMEWORK!!!! She really has a lot of homework during school and it's hard on her. She is just so social and active that after sitting in class all day, it's a lot to ask her to sit for another couple hours after school. But, its all worth it for a good education. Something I can say I didn't get. Hopefully all this work now will pay off when she start college. From what I understand, that's what private schools do, prepare you for college. I know it's preparing me for a monthly school payment! Whew! Only 9 more years to go till no more school payment! (that only includes 3 yrs of college!)


So, here's something to share:

The first two are Christmas Eve, Em and Dad, Em and Me.

This picture was Christmas morning .... her "big" gift. A 32" Flatscreen TV for her room. It's mounted and has the satelite hooked up to it now. Nice for a 10 yr old huh?

Thats all for now!

MORE SNOW!!!!!!

We got great snow Saturday (March 8). In our area we got about 4-5" and by 10:00 it was perfect for sledding, which we did ALL DAY! Our friends, the Holmes', came over with their two girls and we had at least 5 sleds to use and eventually brought out another one later in the day. The grown-ups even had fun. We had a Four-wheeler that we used to bring us back up the hill, which I think helped us sled longer. Plus after the sun came out, it was pretty comfortable if you weren't wet. I'll post pictures soon, promise.

The only thing is I didn't get to go to my crop Friday night because the weather was headed in and DH said if I went he wasn't coming out to get me if I got stuck. So I opted to stay home and you know what, I only got 1 double page spread started ... not even finished. Of course, Friday night I didn't do anything but watch TV. I love "Bones" and for some reason, I rarely get to watch it. Then I watched "Ghost Whisper" and then flipped the channels, looking for something - but really didn't find much after 9:00 pm. Then Saturday sledding all day. Em had a friend over Saturday night, so I did start the layout, but ended up reprinting all the pictures to make them work in the sketch I wanted to use. So I did a little Saturday, did a little Sunday and even sat down and put the starting of the title on the page last night. Maybe I get it finished tomrrow .... how terrible is that. 5 days to do one double page layout, using a sketch no less!!!

By the way, I love Becky Flakes sketch ...... great ideas!!!!


What about Day's of Our Lives. I can't believe that Bo is leaving - he is right? I think I read that on the front of Soap Opera digest. Why would he be leaving - maybe that is totally wrong!! I would hate it! Anyways, gotta run!

Blogy ya later - hopefully with pictures!
