I thought you made

a great Batman!

New Bikes

I don't know if anyone ever reads this blog anymore, I mean it has been like 6 months since I scrapbooked. But I decided I wanted to start recording the events of this year (last year will probably only have 10 pages, and rather than feel guilty about not doing last years, then trying to play catch-up, I thought I would just start with current ones).

I scrapped a page of our new bikes:

Kit is: Button Nose by JadeDay Studio

Don't Kiss me Anymore Mom

Here is the page of Xander not letting me kiss him at night. Sigh. So sad.

Kit is called "Circle Yes or No" by Valerie N Designs

Journaling Says:

You have decided that

Mom can no longer

give you kisses at

night. “Don’t kiss me

anymore Mom!” you

proclaim at bedtime.

However, you still have

me kiss your Mickey,

Goofy, Pluto, Jiminy,

and Buzz Action Figure.

It makes me sad that

you are only 3 1/2 and

you already don’t want

kisses from your mom

at bedtime.

Sweet... AWESOME... Cute...

A quick layout of one of the only pictures I got of our trip to Boise in February.

Journaling says:

took a small vacation up to Boise.

We had a lot of fun playing with

our cousins.  Thanks for having us

Sunbeams

Layout I made of Xander's first day of Sunbeams:

Journaling says:

My first day

of Sunbeams

was great!  I

loved singing

songs and I

got to be in 

the same 

class as Paul.

I love this picture of Xander.  It is one of the VERY rare ones where he is actually smiling.

So cute - Sisters

Christmas 2008

Layout of our Christmas Pictures

Christmas Eve

A Scrapbook Page of Christmas Eve

Journaling says:

December 24, 2008

We Spent the day at Grandma's house.  It

was so much fun.  Xander loved playing

with his cousins.  We had our traditional

soup bowls for Christmas dinner, and like

always they were delicous.

For our gift exchange we had Emily's

name.  We got her some movies, and a 

few random books.  Mom had our name

and she gave us a crockpot.

And of course Grandma always gives the

grandkids pajamas.  Thanks Grandma!

Gingerbread Party

Here is a layout I did for our Gingerbread House Party.

Journaling says:

This years

Gingerbread House Party

had our largest turnout yet.  We had

so many entries, It was a lot of fun.  But

with more people it made it so I didn’t get

a chance to do one.  Most of our friends,

family, and neighbors came.

Fun times were had

by all!

Christmas Decorations 2008

Pictures from my Christmas Decorations of this last year.

Where did Xander go?

I finished this scrapbook page.  This picture is one of my FAVORITE of Xander.  I think it TOTALLY captures the essence of his favorite things to do, and it is an actual smile, not a "CHEEESE".

Journaling says:

I was trying to get something done on my computer, when the house got really quiet.  And any mom knows, that is not a good sign.  I went searching for you, and I couldn’t find you anywhere.  Until I heard a laugh from your room.  And here you were, under your bed, playing the DS.

Thanksgiving 2008

Here is the layout I did for our Thanksgiving adventures in St. George.

Journaling says:

For Thanksgiving we went to St. George to celebrate Grandpa Nathan Riley Plumb’s 80th birthday. Once again ALL of Jared’s family was able to be there. So we did our family gift exchange at the same time, as well as another big family picture. We were able to share a hotel with Ang and Ryan. Xander LOVED having his cousins to play with. And the pool. He thought it was the best. It was a fun weekend. Happy Birthday Grandpa Plumb!!! We also found out that dear Bradley and his girlfriend are expecting their first child. (She is 16). We wish them the best of luck.

The Spears

I am back from my scrapping hiatus.  Here is the latest layout.  It is one from right before Thanksgiving when the Spears came and stayed.

Journaling Says:

Our cousins came to visit us on their way to St. George for Thanksgiving.

We had fun reading “The Night Before Thanksgiving”, playing in the castle,

and car pooling to St. George.  They sure are fun.  We are so lucky to have

them around.  Kathleen and I were even able to get a toothless photo.

Credits are listed in my scrapbook gallery.  For a complete list of items used click the link posted on the right.

you went and joined in the fun.

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.
