Turn on your speakers!
So I thought I would change our blog a bit....and I love these two pictures. They are the perfect reminder of how long people have been documenting their lives through pictures and journals. I have always loved old things, anything to do with history(I hope hubby sees this and goes on a journey to find me an old typewriter I can display!). My mom has a picture album of her mom and dad when they were first married. It is the perfect piece of history ~ all black pages with some faded and torn black and white pictures. Some with photo corners and some without. It makes me want to go back in time.
Hubby and I both also love quotes. So I put a few on here that I like, and describe us. The new blog title, Take a Picture, comes from a song Hubby likes by Filter. I also like this song and I love Nickelback. When I get in the car with the kids to go out, I usually ask McQueen if he wants to listen to Country or Rock n Roll(because sometimes Hubby will leave in something like a Metallica or Led Zepplin cd). His usual response is Country, but every once in a while he will respond with Rock n Roll. So I will pop in one of Hubby's cd's, McQueen will rock out for about a minute, then ask for Country. I love it. Though I do enjoy a little ACDC or Guns n Roses once in while. Takes me back. Oh and Bon Jovi ~ can't forget him. =)
Anyway, I am in the process of setting up a little scrapbooking area in our basement. Must I add, FAAAREEEEZZING basement. I will have to get about 5 space heaters to keep myself warm. But, I think it will be fun and I am looking forward to finally documenting my children's lives and the most perfect wedding day ever of Hubby and I. He might not see me for all of 2008, but I will get caught up!

Cool post! I get bored of posting about my children all the time on my blog so I like to do something like this too every once in a while! Good luck with the scrap-booking. The last time I got my kids' books out was last Christmas! Pretty bad. But then I think, how long am I going to scrapbook for them? Didn't your Mom do your until you were way older? That's awesome.

Do you have them or does your mom? I think I'll have to look at them next time we're out! :)

I have them. They are really simple, but that is what I like about them. As long as there is a picture, a date and what we were doing. I think that is the most important. Anything more than that is too expensive anyway!
