Thankful for time with Grandchildren and Scrapbooking

I am so blessed to live so close to my daughters and grandchildren.  I also have time to spend with them and to enjoy my new scraproom.  I feel good when I can help my daughters...I was able to babysit Chris's kids so that she could take Max to the eye Dr..and I also watch Stacy's baby Dominic one day a week so she can sleep after working nights.
Here are pictures from babysitting the boys the other night...  they love taking a bath at grandma's house...  Lucas was so cute yesterday...they came over and Lucas asks "Grandma can I take a bath...I am dirty"  ...

I am having fun organizing my new scraproom..and have been busy scrapping...
Here are some new pages.  It amazes me sometimes how they come together for me..

I found some cute pics of Christine's 2nd Birthday..

I had to remember the mints that Audrey brought to Jason's grave..so made this page..

Last page this week...was the last family picture with my parents before my Dad passed away..

I have been so sleepy lately...sleeping in...a little frustrating..  

I love to shop for grandkid clothes and scrappy stuff... This week I had lots of fun shopping for grandkid clothes...Children's Place had a great sale..and Kohls had a 30% off coupon...always dangerous.  Liam and Max got "Angry Birds" T shirts...I think they wore them for 2 days straight before Mom could get them off to wash them..   

When the going gets tough...Grandma goes shopping...

The weather is finally feeling like summer...the grandkids are enjoying coming over in the evening to our neighborhood pool...will have to take some pictures.

I am still organizing my scraproom...will take more pictures..



Moving into Scraproom

The Scraproom is finally done...it is so awesome. 

I am having so much fun putting the stuff away.  I hired a couple of teenagers from the ward, Susan and Michelle Thurgood, to help me on Tuesday.  They were awesome! 

I love the shelves that my builder, Tony Allred, built for me.  I have decided to have him build another set.  They are perfect for storing albums, pictures...

I finished 1 scrapbook page of a dream I had of Jason..

I love spending time in my scrapbook room..it is so huge..got my music from my ipod going with oldies.  I am such a lucky girl...





more travels...Texas

I just got home from a trip to Texas for my Nephew's Graduation.  I am so proud of him.  He is such a great young man.  He is heading to college in a couple of months to Ole Miss.

I am glad I don't live in Texas..it was 103 and humid...came back to Utah..high in low 70's.


My scraproom is coming along great..should be able to move in next week...can't wait.

I have done a few pages in between trips to CA and Tx:

I have been reading the book "Jesus Wept, Understanding and Enduring Loss" by Joyce and Dennis Ashton.  It has helped me so much.  It openly describes all the "stupid" comments people make that don't understand the loss.  It also helped validate that you can only compare our own trials and losses...and not compare to others. 

It feels so good to be home..nice quiet house...laundry going...maybe some scrapbook time.
