Blog Changes

Pardon the mess. I am trying to change up my background and header. Things are going well for us and we are looking forward to the changes ahead of us this year.

We are now without training wheels...

Woo-hoo. Andy no longer needs training wheels and he is super fast. Friday we spent at the school he is starting in the fall and just let him ride in the grass. He just took right off and only had a couple of frustrating moments. I got some pictures of him that I can't wait to scrap but lately I haven't felt like being on the computer. I did finish Day two of Disney though and hopefully this week I will be able to post them and start on Day Three as well. We are so very proud of Andy for not giving up on the whole bike thing. It is hard to get him off his bike now unless you mention dessert, lol. Anyway, that is all from the Stratton's for now.

Still Here...

I am still here even though I have not blogged in a little while. I am working on finishing up Day 2 from our Disney trip. Also, there have just been a lot of things going on in our lives and I don't have the time right now to share. Hope you are all well!

Love,

Stephany

My Husband is the GREATEST...

On Wednesday of last week I was downloading some freebies and got caught with a horrible virus. We realized that even though we thought the computer was protected with antivirus software, it actually was not. Needless to say after doing so many things to try and rid the computer of the virus and being unsuccessful he had to use our recovery disks which were not updated from march of '07. Ooh well, it really made me realize that this stuff is just that, stuff. My husband did not just stop with restoring the computer to it 2007 settings, he got most all of my programs back on and running for me. I am supposed to be scrapping right now but I just had to brag on my man. Anyway, watch out for Spyware Protect 2009. That is the bug that got into our computer and totally messed up our computer registry.

Have a great night and happy scrapping,

If I have left anyone out of the credits so far I am sorry and I thank you for your wonderful designs.

Today Andy and I are playing school. Right now I have him doing worksheets. He is on his third and saying he is done.  He really has done a great job of listening to me while we play school. I got him ready to take to preschool this morning and when we got there we were told that we would probably be getting a call in one hour to come and pick him up for early school closing. There is the possibility of ice on the roads and since we Texans do not know how to drive on ice than they prefer people to stay off of them. So, we are trying to stay warm inside our home but I really need to get some groceries. That will be an errand here soon before getting dinner started.

That's all I have for now so have a great day and God bless each and every one of you!

Just popping in...

Just thought I would drop a line on our blog to say that we are all doing well and I am trying to get the scrapping bug again. Tomorrow night I get to go to my church for a craft night and I hope to start finishing up some of the Disney lo's that I started. I am only on the first day but I already have about 10 lo's started and I am not done with the first day. It is really hard to decide which pictures NOT to include. They are all so much fun!

Right now I am trying to transfer most to all of my digital scrapbooking material to my new Western Digital My Book. I got it for Christmas from my wonderful MIL along with Photoshop Elements 7. I still haven't had the chance to open that up and start playing. One thing at a time though. I am also working on laundry so my boys and I can have clean clothes to wear. I did get some lo's done that I would like to share. I used a lot of different kits, elements and templates from different designers that I would like to just say think you so much. If you would like to know who made what please leave me a comment and I will try to get back with you in a timely fashion. Have fun looking:

    That's it for now but I hope to start sharing our Disney LO's soon.

Have a great day and God Bless you all!

Oh the sweet prayers of little children!

As I was putting Andrew to bed tonight we said our evening prayers and his went like this: "Father above, please help me with football season. I really want to go to college." I thought it was so sweet.

I have been trying to take a picture for everyday for the Project 365 and I have some really cute ones. I am wondering when I am going to have the time to scrap our Disney vacation though and the P365. I guess I will have to just take it one day at a time and with God's help I will be able to do it.

Goodnight,

Stephany
