Current Layouts

I just finished several of the kids layouts on Studio J!  I will never give up traditional scrapbooking, that being said...Studio J is quick, easy, and I'm starting to catch up on their books!  

Time goes so quickly!!

I can't believe Kristen is already 5 months...and my little JD is going to Kindergarten...and Eman is starting preschool!!  Where has the time gone?!

Life is busy and exciting!  Kristen is rolling all over the place!  She found her feet on the way to FL in August, and has since been infatuated with pulling on her toes.  She is the best baby...so easy going, sleeps about 10 hours at night, and loves to be loved on by her brothers!

JD is starting Kdg in two days.  I can't believe it!  He had the chance to meet his teacher and check out his room this past Thursday.  I think he's going to love it, although when we got to the door of his classroom he said, "Mommy, I might cry."  I tried to be positive telling him he was going to learn so much and meet new friends, but at the same time I was thinking ME TOO!!  He's getting so big and is such a good helper.  He loves his little sister so much...it's so cute to watch!  He and Ethan are best buds...always playing together.  He is so kind and sweet and silly!

Ethan is growing like a weed!  I think he's shot up a few inches this summer.  He's so smart and loving...he's my cuddlebug.  He loves to sleep in and snuggle in my bed.  It's very sweet.  I am so excited for him to begin Preschool.  He is going to be in the Monkey room...appropriate, huh? :) 


We are back to the grind soon, but I'll try to keep things updated.  Here are a few recent pictures I love. :)

Disney!

We enjoyed a fantastic time at Disney!  We went to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom this trip.  The boys had a blast and loved having Gaga and Papa with us!  Kristen was a great little trooper and loved Disney, too!

We had a great time at the Tiger Game, as you can see!!  The boys loved riding the ferris wheel and running the bases!  It was a hot day and we were all pretty tired, but a wonderful family outing!  Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!
