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.

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?
