Beautiful Sunset

When I looked outside the other night and saw this sunset I had to run for my camera.  It is easy to forget the little things God has given us as simple reminders that HE loves us.

A fall picture my kids.

Christmas decorations for my mother in law.

Bob's mom gives ornaments out each year at our family Christmas party. This year we are spending Christmas Eve and Christmas day at Beaver Creek Lodge. She wanted a personalized ornament so I volunteered to help. I saw something similar to this at Swiss Days so this is my version of it. I don't know why my pics are blurry. I need to learn to edit.

I am back...I think.

This blog is not updated as often as I would like it to be but Bob bought me a new camera for my birthday and I am inspired again. It is a Cannon Rebel and as Bob asked me after I opened it, "Haven't you seen the commercial?" "No I have not," I said. Then Devon said, "Mom, even I have seen the commercial." No matter though, I love the camera. Whoa, it takes way, way ,way, better pictures so here are some of my favorites. I even used some of the creative settings. If I can only figure out how to edit on Adobe (Carly).

Also, I have been working on a craft. I think I will post it tomorrow. It is a Christmas craft so stay posted (wait..I think I am the only one that reads this thing).

AND...being a personal trainer and all, I will be posting a fitness challenge just in case I have any health conscious readers or reader. I don't know when that will happen. Hopefully soon.

Happy 4th Birthday Jack

Jack turned 4 years old yesterday. My kids are getting really old. Jack had to wait until Bob got home from work at 6:30. The anticipation just about killed him off. He was so excited to open his presents that his hands were shaking. It was so cute. He got a bike that moves by turning the wheel back and forth, money, a bank, and squirt gun. We then went outside to hit the pinata. It was going well until Devon hit it so hard that the candy became flying weapons. One which hit my mom in the jaw. Nice. Anyway...doughnuts are the cake of choice around here. Jack... thanks for keeping us on our toes. You are a darling, even when you yell at us to get your chocolate milk. Love you.
