just stopping in to wish all of you mother's out there, a very happy mother's day! we're having a quiet day here. joe's gone for about 7 hours, umpiring two games, since baseball apparently does not rest, even for mother's day. lol! he did clean the entire house for me yesterday, and he will appreciate me giving him props for that on the blog. the girls and i will be hanging out at home, and heading to my brother's house for dinner later.

this is an older layout, that i made in 2008. these photos were from when alyssa was just 11 years old, and sarah was just 8 years old. it seems like so long ago. and yet just like yesterday. all at the same time. kind of crazy how that works.

sarah came down with her laptop last night, to show me some old video's that she was looking at. turns out, quite a while ago, she had taken a few of the video's, and put them together into a little movie. she even had an intro and credits. which i think is pretty cool, since i have NO clue how to do that sort of thing. no idea how she learned to do that. these were also from back in 2008. i love looking back at how silly and goofy they both were. the good news, is that they are STILL that silly and goofy.


 

did you catch the part when sarah talks about how they had this "special talent", and she makes the super scrunched up, huge smile? that's because the girls used to give me those smiles ALL the time, when i had my camera out. want more proof?

here's a layout i did a few years ago, after finding a bunch of those photos. actually, i made this in 2008. i'm not saying that, because i can remember when i made it. that's what the file info on this image tells me. lol! so i made this layout with old pics, the same year that the girls made those video's.

and another older, simple layout. photos from 2009. two girls that are still silly and goofy. i think i'll make it my goal to get another photo of them today, showing the same thing 🙂

    Love love love it!! What program does she use to make her videos? We are getting our almost 12 year old a video camera for his birthday. He loves to make videos on his flip–but the program isn’t compatible with Windows Movie Maker which we have. Anyway…Thanks for sharing. Happy Mom’s Day! Your girls are adorable.
