A day at the Lake

These pictures are from our annual trip up to Lake Geneva Wisconsin. We go up with my cousins and their kids and we hang out on the beach all day. It is something that I look forward to every year. I have to say a HUGE thank you to Celina who made me a bunch of crocheted flowers. I used one of the pretty blue and white ones that she made for me.

Easter 2009

I have a goal to finish scrapbooking all of my 2009 photos before May when the baby is due. I still have a lot left to do but yesterday I managed to get 6 layouts done with the help of my scrapbook etc. magazine. This is a layout from Easter 2009. It was our first Easter in the new house.

Pretty Flowers

I was looking through scrapbooks etc. and I saw this pretty topiary. I tried to make the flowers that they had on theirs but they didn't turn out right. So I tried making the flowers that I ended up using. I love how it turned out. From the time that I started it to when I finished it was about 4 days. It took forever to make those flowers. But I just loved how this turned out. It has made my desk look so pretty when all you see outside is gray.

Fall Fun

This is the kids first time that we lived in a house that has huge trees. Come fall Alex couldn't wait to go out and make a leaf pile to jump in. He worked for days to make a really really big pile(in his words). When he was all done he had Belle and Hannah come outside and have a leaf fight with him. They had so much fun!

How tall this fall???

Almost every year we go apple picking. At the orchard they have a huge apple holding a ruler that says "how tall this fall?" I try and remember to take a photo of each child in front of it to see how much taller they have gotten. Its really fun to go back into the previous years scrapbook and compare pictures.

Birthday Boy

This layout is also based on a layout that I saw in Scrapbooks ETC. I liked the way that they did the title. This was from Alex's 6Th birthday party. He had 17 of his closest friends at the party. It was a blast.
On the LO the blue block was made into a pocket so that I could add a few of the cards that his friends gave to him. I really like this one!!
