Thunder over Louisville

Thunder over Louisville is the premier event kicking off the two weeks leading up to the running of the Kentucky Derby. It is one of more than 70 events of the Kentucky Derby Festival. The Thunder Air Show is ranked as one of the top five air shows in the nation, with more than 100 planes! The air show is followed by a 28 minute fireworks display over the Ohio River. It is televised by local television stations. It is also rebroadcast on the 4th of July on the Military Network.
An exciting and pretty time of the year here in Louisville!

Just a few scrapbook layouts that I have finished lately. I just love the colors and shapes of these papers, so much fun to work with! Enjoy!

My Birthday Boy

My baby turned 8 years old today. He is getting so big. He's bright, handsome and funny. He's a great big brother, most of the time. He's strong, gentle and kind. He melts my heart. He's the one that showed me what my purpose in life was. I am so grateful to be his Mommy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I love you-Mommy

Long time no post!

Wow, I have really neglected my blog. I will fill you in on all that has happened in the last month, but for now I will just add pictures that have been taken over the last week. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

Since I'm mourning today...

over my Patriot's loss to the Giants, I figured I would post about something happy to cheer us up. So... How about Brooke's recent report card. She is doing wonderful and has such a love for learning. Today, she passed out of the level they are doing in math and will start a new level. They are challanging her in reading because she reads through all her books easily, and she is doing excellent in spelling. Here are her grades:

Reading E+

Penmanship E

Mathematics E+

Bible E+

Spelling E-

Work & Study Habits E

Class Participation E

Great job sweetie!

Scrapbook layouts

I have finished some layouts lately. Some are layouts that just needed journaling or a finishing touch, some are new. Enjoy!

So Proud!

Billy received his 1st semester grades today. I met with his teacher Mrs. K for a parent teacher meeting this afternoon. She is proud not only of the work he puts into his studies, but for how he has grown as a person in these last few months. Something that has touched me the most lately is his spiritual growth. When he goes up to his bed for the night he has time with the Lord and reads his Bible. What a touching thing this is as a parent to witness. I am just so very proud of him! I have to brag a little more and share his grades.
