Really?!!!?

Anyone who knows me, knows how very blessed I am to have such wonderful boys in my life.

Good relations with the Wookies, I have.

-Yoda

I love them so much more than the word love entails. They are a lot of work, but every time a door is opened for me or a hug is given for no reason, I feel my cup overflowing.

Mushy,I know, but it's true.

So how on earth did I end up here?????

What redneck came up with this hobby? We do basketball, baseball, soccer, kickball, swimming, tennis, football, even the occasional racquetball, but tractor pulling?? It's not a real sport! It's boring and the guys act quite immaturely!

So why do I sit through this torture??

Oh, yeah. I remember now. Can you see his little squinted eyes? It's from that big smile that stays on his precious face from the time we tell him it's tractor pull day.


This is his favorite part!
These are my little Wookies and the only way to stay close to them is to be a part of their lives. Even the boring, dirty, stinky (the track is right beside some of the stinkiest turkeys!) parts of their lives.

Life. Amazing. Unscripted.

Well I knew it would happen. It is February 3rd and I am officially falling behind on a picture a day. I'm trying to keep up. Really. I am. But I was sick and then Wesley was sick and there was our anniversary, and a birthday, and report cards (which are always traumatic), and I'm starting our remodeling in the hallway now, and yada yada ya.

I love this crazy, mixed up, busy, uncontrollable life.

Another Week In Project Life.

I'm starting with a layout today. I did this one for a challenge to use paint in a unique way. I LOVED playing with the paint! Messy, but oh! so fun! I put mesh tape on my page, painted over it and pulled the mesh tape off before it had dried completely (mainly because I am super impatient!).

I thought it gave a very 'tweeny' effect to the layout of the twins.

I'll leave you with a few more photos from my Project Life. I am REALLY enjoying it!!

All actions are from Paint The Moon. You really should check them out!!!!

Good -bye Week One...

I am kissing week one of 2011 good-bye. It's been interesting FOR SURE! Timothy isn't sleeping because we (o.k. I) am remodeling his room and I've hit a few snags. It's a MESS and apparently he can't sleep in a MESSY ROOM!!!! Never had that happen before!

I'm bruised (like seriously) where I fell down the steps while playing with Timothy! Is someone getting old when they can no longer walk on steps????

Got my hair cut.

Had a WONDERFUL family day! (I hope we do this every week!)

Watched Nick practice dribbling and shooting. He is getting SO MUCH BETTER!! And he should, he practices EVERY day!!! (he got a goal for Christmas)

Hugged Noah and told him how much I love him. (sometimes I think he feels left out)

I told you... an interesting week. :)

So my Project Life should arrive today!!!! I am sooooo ready!!! I know I won't be able to do a picture a day, but I have started out doing that. And hold on to your seat because I don't want you to fall over.... I actually have my photos printed out for the first page and days 1-4!!!!! Shocking. I know.

I thought I'd share some with you.

I'll share from time to time.

I am so excited to be documenting OUR LIFE, RIGHT NOW.

Next year won't be the same.

It changes. We change.

It's In The Mail!

ACK! I can NOT believe I just ordered Becky's Project Life!! It was not a spur of the moment thing. I've been contemplating it for a while now. It's something that I think Wesley will appreciate more than a regular scrapbook. He says, "Sometimes I just want to see pictures and let my mind tell the story it remembers." I respect that, although my mind usually tells me what I want to remember, not what REALLY happened!! LOL!!

A picture a day is so NOT me. Family comes first and sometimes that means leaving the camera in it's resting spot and just enjoying life. So why tackle Project Life???? Because, for me, it WILL NOT be a picture a day. I will take each month as it comes and that will be o.k. I'm excited for this journey!
