Snow!!

We woke up this morning to a blanket of fresh white stuff on the ground and it sure is pretty outside, especially since we don't fly out until sunday and I don't have to worry too much about traveling for a couple of days!!

Took this shot of our bird condo in the backyard with all the pretty snow on the roof and yes we still have some die hard birds hanging around even though it is winter time here.

Yesterday I picked up a cool card reader so that I can transfer images from all of my memory cards easily to the computer which having to bring all of the cords, I have 3 different cameras with 3 different memory cards so this reader can take care of all of them in one fell swoop, you gotta love modern technology.

I'm also thrilled that I bought a 2 piece bathing suit, well ok it's one of those tankini things so my tummy area is covered but I still have the effects of a 2 piece suit and if I want to lift it up to have a little tan in that area I can. :) I'm happy that I'm going to Hawaii with the scale registering 122 pounds and I've been holding steady at that weight for about 2 months now even though I'm not really following Weight Watchers too much anymore, I just know when I can or can't go overboard on something.

I have to start packing and since I'm not going anywhere today I should be able to get that done pretty easily and tomorrow will just be straightening up and taking care of things around the house that need doing before a vacation.

I'm getting excited...we'll see Robert in just a few short days now!!

I was so cool...wasn't I???

I'm having a good time going through all of these old photos now that I've had the slides scanned...these range from 1974 to the late 80's so I'm enjoying the trip down memory lane, that's for sure. I have to laugh at this...check out the sneakers...and I guess I had watched that old TV show, huh? Dynomiteeeeeeeeeee!! HAHAHAHA!

It will be a lot of fun to scrapbook all of these old photos and put a story to them when I do, I think our future generations will get a kick out of it.

It's hard to believe this but we leave for Hawaii in a week...I have a ton of stuff to get done but at least we went through the snorkeling gear today and figured out who needs what so that's taken care of. I think I'm good on clothes but I might just pick up a new pair of shorts, we'll see if I get the chance this week...with Alex home from school all week my time will be a bit more limited but I don't mind...it's nice to know we can sleep in and relax all week, everything will get done.

All work and no play....

....makes for a busy Linda...I haven't had much time to blog. But wanted to post a couple more layouts I did at the crop last weekend. :)

First, I had to scrap the craziness after the Giants won the NFC championship game and remember that day!! And then I had some nice pictures of my boys....can't wait for those 3 to be together again, just a few weeks now. WOOT!! The 3 Hughes brothers in the same room....it's going to be a blast!!

Family heritage

I used a scanning service to put all of my family slides that were good photos on disc and I will be printing them out and scrapping them in the future. I started with these and I am very happy with the way they turned out. My beautiful mom and my very handsome dad when they were so young!!

Trying to be productive

I've got a lot on my mind right now but I'm trying to be productive and scrap. I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out, though.

Weekend Croppin'

So this is where I'll be sitting for the next 3 days.
Stay tuned for more.....

Giants are off to the Superbowl!!!

Wow, I am absolutely exhausted and yet so wired I don't know if I can sleep yet...what an amazing game that was tonight...hard fought and the Giants pulled it out and won, I still can't believe it! Thank you to Mary for the phone call near the end of the game--a true gem among Packer fans to call me and tell me that she was pretty sure the Giants were going to win just by the way her team was playing...amazing...and I know you will be right there with us cheering for the Giants in 2 weeks, my friend.

Here is the winning moment captured by my camera and yes, Jesse is in mid air here!!

And for your added viewing pleasure, here is the winning moment on video...this will be fun to watch and remember over and over!!

You gotta love football to act like this, right? Can't wait for the Superbowl!! Bring on the Patriots...we're on a roll!!!!
