I am old!

My husband and I were talking to our oldest son, Andrew tonight. Apparently we are a little outdated. Andrew didn’t believe what we were saying so he said, “That must’ve been what it was like in the 20th Century, but not in the 21st Century”. I used to joke that my Dad lived in the time of the Dinosaurs- but I was joking! I never imagined that one of my children could claim I grew up in a different century- and be right!

My Baseball Player is Only One!



We are not a very sporty family- even with 5 boys… but that might be changing.

My youngest son has always been interested in balls. We have a whole box in the playroom of various balls that we put there for him. He is always throwing a ball at anyone who will catch it. One day we were loading in the van. Everyone was in the van except Steven. I knew he went in the garage, but he wasn’t there. I found him in the backyard playing baseball with a baseball tee, bat, and ball. He sets up his own game with any ball and stick he can find- he‘ll even use a small plastic hockey stick and a ping pong ball. He’s not very happy when he has to come inside.

He has started playing imaginary baseball. He gets his imaginary baseball bat ready and asks me to throw a ball- then he swings!


Scrapbook Night Sketch Challenge

We had another fun scrapbook night. I love when my friends come over to scrapbook with me. If they didn’t come over, I would have a hard time setting aside time to scrapbook.

We did a challenge this time. We voted on a sketch and then created pages based on it. Here’s a few of the pages.
