Digital Scrapbooking

I found these digital scrapbook elements on a really great website called shabby princess.  They were free to download!  I put this scrapbook page together using Photoshop Elements.  This is my first attempt at digital scrapbooking, but I think I may be hooked!

Above the Inversion

Today I took Todd, Allie, Rees, and Lindsey to Sundance for a little skiing on their holiday from school.  It was 9 degrees when we got out of the car, but sunny and beautiful.  It was a little crowded, but we still managed to get plenty of runs in.  The air in the valley has been horrible the last few days from the inversion, so it was great to get up above it.  With all the sunshine, we didn't feel cold at all!  More pictures tomorrow . . .

New Year's Day

Wedding Date

May 22!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

It is a white Christmas this year! We have had an enjoyable family day, opening presents, playing games, eating and eating some more, and best of all, getting to talk to the missionaries. We were surprised this morning with a phone call from Grandma and Grandpa Rees in Romania! It was amazing to be able to talk to them as if they were next door, and hear that all is well with them. About an hour later we heard from Drew. He, too, sounded great and wasn't ready at all to talk about coming home in the spring. He loves being a missionary! He is currently serving in the city of Raleigh and was a bit envious of our snowy weather. He said it was sunny and 70 degrees there today. It was fun to share Travis' good news with him. Wonder what next Christmas will bring!

An Announcement

It's official! Travis and Caitlin are engaged. They plan to be married the end of April or first of May, shortly after Drew gets home from his mission. Our family is thrilled to be gaining a daughter/sister! Caitlin is everything we could hope for in a daughter-in-law, and she makes Travis so happy! There are so many arrangements to make, not the least of which is finding a "mother of the groom" dress, so let me know if anyone sees something that might work. I'm sure everything else will just fall into place!
