Garrett's Ninth Bday!!!

Here are some of the pages of my Baseball loving son's big day...This is fast approaching "AGAIN". Garrett birthday is November 19th and I always feel the presure come on every

September about where we are going to have the party. Outside is usually out of the question.

Last year we did the bowling alley which was so fun, everyone had a great time. The cake was cupcakes made into the cadinals bird emblem, totally rocked!!!!! I want to go to the pumkin patch this year and do the corn make and hay ride. Garrett wants to go to laser tag in Branson!!!

What he does not understand is I cannot haul 20 plus kids to Branson in a Jeep....

I love his birthday and the celebration, I always say that is my favorite holiday of the year. So on that note I really want to take him to laser tag.....

You all have a great week, I will not be posting due to some out patient surgery I am undergoing tomorrow. Please pray for my Docter and my body to heal quickly!!!!!!

Have a blessed day,

Tracy

Have you ever seen a Cheeto eating bull???? Now you can say you have,

This little red bull, aka, "Chester the Cheeto eater" has been hand fed every since we got him. He was just a little bull calf when we started hand feeding him baby carrots!!! He is hilarious, we didn't have any carrots while out cruzing the fields checking the cows but we had cheetos. I told Carl, feed him some cheetos, oh my gosh!!! That little bull loved them, he had his whole head in the car trying to get more, couldn't feed him fast enough. We would try to get away from him and he would chase the car. Luckily we had been to the creek and I had my best friend the Canon Rebel with me to capture the moment. We laughed to tears!!! We had a great time, funny how such a small unplanned moment can give you a memory of a life time. That's what it's all about for me.

I thought the pictures were a hoot and sent the straight away to my DH's brother and sister in KS. Why keep the laughing to ourselves!!!! I am so blessed.

Have a great day,

Tracy

Mom's Birthday Card

Here is my mom's belated Birthday Card, because of the in-service and my lack of pre-planning she will be getting it late but at least she will still get it. I used the Silouhette papers, Storybook Cricut Cartridge, diamond glaze stickles and our awesome CTMH liquid glass.
Love you mom!!!!

Have a blessed day,
Tracy

What a week and glad it's done!!!!

If you are wonder what the pictures are of it's my paying job that helps feed the family and buy scrapbook supplies....yes it's my administrative position as Special Education Secretary for the Coop. We hosted a 500 teacher in service!!! Yes, we did!! It was a lot of work but it was the best most organized one so far. Way to go team, I have to say I have great Coordinators to work for, Carla is an great presenter and Lesa is a talented organizer with visions to work towards and me I am the compliment, hands and feet to both. I also have a 3rd Coordintor that I work for her name is Lesa also....yep can you believe I have two sups with the same name spelled the same way??? Anyway, she will help with the festivities and assist in ideas for the next in-service, being new she really was not sure of the duties. This is a big undertaking!!! It totally exhausted the team and we had to bring in other members of the Coop to make it a success but we did it and as a team.

A birthday Card

Hi to all in Blog Land!!! It's a beautifuld day here in the Ozarks, the sun is shining and there is a gentle breeze. We were going to swim but we just didn't think it was hot enough so the guys are creek fishing and I am home getting the house in order. They asked me to go but I like being able to do housework without them under foot. I need to get the house in order so my week will run smooth. Especially with school starting we will have to do things differntly, like go to bed before 10:30!!!! Yuck, I wish we had more summer vacation, I have no idea where it went but it's GONE!!!!!

So Carl asked me to make his mom and niece birthday cards, I was happy to and surprized he asked!!!! So here is what I came up with and I don't think he liked his mom's. I love it, but Carl is not an out of the box kind of guy. You would never catch him in bright colors or hear him in a crowd of people, he is just a reserved type of guy. So I will probably hive that one to my mom and make another, so tell me what you think.

Have a blessed day,

Tracy

HI, It's been a while.....Daddy page and a New Blog!!!!!

Hi, if anyone is out there. It's been very busy crazy time in our neck of the woods. It is sure to settle down with school starting next week. Most moms are generally happy for school to start again but it makes me sad to see the carefree days end and the warm summer nights of staying up late playing turn into a night return of early bedtime!!! I know, some are thinking has she lost her mind??? But I love the freedom of having more time with my family.

Okay, this just in.....check out our new group blog. I went to our Close to my heart group meeting today. It was so great to be together!!! That does not happen to often, we saw lots of great new product, shared pages and projects and had great fellowship and food. So in the process of all the fun we set up a sharing place blog!!! Yes, it is looking so great, please check it out

I have been working on Garrett's school album, I hate to admit it but even with one child his album is not up to date. I am trying to get it up to day by monday, I have all of my supplies sorted by theme and the pictures with them so I am off to a good start.

Here is my favorite layout so far.....April 2005 Kindergarten Registration and check up. Carl my wonderful husband and world's greatest dad is there for everything and especially the mile stones. Here he is hand in hand leading Garrett to big school and answering all of his questions.

I am so blessed to have such a great husband, man, leader, Godly head of our home and #1 daddy. Just ask Garrett, our daddy can do anything!!!!!

Well, thats a glimps of whats been happening I will post more later. Also on a quick note, my other blog for a photo a day is way bad behind!!!!!! http://amomentintimewithtracy.blogspot.com/

I loaded a new photo program on the PC and am not to savvy on it yet so if you check that blog out it's behind and I will get it caught up soon.
