Time Flies

I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged! Sorry!

We went to Big Bear last weekend to get our fill of winter. It was SOOOOO fun! We actually rented a teeny, run-down cabin, kicked back on Friday evening, went skiing on Saturday (it was Carlos' first time!!), and we were blessed with snow actually falling while we were there. The kids woke up on Sunday to see snow falling. They raced outside and played in the snow for a couple of hours. Then we packed up and went on a hunt for chains. By the time we left (around 1:00 p.m.), the kids were beginning to realize that snow is not just fun and games, lol! They were complaining about the cold and wind--and, frankly, they were just a bit scared that the car would crash.

Here's just a few pics to share:

This is us (minus the "photographer", lol!) at the ski resort grabbing a bite of breakfast before the L-O-N-G process of buying tickets (that included lessons!), and getting skis, poles, and boots in time for our lesson. We had a blast!


These are some pics of the kids sledding down these tiny hills made by the snow plow outside our cabin on Sunday morning.

And here's what I've done as far as layouts of our mini-vacation:


That's a photo of the cabin we stayed at.

and that background photo is the ski resort we went to (yes, I know, bad grammar, but ... oh well!).

HOW FUN!! I love that we live close enough to winter/snow we can make a quick trip up there when we want a 'real' wintertime! So glad you had snow falling while you were out in it. The pictures really show how much fun you guys did have!!

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
