Krop Paper Scissors

Celebrate Your Memories!!

Saturday is National Scrapbook Day (yes, we have our own day!!), and we have a great 18-hour crop going on here at KPS (see 'Upcoming Events' section).  The importance of preserving your photos, and your memories, is immeasurable.  I know there are lots of things going on and the weather is beautiful, so if you can't get away to make it to an organized crop, take a little time to put picture to paper and jot down the memories that go with it.  One day, you'll be thankful you took the time to do it, I promise!

While I Was Away...

So, last week John and I were hard to track down and I wanted to share just why.  Our son, Alex brought his little family (Candice & Sydney), out from Georgia for a week (Candice & Sydney were part of the KPS scenery while Alex was stationed in Korea).  Alex is in the Air Force and will soon be leaving for a tour in Afganistan, so we were thrilled to be able to have some time with him before he leaves. 

Amanda (one of our daughters), and her hubby, Cody, brought their two (Madalyn & Cady), over Sunday for a cookout.  The only one missing is Jennifer (our oldest daughter, who lives down in Santa Barbara), and her going to the Britney Spears concert with her friends trumped anything anyone else was doing (long story, but a funny one)!

So, Mimi and Papa had all three of their granddaughters together for one day!!!  Here's the best of all the attempts for a good photo (Cady's on my lap; Madalyn has her arm around Sydney):

Plus good news: there's another one on the way!!!

...to you!!  Our Second Annual Crop for a Cure was a HUGE success!!!  We laughed, we cried, we cropped, all in the name of finding a cure for cancer.  The generosity of scrapbookers never ceases to amaze me; so far, the total from this event is just under $3,500!!!

Setting up (yes, everyone got a SIX FOOT table to themselves!):

 

About halfway...

 

Just some high-jinx!!
