Several days of posting.....

So this weekend my family and a friend came over to scrapbook...we did lots of eating (imagine that!) ..lots of talking and of course scrapping! I completed 19 pages..which is not good for two reasons. 1.) I always like to complete about 50 on a weekend (to my defense it was at my house so I was still messing with hubby and children, food and we did leave on Sat. morning to watch 2 ball games!!) 2.) Those 19 pages were only July and some of August...so that is ridiculously too many pages for a month!
This is a spread for when Paul entered a The 7th Inning Stretch Contest to sing the "Take Me Out To the Ballgame.." song at Wrigley Field. We all dressed up and drove to Chicago for his audition. He did not win but we did have a great few days in Chicago! We visited with Paul's sister and some of his friends from his childhood...drove by his childhood house and schools...visited the Field museum and more!
A fun Rockstar layout from the Emerson Drive concert that was down at Fourth Street Live.

Some fun pics from our snow last week! I tried to take some the night it began but my camera froze..LITERALLY!! I really think the cold messed it up! We all tubed for a couple hours late into the night. This is the next day and little Annastyn was sleeping!
Oh my goodness...this really happened! She went right into the tree like in a cartoon! Funny thing is there is only this tree in out backyard...the chances of hitting this was very slim!

Within 2 seconds of Madelyn's wreck...Carson ran into the neighbors vegetable garden hitting the wood stacks, aluminum pie pans and flipping off!!!


VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!
Mommy and Daddy took the kids to Build A Bear for our Valentines date and their valentine gift.
Carson picked a puppy and he named it Cody...he chose a skateboard and a pair of Sketchers!
Annastyn chose a monkey ...fell in love with the cowboy hat and then picked out the cute outfit! She named her Monkey (are you seeing the trend in her naming)...Paul put Monkee A. Maynard on the birth certificate!
Madelyn chose an adorable pink teddy bear she dressed with a cute Love Bug outfit and pink Crocs (she had a purse too but daddy hid it from her while we checked out!)
Here is picture with me and my Valentines at our co-op party.
