New Scrapbook Pages

Okay, nothing super exciting here. Christmas was wonderful, and we can hardly believe that 2008 is arriving in about 48 hours! It came so fast, and I am sure it will fly by as 2007 did. I have recently done a few more scrapbooking pages, and thought I would post them. I realized that if you click on the page, it becomes very big, and you can read what I journaled on them. So, I will not do any extra typing (lazy...I know), and hope that you enjoy looking at the pages.

Have a Happy New Year's Eve everybody. I will be here enjoying a fondue party with my family and friends!

Thanksgiving 2007

My family spent this Thanksgiving in Michigan. It was a wonderful trip. The girls could not believe that there was so much room! We stayed with my brother, and his home is on 5 acres...at least. Bailey loved to run far away whenever we tried to put her in the car. (Okay, I'll be honest, she only played that game with Nate. She probably knew that mom was too lazy to run after her!) She also learned all about deer, and how they hang from my family's front tree. I knew it was time to come home when she started learning some other new and exciting things. Like when I pulled up to my parent's home, and I asked her "Bailey, did you see grandpa in the window?". And her reply was "Holy Craps!" Yeah...nice! Just what I want my 3 year old shouting out at her ballet recital! I'll blame that on one of my brothers. I learned a little bit on this trip also. Like how you need to work out before Thanksgiving, so that the next morning (at 4 a.m.!) you can run to the doors of Kohl's. I did not run, but I watched people do it. It was hilarious. And mom mom and sisters kept up with the best of them. Can't wait for next year.Seriously though, this was a great trip. Spending so much time with family without something like a wedding or graduation going on was refreshing. My family is amazing, I wouldn't...and couldn't...trade them for anything in the world. Hope you enjoy the video, I smile everytime I watch it.

Halloween 2007

Well, I finished my next scrapbook page, Halloween. I noticed with my last page that the writing on the actual page did not show up, so I will fill you in completely this time. Bailey was a ballerina/fairy/sleeping beauty for Halloween this year. As the night moved on, so did her costume. She added a wand, a tiara, and I am pretty sure a cape. She is creative!

Brinlee was a Carebear. We love that costume so much! It was so cute to watch Brinlee walk around, because from behind she really did look like a little bear. She loved the candy, especially the chocolate!

The girls loved dressing up, but the actual "trick-or-treating" part just didn't suit them. We went to Nate's work, and to Nate's Aunt Sue's home, and then we were done. We planned on going out and doing the neighborhood, but Bailey said "I'm done" when the suggestion was made. We will see if as she gets older if her ambition changes! Nate and I sure had fun though. I enjoy so much being a mother, and times like Halloween are some of the funnest parts to the job!

Pumpkins

I know it is December, but I am going to post in order. After September, and family pictures, came the pumpkin painting. Hopefully you can read the little blurb in the bottom left corner of the page, it explains it, and I won't be repeatative! I sure do love being a mother of two, and being able to have two completely different attitudes at the same time.
