Layouts and Pictures

Hello all!  Hopefully I will be back to blogging more often.  We are sort of getting settled.  We have quite a few projects in line for the next few weeks though.  Painting and a garden are two of the biggest!  

I had a handful of layouts I don't think I've shared.  Of course, by now, I have forget the sketch I used.  I'm guessing it is on my Pinterest board somewhere.  

I just love the fun papers, banners and journaling spots as well as colors in this Pretty Little Studio line.  Just perfect for birthdays.  See the bottom picture?  That is Chris's cousins daughter.  Her and Maddy look like they are sisters!  

I REALLY wish I would have been as smart as Karen and take a screen shot, but alas, I'm not.   Karen and I met on a scrappy board and had been e-mailing for each other for quite some time.  This was our first time Skyping.  

Below is a layout I made of my sister-in-law's bachelorette party!  It was the first time I had been out without Chris or the kids in quite some time!  We hit Downtown Portland a few nights before the wedding.

Now on to some photos.  We bought Peyton a bed set.  Poor kid had his mattresses on the floor!  Chris was putting it together and wouldn't ya know it....Jenabelle wanted to help!  Can you see her in his lap under his arm?  haha!  Love that little pups!

She likes to walk in the window sills for some reason.

Maddy and Peyton are sure taken with her and often ask if they can hold her and snuggle with her.

We celebrated Peyton's birthday two weekends ago.  It was fun to have all the family over to our new house.  Peyton was spoiled and enjoyed his day. He wore that hat all day long!

Peyton started soccer. Maddy was quite disappointed she couldn't play, but she isn't quite old enough.  But if you ask me, she could have easily played with all the kindergartners   She is just as big as them and not afraid to jump into a group and do something.

And the spoiled pups.  This has become a nightly activity.  She pesters you til you hold her.

Argh....I uploaded the last two photos just like I did the others.  Why are they showing up so big?
