Mother's Day


As many of you know we have been working on a old farmhouse for what seems like an eternity. There are parts of the house that get remodeled depending on how the weather is. Our utility/office/scrapbook/art room was almost finished last Thanksgiving, but Niagra falls decided to make an appearance and set us back almost a year. When Mike asked me what I wanted for Mother's day, I said don't spend any money, just finish my room...The boys and he worked very hard the past 2 days making it all come together. They pulled an all nighter of painting and hanging shelves. I was unable to look in the room when I came home this morning from work. I ate a nice breakfast that Reece had prepared and proceeded to bed. Once awake I was blind-folded and then walked into the room. What a surprise I had found! I can't wait to arrange my cabinets and get to scrapbooking. Reece has pulled out all of his and Cole's art over the past year and we now have it displayed. The tulips were picked from my flower garden and Cole helped run the wiring for the wireless internet. Let the scrapbooking begin...

Happy Mother's Day to Me!

7th/8th Grade Spring Dance





Cole thought there was too much "hype" in getting ready for the dance! This made me sad and at that moment I wished I had a girl... He was down to the wire in getting ready. I made about 4 dozen cookies to take and he would not walk in with me. He walked about 100 feet behind. He didn't want anyone to know I was his Mom. I also had to leave my camera in the car! Do you know how hard that was! Once in the door and seeing some of the girls and their choice of dresses, I was glad I had a BOY... After being in the dance for an hour or so it was OK that he come up to ME and want me to look on my phone for the score of the Cub Game! OH... Too be a Teenager!

It All started with the haircut!

Weekend Scrapbooking







I have recently returned from a much needed mini-vacation with my wonderful friends. We had a great time re-nourishing our souls and archiving our lives for our family's families to come. I am very excited about digital scrapbooking. My friend Tammy is a genious and can figure out anything. I am diving in. Here are a few examples I put together...
