It's a happy day in the neighborhood....won't you be my neighbor.

Okay, so I am reminisint of Mr. Rogers.... I used to love watching his childrens show and it did not matter how old I was. I wish their were more show like his that our children WOULD Watch!!!

So we sat at the ball fields yesterday knowing we were playing a power team.!!!!!! We were like their 50th game for the season and had been practicing since February. They were our 3rd game and we started last week. We did not get slaughtered though, I think the All Stars held them well. We lost 10-0 and it poured on our boys but the did not give up and hopefully they learned something. We held them to the 5th inning until they scored the 10 point run rule, so that is worth noteing.

Luck for the team parents, we went to Walmart the day before and bought a canopy to sit under...boy those come in handy for hot sunny days. We have several more tournaments ahead of us to get use out of our canopy. It was so fun for all of us to be huddled un it together. Really it was. Us moms chatted, laughed and cheered on our boys. We were pround no matter what the score, the weather or who was winning. We love our boys. Our parent shirts should be in by wednesday, we can't wait to match our boys....

As soon as I get the pictures loaded I will post.

You all have a fantastic day.

P.s. I have news..... I have been working on my photography website!!!! Yes, finally I did it. I also ordered business cards. I will post when it is ready to show.

Have a blessed day,

Tracy

Hi, Back from Vacation

Hi to all in blogland. I can't believe it's been so long, I almost did not remember how to log in.

We left on Friday the 13th of March to Las Vegas NV to see my dad. It was a great trip, 10 days, 11 states and 4000 Miles later we came home. I had never been to some of the states, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. We also visited 6 national parks and one of them being the Grand Canyon. Wow, it was so amazing to see God's beauty, I had a tears of wonder, joy and awwww, from the look out tower at the GC. God is so awesome.

I hope that blogger is now going to work with me on uploading photos!!! Blogging for me is an online scrapbook and it's hard to tell a story without a photo.

God Bless,
Have a great day,
Tracy

My Cricut Mats

I just had to share this even without a picture!!!! Yes, I know!! I always say it's all about the picture for me. Anyway, I rediscoved a tip on how to extend the life of my Cricut mats and had to try it out. So I did and it worked. The tip you ask? Use the CTMH blue juicy glue and cover it on every area of your mat. Let the may lay for 45 mins come back and walah!!!! It is sticky once again. At the retreat this weekend someone from the group said they also use the brayer to put the plastic covering back on the mat when storing it. So I am doing that as well.

If you have any tips or tricks for your cricut mats I would love to hear them, please leave a comment or send me an email.

I do have lots to tell and share but I don't have time yet, I have to get my layout ready for my crop tomorrow night and I am running out of time!!!

ps, hi Lyla!!!!

Have a blessed day,
Tracy

The photos

Okay, so the blog has out smarted me!!!! I cannot figure out why my photos did not upload and when I tried to add them to the draft it did not work... let's try this again. I have tried several times to upload the max photos of 5 at a time and it will only let me do one at a time. Now I know why I was frustrated with blogging!!!!! For me it's not the whole story if I don't have a picture. So I am done for now and maybe when I try again sometime blogger will be fixed.

Sorry to sound so frustrated but I am!!!!

Okay I am off the soap box and feel better now,

Smiles Tracy

Hi to all in Blogland!!! Yes, I am still on the face of the earth....

Where have I been? Well, it started with football season, then went straight into basketball season, then my son't bithday party. OH yes, then a trip to KS for Thanksgiving and then before y ou know it Christmas!!!! So now that you are all caught up on my exciting blogless adventure we can move forward to a happy maybe more blogging New Year!!!

Our Christmas was wonderful, I love our time together with family and great food. The kids are all growing up on us and it's hard to know that soon they will have families of their own. But until then we will enjoy them!!!! My nephew is a senior starter this year for the Bergman Panthers and boy does he ever Rock the court!!! He is a 6ft 2 work horse and described by coach Lynch. Brian is another part of the reason I have not been blogging, I have been working on a Celebration Album for him, have to start his scrapbook from birth to present, I am making a movie slide show for his graduation party and also shooting and editing his senior portraits. It's so exciting!!! No, there will be not rest once Brian is graduated because then we have Brooklyn graduating next year, she is his little sister and also a cheerleader. So I will then start the whole process all over again.

So was santa good to everyone???? I must have been extra good this year......because my present tells me so. Santa blessed me with the new, hot off the market Canon 50D for Christmas. Yes, I was shaking when I opened it. I was not planning to receive this awesome gadget untio late fall of 09. What a great camera it is, don't get me wrong I love my little Rebel xt but the processor on the 50D blows the rebel away!!! I shot it at the basketball tournament last night and was amazed. Here are a few shots.

Happy New Year to every one, I will try to keep up my blog from now on.

Have a blessed day,

Tracy
