Stampin Up cards

Look at this fun card! It is made from the new stamp set Build a blossom. We made the petals into butterfly wings, and a leaf into the body. Add some glitter and you have a super quick, fun and sparkly card!

Aiden looking for cows...

Aiden loves the cows! He also loves Merlin! You can't see the cows very well in this picture, but they are there! This is just at the end of our street. He would walk down there saying : "Maaaa, Mmmaaaaa" I asked him, what does a cow say? He answered, "MMaaaaaa" He is soooo smart! Maybe I should look into purchasing a complete advanced toddler curriculm at the local teacher store! I will call them later......

Aiden

This picture is from Christmas 2010, but I just found it on my computer and I love it! Aiden is 10 months old.
I love how happy he is!

Have a great day!

Grand Prix Pictures!!

Last night was the Grand Prix at the church for AWANA. It went really well! Each year gets a little better, a little more organized, and a lot bigger! This year we had over 70 cars racing!! Last year I think we had about 45 cars.

This is Alexandra's "cell phone" car! I love how it turned out!!

"We interupt this race for a very important phone call!"

McKenzie made a TV remote. (sorry about the glare on the photo) I will take a better picture later and try to post it.

McKenzie's car was one of the lightest cars there. It weighed only 2 3/4 oz!! This year you could race up to 8oz!! Even with it so light, it was one of the fastest cars there. It didn't win Speed, but it did keep up!!

Of course, what would a Race be with out HOT DOGS?!! This is Doug, the hot dog man!! He faithfully shows up each week and cooks the hot dogs at AWANA. He had a big job tonight, cooking hot dogs for over 200 people!

After the race was over and most people went home, we let some of the kids race their car down the track for fun! GO MCKENZIE!!

YEAH ALEXANDRA!! Go phone, go!

Ryan needed "help" to take down the track and store it for next year. He had the best helpers there!

All in all, it was a fun night!

Tuesday.....

I like this picture of Joyce and I. Since I took the picture I have a couple of extra chins, but I still like it!

Today is Class Picture day. Alexandra also has a field trip. They are going to Cherry Point for a tide walk. (muddy, slippery, wet, and fun!) I think their pictures are before the field trip. I hope!

Tonight is Grand Prix. They will be racing their cars they made. Pictures will be posted tomorrow!

More pictures from my archives!

Lesley bought Mom a handmade watch for Christmas. Mom loved it. Mike??? Not so much!!!

I love the expression on his face! Please let us know how you really feel Mikey! :)

Joyce and her Great-Great-Grandson Aiden!!! (Christmas 2010)

Here is Aiden fresh from his bath with the cutest shirt on! It says "I love Grandma!" I made sure I got it a little big so he can wear it longer! :)

Have a great Tuesday!!

just another manic monday....

Well, it hasn't really been manic. That was just the first title to pop into my head!

So, the picture folder I opened today?

Disneyland!!

The girls and I are sooo excited to go back! It will be a couple of years before we can afford it, but we are planning, planning, planning! We haven't decided if we want to go back to Disneyland, or save longer and take a week or so and go to Disney WORLD!!!

We shall see!

This is going to be a busy week for us! Today is dentist appointments for the girls. Just checkups and floride today. We will be missing McKenzie's first outdoor soccer practice today because of it.

Tomorrow we will be missing Alexandra's first outdoor practice because of the Grand Prix! The girls will be racing their cars (or cell phones and remotes!)

Then it is Paper Route Wednesday.

Thursday is both soccer practices and Stampin up! Almost at the same time!! That will take a bit of juggling!

Friday and Saturday I work.....

Have a great day!!

Hovander Park 2008....

SMILE!!!

I have been going through my pictures on my computer and I found some from Hovander Park. I had taken some of my summer day care kids there on a field trip. I love this picture of them holding hands and walking back to the car. Brandon is not pictured in this picture because he was laying on the ground next to his mom throwing a hissy fit! We met Lesley and Teresa at the park too.

Derek, McKenzie, Colton, Emily, Mia, Alexandra, and Logan

Still best friends!!

McKenzie and Emily are still best friends! They met in Preschool when they were three. They are now 9 (Emily is still 8) and in 3rd grade. They are still just as cute as they are here!
