Memory Monday....

This past Saturday, the kids and I ventured to my parents house for a visit. This is a common occurrence for us on the weekends because Dave works Saturdays and by then I'm ready for a change of scenery and a little break from the kids. My fam is always up for playing with the kids so I can relax a bit, run some errands, go to a hair appointment or whatever. This time I decided that it would be fun to scan some of my parents old photos.
As many of you know already Apple/Mac computers are aimed for a creative mind. They've got Garage band for singer songwriter type stuff, Iphoto, IDVD and IMovie for creating music videos and slideshows. Just that much of it has made me crazy about learning how to master each program. I made a highlight video for my soccer team last year on Dave's school computer and then this year on ours. I had limited time and media but with what I had it turned out alright. Since then I've been throwing some of our pics together and learning a lot more. SOO>>>I guess I got a little spark in me to TRY and be one of those "cool video nerds" and make stuff for christmas presents??? or like I said TRY different things out and one day be cool. hah

Wow. anyways. Scanning pics at my parents house turned out to be a riot. I decided that every future visit I will scan at least some of the Bateman photo archive. Just so all the memories are right at my finger tips for creative purposes.
I'm one of those people that loves to watch old family videos and have the "Oh ya, and remember when..." conversations. So, this is exciting for me.

Here are just some of the pics that I scanned so we can go down memory lane together..
BTW- I scanned a lot of my little brother Jay because of course I miss him to death, LOVE him and think that a picture video of his life would be a great thing for all of us to have. He is so dang cute too.





I also got a lot of my ma and pa before they were married and their wedding...pretty cute couple!
