2011 Vacation Scrapbook Update

Just to be funny, I'm posting today, that the 2011 Vacation Scrapbook that I posted about in April, has not changed one bit since that day. We still have not started creating this book!!

Project Life - Locks of Love

During Week 16 of the year (I know that because it's in week 16 of my Project Life book!), Madison and Morgan got their hair cut and donated it to Locks of Love. They've been wanting to do it for such a long time and we just decided to finally get it done. Because there were so many pics, I made an whole layout in Project Life, dedicated to this one event.


Project Life : Week 16 : Supplimental
Haircuts and Locks of Love!! Madison's page shows a before and after of her hair and a picture of her ponytail.

Morgan's before picture was taken in the chair, with the cape already around her neck!

Both girls look gorgeous with their new haircuts and I am super proud of them for donating to Locks of Love!

For more information on donating your hair, visit Locks of Love.

Project Life Week 15 - 16

My Project Life is coming along great. I've got everything caught up for now and continue to pass along some pics of how it's going.


Project Life : Week 15
This week brings us Easter! The kids love hunting for eggs of course!


We took a new family picture of ourselves.


And we got a new dining room table. It's big, but soooo beautiful!


Project Life : Week 16
This week Morgan and Connor helped me make a desert for Grandma Ginny and Madison and Ryan received Angel Awards at school.


Ryan participated in the Young Author's Conference at Northrup High School, and met author April Pulley Sayre. Pretty cool!

Project Life Week 13 - 14

Project Life : Week 13
Items of interest this week...Zach sat in a "big boy" carseat for the first time (oops, just realized I didn't get that picture in the shot!) and Connor got a new chore, unloading the silverware (which he does very well!).



Madison and Ryan had Western Day at school. Fun!




Project Life : Week 14
This week...
Zach turned 10 months old and Ryan lost a tooth.


We colored Easter eggs

Zachary's First Birthday!!

As promised, here are the pics of Zachary's first birthday. As with all birthdays in our house, we have pizza with grandma and grandpa, and then cake and icecream. For 1st birthdays, the birthday baby always gets a Smash Cake!


Having a snack before dinner...cuz he was just too hungry to wait!

The excitement is killing me!

Mommy keeps telling everyone that this is my Smash Cake...I wonder what that means??

Oh look at the pretty light...and everyone's singing!!

Umm, YUMMY!!

Oh I think I understand Smash Cake now!!

Oh I am sooooo bloated!!

Happy Birthday my sweet baby Zach!!!

Look Who's One!! Banner

So Zachary, my baby, turned 1 on June 2nd (I'll post pics of that later!), and I made a homemade banner for him, because that's what I do!! So here are some pics of the process for that!


Checking things out...


Making sure all colors look good where they are.


Just about ready to punch holes and string it together.


Punching and stringing is finished, now I just need to add some decorative ribbon and it will be done!


And the finished product! I love it!!
