Ginger...All dressed up.

It is Halloween so of course Ginger has to have a costume too. However she wasn't a liking it very much. But you have to admit...she is a princess.

Isn't this sweet?

I smile every time I look at this photo. Randy wasn't so sure whether he even wanted his picture taken with RayJeana looking this way. But come on have some fun...It's Halloween season.

By the way R.J was on his way to an Art costume party and this was the only thing we could find that some what would fit him. Malissa wore it last year. Good thing he is skinny.

Ten Things Tuesday on Tuesday! :)

1. I am Thankful for "Sleepy Time" tea. Now that it is getting colder out I love to have a cup or three before I going to bed. It helps.
2. I am Thankful that the curse of going to watch my nephew play football is broken. Now I know they can WIN with me watching.
3. I am Thankful for when I get to work in the morning my cup of coffee is already made for me. Usually sitting at my desk. Love it!
4. I am Thankful for my son putting together my new shoe organizer...even though Dad thought he put it together wrong so he took it apart and redid the entire thing more then once. It turned out awesome.
5. I am Thankful that my husband and I was able to agree on a new bedroom set. We've been married for 16 years and it about time for matching room.
6. I am Thankful that in the past I was able to have hand-me-down bedroom furniture.

Beauty-

A friend of mine sent this to me in a email...How true...I absolutley think this is a neat picture.

God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.

When there is nothing left but God that is when you find out that God is all you need.

Picasa

I Found PICASA...and it FREE! Just go to their website at Picasa.com and down load the FREE editing soft ware. It is FABULOUS! It has cropping, red-eye removal and Effects. Plus other options. The frames how ever was added by saving a edited Picasa picture then re-opening it in another software program I have on my computer. It is Corel, it came Free on my laptop when I purchased it. This phote here is at my Dad's 80th Birthday party...I blurred the edges and did the B&W focus, kinda neat. Then added a frame from Corel, I love this PICTURE.

This is a collage I made using Picasa...Same picture just on in B&W.

Zachary ...added the Text. Much easier in Picasa the Corel. Don't like Corel's text at All. Or I just haven't figured it out. So I will continue to use Picasa's. The Dirt Bike is my nephew Kyle jumping out of a ditch. Here I used crop and an Effect called Graduated Tint in the sky.


I think this one turned out AWESOME. It is of another nephew Tyler. Here I blurred and Text in Picasa and Frame from COREL.

Last picture is R.J. This one turned out really neat also. Cropped, B&W then added a frame.

I hope you enjoyed. And Good luck if you choose to down load Picasa.

Kids say the cutest things.

I'm still laughing. Malissa called me up at work after school today and says

"Mom, two of my fishies died. Now I only have one left." She sounded so heart broken.

I told her that we will have to get her new ones and they probably died since she moved them to a clear vase. Her responcen was, "No they died because the water is cold!" So I suggested she move her last one back to the bigger fish tank with the heater. Then she says, " Mom, can't I just let this one die too so I can have more wild ones?"...and Here I thought she was sad and she actually was HAPPY!!!

My Birthday

Happy Birthday to me. What a day. I had a fabulous time today. I first off went to church to praise my Savior. Afterwards I drove out to the cemetery to have a brief chat with Mom. Her stone is so beautiful. Then off to Dad's to make saurkraut. Yup...Saurkraut. Well I helped...wash jars. ;0) Debbie & Lauretta actually canned the kraut. Then on the way home I stopped by another cemetery to visit with my best friend from high school. Then home to my family. I very special day...I was able to visit with some of the most precious people in my life.

The picture actually is from last year..but you get the point. :)
