playing with some photos

I need to get working on some Christmas presents for this year and at the same time I also need to get scrapping some of 2009. So why not kill two birds with one stone and work on pictures that can easily be used for both. Well I was looking back at pictures from new years day and playing around with them and I totally love this one of Dallen and Ella...

Now this was not a posed shot he was just holding her right there in the walkway and I think it turned out so dang cute. There are a couple more that I like from the day and I played around with them a little too. I did them all in a faded look. Now I just need to create a page with them.

Merrill Beach, Eagle Lake

Last Saturday we decided to head up to Eagle Lake to visit Sean and Sarah. They were camping up at Merrill Beach with both Sean's family and Sarah's family. So we went for the day. The kids loved it. Sean took them both for a ride on the jet ski. Dallen of course wanted to go again and again, and Claira of course had to be talked into riding with him. We only stayed for a couple of hours but it was a lot of fun.


Claira's friend Holly came with us.

Love and Hate

Katie Bigs ( That is what we call the Bigney family in this house) tagged me today for Love Hate
so here are the things I love and hate about today.

Love:
1- Love that I was able to pick up another shift at Janesville after the people at Susanville filed a grievance on me for working there cause I am taking away hours from them and apparently that is not legal since I am not a PTF (part time flex able employee). Yeah talk about drama and the girl who filed is out for the next 6 weeks having surgery. Not like she was going to be working. So now others will have to miss out on taking their vacations like planned.
2- Love that Claira and I made Upside Down German Chocolate Cake. YUMMY
3- Love that I took a 2 hour nap. After all the doctor told me if I am tired I need to take a nap or it will just make my symptoms worse - who would have thought Ebstienbar was a life long issue
4- Love that the Trani is in the Honda
5- Love that the kids are being nice to each other

Hate:
1- I hate that it is HOT in my "scraproom/ office" who wants to hang out on the puter in a hot room
2- I hate that even though the Trani is in the Honda it is still not perfect - it sounds like a stinking rice rocket and it does not go over 65 ( which is fine for grandpa driver Eddie but if you need to drive a little faster to get out of a emergency type situation this does not work) - will be calling my mechanic - who is by the way not the person who "fixed"my trani lets hope it is not an issue with the Trani cause we can not go through that saga again!!!!
3- I hate that I have no idea what type of pay check we will be getting next month - or any other month after that. I can not plan. Like should I buy those peaches that are a really good price or do I need to save my money so that I can pay the bills next month....
4- I hate that no one cleans around here but me. Eddie will clean once in a while but I am anal and want everyone to do there chores everyday with out me having to gripe about them not being done.
5- I hate.....????? I don't know..... well my mom can fill this one in for me ....
