I saw this picture of Jessica and her friend Morgan on facebook
and just had to digital scrap it. It is a cute picture. Jessica
is growing up fast. Doug and Lisa, you better watch out for
this young lady. She's a "Man-Eater". Hee! Hee!

I have been digital scrapping again!



















































































































I just get working on a digital picture and then get carried away and find more and more cute pictures to do. I just love doing pictures of my grand-children. They are all so cute and precious! We will be having three new grand-babies this year. Erin and Ashley are having babies in April. We are so excited and happy for all of them. Our family is growing by leaps and bounds. Little blessings from Heaven!

It's Monday Again!

Well, I just have to report that I have lost another pound and that is a good thing. I kind of had a bad week and couldn't stay out of those darn candy hearts the first part of the week. I finally had to lock them out in the safe. Out site, out of mind, right? So this week I need to do better and leave the candy alone. Some weeks are just harder than others. I guess the thing is that you don't give up and go back to those old eating habits. That will get me know where, except to being unhappy and not liking myself. I love the re-enforcement that I get from Weight Watchers. Our lecturer is so good and she inspires me to want to be in control of myself and do what is good for my health.

I am busy sending off Valentines to my family this week. It has been fun making the cards. I hope they all know that I love them all very much, even though I don't get to see them as often as I would like to. My mom is such a great lady and I am so glad that she is mine. She taught me and brought me up to be the good person that I am today. My father is wonderful too! He is on the other side now, but he taught me so many great lessons and did so many fun things with me as I was growing up. I love him dearly too and can't wait for the day that I get to return to see him, although I hope it is not until I am well into my 90's that I get to return. Hee! Hee!

I have wonderful siblings. I couldn't ask for better and I love all of them too! We have so much fun together, when we are able to be together. We all know how to love, tease, laugh, hug and just have a good time together. I love my family!!!

Speaking of love.... I sure do love my sweetheart, Lyndon! He is such a good man and so good and kind to me. He is a tease and anyone who knows him knows that this is true, but he wouldn't be Lyndon if he didn't tease you! I love each of my five children. Erin, Todd, Ashley, Spencer and last but not least, Dallen. They are all wonderful kids, who have grown into wonderful adults. Three of them are parents now and are finding the joy of raising their own children. I also love my four grand-daughters. They mean the world to Lyndon and I and we think they are all so special!

This is the week to tell everyone that you love them and really appreciate them. So I hope all of my family knows that I love them and CHERISH them. Here is a little Valentine poem for all of
those that I love....

On Valentine’s Day we think about
Those matchless people who
Give extra meaning to our lives--
The very special few.
Without them, skies would turn to gray;
Things wouldn’t be the same;
Life wouldn’t be as colorful;
It would be a duller game.
And when I contemplate that group--
Friends and family who are mine,
I appreciate and treasure you;
You’re essential, Valentine!

Hope everyone, especially my friends and family have a great week and a wonderful Valentine's Day! I love you all!

Digital pic of Ruby!

I did this digital picture of Ruby, yesterday and want to do one of Emma as soon as I can get to it. It is fun and an easy way to scrapbook.
I put this on the outside of an envelope and made a cute l page card for the inside.
I think he is so sweet!
I love this card! I think ths little girl is just a little doll.
This valentine card is an elephant who is looking for someone to love!

I had fun making these cards this week. I love how they turned out. Card making can be addicting. Have a good day everyone!

Two New Digital Pictures! So Fun!


This morning I just had to work on doing some digital pictures. I hadn't done any in a while. I had gotten a couple of new pc hugbug kits and had to experiment with them. They are so, so cute, as are my grand kids. These pictures of them are of when they were younger, but still so darn cute. I need to get a couple done this after noon of Ruby and Emma and then I will post them too! I am off to the temple in an hour and looking forward to that. Digital scrapbooking is the best!

Making Valentine's Cards Galore!







The past couple of weeks Erin and I have been making Valentine Cards for special people. It has been fun! I love making cards and giving them away. It is fun to get the creative juices flowing.
Erin was here the past couple of days and we have had fun being creative together. Erin made a cute Valentine Banner for her home and hopefully she will post it when it is done. I didn't make one. I don't get to see Ashley and the girls as often as I used to. With them living in Eagle Mountain is makes it hard for them to come because of gas issues. It does get expensive. They will be coming on Sunday and so I am looking forward to that. I have such sweet grand-daughters. Todd and Chloe came over for about and hour and a half on Monday evening and it was fun to see them. We had a good visit. I hadn't seen them since New Years. That sounds really terrible, but life gets busy for us all. I have seen Phillip and Tamara, she is Phillips new squeeze, a few times in the past couple of weeks. They are a cute couple and we enjoy having them over to visit.

Well on Monday I went to Weight Watchers and lost 1 pound. I always have to think about a pound of butter and put it somewhere on my body and then I can visualize that a pound is alot. I am getting closer to goal weight, so it may come off a bit slower, but that is o.k. I feel great and that is what matters. I am now happy when I look in the mirror and my body is happier with me because I am feeding it more healthily. So that is a good thing, right? I have now lost 30 pounds and I think that is quite an accomplishment!

Today I have cub scouts and we are doing the Webelos Review with the boys. The Arrow of Light Ceremony is coming up in March and we want the boys to receive their Webelo award and the boys that are graduating to get their Arrow of Light Award. I am preparing for that today.
I enjoy this calling and it is fun working with these boys. They are good kids and they usually make me laugh. They can be characters at time, though.

Well that is all for today folks. Here is my thought for the day....

"FIND ECSTASY IN LIFE - THE MERE SENSE OF LIVING IS JOY ENOUGH!"
