A scrappy weekend

I was able to scrap a bunch this weekend... here's a few things I got done. :D
Cooper last year at the beach. I've loved scrapping Cooper lately! It says "Our Nominee for Dumb Dog of the Year Award".
Frame for Sarah's new room.

Layout from Andy's volleyball tournament in August.


An old Malcolm and Alwyn song that needed to be scrapped. It says "When a Bible's well used, the devil's not amused."

NOW, I have the HUGEST pile of laundry I need to fold so I can GO TO BED!


Have a great week!

Sept photos

A few random pictures from Sept so far...


Sarah at the park for our church picnic. A rare pensive look about her. She was probably thinking up her next grand scheme. ;)

Breakfast oatmeal with Dad on the first day of school.

After the Church picnic, we went to Emily & Miriams house. Sarah and Miriam plot to take over the world someday. Fearless, those two!


Fireworks for the 1st of Sept. :D


Good Looking guy I brought home from the park. :D


Go, Sarah, GO!

Max saying BYE BYE to Oma and Opa at our living room window.


More first day of school pics... in our yard,


In her classroom,
On the playground... Andy did an AWESOME job of taking photos for me. He gets Scrapbook Husband of the YEAR award!


Getting ready to leave with Dad.


Beach Bums

Here is the card Andy made for me. :D there are 3 flowers on there with red bling in the center - they didn't photograph too well, but I love love love that my dh MADE me a card. :D And it was full of GUSHY stuff, too! A card I made for Patience at church...
Sarah at a VW show with Andy. She loved this grass car, loL!
Andy and I at the Kennedy School before the Accordian concert. If we had known... we wouldn't have been smiling!! ;)
Sarah and Amelie at the Kennedy School.
The Kennedy School is an old school converted into a theater, concert hall, restaurant, bar, pub, and swimming pool area. Very cool and fun!
Sarah and Amelie on the beach at Tolovana. BFF, I'm thinking :D

More 10th Anni Pics

This plant was out front at Cooper Mountain Vineyards (our favorite!)... does anyone kno what it is?? I'm thinking it would be good for out front of our home, by the curb and trees. Look what I found out in the vineyard!
Grapes. It was a great time to go out there - the weather was perfect and the grapes were lucious with color!
Andy and I at church on our actual anni - 8/24
The card I made for Andy

Our 10th Anni Trip

For our anni, I planned a trip to some local wine country for Andy and I. Newberg and McMinville are about an hour away and home to some of the worlds best Pinot Noirs and TONS of vineyards and wineries. There was a "tour" weekend where lots of vineyards were open for tasting, so we took in as much as we dared. Here's a general view as left the area. A cute bike sculpture / bike rack in old town McMinnville.
The best breakfast EVER!!!!!!!

This appeared to be a real, functioning train station. Who knew??!
My wonderful hubby, doing his Daily Bread devotions in the morning before we head out for the day. I love this man!

Sarah's first day at Kinder

Here is a cute video of Sarah at school on her first day. She's really loving school and we're thrilled with her teacher and class size. There is even one girl from last years preschool in her class. Very cool!

Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament

While I was in Utah for CKU, Andy was at the beach with all the family. Over the weekend, he played in the Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament with a few friends. The weather was windy and rainy and they didn't win, but they still had fun. How could you not?? :D
