projects

So, I have been taking some online photography and photoshop classes over at this awesome website, jessicasprague.com.  This was one of the projects that we worked on today.  I just love that little face!!

daddy's girl

They say little girl's can wrap their daddy's around their little finger...

I think this one has him wrapped around her heart.

New year, new blog

As usual I start again.  My list of resolutions is small this year with one of the main things being to simplify.  Not try to do it all.  Focus on a few things and really make them great.  Document my families special moments, and even the not so special.  I have always enjoyed journaling, scrapbooking and photography and this is a way for me to bring it all together.  I am working on a "project 365" book for the year.  I want to remember the small moments in our lives not just big events and that is what it will do.  It's a picture a day of anything, yes anything.  A lot of the pictures wont mean anything to any one else. However, hopefully when the kids look back at it they will be able to remember these small, simple moments.

At least there's Jerry

In my home with a 4 1/2 year old we have more than our fair share of wrestling matches, most of which end up with either of us pretending to be "knocked out" or "dead" at some point.  So, yesterday during my turn of playing dead the bean starts pounding on my chest.  I can't help but chuckle and ask 

"What are you doing"  knowing he's doing CPR.  He replies  "PRC".  I chuckle and with a touch of pride ask him where he learned how to do that.  "mommy" he says "the mouse teached me".  I sit up now because the PRC has obviously worked and bewildered ask "what mouse?".  "You know, the one on tv."  "Mickey?"  I ask.  "Nooohhh,  him not know PRC.  Jerry knows PRC."  Now I'm still not getting it, but knowing my child there is no telling where he is going with this.  So, bravely I ask "who's Jerry?".   "Mommy, you know, him gets chased by the cat".  Okay I got it now "do you mean Tom and Jerry?".  "Yes him.  Him the mouse teached me.".  Well alright then, there ya go, and since I can't be the one to teach them everything, thankfully, there's Jerry to help.

My "older" sis

This, is my sister Jenny. She is only about a year younger than me. All right a year and a half younger but, at our age who's counting. Actually when her kids were younger I convinced them that I was younger than her and that she was the oldest sister. My logic on that one was she had 3 kids, I didn't have any and there fore she had to be older. They bought it, Hook, Line and Sinker!! After she threatened them with groundings, stingers and other inhumane things they told her they didn't believe me. However, they really still did. Shhh, don't tell her they still think she's older! Just look how her hubby adores her. Love that.



She has one of the custest families ever. Yes, those are all hers. No, the neighbor kids did not sneak in the picture, and yes, you are counting correctly 5!!

She is kind, loving, helpful, smart, friendly, faithful, honest, patient, gracious, and fun! I am lucky I have her as a sister. Blessed that I have her as a best friend. I love you Jen!

new blog

Now that I'm back to blogging I decided to start a new one for our family. I will still keep the old one, however I'm going to be using that one for something different. more on that later.

Kiffen and Tanner are in Texas trying to pu a plane that he bought in California a few weeks ago. He then got stuck in weather and had to leave it in Texas. The weather is CRAZY this year, so hopefully they'll make it back soon. Korah and I have been having a ball. We have been catching up on all of the unfinished projects I have going on. She is definitely going to be a crafter.

-Last week was our 11th anniversary. yeah, that 's a long time. We had the in-laws watch the kidlets and we went and saw Avatar. Good show.

Happy Valentines Day,

Chersty
