A few random thoughts...

• Will I ever be able to get a sleep through the night good night sleep again? Even though Kyle is a good sleeper I am still exhausted.
• Why couldn't my kids take a nap at the same time today? I was trying so hard to get Kyle to sleep, then once Sofie woke up he went down. UGH
• I am looking forward to Conference this weekend and having Nathan home for the whole weekend. (excluding priesthood session, of course)
• Will my child ever be potty trained?
• I NEED A NAP!
  
• What do I make for dinner?
• I need to fold the kids clothes.
• Can I quit for one day, then start again tomorrow?

I am sure this is most of you mothers out there, but I just needed to complain for a minute.

Sofie and markers

I wish I could say that I was doing something productive like making dinner or feeding Kyle while this happened but I wasn't. I was scrapbooking and not paying attention to my child and this is what happens. She saw these markers yesterday in my church bag and really wanted to use them, so I put them away in my room but I guess they weren't hidden enough. It is really hard to be upset when you take their picture and they think they are the greatest thing ever.Notice her proud smile.

Kyle's blessing day

We were able to bless Kyle this last Sunday, which just happened to be Nathan's birthday and the anniversary of out engagement 6 years ago. Our Families were able to be with us with the exception of a few that we missed very much. It was fun to be able to get together and see family that we haven't seen in a while. Kyle did great during the blessing, and all day long for that matter. Here are some of the great pictures that we were able to get.


My Mom made Kyle's blessing suit.

She also brought Sofie and new princess dress.
The Clark Family (Kingston the Koala is in there for Auntie Em)

The Rock's and their Grandkids.

Nathan and His Family.

new pages

I just bought this kit and was able to finish these two pages for the kids.

Disney On Ice & the Children's museum

Last night we were able to go to Disney on Ice. Sofie had a blast, She was shaking with excitement when the characters came out. I wish we could have brought our video camera along, the still pictures do not do her reactions justice. We got to hang out with great friends, some we haven't seen in a while. We would love to take her to Disney Land, we don't know if she would remember it but we sure would remember her excitement and reactions. Thanks for a great time guys!




Yes, Kyle was there too.



Before we went to Disney we went to the Children's museum. We bought a pass a year ago and Sofie never really got into it. This time she had so much fun. She was running from thing to thing so fast I could barely keep track of her. It was nice to not feel like I had to keep my eye on her all the time. I was still watching her but she could go and find little people to play with and I knew she would be o.k. Now the the dilemma, do we renew the membership?

Help Wanted

First, Thank you to Lissel for the idea. I pretty much copied her page.
Second, What do you think? I am asking all you experienced scrappers (and anyone else for that matter) out there for your opinion. I am wondering is it too much, too little, just right? What would you add and where? Please let me know, I would appreciate all the help you want to offer.

(I personally am so thrilled with myself that I was able to figure this out. Sometimes people will tell you things and you forget. That's what happened with a lot of techniques on this page, but I sat down and figured it out.)

I love digital!!!

I love the fact that if you mess up you haven't wasted anything but your time. I am still figuring it all out, but it's so fun even doing that. Thanks for the program Dad and Mom!!

Tired little monkey...take 2

This is how Sofie fell asleep for her nap today.

Kyle

I was looking through my pictures and saw this one. Too cute.
Kyle is getting to be such a big kid. I had to take him to the doctor the other day and he was at 14.6 lbs. He had his onesie on and the Dr. said that would add weight from the last dr. visit. Not like it would be that much and besides I carry him around in his clothes, so that's how much weight I am lugging around. He is getting so talkative and very smiley. He is such a good baby, sleeps so well and is hardly ever fussy. We love this little guy so much.

One tired little monkey

This is how Sofie fell asleep tonight, I'm glad I had already gotten her ready for bed. This is definitely a first for this little girl. I would say she was really tired.
