The Year of ENDS!

I've dubbed this year, "the year of ends"! Let me explain...
Wesley ends his:
high school years
marching band hoorah and MMPA's
concert band and MPA's
try outs for honors band
Buffalo Beat Cafe's
Villages Music Awards
need to have his saxophone fixed every other week
attending Friday night football games and that feeling of pride when your son marches on the field for the pre game or half time show!
high school drama
long talks about why school uniforms are a good thing
wondering whether he has money in his lunch account
being a young adult. He's now 18...I guess that makes him an adult???


Pickles ends leading a normal dog life and begins his dog on Chemo life


Jacob ends living in North Carolina 
Crystal ends living in North Carolina
Peyton ends being one 

Peyton, slow down how fast you are growing up...Geema wants more time with your infant self!


The year of ends! 


There will be new beginnings, that I am sure of...but I liked the old "ends" and I'm not ready to give up both my boys to being young men!

So it's been awhile...

here goes 8 months of updates...

Peyton turned one last July. We celebrated her birthday here in FL with family,friends and lots of birthday presents!

Peyton and Breanna share the same birthday...so we also celebrated Breanna's 16th birthday

House addition and pool remodel are finally complete...needless to say, neither were done in time for Peyton or Breanna's birthday parties...

Wesley began his senior year of high school...my where has the time gone? We spent much of our fall days and nights following the VHS Marching Band and Color Guard. They always put on a spectacular show and their sounds will continue to be music to my ears!

Crystal started Artistic Images Photography in NC and has taken some pretty awesome photos for many families

Jacob stepped up to anew position and earned his Airman First Class rank. He leaves later this year for Korea

She Scrapbooks relocated to a larger store in The Villages...we miss Lake Sumter Landing but we love our larger-new home in La Plaza Grande Shopping Center.

More of life's details later...till then, follow me on FB, Pinterest and subscribe to the She Scrapbooks Newsletter on our blog she-scrapbooks.blogspot.com

life rewound...

i find myself in a weird state these days. yea, more weird than normal! this thing we call life seems to be in fast forward mode for me. just yesterday, jacob was "ghost riding" his bicycle and wes was wearing those darn goggles around his neck while he peddalled the tractor up and down the driveway...today jacob has a family and has served in afghanistan and wes is a senior in high school with a steady girlie friend. i want to have full access to life's rewind button...just for a day! i miss the little boy smell that they kept tucked away behind their cute lil' ears!
