:: A few pictures ::

:: We were visiting with Matt & Lisa the other night and the kids were being so cute I couldn't resist but take their picture :) ::

:: Cute Couple Eh!?!!? ::

:: Mommy, Me & Lamby ::
:: Me & my two friends Lamby & Jacob ::
:: When Daddy Got home - Jacob went crazy trying to get to him and then turned around to ensure that I was also going to greet Daddy ::

:: ...to my eyeballs ::

I am here - I'm just in the office doing office things. Since we are going away in the first part of March and March is when taxes are due; I am busy preparing all of our statements for our accountant - Ugh, not a fun task. But it must be done so that we get some sort of return from the government!

So here I am, up to my eyeballs in paper, reciepts and government forms! Wish me luck :)

:: Devotions ::

Look in the scroll of the Lord and read.

~ Isaiah 34:16

I once heard a preacher say,

"Your children may not be reading their Bibles regularly, but you can bet they are reading you."

Ugh! I sure hope they weren't reading me the other day when that lady took my parking spot at Wal-Mart.

Just an interesting tid-bit from my daily devotional:

Daily Wisdom for Mothers

:: Our sweet little {big} boy ::

:: Here are some snap-shots I took of Jacob just before we headed out to the store the other day ~ I just can't believe that my little boy is begining to become such a {BIG} boy - We love you Jacob ::

:: Bounc-e-Bounc-e-Bounce ::

:: Thanks to Kristin for letting us borrow her jolly jumper - Jacob is now a professional "bouncy-boy" ~ He wasn't too sure of it at first, but now it can entertain him for hours (P.T.L)! ::

:: More of the US of A ::

:: I took this picture as we were zooming through the area between Lynden & Bellingham ~ It was such a beautiful day! ::

:: Detour through Blaine ::

:: On our way home the sun was setting and it looked amazing ~ So we took a detour and headed to the shoreline to see if I could catch the last little bit of the sun,

here are the pictures to prove it :) ::

:: The US of A ::

:: Today we went to the USA to find some deals with Matt & Lisa and the girls - Here are some pictures from the day! It was a beautiful one at that!!! ::

:: Here is my view while waiting at the border crossing and today Paul actually picked the "fast" line (*You know how you never know which line to pick!!?!? Well, my honey did good today!) ::

:: Matt & Lisa behind us in the border line...they are laughing at me for taking pictures :P ::
:: Self portrait a la Paul & Shawna ::
:: Mr. Jacob waiting ever so patiently in the fabby sun for us to get moving again! :::: Once we were over the border this is what we saw ~ Beautiful farms, trees and Mountains ::
:: Blogger isn't letting me post any more pictures so I will be back to try and post the rest of them along with the deals we got today :) ::

{ UPDATE }

I tried to post more pictures on another post but Blogger still won't let me do it, so I will try again tomorrow, so stay tuned!

:: Girls Night In ::

:: Well last night was the first (of many, I'm sure) that I opened up our home to have girls in to scrap, stamp and enjoy the sweet treats! I had a great time with Amanda, Lisa & Kristin - Lisa and I were surrounded by two hard core scrappers, Kristin & Amanda. Both of them showed up with case loads and I mean cases of scrap stuff ~ It was truly inspiring and stirred many new ideas in my head. I only accomplished 4 pages in my now 8 page scrapbook, as you can tell I am not hard core at all! Here are some pics from the blessed event :) ::

:: Sugar cookies - Jacob helped me with these by banging a pot the whole time I was icing them, what a great help (yeah right) ::

:: The coffe table full of treats ::
:: Lisa and Amanda getting into the scrap session ::
:: Grapes and my chewy Ginger Snaps ::
:: Kristin taking a moment to feed Mr. Connor - Do you see the scrap mess :) ::

:: See so he does look like me! ::

:: It's weird how Jacob looks so much like Paul right now but from baby pictures he looks so much like me! Ha, I told you I was his Mama! ::
