Christmas Day 2007

I am working hard to finish my layouts and complete 2007. The top page will go in each book and then each child will have their page in their book.

Otters Floor Hockey

This is a team picture I made for Justin's Floor Hockey Team. The real version doesn't have blurry names...that is just for the internet :) 6 of the kids are in his kindergarten class and he played soccer last fall with 5 of these kids. Last fall I made a team photo for soccer and gave it to all the players. I think I will print these out as well and hand them out on the last day with the medals that the city provides to all the participants. Gary and 2 dads coached this season.

Play-doh fun

Kyle spends hours playing with Play-doh!!!! It is sooooo messy but we play with it almost everyday. While Kyle is busy being creative with Play-doh he doesn't spend as much time trying to figure out what else to get into!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. Megan had her party at preschool on Wednesday and Justin had his party at school today. As head room mom for Justin's class I am happy to say it was a success and I am relieved it is over. I will now be happy when all the sugary candy is gone.

We added 8 new Webkinzs to our family over Valentine's Day. Megan now owns 3 different ponies, Justin has 2 frogs and a hippo and Kyle has a new St. Bernard named Bernie and a penguin named Yogi...he named Yogi all by himself and since he has never watched Yogi Bear I don't know where he came up with the name.

The photos show Kyle dancing away in our living room and some shots of Megan's new haircut.

Take care!!

Christmas Eve

One of the joys of digital scrap booking is the ability to duplicate a page and change just any part you choose. I was able to individualize the second page (one for each child). So for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th layouts you will see they look much the same except for the main photo on the top left. These were all taken Christmas Eve. Now I just need to finish my Christmas Day pictures and 2007 will be completely scrapped. Now if I can just keep up again in 2008 and finish 2005 & 2006 I would be completely caught up :) Probably won't happen this year, but they are good goals!!

We are having kind of a miserable weekend. It started Thursday afternoon when I realized Justin was running a fever and really crabby ( I noticed this after having sent him to AM Kindergarten...but really I had no idea he was sick that morning!). Anyway through the course of the weekend we have all ended up with fevers, coughs, chills, aches and some mild upset stomach issues. YUCK!!!! Justin said it felt like a cannon was going off in his head and now that I have the bug, I have to agree with him! Hopefully, in a couple more days it will have all passed. Hope you all are having a better weekend than we are.

Which one do you like best of Megan??

Our annual Christmas Eve family photo

Which do you like better, the top one (black) or the 2nd one of Megan (lavendar)??

Kyle at gymnastics. His favorite part of every session was the time spent jumping in the foam block pit!!

Hockey and kid photos layouts

I used the same template, but different pictures and scrapkits for these pages. The hockey photos have been posted before, but this is the first time for the kids pictures. I have beent trying to get a great shot of all 3 kids. It is not easy to do. I am still working on it. Notice they do not like to sit still for any length of time. The only reason they are all even looking at me is Gary is in the background with a stuffed animal making funny noises and every once in a while it bounces on my head. The kids think it is hilarious :)
