Addicted to Scrappin?

At Sweet Shoppe this week they posed the question, "How do you kill time on-line?" What is my favorite "non-scrapping" internet time waster? I must say that pretty much- well all my "fun" time online is scrap related. Does this mean I'm addicted? I believe so. Now, if I were my sister, or my friend JJ (you know who you are) I could list a gadzillion websites that I HAVE to peruse daily. But for me, I'm happy spending all my time scrappin'!

Mischief

I took this pic last year of the kids and I just thought it was so cute! They were so intent on what they were doing it never even dawned on them that maybe they shouldn't be putting their dirty feet in our water pitcher.

You call it fun...I call it mischief. I should have know something was amiss when I heard the kitchen sink continually running. However, I was a little too busy scrapbooking to check on you two and when I finally arrived in the kitchen it was to find you both enjoying yourselves immenslely, playing in the water and washing your feet in the water pitcher. I scolded you for good measure and then ran to get the camera. It was just too cute and who cares about a little toe jam in the water anyway?

An evening at the Park

Dale's softball season just ended so we went to watch him play at one of his last games. One of the parks where he plays has a really nice playground and the kids really enjoyed playing before the game started.

An evening in the park before Daddy's softball game. What a joy to watch you laugh and play.

Brooke's 1st day of Kindergarten

This is was a big day for us. I thought we were both really ready for her to go to kindergarten but it's been pretty lonely around here without "sissy" around. And after the first couple days of school she has been pretty sad each morning to have to leave her brothers at home. She seems to think that they are having too much fun without her. If she only knew :)

Brooke, I cannot believe that your first day of kindergarten has arrived. You have grown so quickly it seems. You are the light in your Daddy’s eye and the joy of your Mommy’s heart. We are so proud of the unique and bright and beautiful 5 year old you have become. Today you start a new journey and we are so excited for you - for what and who you will become. We are praying that as you grow in knowledge that your heart will always stay as tender as it is today. We pray for each teacher who will guide you that they will only teach you good and

Completely and Totally Happy

These pics were taken at Megan's wedding in Destin, FL. Being on the beach in the warm sun was so relaxing. The kids loved it! Today Connor saw this layout and he said, "My want to go back to the beach." You know, we used to live 5 miles from the beach. What were we thinking?

It's A Guy Thing

I really think these pictures speak for themselves. Randy took these at Liam's 1st b'day party and I've been waiting to scrap them (I'm not sure why...I guess I haven't been inspired). I think they are so cute and so hilarious!
