Rob and I hugging ( a second layout)

Here is one of My brother and I hugging. He passed away in 2001, due to suicide. So that is why it says "you cut our time" short. I miss him everyonce in a while. Holidays are tough for my mom especially. So this one is for her too.

And Let me tell you, Lilly is a tough one to get a long with. Whatever you do, do not wake this dog up... shes a grouch in the morning.

My pretty girl

I am so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter, inside and out. Yes, sometimes she is just a pre-teen that I want to lock in her room, but other times, she is still just a little girl. She was 7 years old in this picture. I love it. It is one of my fave pictures of her. This was taken at the zoo, in the train. The kit I used is Sweet Digi Shoppe, Indian Summer.

QP is Jeanelle Paige, bundles from Santa.

Our newest hot dog...

I debate, should I change the name of the blog? To 4 hot dogs.... cause that is what we have now. Teddy is our newest. He is actually Mason's son. He sorta looks like a teddy bear, hence the name Teddy.

QP is a freebie from 1hourscrap.com. I altered it a little.

2006 Daddy Daughter Dance

Well I am a bit behind, but hey they are getting done right. These are pics from DJ and Gregs last daddy daughter dance. She is too old (7th grade) to go anymore. She was so beautiful that night. And Greg, well he doesn't dress up much, but when he does he looks very nice.

Kit is Sweet Shoppe Designs, Indian Summer.

Tyler & Grandma Bonnie

Here is one from 2003. Grandma Bonnie came up to watch Tyler graduate from Kindergarten. It was a cute ceremony. I have pictures of him and I as well, but have to do another page for that. I have the cutest poem for that one. Anywho, QP is from Tracy Collins, Gumdrops.

I am one!

Well here is a picture of me on my first Bday. I told you I had blond hair Tina! Aren't I cute? The Qp is Victoria Feemster, Baby Lane.

DJ is pretty

Of course she is. I love this shirt on her. She loved it too. She actually wasn't posing for this picture. Now it seems when I get that camera out she gives me some cheesy grin. It annoys me! Oh well. I guess I can just take pics of the puppies, right?

QP is by Victoria Feemster, Miranda Lane

Ready to go

Here is Greg putting the finishing touches on his Figure 8 car. He didn't decorate it up as much as he usually does. But it still looks great! He did the Tuesday night race and got 1st in his heat. He really kicked butt! After that the transmission went out and then he didn't do so well in the feature. But hey this was the first time he got first in his heat. I was so proud of him, and so were the kids.

Kit is Kim Hill, Punch it up.

Figure 8 make-over

What can be done with an old Cadillac El Dorado. Well take a look at what Greg has done. These are the front view, before and after. Of course, given how detailed Greg always is, I knew it would look great. Of course, it did. I don't usually help too much, I am not so detailed when it comes to stuff like this. I usually help hold this or guide the car, but dont do any of the painting or decorating. This is one of Greg's things. The kids like to help also.
I will do up some pics of what it looked like after the race too. That will not be so pretty.

I used doodles by Michelle Underwood and staples from Lauren Grier, Intensity.

Ouch!

Here are some random pictures from the Figure 8.
Overlay is Meredith Fenwick, midnight mini

Aunt Mo

This picture is my girl friend Mo. She is holding DJ. The other girl is Jen. I haven't talked to her in years so I had to blur her face out. August 1994.

Kit is Tracy Collins, Aidan.

Here I am

Well it looks like DJ got a picture of me. She does so well taking photos. I am thinking I would get her a good digital camera for Christmas.
Anyway, here I am.

Kit is by Lanie, but I dont know what the name of it is. The designer is German and I can read it. But at least I figured out its by Lanie.

DJ loves ringtones

DJ loves to talk on the phone. She loves her phone. She loves the ring tones. Sometimes I get so annoyed at the songs on her phone. I wish they would just stop playing. She recently got Bossy and Baby got back. I still love baby got back, but she likes it too, oh well. I personally have Violent Femmes, add it up. Anyway... QP is from Susie Espirit, Modern Retro.
