Its a Boy Thing

This morning I had some scraps and put some cards togethers.  I also pulled out some older pictures of Noah from when he was a baby.  I had these papers and had to do something with them, so today's LO is about being a boy!

Forty

Well, Curt turned 40 this last year!  We travaled ou tto California so spend it with his family and some friends from high school.  We had a great time getting together and telling old stories.  Today's LO shows the photos from the party-

Swim

This LO is of Abra and Noah with their cousins Gracie and Ellie.  I was amazed when teh water turned out soooo blue!  What a great set of pictures!

Horsing Around

This is a continuation of yesterday's LO-I had a few more pictures to use!

Riding High

Today's LO is from our trip to the Wisconsin Dells in 2005.  WE found this great little pplace to take the kids horseback riding-only $15 per person!  We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge and had a fantastic time on this trip!

Popcorn Balls

Remember when kids smiled at the simplest things.  When the kids and I wook our trip to Seattle in 2005, we went through Mitchell, SD.  The Corn Palace was just one of our many scenic stops.  While there, I snapped this picture of them chowwing down on the biggest popcorn balls I have ever seen!  Here they are:

Come Together

This LO is a cutie-I love these pictures of Abra and Noah.  The fence in the background really ties them together in the separate pictures.  I think it really speaks to how they have their differences, but so often "come together" to enjoy each other.

Out on a Limb

Today's LO is one of Abra and Noah hanging out in a tree with some of their cousins...having a great time!  These photos are from October 2008.

Halloween '09

Today's LO is from this past Halloween-not so long ago.  This was just a matter of getting my photos on a page.  I didn't feel to great earlier, and didn't have much energy or mojo.

We are Family

Here's a LO showing my kids and their favorite cousins-Amy and Jacob.  This photo is from our 2009 trip back to CA.  Also shown is a picture of one of four cards I made with some scraps.

Take 2

Here is the other half of yesterday's LO.  This one shows little Noah with his usual dirt and grime-the other photo is all 3 kids at the Superman statue in Metropolis, IL.

When the girls were small...

My LO today shows Jacie and Abra, when they were each aboout 3 years old, showing off themselves!

I love Jacie's curls!

Yellowstone

Thsi one has been a long time in coming-almost 6 years!  It just goes to show that I have a lot of catching up to do!  This was such a fun trip-just the kids and I for 2 weeks.

A busy day off...

Well, today was a day off and I sure was busy.  Here are some pictures of cards and a LO of the kids.  The picture shows them in the backyard after the ice storm of 2006.

Poochie Pie

Here's on of our favorite little dos-Gizmo!  She is such a happy, playful little thing.  She just loves, loves, loves everyone!

6 Birds-Eagles to be exact!

Today we took a family field trip to the Alton Area to see the eagles who migrate to the area each winter.  We were lucky this year and saw 6!

Joy with Dad

Here's one of Jacie and Curt at the End of the School Year party at my school.  I so love the little bird on this page!

Noah's Pu-Pu Face

Here's a LO with some cute pu-pu faces of Noah.  He was 3 in these pictures and looks soooo cute!

Sun & Fun

This LO is from our trip to Mexico in 2006.  This is one of my favorite pictures of myself-I remember feeling great!  Anyway, we went sailing and snorkeling on this day and had a fun time with our family!

Club Med

Here's a LO of my kiddos from our 2006 trip to Club Med, Ixtapa, Mexico.  We had a great time and hope we can make it back one day soon!
