Christmas is gone/ Day 5 layout


The tree is down, the lights are off the house, the christmas decor is put away. I will admit that most of my Christmas decororations are Snowmen, which is fitting since it is still winter, so through Jan they will stay. Daddy had a very big helper today. The two little ones and me even got a nap in while they took down the tree and the lights. What a Saturday treat! Woke up to a clean house, and a wet boy....he just had to run and play in the rain. Had a fun evening, having three kids help dad and I shop. They were so cute with their jobs, to get the bannanas, or the celery, the Apple Juice....very cute.



I finished my layout for today. I still cannot find my pens, which I just had, I will be on a hunt this week, this page needs some journaling. It is a simple page, as always, but it was fun creating. Alleeda helped, and loved the little jewels.

Scrapbook Day 4


I must must admit this is getting fun, I am actually scrapping more than one page and am accomplishing lots. The kids are excited to see the pics of themselves, and are eager to stick them in their books. Todays was simple, I need to journal I can't find my white or metallic pen...somewhere out there...this pic was taken almost three years ago at "Just Grandma's" he loved searching for leaves on all the stairs outside.
In other news, the kids are good. Nice and WINDY today. CRAZY WIND. The kids have enjoyed watching their balls blow all over the yard, we finally stuck them in the garage. We would hate to loose them over the fence, like the awning, last wind storm. Stay warm and dry! Great buy at Albertsons, Yummy Butterball Turkey for .50 a package, orginally 3.29! Awesome huh?! Miranda you would have been proud :0)

Happy Boy

Daddy and Me
So Cute and Happy
We had to clap over and over
Loved the Car Deborah
He says Little People So Cute!

He had a fun day, not feeling too hot, but still plenty of cheezy smiles! He is officially bigger! Grandpa would be proud of how he would tear the paper, then give it to dad to throw away....trash...he learned a lot at Christmas.

Scrapbook Day 3


These are older pictures, Alleeda was just a baby. I loved both pictures so much I had a hard time deciding to do the B&W or the Color, which inspired me for a fun page.

Day 2 Scrapbook Page


Yesterdays post inspired me to create this quick page for the contest. Here is My Big BOY. I can really get into to just doing one page a day. We shall see if I can stick it out. The kids had fun cutting and using glue and stickers while I made this. Nothing fancy, not if they have to be done before 9pm.

Scrapbook Contest


A few friends and I have entered a scrapbook contest through Big Picture Scrapbooking. In order to complete the contest I have to upload a new page each day for the month of January. Here is day one! I do not care if I win any prize, but the motivation to scrap a page a day, that could establish a great habit. Good luck girls, I am watching your blogs for updates on your work.

Not So Little Anymore
















My little boy is officially not a baby anymore. He has almost potty trained himself, loves to wear his "Big Boy" pants, can undress and dress himself as he pleases and Sunday night showed mom and dad that he can climb to the top bunk without any help....or ladder (which is not even in the room). Thus declaring his freedom as best as he can...."I am not a baby, I am a big boy, HEY I am almost two!"

Thus the New Year was spent taking the bunk bed apart, into two twin beds and rearranging the toys and things in the room to accomodate the change. He may think he is "big" however I am not willing to take him into the ER when he decides he is "big" enough to jump off the top. I much perfer him on the bottom for now. Life is so fun. Hope you all have had a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
