Painting Memories!

I guess since most of ya didn't know I painted, I thought I'd share a few of my ones I've done in the past. These are from 8-10 years old so I have a bit of catching up to do to finish my recently started painting of Mia.

"Mom's Pride"

"Kitty Laying in a Basket"

"Rose"

"Night Snowstorm"

"My Secret Place"

Happy New Year and some updated pics of the family also!

Here are a few pictures of us on New Year's. The kids had so much fun (and so did John of course) lighting fireworks. Here's to hoping that the new year will be brighter, we're off to a good start so far. =)

Christmas 2008 Pictures

Just thought I'd post a few pics from Christmas morning. Santa brought me a new Fuji camera so of course I had to try it out! I still need to read the destructions so, they're not the best pics but I'll get the hang of it. Santa brought the kids new iPod Chromatics, maybe I'll ask him for one of those for myself next year, LOL! They play video and TV shows as well as music. I don't have any close ups of Braylee, Bryson, or Haydon, the ones I took came out blurry *rolls eyes* told ya I need to figure out this new camera! As soon as I get some of those 3, I'll post them...
