Roller Rink

We all survived the roller rink. Big girl took off immediately since this was her second time, but baby girl was very timid on the skates, determined to fall only when she wanted to or to make hubby and I laugh. Wish the pictures would have been better, but there was no way I wanted to hold the camera while I was on skates because I probably would have shielded the camera in the event of a fall versus my arms or legs. Little man has his first playdate tomorrow, so I'll be scrubbing the house down so the kids can't find any gummi bears or uncooked pasta on the floor. Have a great day!

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday little "E." Wish we could be there to celebrate. 

Love and miss you,

Aunt J and the gang

P.S. Yes, the girls and I hit the roller rink this weekend. I'll post a photo as soon as I do some serious photoshop work on them.

Got Gas?

Pun intended here. We have had a shortage of gas since Hurricane Ike. It is getting better daily, but we have been trying to conserve as much as possible. Yesterday I was able to get enough to drive to the skating rink for Family Fun Day. I had to snap a picture to document the shortage. We have never seen anything like it! As far as scrapbooking the other day, I broke my photo printer trying to print my first photo. Hubby is going to look at it today, but I think we will have to ship it off to be serviced. So this weekend I am getting the digital photos organized and printed and maybe create some cards. The only time I make cards is the annual Christmas one, but I would like to send a few out this week to family and friends back home. I'll post family fun day photos this weekend.

Getting Busy

So I have finally cleaned out the girls scrapbook/playroom. In honor of unpacking the boxes and putting everything where it belongs I am going to take out my paper, adhesive, embellishments photos and celebrate. I signed up for an online design class at Big Picture Scrapbooking to help me get my rump in gear. So while little man sleeps this morning I'll be cutting and pasting. Just because I know there are quite a few of you who log on for the photos, here is one from Sunday. James took all of us to the park after Nana and PawPaw left so we could cheer up. Enjoy.

Thanks Nana and PawPaw

My Five Promises to Nana and PawPaw for Their Next Visit

1. There will not be a single cardboard box in the house (this includes the garage.)

2. We will pan for gold, go to the mountains, tour an old home, or anything else scrapbook worthy. 

3. I will take Nana shopping on the first day so she can have the entire visit to decide what items she really wants to buy.

4. PawPaw will sit in a racecar, or we will sit outside Jeff Gordon's building until we catch a glimpse of him.

5.  I will not try to reheat anything resembling chicken and dumplings and serve it to you on Game Day. It's Gumbo from here on out!!!!!!

Love and miss you terribly

Early Birthday

We had an early birthday party for little man while the parental units were in town. He tore into his gifts and then all of us yelled at the TV for 3 hours watching the LSU game. Good Times.

Nana and Pawpaw in the HOUSE!!!!!

Nana and PawPaw arrived safe and sound yesterday. We have been busy eating, driving around, being entertained by the girls and took little man for a haircut. Today we headed off to the Lowes Motor Speedway and literally took a lap around the track with Mr. Bob the tour guide driving! He we all are in Victory Circle. I just wish we would have have a gallon of milk and a trophy. Tomorrow we will brave the weather and venture out again.  Stay tuned. . . 

P.S.   Aunt G- I wanted to let you know that the kids got their "happy mail" yesterday and were besides themselves. Love and miss you too.
