The Girls & WII

Nicole & Haley playing with the WII.
Boxing match!!!
We are having a Girls weekend. ������Alexi & I and Nicole & Haley. ������WII game playing. ������We watched "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium". ������This is a cute movie. ������More fun tonight.

"U NAME IT" Dog Book!!!

Here I am using my "FRED". ������The magnets hold the Chipboard pieces well. ������I loved being able to us "FRED" as a display board. ������This is the being of my book. ������It has all the dogs we have ever owned in it. ������I love these little books. ������I used the TLC "U Name It" Book. ������You can call it what ever you want. ������I was going to use the house book like Wendy showed us but it was too small. ������This worked perfect.

The finished product!!

Fred has arrived!!

My "FRED" is finally here. I haven't had much chance to work with him. But I love him already.



I am working on a Chipboard project right now.  It was really cool to put all my pictures on the "FRED" and see all of them at the same time and chose which ones go where. 

I will keep you posted on my progress with "FRED"

Where's Fred!!!

I haven't got my Fred yet!!! 

But I got my "Photo Freedom" Book.

I can't wait to read it.

Woo!! Hoo!!

21 Days!!!!!! That is all I have to say!! Look out Virginia here I come.

Rocks

This is a rock that is on the side of our driveway. We cleared away the area around it and the rock became very clear. There are lots of rock area's on our property like this.

No more pictures of the land. I was having a photo moments these last few days. I like to take pictures of things as they are planted or being cut down.

Avocado's

Avocado's are ready to be picked. You can see all the fruit on the trees. We have started picking the yellow block before it gets stumped.


Look at all the fruit.

Trees!!!

These are a my Redwood trees. They just looked amazing the other morning.

We are currently stumping our yellow block of trees. Here is what it looks like as a work in progress.

It is going to be a beautiful piece of property exposed once everything is stumped. ������It will take three years for the trees to grow back and start to produce any fruit.

Mr. G

This is called a stick tree.  Mr. G gave this to me as a small seedling tree. He was growing it in his garage. Mrs. G was very surprised when he gave it to me. I can't believe how big it has grown.

Mrs. G !!

I was looking through some old pictures getting ready for SDV in March and trying to get organized. When I came across some old family photos. We lost Mrs. G this last year and I think of her often. She had been on my mind a lot lately and she kept popping up in all my pictures. Some times there would only be one photo of her. But it seemed like she was always there. She was at all the important family events. And when ever my Mom would come to visit she would come up to see her. I decided to use my new "Shape Upz" Circle board book from TLC and make myself a photo album just of her. It was hard to pick the right pictures. These photos made me laugh and remember all the good time we had. She was a very important person to me and our family.

Some of these pictures won't make sense to many people. ������My Mom & Sisters will get it right away. ������Mrs.G decided she wanted to be the bride when Wendy got married. ������I love this photo.

Alexi & Mrs. G and Alexi & Mr. G. ������She loved my kids. ������She was a great second Grandmother.


This was the proposal!!
These next two photos were taken at my Mom's in front of the fireplace. Mom & Mrs. G decided to have a mock wedding. There are about 6 or more photos of this charade. I laugh so hard at these two. Mrs. G was always up for a good time. I think she loved spending time with us because she could truly be herself.������
This was the actual wedding toast.
I just love this picture. ������The little girl is My sister Wendy with Mrs. G and our dog Missy. ������The picture was taken in front of our house in Rialto on 3rd & Date.
Here's Mrs. G with Zach. ������He is turning "21" in April. ������I think she was in heaven this day.
This is a picture of all of us on the porch at my Mom's. ������Notice we are all laughing. ������No telling what was just said. ������With this ������group anything goes.
My Mom & Mrs. G at my house. ������This is the last time we saw her looking good. ������I so loved doing this little book. I don't often make things for myself. So this was a treat. ������I have several little books like this now. ������I think I am going to put them all in a basket and sit it in my living room. There is so much more I want to say about this wonderful lady. ������I think I will write a letter to myself and put it away somewhere. ������I don't every want to forget how important she was in my life. ������And I want my children to remember her as well. ������She will be greatly missed.������
