Project 365

I know...I said that I would have pics of the house up by now, but I don't. But, I am starting a new project that I think will be really fun. It's called Project 365. I'm going to take a picture a day for a whole year and then do an album and look back over our year in a new place. Another friend of mine is doing this and I thought I'd give it a try. I love photography anyway, so it should be fun. I'll also try to post something everyday as well....maybe I should shoot for every week!

We just got kicked off with our soccer season. Garrett is playing in U-11 this year and his coach seems to really have it together. Trey is also going to be the assistant coach. It's really nice for Trey to have a normal job with normal hours. He's worked crazy hours and traveled so much that this will be the 1st time since Garrett's been playing that he can actually commit to helping. He's really excited and so is Garrett. Grace has moved up to U-8 and is still by far the shortest, smallest person on her team. Back home in La, she was on an all girls team and now she's 1 of the 2 girls that are on the team. I don't think it matters much to her. She's a tough one and I bet she'll give most of the boys a good run for their money. Her coach is British and hopefully this is a good thing since soccer is life across the pond. He's already noticed her speed and no fear attitude. So, hopefully, this will be a great soccer season and will give us another outlet to meet people in our area.

I'll leave you with a few pics that I do have of the house that I took about a month ago. Also, you'll see the "art" that I made for the girls room. I promise to get more pics of our new furniture and other projects on here soon. Must go for now...gotta get Anna Claire to story time at the library!

PIcs of the house

Hey. Since people have been asking me to post pics of the inside of our house, I guess I will....right after I clean! LOL! I don't have too much junk to pick up, it's just the motivation to get it done! I'll get back to you this afternoon with some pics. Until then, Happy Cleaning! UGH...Thanks Carol!

Back to the blog world

Hello all. Sorry I haven't blogged in forever. We've been super busy getting settled into our new digs! All boxes are gone, but we still have things to put on the walls. We're trying to hold out in the living room until we figure out what color we want to paint it. I was able to print some pics of our travels from the summer and frame. I must say so myself that they are awesome! I plan to do a collage in the living room soon. I've also made the girls some accessories for their room. We painted it a bubble gum pink with a chocolate stripe in the middle. I went to Hobby Lobby and got some coordinating scrapbook paper, a white frame, and some letters. I layered the paper and spelled out their names with the letters and framed it. It's looks really good and I have some orders to do some for some friends and neighbors. Who knows, it may turn into something! Other than house stuff, not too much has been happening around here. Garrett and Grace start soccer practice this week. We're really excited about it. Our kids love soccer, so I hope this new league will be good for them. Also, they will be able to make lots of new friends. Anna Claire opted not to play soccer this time around, so she'll be starting gymnastics soon. By the way, she just turned 5! I know, I can't believe that my baby girl is 5!!! We're having a small party for her this weekend. Some neighborhood friends and friends from church are gonna come. It should be fun and it'll be one of the "first" parties we'll have at our new house. That's about all going on in the Rookard Bunch for now. I need to run so I can finish supper and get my soccer star to practice!
