More Layouts

These pictures are from Brady's 2nd Birthday, I again used a Studio Calico kit. (Still have no idea what month it was from)

This layout was made with a Studio Calico kit. I have no idea what month it was from because I have a large collection of kits which I have yet to touch. I love using them when I don't want to have to think. I can just grab a bag and my trimmer and be on my way. Nice and simple just the way I need things to be from time to time. Love this picture...it was maternity pictures that I had taken when I was prego with Brady.

Here are some pictures from Manza's Family Farm. This was before the cold hit here in NY.

Finally a New Post....and a new life!

Well it has been such a long time since I have posted anything, life has gotten in the way again. So much has changed since I've blogged. We are back to NY, "home"! I am still trying to get used to being back and I miss SC weather so badly. I am a southern girl at heart although I never mastered the y'all thing.

Well here we are back in NY, we stayed with my mom for about 6 weeks and finally 2 weeks ago we just got our own place. We are settling in and trying to get organized. Justin started a new school when we got here which had me scared out of my mind. He did great and is getting adjusted pretty quickly. He did break his wrist on the playground after being there for only 2 weeks. He just got his cast off after having it on for 3 weeks. Kids heal quickly, so I was told.

That is 2 broken bones and 5 stitches so far. Lets hope that is going to be it for awhile.

Thanksgiving came and went so quickly. We spent the day with my sister and now its on to Christmas. Justin is besides himself with excitement. Tink our Christmas elf made his arrival this week and I am hoping that the little people in my household take note and are on their best behavior. Oh the things we do to our kids.

Here are a few fall pics to check out because it seems as if I missed an entire season. I am trying to redo my blog a bit because I want to focus on family as well as my scrappin'!

1st Grade

I can not believe that Justin is in the 1st grade! While I was driving to school to pick him up on the first day I vividly remember Kindergarten like it was yesterday... I know it was just last year but I feel like time is flying. I want to remember as much as I possibly can which is why I am a memory keeper. The reason for this blog and the reason I scrapbook are all things I do to try to remember everything I can about my kids childhood. I also do it for them...I want them to know that the things they did in life mattered even when the were only 6. So this is Justin's 1st grade photo. New school supplies, now back pack, new clothes and new sneakers and one happy kid.

Brady at 18 Months

My intention was to do a post on a monthly basis about Brady and all of his new "tricks", but that obviously did not happen so I am going to start now at 18 months and try my best.
What is this little dude up to?
-He will eat anything you but in front of him (today he ate refried beans and rice).
-He is into everything except the things that are meant for him.
-He loves the Ipad and he can actually work it.
-He loves Barney and Elmo.
-He loves music and he can really dance good. He gets that from me. Ha Ha
-He loves to be outside and if I open the front door he will take off.
-I almost don't want to say it, but he is a great sleeper. I put him in his crib wide awake and he goes off to sleep.
-He loves to scream and run around when I put the vacuum cleaner on. Its quite funny.
-He still has those crazy toes.
-He is a great baby or I guess he is a toddler and I am lucky he is mine.

Skater Boy

Justin so desperatly wants to learn how to skateboard and he tries his best and he keeps working at it, no matter how many times he falls. He gets back up and tries again. I just may have the next Tony Hawk on my hands. I know that what ever he tries he will be able to accomplish. He is stubborn and thick headed just like his Daddy....ok maybe his Mommy too (but I don't admit that easily).
