Tyler plays B-Taar

Zachary decided he wanted to play guitar again, so after he finished playing electric guitar, Tyler insisted that he play his B-taar, too! Chuck IS playing a real song, but you can't hear him because Tyler is playing so loud! So here he is...playing his B-taar.

I'm so proud of myself!

I figured out how to make my own blog background! There are a few things that I can't get just right...like my header. I would also like to get it stretched to fit my screen, but I've got a 17 inch screen so I'm not sure how to do that without making it look really wierd for everyone else...any pointers, little brother? Chuck's Mozilla looks absolutely off...It's perfect on my desktop, but a little off on my laptop. Regardless...I like it and I'm excited! So much for a Saturday afternoon of wasting time!

Haven't downloaded any new pictures yet this month and I've been sick all this week, but here is a couple pictures from Chuck's trip to CO with his dad.

Tyler and I went to the airport to see him off...this was Chuck's view.

For Hubby...
This isn't exactly how I was going to put these pictures on here, but to save some time and get them on here so my hubby can see them...Hi Honey!!! ....I'm just going to put a few on here now so here you go!

Updates....

Hi anyone out there in blog world that may stop by here. I haven't forgotten about you...just been busy! I have been taking my picture of the day that I mentioned in a previous post and I'll put some of those pictures on some other time, but today is a snow day so all my kids are home from school and I'm not getting anything done that I thought I was supposed to get done!

I do want to update a few things and then I have a little video for you.

My artscow order came in a few weeks ago and I'm quite happy with the way the prints turned out and with the other items that I purchased (some I got free with credits for signing up and referring the site to you!)

Next I'm going to order some photo books with a sale coupon I received from them if I can get them done before the coupon expires!

Here is that link again to artscow if you want to check it out....

I'm back! Can you believe I'm posting 2 days in a row? Don't even know if anyone reads this! Except for my sweet brother! (Love ya, BRO!)

I learned about the idea of taking a picture a day on some scrapbooking blog I frequent called Project 365. I'm not sure which site I found it on, but if you google Project 365 you will find several sites describing the idea. One site that describes it well from previous years is on Photojojo. So far in '09 I've only missed taking a pic of the day one time...granted there's only been 6 days so I'm on a role! So to catch up...here are my pics of the day so far in '09.

1/1/09: Nightime reading with Dad

1/2/09 Basement basketball

1/3/09 Silly faces

1/4/09 no picture

1/5/09 Gettin Down in Da Basement (I think the kids were dancing to Hannah Montana and yes, Zachary is trying to breakdance! He is actually quite good!)

1/6/09 Kindergarten Center time. Z was a little sad being back in school after the holidays and asked if I could help out in the class today so Mrs. G asked if I could come in for Science Lab time. He loves it when I'm the teacher's helper.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well...I'm not promising to post everyday, or even every month...but I'm going to try to post more than last year! How about that for a 2009 goal? I got a new little tiny point and shoot camera to keep in my purse so maybe I'll have a few more shots this year.

These pictures are actually from November.

Two days before his party, Zachary informed me that he not only wanted a Spiderman Cake but that it should be Spiderman climbing up a building! This was my attempt! Yes the building is leaning! It's a little bit of a challenge to go up 4 layers with a cake!

The kids and I went to visit GrandBetty in NC right before Thanksgiving. We went to the Grove Park Inn to see the National Gingerbread entrants.

This picture is from when we went to see Clemson play at UVA. Clemson won! Go Tigers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Yes I know the video is sideways but I figured better a sideways video than no video at all!

This was from T's 3rd birthday. I can't believe he is 3 already!

OK...I know I'm going to ruin the little surprise I'm working on (sorry Scott and Christy) but I just love this new technique I learned from Pamela over at Digitreats and I can't wait to show someone. She scraplifted it from Jenny Seiler and I have to confess I totally scraplifted from Pam! Thanks so much, Pam, for sharing the instructions on how to make this great template!

Here are some more pictures of my new nephew. My brother said, "while mommy was sleeping daddy and baby had a photo shoot." Scott, I think you take fabulous pictures. I've always thought that but I've never seen you take pictures of people...only landscapes. You do a great job! GrandBetty...I hope you and Granddaddy enjoy these pictures!

Holding Daddy's Hand
This is my favorite...he is OUT!

My brother and his wife had their baby!!

Congratulations to Scott and Christy on their precious new baby boy, Gavin.

Again...I'm late with this picture, but I just found it and couldn't resist posting in honor of GeGe! I'm so glad you are feeling better, GeGe! We love you! This picture was taken in February for her 93rd birthday! Hope I look this good if I make it to 93!!!!

Easter Pictures...better a little late than never!

Laurel played violin with the worship team at church for

two songs and Zachary sang with the little children's choir.

And, yes...they did get things in their Easter baskets!

The pictures make it look like there was nothing in them.

I think by the time the picture was taken,

all the goodies were all over the floor!

It Snowed!!!

And daddy missed it! Here are some pictures of our fun morning.

How do you like my new blog header? I got the blog template from Mrswresh.blogspot.com. I'm really enjoying this digital scrapping thing! And here are two layouts I did and printed out with my new photo printer I got for Christmas. If you want the credits for the layouts, just leave me a comment and I'll try to find them. I'm not to good at organinizing my supplies yet.

Here is a new layout from some old pictures (Sept. 07) of Zacahry's first day of preK.

Credits: Template by Andrea Gold, Kit by Simply Sarah and also add-on kits to her 2007 calendar. I don't have time to figure out how to add links to these great, talented ladies, but I'll figure it out later.

Hi all! Hope you are doing well...once again I haven't been doing very well keeping this blog up, but if anyone is paying attention...here is a new layout with a couple of my favorite pictures from our beach trip to Granddaddy and GrandBetty's beach house this summer.

This is a picture from the fourth of July Parade at the lake. Uncle Bob drove me and Laurel in Papa's old T-bird...how fun!!!

Happy Second Birthday, Tyler!

We had a great time with family at Tyler's party. I'm still learning the digital scrapbooking thing so here is another layout using my new photoshop elements software. It's definitley not my favorite layout, but I had the chance to play around with the software a little and don't have time to really find the right paper, etc.
