We had a family celebration yesterday and I took some photos- everyone was a bit grumpy because I had to shoot outside and it was cold. I am thrilled with how these turned out and am excited to share.

Welcome to the Memory Makers blog hop
My life is flooded with change right now, mostly regarding my kids. Two kids out of high school, one son living away from home, my youngest (shown below) is turning 11 tomorrow, and my twin sons start high school and driving all in the next few weeks. My head is spinning with change. I am doing my best to accept that this is all good and I am trying to embrace my hobbies and other creative pursuits to keep my life fulfilling. How do you handle change? Is can be scary and uncertain, but also inevitable.
This layout pictures my youngest son Caden as he is headed to school. The journaling is all about how to handle change and how their are many positive things to look forward to.
Make sure and move on to Francine's blog to see what she has in created to capture change and stop by the other ladies blogs listed below.
I am loving using circles in all my current porjects, can't seem to stop as a matter of fact. I like them whole, cut in half, layered, glittered, colored, even sticking out. Loving circles-some of my obsession came from this awesome scrapbooker, Vivian Masket and her top ten post here. Love these layouts!
Had a lovely time attending one of Caden's field trips. His class has been studying Utah history so we walked to a nearby pioneer museum and ate lunch at a local park. It was of course purple Friday so he is easy to spot.
The kids listened to stories about one room schools, frozen outhouses, and home made toys, they even played games with the old fashioned toys. I learned also and enjoyed looking at the pioneer artifacts, especially the old books.
After the museum we ate lunch and the kids played a game of red light, green light. (even the teacher is playing)
Caden pulled the usual 'I won't smile for the camera' madness. I did get a few face shots-better than the back of his head... I guess. I will be going on a few more field trips in the next few weeks, maybe I will get lucky and a shot of his face, without him pulling a wacky face. Wish me luck.
Yes, I need your good luck wishes and a serious bribe.
