Making Scrapbooks

Procrastination

My hubby and I always procrastinate on getting our taxes done.  Every year we say, "next year we'll do them earlier" ... and every year we wait until the last minute.

So, this weekend is tax weekend.  Gathering, adding, recording - that's what I feel like I've been doing most of the day.  I am happy to say, a huge dent has been made.  Tomorrow may be the end of the tunnel.  Fingers crossed! 

And, "next year we'll do them earlier!"  LOL!

Hope everyone else is enjoying the weekend!

Sharing more from hubby's gift album

Here are a few more pages!  I'm a little late, as his birthday was last weekend!  LOL!  This may end up being a Father's Day gift, since I gave him something else for his birthday.  At least it's digital, it ended up not taking nearly as long to create as if it were paper scrapbooking.    The time involved was choosing which pictures I wanted to include.

(creating it with LifeTimez)

PS.  I'm still planning to share some layouts from the last scrapbook retreat I attended.  I just haven't had a chance to photograph them.  That's coming soon! 

Everyone have a great evening!

Why do they have to grow up?

I took my oldest son in for a well visit at the Dr. office today.  He will be turning 11 in a couple of weeks.

Well, he is officially only 4 inches shorter than I am.  WOW!  It won't be long, and I'll be looking up to one of my children.  The Dr. said he was doing well.  The osteocondroma on his arm (if you remember that from a few months back) is doing fine - not bothering him.  AND...  he's heading into puberty!  ECK!!   I wasn't ready for that news!  LOL!

Here we go!  Off on the puberty adventure.  Pray for us.  LOL!

Thank you Natalie!

A big thank you to my blog friend Natalie!  I donated to her charity badge, and she sent me a handmade tea towel as a thank you!  It is lovely!!!!!  I sooo love hearts!

THANK YOU very much!!!!!  I really love it!

A short recap of Campus Outreach Brazil's Beach Project (Projeto na Praia).  They sent this as a thank you to all of their supporters for their prayers, their support, and for having their ARMS WIDE OPEN!

Wordless Wednesday - Kitty Kuddle

(Not totally sure how this works, but I'm going to try a wordless Wednesday.  Probably just messed up since I'm typing words.  LOL!)

Tackle it Tuesday!

Ok!  My tackle it Tuesday project today was something I always put off, because it is not fun!  LOL! I took my van in to be serviced this morning.  There is not much that is more boring than sitting and waiting on a vehicle to be serviced.  I was pleasantly surprised with a short wait this time!

Other things I got done today:

• several loads of laundry!
• grocery shopping
• returned some things to Old Navy
• schooled my boys
• started packing for the retreat I'll be on this weekend!

It's a Beautiful Day!

What a blessing... the sun is up!  The weather is going to be terrific!  My daughter is off from school today, so I'm giving my boys a light school day!

We're going to enjoy a beautiful day together!!!!

Everyone have a great day!

Karate Tournament

My boys had their first karate tournament this weekend.  It was a "fun" tournament, so although they were given scores, everyone received medals and a trophy.  The boys competed in several areas, and did very well for their first time!!  We were so proud!!!  It was a long, but exciting afternoon!

Here are my two guy in the air!  So cool!
