Poor piper has been really sore with her broken collar bone the last two days and the bruising has really come out. I had just finished torturing her taking her clothes off when she said that she needed hugs from Georgie our cat it was so cute! She is the hugest animal lover I could see when she...

journaling- I know I have said it before, but you really have been a challenge for me. The constant need for attention. The tantrums and sleepless nights have been much more than I ever anticipated. But I have survived and you have flourished. You are bright and clever, incredibly cute and...

could seriously do a whole book on these pictures I just love them I think I will have to do just one more maybe for our family album.. half of them are from before she changed into her swim suit so they didn't match but are some of my favs.. anyways thought this TaylorMade template would be the...

So I have been sitting on this template until I could rescue these pictures from my computer that crashed months ago...my DH FINALLY got around to doing that last night...so, this is the result!! White Paper - Katie Pertiet (designerdigitals) - Cabana White Brown Paper - Leiko Beck Designs...

I really, really am a lucky mama. I'm not sure how many nine year old boys would willingly (somewhat, hehe) pose for their mother. Or take the same shot over and over again until their mother gets her camera settings right. Sometimes it takes a bribe (or two), but I still get what I'm looking...

I just love these brackets by TaylorMade Designs...they totally save those busy pictures!! Journaling: it's not often that you like it but once a year you put up with it because you know what comes with it every once in a while being the center of attention has it's perks...

This is one of my absolute favorite pictures of my DD. I just love the way she looks with the sunlight on her hair. Journaling: you are totally in your element when you are outdoors. you glow in the sunlight and your natural beauty shines through for all to see. you light up everyone around...

Part of the "big finale" of his birthday was a water balloon fight, staged by his cousin. you put my son anywhere near water and he's a happy camper. :) he adored celebrating the end of his party this way. TFL! **off center typing for printing purposes Credits: TaylorMade...

another one of my DH and myself taken by our DS. I'm milking these for all it's worth cause who knows when I'll be able to get the DH in front of the camera again, LOL!! Oh and the "word art" on the top is a loose translation of TaylorMade Designs Corner Me With Words word art into...

Every year on my Ds' birthday, I stay up until the exact minute he was born. Unfortunately for me, it's at 11:59 PM so even though most times I want nothing more than to crawl into bed, I force myself to stay up. This year was no exception. But I'm sooo glad I did!! TFL! Credits: TaylorMade...

Journaling in one heart says You are and you. I love you. and the top heart says-Baby, I want you to always know that I adore you just the way you are. You are so different than Keean was. But you have brought your own flair to my life that cant imagine not knowing. You are rebellious, loud even...

oh yes, my DS has the photography bug! :) I loved this shot that he got of his Papa and his baby cuzzie. I just knew I would have to scrap it! TFL! Journaling:My little mini me. An hour after you got your camera you captured this. A priceless piece of art. Life from your view. It doesn't get...

okay, i don't do resolutions. i just don't. but with all the changes that happened over the past year, i thought i would give it a try. The photos don't really makes sense unless you read the journaling, hehe. Not sure if you can make it out in this small form, but the middle square has a pile...

my DS and his cousins on New Year's Eve (closer to New Year's Morning, lol!). They have such a love hate relationship. They play, they fight, they make-up. :) TFL! Credits: TaylorMade Designs Label Me What You Will Grunge Frames (here at Oscraps!) Sharon Bobis Paper in Earth from her...
