Some More Scrapbook Pages

These are the scrapbook pages I worked on this weekend... in between finishing my own kits and cleaning up after a sick kiddo.

The girls got letters from Santa (mysteriously postmarked from Albuquerque, NM) this year. Hannah wouldn't let me take her picture, but I got a priceless one of Ainsley.

I have really been trying to exercise and do my yoga & pilates. Ainsley is not only a great cheerleader, but a great partner. She will bend and twist (much more easily than I do) and then fall over and say, "Whew! That was hard work, Momma!"

This is a REALLY old page from when Hannah was actually Ainsley's age. I have tons of old photos to scrap and this set got lucky this week! :) It's hard to believe this little cutie chasing bubbles is the same little cutie that runs around the house screaming when she sees a commercial of the Jonas Brothers... she's a "big fan".

These photos are from earlier this fall. I love these photos! It looks like my girls actually like each other. I think at this point in time, they actually did, which was reassuring after the weekend of fighting. "Mom, she's looking at me again."

These are more old photos that were rescued from the hard drive, scrapped, and then stuck back on the hard drive! :) Valentine's Day 2008.

And the very oldest of the scrapbook pages... one from when Thomas and I were engaged! We had our engagement photos taken on the beach when we were visiting my parents. Man, I miss the beach sometimes.

A cute scrapbook page

I just created a new scrapbook page and thought I would share it. It's been so long since I found a kit that I loved and had to scrap with immediately! AND I even finally scrapped some of my wedding photos... 8 years later!

I love my husband even more now than I did eight years ago. He's a pretty special guy!

December Photos

I have been really bad about posting photos lately, but here are some to tide you over.
***
Hannah went bowling for the first time in her life. She went for a birthday party. She was a bit disappointed that she didn't bowl as well as she does on the Wii, but she had a great time with her friends. She spent more time running and hanging around (literally) than she did bowling.

***
We had a family Christmas party at Grandpa & Grandma Cardall's house. The kids put on a Nativity play. Our girls were both shepherds. Then we did a gift exchange and the kids all got matching jammies. Grandma Shelly made the jammie pants for the older kids.

***
We did a LOT of baking this year. I gave the girls each a plate of cookies to decorate so that they could do all the disgusting stuff like lick their frosting spoon without giving germs to the world. Mmmm... those soynut butter cookies look really good right now. I made homemade gingerbread with Ruthie's recipe. It was amazing.

***
We went to temple square. I played around with my new camera and got some amazing photos. You can't really tell how good they are in these photos, but I was really impressed with the quality of photos.

***
These are the dresses that Grandma Ruthie sent the girls for Christmas. LOVED them!

These are our Christmas pictures. Not too great, but that's okay.

And these are actually from last week, but they fit. Ainsley threw a snowball at Hannah and missed by a mile. Hannah threw a giant snowball at Ainsley's face and hit her right-on. Then we built a snowman. The snow wasn't great for building snowmen or even snowballs. But we managed and then Ainsley ate half the snowman eyes... Oreos.

That's it so far. Every day is an adventure with my kids.
