SO far... so good!

hey all, I can't believe we are already half way through January... It seemed to go by in a flash. It has been a treat to get my house and life back to normal and slow things down a bit. got to spend some time with both my grandma and my niece today, went to moms for brunch then took grandma to walmart for some retail theropy. she wanted to come with me but I couldn't shop with her... she wouldn't let me?? so once I was done shopping I had to search around and "shop" to find her, I thought about getting her paged, but I am sure she would of kicked my butt if I had. While I was there I had about 200 pics developed and ready for my weekend away, one of my friends who doesn't even scrapbook is coming with us this time and I am so excited! this is one of my favorite pics of my grandma and my mom! I love you Grandma...

Max...

odd, the pics went out of order... anyway, i am sure you can piece it together... Max is so fun to play with I just love her, so cute!!! had a few cancellations today, so I get to relax a bit, should be cleaning the house, but really why would one want to do that...I would far rather mess with the cat...

Yes Yes, new Years was wonderful...

Not normally a "party Animal" but Emil and I decided last minute to have a little party, we cleaned the house for over 8 hours to make everything look great, and it did, we were so tired and the house looked so nice we would have been thrilled to go to bed with a smile on our faces knowing we had a long hard days work with great resaults... then the door bell rang, and kept ringing, for my first party we had almost 30 people at the house half of which were kids. if only someone would of mentioned that it makes more sense to party then clean not clean then party. all in all it went great, thanks to all who came.

Christmas with my Mom...

the lady in the funky hat is my grandma one of my most favorite people. then a pic of my cousin and new cousin in law, Natalie is such a treat to have in our family. me and my mommy, it was a long but great day... then my neice playing with her new toys, what a big girl she is becoming, so sweet. I know this should be my happy new year post but i am running a bit behind.. still haven't posted any pictures from my very wonderful, yet spoiled christmas with my mom and her side of the family. It was wonderful, my neice had a plast, and that made it even more magical. here are a few pics. hope they make you smile the way they make me smile.
