a trip down memory lane........

I have been transferring old VHS tapes to DVD all weekend.....oh, the memories of my sweet little baby....the one who happens to be turning 18 this week.



and here is Mason at the same age with his version of the abc's:

2009

 

Sorry,I have slacked on posting already for the new year! We have been pretty busy already, but very excited to see what is in store for us this year. 2009 promises to bring lots of changes for our family. Alexis turns 18 at the end of the month, then we have graduation in May. And although we are still trying to figure out college plans, it looks as if she will be going away in the fall, while at the same time Mason will head off to full day kindergarten. Oh just thinking about it makes me sad!

We have been busy this weekend visiting with my brother, who is home on leave from Iraq. Yesterday, we had family pictures taken then off to a party to celebrate my brother.


Wishing the best for everyone in 2009!!!

Happy Birthday Teagan Rose!

Here are some pics from our holiday!

Counting down 'til Christmas!

 

some tidbits and other ramblings.......

Things have been crazy around our household! November flew by in a flash, I swear last week was Halloween...guess not. I have a feeling that December will go by even faster.
After 5 yrs of staying at home, I have taken a part time job. I start back to work tomorrow. I will be working 3 nights a week, making the already chaotic lifestyle, even crazier. I am hoping that it will be a smooth transition, although it will be quite a change for all of us. My husband will now be responsible for feeding, bathing and getting the kids to bed 3 nights a week! He has never given the children a bath, so this could be interesting!
I finally started my Christmas shopping last week! I am getting close to being done..wahoo!
I got an early Christmas present.....a new video camera! I love it! Hopefully I will be able to document Teagan and Mason's young lives more now. I feel horrible that I didnt video Teagan near as much as I did with Mason. I have some video of Alexis when she was young, but it is all on VHS tapes,so I need to transfer those to DVD.
Well must get off the computer to get some stuff done around the house......
