tim holtz came to roseville, i was able to take 2 classes i hope he shows up this year to i learned so much he is awsome! the layout above is a 2 page but there was some difficulty in the it department.

this was Aarons bday 2008 we had a great time

i thought i would also do a summer layout, which i have soo many pictures of here is just a few.

ronnies mom and stepdad totally redid their house this layout is just their kitchen i tried to get some of the details but there is so much more oh i feel a layout comming on!

i thought i would take a whole bunch of fall related pics and do a layout , scratching around the edges looks like it may be my new fav.

superbowel 2008 we were invited to Aarons house and it was also his mom's bday we had a great time i think there was better comericals last year.

Halloween night i got home early we passed out candy then went next door to val and daves for a party we had a great time, though not as many kids this year maybe because it was raining, and icky out.

some our favorite places to go ON THE BORDER, B.J'S, CPK , WHOLE FOODS, LUCELL'S BBQ,

PANERA, RED ROBIN, and we always try to go somewhere new.

my friend lisa this a two page layout the page above it goes with it , we love to go to lunch together but she is in school now and so i don't see her as much, miss you my friend

this thanksgiving this year, ronnie and i just had it ourselves we had a great time we tried out a couple of new recipes some we will keep others not so much

i know i have been busy scrappin, lately my back has been hurting and this is what distracts me, plus i am told it is cheaper than therapy! the layout above is of my neighbors cindy and val love these chicks they come over often and i make martinis for them. which i love!

these statues are at the new library i may blow them up and put in the computer room cool looking, i don't know who made them but i think they photographed well

got up went to a local antique shop i am looking for old book cases for my paper in my scrapbook room no luck so then i decied to check out our new library, well , new for me it opended 2007 but it is in lincoln crossing it is huge and nice not like the one i grew up with visalia library was nice, kind of antique looking but this one has potential i looked at magazines, they have gourmet, and bon appetite so i may not subscribe it just may be cheapper to coppy off recipes i like we'll see. it is a rainy overcast day ronnie is hanging out trying to fix the washer he was on the floor looking at it too cute, he said when he was at home his mom would let him take things apart and work on it so he has some idea to fix it but needed a little help so he made a call to a local appliance store he found someone to help for free.

indoor smores with strawberry marshmellos yum!

got lced today took it easy scraped a little made burgendy stew for dinner, with bread and goat cheese and red wine yumm! whatched tues american idol and tonights. i was really hard to see anyones abitlity that blond hippy chick went home i don't think she should have.

this is a true sign that you are ok with you masculity, tom ,vals brother and his dog sasha whatching the game. go stealers!!! it turned out to be a great game i was a little sadden though not as many good comercials i did like mr and mrs potatoe head and what was up with go daddy? ronnie said is it a pone site? i have a better pitch for them how bout someone has got a bad or krudy name and there business is affected by it, it could be funny like a day care that animals keep getting dropped off to get their hair cut, why because people are confused, but if you had a good name for your web site that would'nt happen like . the office is on after the game, we were so tired when we got home i layed in bed and read then to bed. work mon, tue.

sun, feb 1st? superbowl , i got up and realized i don't have any raider shirts, i need to represent my team, all my shirts are belly shirts now, and i am not showing that off the one that fit i left in brandons truck when we went to a season opening monday night, last year so i got a really cute one at sports authority i will have to go back they have really cute roxy cloths but i think i might be a little big on top because the majorty of their cloths is for really small people unlike me who loves food! here is a plate at the party we went to . val invited us to her brothers house they are big pittsberg fans but they are from there and grew up there.

have you tired this it is berry chai, i found out it is just chai tea mix with current juice, so i need to find some current juice, i had to make a trip to target sat, i needed to get the third book in the twilight series yes i am hooked astrid lent me the first one and i went through it in like 3 days, i use to read books like this like ann rice, i mentioned her name to astrid and she's like who? so i think this book will maybe get people reading that normal don't read, as for me i can't read enough my goal is to read at least 2 books a month but i usually exceed that.

me doing what makes me happy. boy my room looks like a fire hazard.

ronnie playing video games with a beer in his hand, he looks very happy, i asked him to pose for a layout i am planning

ok i had to get dog food sat, and so we are trying out nutro and buddie chewed on the carpet so i figured they are bored and it is time for new chew toys but mama got her's apart in no time buddie took awhile, so we had to seperate them because she would try taking his.

ronnie and i were coming back from thai on sat, we were heading to the grocery store to get stuff for ronnies mexican egg rolls and right before you get to the store there were all these sheep, and goats just roaming around eating. we pulled over and stared because were are city folk, well as adults we have become city folk even though lincoln is only about 30,000. people. you don't usually see this so close to the starbucks . right along this little ravin is a golf cart path in sun city a del web community. So we talked to some of the people that live in the community and they told us that del web is letting this sheep and goats eat the grass and they move them around during this week. i thought that was pretty cool, if we did things like we use to our soil would still be good for growth, but people think the new way is better, i guess i am old fashion let the animals eat grass they won't need antibotics, and growth hormones!

ronnies famous breakfast, we eat it with salsa .and above it the short ribs that ronnie made, check out tyler florence here is the link for the recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/bistro-style-short-ribs-recipe/index.html

i been gone for while these magazine covers were taken last week thursday i was looking around in the local b&n any ways i took pictures because these covers made me happy, i love pits always have, i had a white pit growing up and that dog was so loving , now i have buddie and he is so docile so this is my soap box , pits are not bad dogs it is the owners they can make any dog bad i have been bite by 3 labs but i am not scared of them nor do i label them i blame it all on the owners all these dogs were on chains and broke lose. the picture of obama and his rescued dog love it i have always rescued dogs. these dogs are good dogs they have to go through alot so they can be adopted the spca does a wonderful job. and to know he got that baby from a kennel and she only has three legs. if you want an insite into these kennels whatch oprah she had a episode where lisa ling goes in, i cried during the whole thing but it is a eye opener. so people rescue there are so many good dogs and cats that need saving because if you don't save them they will be killed!
