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

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/

New Inspiration?????!!!!!

The Inspire page is not completed, I still need to add the stickles, and ink the edges of the main page.

Well you will have to take a peek for yourself, Yes!! after 18 plus years and umpteen uses we have added a new addition to our home......(drum roll please.....) Introducing our new Washer and Dryer. It's the new front load type with wistles and bells and chimes to go with it. Really it does have cute little chimes when you turn it on and chage the settings. Since last week before the 4th I have toiled with the idea of investing in a new set. This was not my idea but my sweet husbands. His last words were.....well don't get all upset when your old set dies and you can't get the sale and the (READY....INTEREST FREE TOO!!!!) That still did not make my decision but I knew he would be very irritated if the old set died and I whined!!!! I dislike the thought of interest or payments and wanted to save for it. After speaking to Brenda, our family friend we bought our other set from and I saw all of the benefits I went ahead and did it. But it is much larger than my other set which is forceing me to have to alter my scrap studio space. But I am always up for a challenge and love re-organizing....Last night I had 5-6 loads of laundry to do and this moring I have ZERO!!!! My favorite setting so far is the Whitest whites setting, WOW, now I know what I have been missing, this maching is has amazing features to get clothes whiter and even removed dried pen marks!!! I still am missing my old set...I know that sounds crazy but it was the first set we bought as a married couple and it was the beginning. It washed many of loads of loving dirt and my sweet baby boys first blanket I brought him home in. I found the set a good home for as long as it will last....I gave it to my baby sister. Hope it loves you back Sis!!!

New addition!!!! I love the steam setting, yes I paid extra for steam so now I don't have to pull out the ironing board as much, ya hooooooo!!!! More time to create pages.....

While in the laundry room I made a page to go with a page I had made last week....Since my new set is quieter and doesn't make the room so hot I will be in creating much more.... I can't wait.
