About Me

My photo
Greenville, North Carolina, United States
Hello, My name is Tracey. I am a wife, sister, daughter, and mother of three. I have taken photos of my children and family members for years. My love for photography became a passion when I received my first 35mm SLR from my wonderful husband for my 1st Mothers Day. Nothing captures a moment in time like a photograph. It is my desire to capture images that reflect life's moments as you remember it.

Free Photobook

A friend of mine shared this website with me last month and I thought I would share it with you all. You get a free (yes FREE) photo book once a month~! You don't even have to pay shipping! The book is about 8X10 in size and is not a hard cover but - hey free is free! There are different backgrounds you can use and everything! Really neat.
Just go to Hot Prints and get started.

Popping Wheelies...

The weather has been great the last couple of days and the boys have had a blast riding their bikes. They have discovered that they pop wheelies. We had a few crash and burns but some how they survived...
Here is what I watched all afternoon!

A New Look

So I tried out my new software that I got for my birthday (photoshop elements) and gave my blog a new look. I think it turned out okay. I still don't know a whole lot about it but I am so looking forward to learning how to use it. So if anybody has any tips please share! :0)
I celebrated my 38th birthday today. I don't quite feel "old" yet - even though my dear husband reminds me quite often that I am older than he. We quietly celebrated at home with a good ole pizza and homemade hot fudge sundaes! I received lots of email, text messages and wall postings on facebook. Over all I had a really great day!
I will share with the card my dear sweet husband gave to me...






He has such a sence of humor....

Snow in NC

It doesn’t happen often, but every now and then it snows here in Eastern NC. The boys LOVED it~ I think it is beautiful but I would rather have warm and sunny weather. Due to snow not being a common event, the boys do not really have the proper attire for snow. I did have some hand me downs so they faired okay. Keeping feet and hands warm and dry is the hardest part. LOL

Got to Get back to it~!

It has been forever since I have blogged - I know. I could spend days catching up on everyone. Face book has taken over my life it seems - farming, cooking, chatting with friends. There has been a lot going on as usual in our lives. The weather has been the coldest EVER. Yesterday turned out to be just gorgeous~ We took the kids to a local state park and let the run. It was great. They had a blast climbing trees and exploring the trails.


Here are some updated pics....

Been A long Time....

Time…. It passes so quickly! I have been so busy and it is getting worse daily it seems. I have not blogged in forever; but I have become a Face Book junkie these days. I have gotten back in touch with some of my closest high school girlfriends. We actually have got together once for dinner and we are doing it again this Friday night.
Thomas finally got a “release” from the oncologist at the end of October. That is one place I hope we never have to visit again! The summer needless to say was not our “best” summer but it all worked out. I consider us very blessed.
Here is a quick update:
Thomas is doing great in the 3rd grade. He is in the highest reading and math class. He thinks his teacher is “hot” (so does my husband – she is really cute) and has a new “girl friend”.
Tyler is learning to read in school, and doing a pretty good job too. He has all of a sudden taken an interest in sounding out words so I am doing my best to encourage that. His little buddy Spencer is in his class – those two are a hoot.
Tanner is doing well in school too. It took him a little while to adjust to kindergarten. There was a “bully” (to put it politely) in his class that has finally been removed from the classroom. This little boy was pushing, kicking cussing and spitting – at Tanner, other students and the teacher too. Thank the Lord our Principle is getting this child the help he needs! Tanner is starting to blossom now!
The boys are ready for Christmas. They are all so excited! They went to see Santa and Thomas gave him directions to the Lego store. It was so stinking cute to see them in awe talking with Santa! I need to do some work on my blog to get it up to date. I hope you all are doing well and I can’t wait to catch up with you all!
