Valentines #7, 8, 9, 10, and 11!!

K Gonna keep this short cuz lets face it it's late 

and I just wanted to quickly update valentines 

before the computer potentially actually dies :( .  

(they always seem to blow up in my face 

or fall apart while I'm using them!!)

#7 

Late Night Snack!!

#8, #9

Totally confess that I missed a day so the next day he got two!!

 (lucky dude!)

#10

Bubbles -  (just incase you were confused!!) 

Strategically given to him on Sunday to stimulate 

some daddy time with him and the girls so 

I could sit down for about 10 minutes!!

#11

This  must be a major reflection on the weekend I was having

(Today was a MAJOR recovery day!!)

The Idea is the sucker is supposed to look like a super hero.

Um - is it just me or does he look like a 

villain/bank robber to anyone else??

oh and Yep that's a chocolate smear!! 

Charming I know . . . good thing he 

doesn't take things too seriously!

Anyway stay tuned for the last few days of valentines!!

I promise a post about bunk beds 

and January Date Night is on the way!!

Valentines #5, #6, #7, and Family History Progress and Goals

These past few days have been a little bit crazy,
I apologize for keeping you all in suspense about
daily valentines!!

Here are the last few days of valentines!!

Valentine #5
Sunday afternoon Shane received this one and shared some with everyone.


(just like I secretly hoped he would)

Valentine #6
Monday morning I slipped these into his backpack.He said he would keep them in his desk for Emergency Rations!!

Valentine #7
This morning I gave him this one.


Which he promptly shared with Ms A!! (so sweet of him!!)

FAMILY HISTORY
Here is where things stand!!

My Mother has family histories for each of us children
back at least 4 generations.
Life stories not just pedigree charts.
I just finished reading them this week.
Which led me to some specific goals.

As I was reading through the binder I kinda lost track
of the line and who I was reading about several times.
In that collection there actually was not ANY
Pedigree charts or Family Group Sheets.
On further investigation I found out that
although my mother has an abundance of written information,
she does not have any of it organized on a computer program.

Goal #1 is to Get Pedigree Charts and Family Group Sheets ready
for the Family Histories books,
and to get started computerizing her files,
which includes getting in contact with the relatives
who do have this already computer ready!

Shanes Grandma also gave us a collection of
life histories from his family for Christmas.

Goal #2 Read through these and compile a list of questions for her.

This is my Grandfather.My uncle just petitioned the government
for his service records in the Air Force.
(which he is sharing with everyone!)

Talking with my father about his records I found
he has not scanned ANY of his documents
that he has obtained copies of to verify his records.

Goal #3 Go through Dad's Huge box of originals
and help him scan them and link them to
appropriate ancestors through his program.

So I am Happy to have a chosen Direction with family history.
When I decided to focus more on family history I didn't expect
it to be so consuming and exciting!
I definitely didn't think it would be so hard
to just pic a direction to move forward with!!
Man it was difficult
I could have made multiple goals for each line of our family history!!
I feel like 3 is PLENTY!!

I'll Keep you posted!!

Looking forward to tomorrows post!!
DATE NIGHT IS TONIGHT!!
