Holidays

I can't believe tomorrow is December 1st! But it doesn't come before celebrating my 36th birthday today. I am reminded every day of how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family and group of friends!

The Greenman clan will be busy as ever this December. I started my December Daily album to record every step! I have a lot of scrapping to do and I am truly enjoying working with Valerie Salmon and the whole Gotsketch Masters team!! You can check out my sketch revisted layout here: http://gotsketch.blogspot.com/2011/11/sketches-revisited-sketch-6.html. And you can see the new graphic banner of me that Val created!

I'd have to say the highlight of my month was Michigan's win over Ohio State and this picture I got of my beautiful and handsome family:

My mom was here last week and we enjoyed a week of baking cookies, decorating the house, and visiting Scirocco everyday on the farm. He has become a big part of our family and I love watching Brooke learn to trust him more and more each day. She wouldn't even stand 10 ft in front of him and now she picks up his hooves to clean out his feet!

I wish all my friends and family a blessed holiday season! May Santa be good to you : )

Mom and Don's puppy Teddy:

My mom will be coming down next week and I am SO excited to scrapbook with her! I will be sure to share our creations!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

We're back!

What a whirlwind adventure Adam and I had on our overseas cruise. The sights were AMAZING and I loved spending time with Adam. The trip back wasn't as wonderful but hey, we made it! It only took 43+ hours!

This Monday my horse will be coming down to South Carolina from Michigan. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I can't wait to get back to that part of my life again...riding! What a blessing.

My mom will be here for Thanksgiving and I can't wait to decorate the house for Christmas and make Christmas cookies. This is my favorite time of year.

I will post pictures from our trip this weekend. I still have ALOT of catching up to do!

OMG I am SO excited

I can't believe it. Valerie Salmon asked me to join the gotsketch team. She has always been one of the most influential people to me in the scrapbook industry and I have taken ALL of her gotsketch classes. I am beyond excited. You can check out the team here: TEAM!

Here are some pages I created in her class:
The best part of Skytop Orchard: apple cider donuts and apple slushies!
Ty playing the the leaf pile in the front yard. He thought it was THE best!

Well, I'm off to tending to my little boy. He is still sick and needs some more mommy time!

More Layouts!

Here are some more layouts I've created recently.

Here is one of us on the first Saturday of Michigan football this year. We aren't excited at all! LOL! Ty still fits in his jersey and Adam's parents bought us a new flag for outdoors. The other flag had holes in it...such true fans : ) So far so good for Michigan. Hope they can keep it up!
Here is a layout from Skytop Orchard. We went on a weekend trip last weekend and stayed with our friends Josh and Sarah. It was warm all week but cooled off for the weekend. When we arrived in the mountains it was only 52 degrees, hence the jackets, gloves, and hats! We had a blast! We actually got to pick apples off the trees this year. We still enjoyed apple cider doughnuts and apple slushies. They had a new doughnut: pumpkin=yummy! We bought tons of apples and cider and made my mom's apple crisp the night we got home. This is ALWAYS a favorite yearly trip of mine. We also spent the night walking around downtown Greenville. It's gorgeous there!
HERE ARE SOME LAYOUTS I CREATED AS DESIGN TEAM MEMBER AT TRANSPARENT TOUCHES WITH THEIR OCTOBER KIT #2!

Here is a picture of Brooke on her first day of kindergarten. Daddy took her to school!
Here are some pics from Ty's 2nd birthday. After dinner and cake we headed down to the neighborhood pool for a swim! We were joined by the Beck's, Uncle Sean, Grammy and Papa.
Brooke is becoming quite the artist. Here is a picture of her chalkgirl in the garage!
And here is my beautiful little girl. She is growing up WAY too fast!
Well, let's hope the Lions, Tigers, and Wolverines can keep the good luck running : ) It certainly makes for a happier household, or at least that's what daddy tells us!

Layouts!

Here are a few new layouts I've completed in the past couple of weeks! Thought I would share.

Ty was being SO funny at Brooke's soccer game. He was making the funniest faces for Gaga!


And here is Ty again with his favorite person in the WHOLE world....Papa!

Monday we celebrated Lydia's 5th birthday. Here are a couple pics from the party. Brooke is with her friend Kayleigh!

Next week I should have some WONDERFUL pictures and layouts from our trip to the apple orchard in the NC mountains. It's become an annual tradition to go and always proves to be a ton of fun. Although the best part are the apple cider donuts and apple cider slushies!!

Fall is in the Air!

Wow...fall has arrived! Well, at least for a couple days. The weather changes SO much down here. Anyhow, we had the air off and the windows open all weekend. It was so nice to air out the house from the hot summer. Unfortunately, it comes with pollen and stuffy noses. Ty and Brooke both are feeling pretty stuffy : (

Brooke had another great soccer game! She is really starting to build her confidence and get in there with the boys! Here is a picture of her scoring her first goal!


Of course, football started and Michigan is off to a great start. Let's hope they can keep it up : ) Here is a picture I took a couple weekends ago. I'm not sure who is more excited for football, Ty or Daddy!

Football season means LOTS of time with our friends and family. We had a wonderful time at the Beck's this past Saturday. It was so nice outside, they put up a sheet in the back yard with the projector to watch the game.

I can't believe it is already September 19th. Time is flying. I am getting excited, and nervous, for October. So many trips planned such as the apple orchard, Adam's annual golf outing with the boys, and our big trip over sea. It is also time for Grammy Marsha to visit and the kids to get dressed up for Halloween. It is going to be another busy month but I wouldn't change it for the world!

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!
