We had a great time getting the eggs colored, looking for the baskets, looking for eggs, and spending time with the family.
Here are some pictures to remember are day:

April Birthdays

This is a busy month 3 birthdays and Easter. Then 2 of the kids come home and say I need money for field trips. The school should know better lol.

Cheese Cake with strawberries and chocalate

Happy Birthday to my 3 beautiful children.

First Bike of her own. Gotta love the boots.

My List:

When you make a list do you follow thru with it?

Do you do things in order?

Are you happy with only getting a couple things done on it?

For me I like to do things in order, but it always dose not happen that way. I made a list back in January about how I was going to make Christmas a little easier this year. 

Oh here is the list for a update:

I will clean up all the Christmas decorations and will start a gift closet in Jan.

Feb.-make Christmas cards

March make Christmas crafts/gifts

April- buy forever stamps for your Christmas Cards.

May- buy one gift for every child in my house.

June- find crafts (Kids) and recipes for Christmas

Christmas in July we are going to do crafts with the kids make a Santa list,watch a Christmas movie.

August- Stocking Stuffers- school supplies are on sale.

September- Make sure you have supplies for your cookies.

October- Address Christmas Cards, make sure I have enough crafts made for everyone.

November- rearrange furniture and start getting Christmas decorations out.

December- Wrap gifts

 Now that I see the list I'm not doing to bad. 

So this means I'm right on target.

Have a Great Day :)

Friends

I was challenged at Scrapbook Challenges  to make a layout with the letters in my name and all the letters in my name ment something that you would add to the layout. I was not sure I could pull it off but I do like what it turned out to be, and it did make me use things I normally wouldn't.

The title is friend and I don't have a picture at this moment that will fit what I want the meaning on the page to be so I used a picture from a card.
