Sean got a great deal on this new helmet for Renee, her other one is pretty banged up so she needed a new one. Too bad they didn't have black and pink...but she thought this one was "cool".

ScrapFest 09
Here are some pictures from our scrapbook weekend. Once again we had a hoot of a time. I think my stomach still hurts from all the laughing (or could it be eating). Everyone was healthy this year through the whole weekend, but poor Jane got a little dizzy on Sunday morning (but it wasn't from the Lazy Lizards like Danie last year). Hope your feeling better Jane!
Our wonderful host Traci and Danie....
Jane and Mary....
Lori and Michelle (a new scrapper this year)...will she come back?
Debbie and Me...
Ellen chatting with one of her kids....we had too many phone calls from our kids where were their dads?
Kathy came on Saturday...maybe next year she can come the whole time....
and Danie's sister Megan came on Saturday too. Work wouldn't let her off sooner, (damn jobs).
Before!!!
After!!!
We took a trip over to Starved Rock Lodge to see what sweatshirts we could find, it's an every year tradition. We found sweatshirts and other goodies....
Jane's driving miss daisy hat...
Lori found her beer goggles...

The Girls....a great group of friends to have. they make me laugh, cry (because I am laughing to hard) and I know the will always be there when I need them. (I hope!)

New Years Eve 2008
We ended 2008 at the Prentice Family New Years Eve Party. One of the parties we look forward to going to each year. We had a great evening hanging out with our friends sharing in lots of laughs, lots of Great food, lots of games, lots of shots (thanks lori) and lost lots of money (I think traci won all ours)...but we gained a lot of memories.
told you she took all our money!
who could that be?
and since jp was no where to be found...sean rang in the new year with ep.
Thanks Jeff and Ellen...we had fun!

Coffee anyone?
YUMMMY!!!
Love this new coffee pot that I got from Roger, Traci and the kids. The Mocha Java coffee is good too. I am still trying to figure it out and program it...during the week I think I'm going to have to have already ground coffee because I do not want to wake up my kids at 6:00 when my coffee pot starts. On the weekends or my day off (whenever that is) I will enjoy fresh ground coffee. Thanks Traci, I LOVE IT!
To answer your question Karen....when the kids go back to school we will have a coffee and danish morning. Sound good? It does to me.
