Braves Game October 2009

Here is another picture from our recent trip to the braves game. I created this layout as another scrapbook challenge. The challenge was to create a layout that uses a photo that has been run through the colored pencil filter. Here is my layout. I really like how the photo was changed by using the filter.



This is the original picture.

John and Sarah

This is one of my favorite photos from Aunt Kim's wedding. It is so sweet!!! I can't believe that it has been almost a year since this photo was taken.

Gotta Pixel Challenge

I have been trying for some time now to learn how to digitally scrapbook. I have been reading tutorials and watching videos. Each day it seems that I learn something new. This week I participated in a challenge at Gotta Pixel. The challenge was to create a layout using wavy paper that I made via a tutorial. The tutorial can be found here:

Here are my layouts:

Braves Baseball!

We love going to Atlanta Braves baseball games!! It is such a fun family outing. Turner Field has lots of FUN activites for the kids. I personally go for the food. I love to eat at the ballpark. There is nothing better than hot dogs, peanuts and nachos. OK, maybe ice cold beer. This was the Braves last game of the season. They were playing the Washington Nationals. We left the game after the 12th inning. It was tied 1 - 1. The game finally ended after the 15th inning with the Braves losing to the Nationals 2 - 1. Oh well, there is always next year. John is already planning on spending his birthday at the park.

Team Gator!!!

Matthew is playing t-ball for the first time this fall.  He is so excited and loving every minute.  He plays 3rd base just like his big brother.  The kids are so FUNNY to watch.  Matthew received his uniform on a Friday.  He did NOT take it off (this includes sleeping in it) until Sunday afternoon when I explained to him that it must be washed for his game.  He wears his hat everywhere we go.  It has become a part of him.  I have people stop me all the time because we are gator fans!!! Chomp Chomp :)  Too funny!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

On Sunday, I celebrated my birthday.  It was a wonderful day.  We went to the movie and saw "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 3D".  The movie was very funny and everyone enjoyed it!!

Jim made me his top secret brownies.  They were deliciously YUMMMMMMY! 

Here is a photo with me and kids.  Look at all of those silly faces. 

Fall Ball Ya'll

The fall baseball season officially started today. John is on team Mudcats and plays 3rd base. He loves to play baseball. This year, he has advanced to the under 10 division. In this division, coaches are no longer pitchers. The team now pitches. This has added a whole new dimension to the game. John does NOT want to get hit by a ball. He is very unsure each time he is at bat. The pitches can be very WILD!!! Today, they played the Padres and the game ended in a 5 all tie.

GO MUDCATS!!!!

Friends!!!

What is better in life than a good friend. Here is Matthew with his friend Grant. They are ready to head to school. Aren't they cute. We are blessed with not only great neighbors but also wonderful friends....

Football!!! Are you ready????

And it is that time of year. Yes, my friends, college football has started again. Jim does such a good job brainwashing our children. On the morning of the first OU game, the kids all got dressed in their favorite jerseys. It makes Jim so proud to see all of his little fans. Josh came over to watch the game with us that evening. Even though OU lost their opening game, we still had a lot of fun. Here is a photo of the "kids".
