We have had an interesting week with the weather. We received an ice/sleet/snow mix Monday night/early Tuesday morning (2/1/11.) School was canceled ahead of time Monday night due to the forecast. High temperatures were set for low 20s and wind chill factors in the single digits and teens! The temperature has stayed in the low 20s and the ice is not melting! My school district was closed on Tuesday through Friday due to the weather. We received about six inches of snow on Friday to add to the previous ice/snow already on the ground! While at home on our snow week, I pulled out my scrapbook paper and supplies and made some layouts!

The picture of Jeff and I was taken at my grandparents house in Austin. It was the day before Christmas and we have been taking them yearly. We were married on October 19, 2002, so this picture marks seven years married.

Okay, so the Trace Adkins song, "You'll Gonna Miss This," was my inspiration in my layout! As I was pondering a great song, I came across this song and it made me think about this perfect picture I took of the boys shortly before Christmas. The weather was beautiful outside and for anyone who has or ever has lived in Texas, you know if you don't like the weather - just wait since it changes often. The boys were able to ride their bikes on 12/21/2009 and they even stopped and smiled for my camera! As I heard the song, it made me think how they both are getting so big and one day before I know it they will be all grown up! So I thought how I would feel along with how they will feel one day. One of the lines in the song says "Good Times," which is where I pulled the title.
Over the weekend, I found a new blog with sketches and really liked the variety and colorful sketches! I used Scrap A Little-Sketches #30 and Coordinates Collections paper from kits to create the layout. If you are interested in the lyrics, they can be found here.
Thanks for visiting! Time to go check out Tina's blog for the next stop!
