When did fall pass by? I really wanted to take pictures of our property with the beautiful fall leaves. Our yard is so picture perfect when the fall leaves are on the ground and cover our driveway. Forrest and Sadie love to rack the leaves into a pile and jump in them. I guess with the drought, there wasn't enough leaves to
I've gotten several emails concerning this movie from my friends and I want to pass it on to you. Our family will not be seeing this movie! I am very disappointed in Nicole Kidman for doing such a movie. My friend Pam Hohneke sent these links to me and ended her email by saying "Satan is a tricky dude".

Do you remember in the 80's there was this commercial from Dunkin Doughnuts where an alarm clock went off at 4am and this grumpy man gets out of his bed and says, "Time to make the doughnuts". This to me is the everyday things we must do. Making the doughnuts for me is coming to school each mornning to teach 160 vibrant elementarty kids PE. What doughnuts do you make everyday?
This year we began a new tradition for our gifts. Every present must come from the Dollar Tree. The girls bought for the girls and the boys bought for the boys. This way everyone got a couple of gifts each. You will be amazed at what we found for each other for a dollar! It was a great experience for the cousins to unselfishly pick out gifts for others.
What a wonderful Thanksgiving we have had this year! We all drove to Knoxville to Frankie's house. It is not normal for all of us to gather together twice in a year, and today made twice in four days! A traditional Thanksgiving dinner includes a turkey. Our dinner was everything minus the turkey. The upper element in the oven went out halfway through cooking the turkey. Not to fear, there were many side dishes to eat that we didn't miss the turkey. How boring it would be to have a pefect Thanksgiving dinner! We were done eating and everything cleaned up within an hour. It is time for Christmas!
I am determinded to do 50 pages by December 21. I went into Hobby Lobby this afternoon and everything was half off! All papers, stickers, rub-ons, stamps, etc. I had about $60. worth and then I started to feel guilty because the deal was to do the pages using what you already have. I was either feeling guily , weak or strong, either way, I left empty handed and called Rachel for group therapy! Next time we decide to make a challenge, I am going to add some contingencies or my own covenants to the deal! This is the page I did tonight. I love the Elsie products. They fit myteenagers to a tee! I can't believe I have a teenager!

I went out with some girlfriends to Hobby Lobby two weeks ago. We had a blast! We were like kids in a candy store! After we checked out, we decided to commit to a challenge of doing 50 pages each by Dec. 21. The only rule of the challenge is that we cannot purchase any more scrapbooking supplies. This forces us to use the items we already have on hand for these 50 pages. I did 12 pages this weekend, with only 38 pages to go! I look forward to everyone meeting the challenge so that we can step foot back into Hobby Lobby ! Hobby Lobby BEWARE!
This Halloween was our 13th year to g trick or treating wtih our best friends the Ropers. Our very first time to go was when Forrest and Cody were about 2 months old! This is about the only tradition we have in our family that has lasted this long! They will always be BFF
We have a wonderful family, consisting of my husband George, his lovely wife Trudy (me!) and our beautiful children Forrest and Sadie. George works for a subcontractor for NASA and works on heavy equipment. He loves to wheel and deal on the side. I am in my 8th year teaching K-5 Physical Education. In my spare time, I love to scrapbook and am in the process of learning about photography. Forrest is 13 and in the 8th grade. He is our athelete. His football season jsut ended, but soccer season will begin in soon. He is involved in Scouts and loves to play Runescape. Our daughter Sadie is 10 years old and is in the 5th grade. She enjoys playing the piano and hanging with her friends. She is such a drama queen! They both live to terrorize each other on a daliy basis! What we enjoy the most are those special times we have together to enjoy our family without intereference from the outside world!
