Good Afternoon! Here are the recent pages I have finished. Im not sure if anyone is even looking at these besides my mom anymore! So here ya go mom! lol
 David, Brian, Codie and I at Sea World in TX in 2007
 Wedding pics. No I STILL havent finished that album...
 This one came out fuzzy, but its fall pics of Constance and Ivy. Fall 2008
 Same fall, just Halloween pics. This is one of my favorite Halloweens with them.

 Constance in the summer of 2006 in her cool shades!
 Christmas 2005 with Davids family
And a page of my grandparents in Canada 1999. Some of my favorite memories with my grandpa. These scrapbook pages bring on whole new meaning now, and really show me why I do all this scrapbooking. We now have a nice way to look back and remember all the fun times.

I have decided to take a break from scrapbooking today and take a bubble bath and read instead. Im just so thankful that I have a hubby who has been giving me time to myself in the afternoons on the days that he is home. I know next year he will be a whole lot busier getting his instructors liscence, so I need to take advantage of this time now! Hope to get a few more pages done this weekend :)

    Thought I would post about the goings on around here lately. As we all know the fourth of July was last week. We spent the evening on the beach and then headed over to a bridge that takes you to the islands to watch the fireworks. It was pretty neat to see them over the water and all the boats that glittered underneath. The girls really enjoyed themselves.

   David is doing amazing in school. Right now he is number one in his class, and the farthest than anyone else in his flights. One more flight to go tomorrow and he will have his instrument ratings. You have to have this to have your commercial liscence. Instrument is a huge step! I am so proud of him. Later this week he will be flying to Key West for the day. Am I jealous? Heck yes!! He has been instructed to take a ton of pics. I will be starting him a flight scrapbook to put right next to all his military ones, which I have officially finished! Yay me!

   We are all looking forward to this fall. The girls start school August 20th. Constance will be in 2nd grade (that went by super fast!), and Ivy will be starting Kindergarten. Im excited and worried for her. She has a harder time with school than Constance. She wants to go but she is also very nervous about being away from home. So Im really hoping a praying it all goes smoothly for her. I know the first week may be hard, but Im hoping after that she settles down into her school routine easily without to many problems. Its funny how different two kids can really be. Its going to be strange for me to only have Paige at home during the day! Im sure we will have fun and take naps!

   We will also have lots of visitors this fall, which I am really excited about! My dad, step mom, and Grandma will be here in September. We will all be staying in Orlando for a few days. We are going to Cape canveral to see the space center, and Daytona to see the sights there. As well as a few things to do in Orlando. Then in October my mom and JR will be here. David and I will get our first date in a whole year! We got free tickets to Universal Studios. We will be going to the beach and Disney with them as well. The kids are super excited about that one!

   Then in December we are headed to Missouri for Christmas. This Christmas will be different for my family without Grandpa. I still miss him so much and still find myself breaking down from time to time. He was one of the best men in my life. Its almost been two months since he passed and it still just doesnt seem right without him. It may never feel right.  It really makes you appriciate your time with loved ones that much more. Especially when you dont live close and cant see your family everyday.

   Well that is pretty much all that is going on here right now. Not much at the moment, but this fall should keep us pretty busy! Hope all is well with the rest of you! Have a good day :)

Moms surgery page!





Moms surgery in 2008. Before and after pic!
here is my latest page... I was hoping to get more done last night, but it just wasn't in the cards! Coming up soon though will be some Christmas, (old) pool, and baby pages. I just ordered some more photos today. Trying to get caught up, but to be honest with you all. I am still a year behind. Ahhh! Oh well, I am getting there.

This summer my goal is to get all of Ivy's preschool pages finished (since she is starting Kindergarten in August :(  and get all of Constance's 1st grade pages done. She will be a big 2nd grader! I cant believe it! The ultimate goal is to have their school scrapbooks done by the time graduation rolls around so I can give them to them as a gift. We will see if I can keep up with it over the years. It wont be easy especially with three of them!

Only 23 weeks until my mom comes to visit! We are all looking forward to it! It will be much needed by that time and we have a lot of fun things planned! And David and I will get our one date this year! lol We are going to go up for a flight in the morning and then head to Universal Studios for the rest of the day! And thanks to my wonderful husband and his connections we got ourselves some free tickets! woohoo! Which means I can spend more at the harry potter section of the park, which is the main reason I wanted to go in the first place! Cant wait to do those pages!!

good afternoon :)

Hello! Not much going on in the Singell household lately. Only big thing is David is actually on his solo cross country flight as I type this out. Once he gets back from that he will only have a few flights left before he officially has his private pilot licence!! I know he will be pretty happy to get it. Next on his agenda would be his multi-engine private pilot. He only needs 10 hours of flight time to get that though so it should not take long at all! 

The girls are all doing great. Constance will be home from school soon. She is doing really great in 1st grade! Next year she will be a big 2nd grader! She told me just this morning that she heard 2nd grade is really hard! lol Ivy will also be starting school this next year. She says she does not want to go, so we will see how well this goes! Her and Constance are total opposites when it comes to this.

We are looking forward to my mom and JR coming out for a week long visit in October! Only 28 more weeks to go, not like I'm counting or anything ;) We will probably spend a lot of time at the beach while they are here! 

Other than that there really isn't anything else going on in our daily lives! Here are a few pages I finished over this last week! Have a good week everyone, miss you all!
 Constance got in to the baby powder and was making clouds! She was almost four in these pics
 Constance's 4th birthday! We had a cake, did presents and then went to Sea World for the day
 Constance's Kindergarten winter party!
Ivy and Constance when they were little! The look on Constance's face just cracks me up!

A few pages...

Here are a few pages I finished this last week. I may have some nights this weekend to do a few more, but we shall see! Hope everyone is having a great week and enjoying the warm weather there in Missouri! I think you guys have been just about as warm as we have. 
 Four of us in Gina's pool! This was before Paigey was even thought of...
 Paige this last October. I just love this picture of her!
Constance's first birthday pictures we had done in Colorado :) Hard to believe she will soon be 7!

Im back!

I took quite a vacation from blogging as you all know :) I also took a vacation from scrapping, I think I just burnt myself out doing so much. My new goal is just one page a week. I may do more, like I did last night, but life seems to have gotten busier after our move to Florida! And with a two year old on hand who is potty training, I dont get a lot of down time.



I finished three pages last night, and I will say it was nice to be at it again. I have missed it. I just did the first three pics in my boxes/pile and they all happened to be of Constance. Being the oldest, I seem to have a ton more pictures of when she was little then I do with Ivy and Paige. So anyways here are the pages I finished. I may do a page or two tonight, just depends on how bedtime goes.











I am also adding a few pics of our goings on after we moved here to Florida. The weather is warm and the water is so nice :) We are loving it here, but also a tad bit homesick. Hoping to make it home for Christmas at the end of the year. That still seems so far away though :(
