{Project Life...Week 6}

It's that time again...Project Life Tuesday...on Thursday..because I'm so not with it this week. AND..I don't have any pictures of my layouts because...well...I don't have them done..yet...but I do have the pictures, so that's a start!

Sunday 02-06
Celebrating the Super Bowl with our Small Group....the guys yelled at the television while the girls played cards...These are the newlywed/engaged girls...Brittany, Mallorye, & Melissa. We love our small group and are enjoying just doing life with these people.

Monday 02-07
Freshman night at Doc Paynter's Court. Blake's girlfriend, Taylor, is a Jr. High Cheerleader...these girls did a great job cheering our boys on this year to a Conference Championship.

Tuesday 02-08
I voted "YES" today for the millage increase for the Paragould School District...money that will help build a new school and improve some of the older facilities.

Wednesday 02-09
Snow Day #3...Mallorye enjoyed catching snow flakes, while Blake tried to fake a snow angel with a broom (lol)...Matt, Mal, & Luke came down later and pegged our windows with snowballs. All in all....a great snow day!

Thursday 02-10
A crock-pot full of homemade stew is just what the doctor ordered for the sickness going around in our house.

Friday 02-11
No Picture Today....

Quentin took Blake to the Arkansas Sportshow and I'm using this as a backdrop for their tickets.

Saturday 02-12
View from The Austin Hotel in Hot Springs, AR

Me, Quentin, Matt, & Mallorye went to Hot Springs to watch the Mrs. Arkansas Pageant...Mal is considering competing next year and we thought Matt should see what he was getting into...lol.

So, hopefully I will get back on track next week and be on time!

As always, there is some creative people out there...so go check them out on Jessica's blog...right here!

{Project Life...Week 5}

I'm a few days late posting, but I've been busy with life this week and for that I won't apologize :) Anywho...better late than never...Week 5 of Project Life!

Left side of my layout...

....and the right side.
Exciting, I know. Now for the good stuff. The daily pictures...that's really what you want to see anyway. (insert drum roll)

Sunday 01-30
I've mentioned that we host small group (Life Group) in our home every Sunday night...the children go to Mallorye & Matt's house with one adult and I try to have an activity for them to do that goes along with the devotional that they will be going over. The kids seem to really enjoy it and it makes it pretty easy on the adult leader. I love that we're ministering to both the adults in our group...and their children.

Monday 01-31
Blake had a ballgame tonight...not just any ballgame....but a game against crosstown rival Greene County Tech. These games are always intense, but this time our boys had something to prove...GCT triumphed in an earlier game in the season, but not tonight! PJHS won this round 44-26 maintaining bragging rights!

Tuesday 02-01
I was scheduled to work late today, so Mal skipped class to come and work on our Project Life albums before I went to work. I normally wouldn't encourage skipping class, but she wasn't going to miss anything this particular day and I kinda like hanging out with my daughter :)

Wednesday 02-02
I receive a text reminder every month to perform my monthly breast self-exam...they are always so light-hearted and funny and this one was soooo cute!

Thursday 02-03
My desk at work. This is where I spend most of my time it seems. You'll notice my phone and water bottle are in easy reach and beside my phone is my scripture memory cards.

Friday 02-04
...and this is where I live. An aerial view of my neighborhood courtesy of Google.
We really enjoy our neighborhood...it's quiet (for the most part), a great neighborhood to take evening walks, it's close to pretty much everything, and we live just a few houses down from Matt & Mallorye (which I think is pretty wonderful).

Saturday 02-05
I spent the day with a kindred spirit...my friend Kellie. We met back in 2002 through an online group and have been friends ever since...we share a love for scrapbooking, singing, and most importantly God. I always leave Kellie's refreshed and wondering why we don't get together more often. Her and her husband, Terry, are the real deal and I love them :)

So, 5 weeks of documenting my daily life...I think it's almost a habit!

If you enjoy checking out my pictures, I bet you'd like others too...so go to Jessica's blog and check out other Project Lifers.

{2011 Project Life...Week 4}

Week 4 of Project Life and I'm still lovin' it....and still caught up! It's challenging to come up with a new picture every day, but I'm enjoying it. This week, I had a day that was exceptionally picture heavy...so, what to do...add an insert :) And once again I'm linking up with Jessica for Project LIfe Tuesday...check it out by clicking the button above and see all the creative people out there...there's a bunch!!

This is the left side of my layout...

...and the right side...

the first side of my insert.....

....and the flip side...

Now for the POTD's....

Sunday 1-23
Lunch at TaMolly's with friends from church...The Grahams, The Qualls, and the Wesleys

Monday 1-24
Blake had a ballgame against Batesville at home...he had quite a fan club tonight with about 13 people coming to watch him play...we won :)

Tuesday 1-25
I finally finished editing some wedding pictures I had taken back in the fall...it's a good thing the bride and groom were patient! This is the first wedding I've photographed in a LONG time and it was definitely a learning experience.

Wednesday 1-26
Bethany, my coworkers daughter, came to visit the office today. She was in a great mood and those pigtails...is there anything sweeter?! I think not!

Thursday 1-27
Now that Mal has moved out, I've started the process of turning her bedroom into my craft room...starting with paint (I cannot handle the pink)...This was the 2nd sample Quentin had painted and I still haven't found the color I want. Thank goodness for Valspar's $3.00 samples!
