So long Christmas now bring on the new year!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Here is a video that is a highlight of our Christmas. I can't believe we have just a few more days of 2008. Where did this year go??? I hope to be a better blogger next year, but I think I was better this year than last! ;0) Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful new year and I will see you next year!

It's that time of year...

We finally have some cold temps around so it's getting me in the Christmas spirit. I know we haven't had Thanksgiving yet, but I just love Christmas so much that I wanted to go ahead and dress up my blog since Dean won't let me get the decorations out yet...maybe next weekend... ;0)

Happy Halloweeny!

We had a great time Halloween night! Our niece and nephew had a Halloween party so we went over there for a howling good time. The kids went trick or treating during the party so they could load up on candy...Here are some pics from the highlights of the night...unfortunately I missed my nephew Ethan the toilet... My SUPER cute great nephew Luke the lion...
Jordan the "Spa girl"

All of us in our jammies...the most comfortable costume I have ever worn!

Pumpkin patch...

All J wanted to do was get a pumpkin....I wanted to get pics! So she semi-cooperated so she could get her pumpkin! This may be the last year I can convince her to take pics at the patch... :0(

Fall is in the air....

We finally have some cooler temps, even though today it was 87! So here was our busy day. After church and lunch at mom's, we headed to a piano Halloween party/concert. Jordan did a great job playing her pieces. I uploaded a video of one of the pieces she played "Monster Rock". Then we headed to a fall festival at a local church. Jordan enjoyed a donut-eating contest, face painting ( by her art teacher from school), and playing games and getting a little candy. Then we headed to our niece and nephew's house for pumpkin carving. They had a great time doing that! I was just the photographer... :0) I also got some pics of my super cute great nephew Luke who is 9 months old...what a cutie!! Here are some pics from our busy day...oh, J is a spa girl minus the green face mask...she will have that Friday night....

I can't seem to share pics anywhere else, so I guess my blog will be the place! Here are the pics of my room!

first day of 4th grade...

Well for Jordan anyway...I'm still in 2nd grade! This is her last year at my school, so this is a bittersweet year. Next year I have to send my baby off to another school without me! That will be a traumatic day for sure! But I have a year to prepare for that day!! Anyway, here are a couple pics of us this morning and then with her teacher Mrs. Bond. My first day was good but EXHAUSTING!!! I'm going to bed after this post!! Thanks for taking a look!
