First Signs of Spring

We were finally able to spend a little time outside a while ago! The winter seemed to be over (although 2 days ago we woke up to SNOW!!! AH!) so we let the kids run around in the back for a while. They had a blast!

Yes, Matthew is feeding Noah lunch.
How cute is that!?

Ah, what a good big brother!

Long, Long Ago...

We went to Disneyland for Matthew's 3rd birthday, way back in 2004.  Have I done anything with the pictures yet?  Umm.....  No.  Until now!  Britt just came out with a new "Disneyesque" kit that is amazing, so I dug out some of these old pictures to work with...  I'm not done yet, it's going to be a 2 page layout, but I thought I'd post it now to show off her fantabulous new kit! :)

You can check out the kit here...

The Canyon

The boys and I decided to take a drive up the canyon last month to see whether or not the waterfall was frozen. It's had been SOOO cold that of course it was. It was beautiful! And because Ben was working and wasn't going to be home for an hour or so, we kept going up the canyon to check out Deer Creek. I have never seen it completely frozen and covered with snow before. It was stunning! The sun was shining perfectly and I couldn't help but stop to take a picture.

Bridal Veil Falls - Icy, eh?!

If you didn't know this was a lake, wouldn't you think it was
a great big field of snow!? I'm so glad we drove up to see it!

And yes, that is a wild moose. It was trying to reach food
on the other side of the fence. Matthew and I were pretty
excited to see it. First wild moose I've ever seen! :)

On the way home we stopped by Sundance and
found this buried stop sign. Wow!

This is my favorite photo... Ahhh.

Curls Anyone?

This one is especially for Grandma Texas.  She's been asking for us to post pictures of Noah's curls, so this is what I came up with.  I don't know if you know this, but curls are really hard to photograph on a moving baby!!  This is from a couple of months ago, and if you can imagine, his hair is even longer and more curly now! :)  Although, the time is rapidly approaching for us to cut those lovely locks...  A little old man thought he was the cutest little girl!  As if!!! :)

Laundry Anyone?

I am extremely relieved to say that the laundry is not only done, but it's actually all put away. Yee haw!! Finally! However, there was a point at which my sweet baby's room looked like this. Can you see children? No? Well they are there, having buried themselves within the black hole that was the laundry pile. Luckily, I was able to grab them just before they were sucked into oblivion. They are doing fine now and healing quickly! :)

Cool Kids!

How cool is it that I get to be home to take pictures of my kids doing the funniest things? Way cool! Ok, so a couple of weeks ago, the first week I was officially a SAHM, Isaac decided that he would build a fort. My boys LOVE building forts... but most little boys do! Well, Matthew was at school and not around the help lug the big couch cushions around, so Isaac made do on his own! As you can see, he did ok!

He took great pride in arranging that pillow just so, helping Noah in and covering them both with that blanket! I couldn't resist snapping a shot of them. Oh, I'm loving this!! Now, if they had only fallen asleep, this would have been the best fort ever created by man, woman or child. Oh well, they had a blast!

Ok, so basically he just pushed the seat cushion

onto the floor, but it served as a "wall," so
I deem this an official fort! Way to go, buddy!!

It's been too long!

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post! I thought I would have all this extra time to get things organized and projects done and spare time to blog and scrap, but it appears I'm more busy than ever! I can't believe that giving up a full time job outside the home would be replaced by more than a full time job INSIDE the home! I guess what everyone told me was true, you really don't have extra time at all!

Anyhoo, on to better things. I just finished some layouts that I wanted to share. The first is using Britt's newest kit, "Dreams Do Come True." It's definitely my favorite kit of hers so far. It's AMAZING! And if you check out her blog (link to the right), you'll find an A-MA-ZING freebie that coordinates with it! Be SURE to check it out!



Next is a layout for a Challenge I'm hosting at scrapmatters.com. (You should come by and check it out... Play along and you could win FREE stuff!!! SWEET!) Anyway, for the challenge you have to include 2 memorabilia items that AREN'T photos, and 1 photo. This is what I came up with. It's Josh and Britt's first date (we got to double with them.) TOTALLY fun night!



And last, but not least, here are a few photos of my ever growing boys. Aren't they SO cute!? Ok, so maybe I'm a little biased, but STILL! These are from our recent trip to the dinosaur museum. They had a BLAST!

Here is Noah eating a chicken nugget. Very interesting, I'm sure, but it's one of the best of him at the museum. Sad!

This is Matthew and Isaac playing in one of the exhibits.
The kids get to "build" sand banks to bury the dinos.
They have water constantly flowing as well so the banks "erode"
to show the dinos and then they can dig them up.

Yes, it's true. Isaac has tamed that savage beast!

And finally, Matthew narrowly escaping the gaping jaws of
the world's largest shark! It was a close one, but everyone
seem to be doing fine!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
