Yea...I figured out how to do a header for my blog!

Nothing fancy...but I made it, but I must give credit for the doodling...my online 123-Scrap friend, Dawn! Thanks Dawn!!

My Family

Its Sunday!!

I LOVE Sundays!
Up early for Church. (well that part is hard...but its fine once I am up and showered!)
Back home for lunch and then a nice nap! Isn't that what Sundays are for!

BUT it is sooooo pretty here today..sunny and 70s and here I sit at the pc!
After dinner, I will be walking(have been every night with DH for weeks now!)
I need to get to that mint by our steps in the backyard...a couple of dear scrapping online friends told me what I needed to do with it...DIG IT UP~ That will not be an easy job...but it is taking over the area to our pool and nothing else will grow. Hopefully need to get to that tonight and this week...

Recent LOs

Curriculum Fair was great! Saw alot...bought some things we needed! I finally got through most of all the catalogs I got....and now we need to finish up school and then I will decide on what else is needed. I got through some of my homeschool cabinet and pulled out some books we no longer can use...sold them on Vegsource for a nice chunk-of-change.

So, I finally got some time to put up a few LOs...first one is of our DD at her recent birthday at her grandparents...they always celebrate her birthday before we drive to home.

This one is from a sock exchange the Youth girls had this past Christmas....

Hopefully will have more time this weekend to scrap some more...

Curriculum Fair tom'w...

I so need to get my book list ready for it!

Its great to have homeschooled for 14 years...you are NOT swayed by the latest curriculum.
HOWEVER, being a book lover, even a list cannot stop me from purchasing something new!

I look forward to seeing all the new stuff out there...we are pretty set on Math and English and having those books already passed down from our graduated son helps!

Another thing...this is the LAST week of my BIG Picture Scrap booking 12 wk class, "Library of Memories" with Staci Jullian of Simple Scrapbooks. I am sad and glad...its been a GREAT class!
Everything is saved and printed out to start on when school is over. I need to begin scrap booking again and this class will help me to accomplish a goal for the year.

Well, off to begin the day with our children!

Our youngest turned 10 today!

So hard to believe our baby is growing up!



It was a fun day for him...we had a wee party for him with 3 of his friends here at the house.

Played a few games, ate hot dogs and had a cookie cake complete with a Pikachu cake topper!

He got a few of his favorite things...Pokemon cards and Bionicles! What every parent wants to

hear, "It was the best birthday ever!"

My Birthday!

Hard to believe another year has come and gone...but what a year its been.


I am blessed beyond words with dear family and friends...BUT


My most wonderful blessing...


DH and I celebrated our 24th anniversary just last week!


What better present to have for this birthday~
