Favorite pictures from the family reunion 6/21/08

We went to Bill's family reunion yesterday. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the event. This is Addie playing on the slide.

Layout--Addie and Baby

Here is a layout I created for a challenge at Scrappin Mojo. The challenge was to use at least one square and 9 of something else. I used 9 square spaces and 9 flowers on the layout. This is a rare sight of Addison sitting with a baby doll. She is so not a girly girl. She would rather play with Spiderman, Batman, other superheros, Cars, etc. But I caught her eating pretzels and snuggling up to her baby!!!

Fun in the Sun layout/Addie's artwork

This is Addie playing on the slip and slide at the birthday party we went to a couple of weeks ago.


While I was creating this layout, Addie played with the stamps that I was using. She took a picture of her artwork.

I've been tagged

Designs by Nanny (my momma) has tagged me with this list of questions.

The "rules" of the game: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Ten Years Ago: I moved in with my grandmother after I bad break up with my ex-finance. I had given up the house I was renting with my roommate because I was moving to Alabama where my ex lived. I had moved all of my stuff there so my family and I had to go back to retrieve all of my belongings.

Five things on todays to do list:
1. Oil change in my car.
2. Bank to make a deposit
3. Scrapbook a couple of pages for challenges at Scrappin Mojo.
4. Vacuum
5. Continue the job search.

Snacks I enjoy: I'm a chocoholic so anything chocolate.

Things I would do if I were a millionaire: Buy a new house and new cars. I would invest the rest so I could hopefully live comfortable the rest of my life.

Places I have lived: I have lived in Little Rock and Benton.

Now I have to tag some of you. I am tagging Lisa , Kylie, Dianna , Deanna, and Amy .

The places you will go

And somewhere is where we went

Yesterday, Addie and I first visited my parents. We had lunch from Sonic. Addie and Pawpaw played computer games. Mom showed me her new stamps. We had a nice time. Here are some pictures we took:

Addie and Pawpaw saying cheese!!!!!

Here is Pawpaw, Addie and me.

Addie took this picture of Mom, Dad and me. She takes pretty good pictures for a 3 year old.

Next we were off to Gram and Pop's.

Here is Pop and Addie walking in their yard.

Addie discovered some noise makers in the garage. Pop said she should take them home but I said we should leave them at their house for her to play with when she comes over. Thank goodness, I won the arguement.

Next, we crashed my brother's in law birthday party. It was his birthday and they were having cake in his honor. Addie stayed with Uncle Greg while my sister in law took me to their adopted grandmother's to show me all the work she has done on her house. This woman is truly amazing. She is 78 years old and guess what??? ...She scrapbooks! I got to see the scrapbooks she has made. She has been redoing her bathroom and has put up new wallpaper (all by herself.) She has a massive doll collection. And her kitchen was decorated in summer theme. She changes for each season. I was totally impressed. I am going to take some of my scrapbooks over this week to show her mine.

Poor Bill ended up having to work all weekend. He didn't have much of a Father's Day. I ordered one of Pizza Hut's new pasta dishes for our Father's Day dinner. (We didn't get home until almost 7:00pm and I didn't feel like cooking.) The pasta was yummy!!!!

1st Dentist Visit Layout

Well, I am on the ball this morning!!!! Poor Addison "wants to go somewhere" and I am telling her.."just let Momma finish this layout please!! Then we will go somewhere." I completed this layout for the color challenge at Scrappin Mojo. The colors for the challenge are Blue, Green, Yellow and Brown. And this layout gets me out of the triple digits of completing 183 layouts for the year.....99 to go to complete 183 layouts!!!!!


Well, I am off "to go somewhere."
