{ IN LOVE }

Spring is one of my favortie times of the year!

I LOVE IT!

So many great things are happening!

Babies animals are being born~

Spring bulbs are blooming~

The new leaves on the trees are saying hello~

The smell of fresh cut grass~

The feel of the warm Sunshine on your skin~

I am in LOVE!!

Stairwell gallery

I am linking up my photo gallery wall to
The Inspired Room’s Gallery Wall Party.
If you get a chance, you should go check out all the FUN links!

I have always wanted a stair case to put a bunch of pictures
in and I finally have one!  YAY!

Here is my gallery so far...

I love old pictures of my Family!

They mean so much to me!

Which is what all of these are

except for the updated colored ones of my children.

Making memories Meaningful!

Making Memories Meaningful

I have always been sentimental and love to have family pictures displayed around my home.  Old and new.  My favorites are old family pictures of my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. 

Here are a few ways that I make memories meaningful...

These are pictures of my Great Grandparents.

All intact in the original bubble glass frames. 
I love that I have them.

This is a picture of my Grandpa's House that he grew up in as a kid.  They are all standing on the porch of the home in the picture.

 My Dad as a child.

I love this picture of my Grandpa.  He was such a good man!

My mother with her Granparents. 

Can you see the beautiful Fox Gloves in the background?

A wall in my Family Room full of new and old pictures.

This one is also one of my favorites. 

 It is my Grandpa, sitting on a camel, in Egypt during WWII.

This one is a picture of my Granparents pushing my

aunt in a cute little buggy down the street.

I can just imagine them strolling down the street on a Saturday afternoon,

going in and out of cute little shops.

How do you "Make your Memories meaningful?"

Reminiscing

The last few days I have watched the Notebook for the first time and also Dear John.  Those Sappy Movies make me reminisce about my children and how big they are getting and how much I miss when they where little Stinkers!  Here are a few pictures I found of them.

Don't mind me, I am like 7 mths. prego in this picture!

Are we too spoiled?

Are we too spoiled? 

I swallowed a BIG piece of humble pie on our trip to Belize last week! 

I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for what I have and try to be sincerely grateful for EVERYTHING I have.  But I like many of us am always thinking, "What else can I do to my house?"  Do I need a BIGGER house?  I don't like this or I don't like that!

Let's just take a moment to think about what we really have...

And what others don't...

A time to be Grateful

Well we are back from our great vacation!  We had a great time! 

I saw and did things that will make a lasting impression on my mind!  I fell very grateful at the moment for the things that I have.  And sad for the times that I take them for grantide.   Here are some of the things that we saw and did.  Thanks for all your great inspirations to me everyday!
