W.O.W Release Party

Pictures from when Jared went to the World of Warcraft midnight release party.

Journaling Says:

W.O.W. had a midnight release

party for their Wrath of the

Lich King expansion.  At 10 pm

you went and joined in the fun.

Impromptu Party

Pictures from our Impromptu Party

Journaling Says:

Leisa called at 4 pm

to see if we were doing

anything.  By 6 pm we had

a full blown family party.

Mom and Dad, Lu and Wally,

Chatzy, and Crystal all came.

We had delicious Cafe’ Rio Pork.

We played games, visited and

had a great time together.

I love having these impromptu

parties.  We should have more!

Halloween 2008

Picture from Halloween 2008:

Journaling Says:

i asked you what you wanted to be, you said

“Choo-choo Train”.  So i put together some boxes

and covered them in butcher paper and made

you the cutest little choo-choo train this side of

the Mississippi.  

Mom was a toothless hill-billy.  With only one year

when I could have it be authentic, I figured I better

go for it.

Our "Friendly" BBQ

A 2-pager from when we had a BBQ for Emilys "Friend" Spencer.

Journaling Says:

Emily had one of her "friends"

from D.C. coming through town.

Since we are ALWAYS up for a

reason to get together, we thought

it would be fun to have a BBQ

where we got to meet this guy.

Emily as insistent, and even a bit

paranoid, that having a BBQ on his

honor would give him the wrong

idea.  So we called it a "friendly" BBQ.

But we all knew the reason

we got together was to scope

Spencer out.

Mothers Weekend

Pictures from when we went to Rexburg for my Reunion and Mothers Weekend.  It is a two page spread.  Here is the full layout:

Here is Page 1:

Page 1 Journaling has been changed to say:

I had received an invitation to attend a reunion for the AWS Class 

Officers (Associated Womens Students) of Ricks College (now BYU-I).

It was scheduled in conjuction with Mother’s Weekend.  So Jared’s

Mom was in town also.  

       We met at Alyssa’s apartment and played before my reunion.

It was fun to see Lys on her own.  Grandma Lisa and Ashley got there

shortly after we did.  

On Saturday we all got together and went to Outback and the mall.

Here is Page 2 layout:
Page 2 Journaling Says:

Xander and Alyssa share a birthday,

because of this I think they share a

very special bond.

We also brought Grandma her

“Apples to Apples Crown”.

She had left it at our house at

Thanksgiving.  Xander was very

intent wearing it into the house.

And

      Grandma also brought Xander some fun

     toys from his birthday.  He got a Lightning

    McQueen coloring set, and from his

Grandpa he got a set of cars.  Xander

still takes his helicopter to bed with him.

What perfect gifts.   Thanks Alyssa for letting

us come and  join your Mothers Weekend.

First Snow of the Season

Pictures from the first snow of the season:

Journaling Says:

We knew that it was supposed

to snow, but when we woke up

with 4 inches, we were shocked.

All you wanted to do was build

a snowman.  Since it snowed so

early this year we were able to

use fresh flowers on the face,

arms, buttons, and 

for the hair.  It

turned out

perfect.

Cousins

Pictures from when the Spears came to visit.

Three

The Zoo

Pictures from when we (the spears and us) went to the zoo for Xander's birthday.

Journaling says:

We all went to the zoo, and you had

sooo much fun!  We rode the train, 

and saw the ainmals.  It was fun to 

go with our cousins.  You loved having

friends your age to see things with.

It completely changed your perspective.

My Blanket Corner

Layout I made of Xander and his favorite "corner"

Journaling Says:

    When you were about 6 months old you found one corner on your little blanket that had a frayed string.  You were able to grab that string and pull it to your face.  You would rub that string under your nose, in your ear and on your face.  This became your “self-soothing” tool.  

    When you were about 1 you chewed all of your corners to have stray threads for you to tickle your face with.  You couldn’t go to sleep without your “corner” to soothe you.

     Now here you are, almost 3 years old, and you still search for your favorite little thread.  What will we ever do when it wears out?

Lego Star Wars

I am not to fond of this layout.  Suggestions PLEASE!!!

My Flowers 2008

I completed this layout of my flower beds.  It shows the different phases it went through this year (original, new dirt/sprinklers, new flowers/shrubs, fully grown).  

Mario Kart Wii

UPDATE:

I modified this layout,  I noticed it looked EXACTLY like the Choo Choo layout.  But I liked the Choo Choo one the way it was.  So I changed the background and flipped the picture to the other side.   Which one do you like better?  Thoughts???

Page of Xander and I playing Wii.

Riding the Choo Choo

Here is a page I made of when Xander and I took the train downtown.  Thoughts?

Sweet Dreams

Toothless

A special thanks on this one to my friend Joey who gave me the quote for this one.  Although I do appreciate the thought, I really must say, NO ONE looks classy toothless...
