New year, new intentions!

Yes, I have slacked off on the blog front. But...I'm back and ready to blog!

To start off the new year, mom and I went on an Ultimate Scrapbooking Cruise. It was incredible. Key West, Grand Cayman, Jamaica. Some really GREAT classes by some INCREDIBLE instructors. More on that later. For now, I leave you with this picture from Jamaica. It reminds me that warm weather is coming soon. I hope. I am tired of being cold!

Tales of Temples and Tombs

Tales of Temples and Tombs...an awesome musical about King Tut. King Tut, Tut...he was so divine. King Tut, Tut...yes, very very fine. Arg...I can't get those words out of my head! Colby actually had a rapping part. Yes, you read that correctly. My son, the biggest white boy EVER, rapped for an audience. And...I've got it on video. Don't think I won't whip that tape out on prom night :)

Rock on little buddy!!

Marisa's Halloween Party

Marisa helped me put this slide show together. She loves all her kindergarten friends! This was their Halloween party at school. Every year, the kindergarteners dress up in their costumes and parade through all the other classrooms. They are special because nobody else in school gets to dress up!

Happy Halloween!

Playing with pottery at ODU

This evening, we were invited to learn about pottery with the art students at ODU. The kids had a great time making a design of their choice, along with 2 bowls on the pottery wheel. Thanks for inviting us, Rachel!

Thank God it's Friday!

Friday happy hours are back! This is the day of the week where we sit in the drive way, enjoy a tall cool one, eat some snacks (Tiffany, you must make that dip again!), let the kids go crazy and unwind from the week that is now behind us.

We're blessed to have both old friends and new friends. Even though it seemed like 110 degrees outside, we still had a great time. Hunter, Ben, Emily and Grady - welcome to the neighborhood!
