The Trees

We'll get to the trees in a minute. First even though I have my usual over abundance of school work to do, I decided to relax Saturday night and search for freebies. I found a couple of kits I really liked a lot and then scrapped a couple of pages with them. This is little Lucy's volleyball picture from last season. She is playing club volleyball out of Springfield right now and she has her first tournament next weekend. She has practice Tuesday and Thursday evening. Lot's of driving, but I take school work with me and do it while she's practicing. The sports complex in Springfield is amazing. While volleyball practice is going on there's basketball teams, special Olympics teams practicing, adult dodge ball, roller derby! It's a very cool place. I used a kit called enchanted forest for this page. You can find it here http://jennie-moosya.blogspot.com/

For this page I used another freebie I found called Black Night by Muriel1326.

Now on to the trees! My backyard is not large or deep and it had several pine trees that were too large for the yard and blocked most of the sunlight. My neighbor had a friend that removed his trees and mine and now I have sunlight! I'm going to plant at least one apple tree and I'll be able to have a bigger garden. This summer when I'm through with school I should be able to do some landscaping :) Here are some pictures. I had to get a few of my little Alex working.
Doesn't he look thrilled!
Here is one of the trees going down.


You can see why my sunlight was blocked.

Winter Formal

Last Saturday was Winter Formal. Lucy went with her friend Kyle. She and Brandon are broken up (for good this time I think:). I think going and hanging out with friends was a good thing for her. I being the good mom stayed up to 11 so I could pick them up and drive them to the bowling ally for the after dance party, then I drove back at midnight and brought them home. Midnight is later then I normally stay up and I'm afraid to push my luck and turn into a pumpkin! Here are a few pictures I took of them. They are goofy!



Of course I scrapped a page too :) I used a kit from Jenni "Chaos Lounge"
I am also half way through winter quarter. I'm getting so excited to actually be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 4 months and I'm done with school! I can actually get a job and work as a nurse! Spring quarter is our preceptorship where we spend most of our time working one on one with a nurse. I'm hoping to do mine right here in Cottage Grove. I should know in a couple weeks.
