WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

Sadly, I'm back on the broken computer list. My lap top is dead. I have very little access to a computer right now : ( sad for me. I miss reading all the blogs I'm used to browsing! Just wanted you to know we're still here, healthy and happy! Can't post any pics right now which stinks cause I have some good ones! Spencer and Tiffani went to Homecoming. He looked gorgeous! We went as a large extended family to the Roloff's Farm for our pumpkins this year. Great pictures and the sweetest of people. So friendly and down to earth. wow. Carved pumpkins as a family on a Sunday evening. That was great fun. Now it's work and preparing for Halloween with the little one. Adorable costume she chose. A charm school witch. Will post pics when I can!!! Miss everyone

WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?

Halloween projects at a stampin' up demonstrators house. I made 4 of each card and these boxes!

PICS AS PROMISED PLUS A COUPLE

Spencer bought Sabrina an "emergency only" cellphone for her birthday. She adored him before but now.... she out and out worships him!

Here's my pretty new red cell phone sister!!

First day of school here we are outside the school.

Kory and Spencer their first day of their senior year and Sabrina the first day of second grade.

FIRST WEEK FLEW BY!

I will download the first day of school pics after work today. The kids all looked so good. It was a crazy busy first week. I'm so tired from getting in the swing of things. I went to bed at 11:20 pm last night with all the dishes done, laundry caught up, lunches made. Felt so good when I woke up this morning. AND... Sabrina's room was spotless. Today.... I feel capable.

I MISS MY BOY

So.... Alex is 18 now and an adult. He's been out of the house mostly for the last 2 weeks. I miss him so much. Tonight he stopped in to use my computer and left quickly. I didn't get a hug, a kiss, anything. I know this is normal. I know kids have to grow up and go their own way. I just miss him. There's a small hole in my heart that is his place. I know this is a stage. I know it'll get better. I just miss him....

PEEK AT SPENCER'S SENIOR PICS

Spencer had his senior pictures done yesterday with a fabulous photographer in Tacoma Wa. This is just a sample of one so far. What a gorgeous young man!!!

CRAFTY ME ; )

This was my artsy project for yesterday. This is our new mailbox that my husband will set on the post later today. The flag was broken on our other one and I just didn't like it anymore. It's just a mailbox I know, but it's so fun now!
