Fall Beauty...

I didn't get to take the pictures of the girls for fall that I wanted. You know the pumpkin patch or playing in leaf piles, but I took these today and I must say I'm really happy with the way they turned out.

I even was able to scrapbook (traditional style) tonight some of the pictures I took. I think it turned out well! :) Fall has to be my absolute favorite time of the year! The beautiful colors, the mild weather -- it's just an amazing time and I'm glad I get to portray some of that fall beauty through my girls.

"That looks AWESOME!!!"

You know I think it's great to scrapbook the huge milestones of your kids... birth, baptism, first everythings, etc. However, I think it's more important to scrap the every day events. Today I picked up Little Caesars. Jayden immediately said to me as I got in the car, "That looks AWESOME!" I love it - it makes my heart smile :)

Lately...

I've been doing a lot with volleyball pictures if you haven't noticed on my facebook page. This is the latest creation. I really, really wish I had a printer that could print 12x12's. That'd be awesome! I always thought I was more of a traditional scrapper, but lately I have been doing more things digitally. It's kind of fun creating my own backgrounds, embellishments, etc. and yes, you can take this pic as well ladies :)

It's the little things...

that someone can do to make a difference. Over a month ago, Jayden and I both donated our hair to Locks of Love. I ended up donating 14.5 inches and almost 10 for the bug. She was so proud of her haircut. I hope someday she'll be proud of the reason for it.

Baby stand up...

and take a bow. Sophie is just learning to do so many things right now. She is standing up, clapping, waving, "talking," furniture cruising - just to name a few. Oh yeah...and crawling up stairs. I can't keep up. It seems like every day I come home she is doing something new and I feel like I'm missing out. This little girl is my happy baby - look at that smile. Someday she's gonna break some hearts.

99 Luftballoons (99 red balloons)

You know that German song from the awesome, rockin' world of 80's music - 99 Luftballoons by Nena. Well, I love that song and actually got the idea for this picture I took of my volleyball team from it. Love that song as much as I love this pic!!!

Seriously honey....

c'mon!! So, I know a lot of women out there leave their men "honey do" lists. Well, I certainly don't have to do that with mine. He is always pretty good about helping out around the house...in fact he usually does the laundry about 80% of the time. And while I think this is incredibly wonderful, I do have one itty bitty complaint... Okay, so it's more of a pet peeve. He will do like 20 loads of laundry in a day and not fold ANY of it. This is just a sample of what I have to put up with...the other half of it is folded. Yeah, that's right I said "HALF."
