My Latest Project...

Ryan and I decided we would make a calendar to send to his grandmother in California with pics of the family since she doesn't get to see the boys as often as she would like. I went on Kodak Gallery and half-way put one together, and then....I was introduced to scrapblog, and I received an email about their calendars....what...I can make one on scrapblog...so the late nights began....This is what I have been doing instead of preparing for the 14 people coming over to our house tonight! Here are a few I have finished...

These are all pictures of the boys at the family lake house on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas...The kids absolutely LOVE it there!

Love this family and all its craziness...

The only other girls in the family...Shelby so thinks she's princess! Lucky...she's just "lucky" to still be part of the family after chewing: a corner of our brand new family room rug, buffet table in the entry, 2 legs of dining room chair, several steps on the staircase...need I continue...=)

Austin's final year on the Raiders...Thank the Lord...Have you ever heard any stories about little league football in Texas...They're all true! Crazy! It was fun at times, and after 5 years with the same crew, Austin has made some life-long friends.

Halloween is hands-down one of my MOST favorite holidays of the year, and this year was no exception! I especially loved Ryan's costume...Love the tattoo...Rednecks wouldn't get the old name taken off...they'd simply cross it out and write the new one on top! Notice the cobwebs on the fireplace...they were once full of black bats that the boys made, but one by one, they kept disappearing....We finally figured out that Lucky was biting them off and eating them!

These pics are from our summer vacation to Point Clear with my entire family...17 of us! It was so much fun, and I am pretty sure we're going back again this year!


Now that I am almost finished...Ryan....I promise I will, as you have said, step away from the computer and take the first step in beating any addiction...state I have a problem...and I love it! After all, what fun is life if you can't chronicle your memories! =)
