digi scrapping

Not sure what my latest ... not sure what to call it ... obsession maybe ... what it is all about.  I am all over trying to find FREE digi scrapbooking paper, embelleshments, etc.  I have spent some money on some kits, but definitely all about the freebies!  I've found some super cute sites here, here, here ... seriously, my list could go on and on! 

If you have some cool sites you shop for digi scrapping kits, pass 'em my way!

8.76 miles ... getting there ... just a few more to go

I'm training for my second half marathon.  This morning I went running with Davery {married to one of Heath's cousins} and a friend of hers ... and now mine! :)  Had an awesome run through Gilbert and Mesa!  We only intended to go 8 miles, but ended at 8.76!  I love my new shoes [looove nike] and can't wait for our next long run. 

feeling so loved

an amazing legacy!

Logan is FINALLY into airplanes!  I'm sooo happy about this because my family has been into airplanes since I was .... well, before I was even thought about!!  I was even named after an airplane ... The Jenny.

I sent a FB message out to my family, asking them to send me ANY pictures of planes that are still in the family, pictures of our family airport ... anything that has to do with our family and our heritage.  I am going to take the pictures that I've been sent and blow them up on canvas', on metallic paper, LARGE ... oh I'm sooo excited!

Check out some of the pictures I have been sent so far!  I don't know the story behind each image, but I am soo thankful for such an amazing and supportive family who stepped up, took time out of their busy lives and sent me some of my heritage.

TO MY FAMILY - you are all so very amazing!   I can't tell you how much this means to me and I have really enjoyed seeing these awesome pictures. My memories of airshows and fly in's, all over California, growing up have such a huge place in my heart and are such a part of who I am.  I couldn't be more proud of my family and who we are.

just amazing!!! This is one of my favorite views EVER!

1942 - our families airport
Built by my Great Grandfather, Grandfather, Great Uncle and more ... 

This one is AMAZING! 
My mom loves to tell the story about growing up with a dirt runway in their "back yard" and taking the planes up with her siblings and getting "tattled" on by the neighbors.  None of them were old enough to drive ... but they all knew how to fly!  The top picture is of the home my grew up in with their hanger, plane and runway.  It later became Highway 101 in San Jose.  The picture below is of the men who built the airport.  In this image, I recognize my Grandpa and Great Grandpa.

Doug (cousin) 14 yrs old

This is the TravelAir.  I LOOOVE this plane and have some pretty amazing memories of flying stunts in it with my cousin Doug.  Flying upside down, in an open cockpit ... there's nothing like it!

custom cars

Heath and the kiddos found an awesome store at the Superstitions Springs Mall.  This guy does air brush painting on tees, hats, matchbox cars, hot wheels cars ... and the kids have been begging to get a custom car.  For $9.99 you can pick out a car and have it painted how you'd like ... whatever you'd like!!  Logan and Addi got money for their birthdays so they decided to buy cars and have them customized!  They turned out AWESOME!!!! 

I can't wait to take Kaiden here on his next visit.
