Scrap Booking Challenge

A few of my friends put together another scrap booking challenge for the month of August and September. The challenge is 31 layouts and a mini book. It’s just what I needed to motivate me to get some of these things done before the baby comes.

Here is what I have so far - 17 layouts and a mini book. So the mini book isn’t quit done, but everything that’s left on it is easy and should take no time at all. Now I just need to get working on a lot more layouts, but I am halfway done and September hasn’t even started. I’m feeling pretty good about this challenge - so thanks to Janet and Nicole for coming up with it!

Alex’s First Day of Preschool

Today was Ally’s first day of 4-yr old preschool and she was so excited. She goes from noon-2:30 p.m., but she could hardly wait this morning - at 9:30 she was already asking if we could go. I tried to explain to her that we would go after she had lunch, but she was so ready to go, that was tough for her.


When we finally got there she was so eager to show her new teacher, Miss Sara, all her school supplies that she brought to share - it was really cute.


I had another ultrasound so Ryan picked her up today and she told him that she had a really fun time, but that one of the boys in her class was hitting her leg and that made it hard for her to listen to the teacher sometimes. Some of the kids in her class are the same, but Ryan said it seems like she’s made some new friends too and she is of course excited to go back next week. Hopefully it will be a really fun year for her.

Birthday Party :: Cars, Cars And More Cars

We had a little get together with the grandparents for Connor’s birthday. It was a lot of fun, but the best part was seeing how much he loved his presents. You could say there was a them to his gifts - Cars wow did he love them. Right now he is really into the movie Cars and he loves Lightning McQueen and so that is what he got from everyone. It was so cute he would just lay down on the floor and play with them and even went to bed with them he loved them so much.

Connor is such a sweet little boy. I could never say enough about how sweet and loveable he is. He may be quite or seem to be a pretty sober little guy, but he truly is an amazing little boy with so much love and he’s always pretty happy.

We love you so much Connor and love watching you grow up, just don’t grow up too fast.

Happy Birthday Big Boy!

I can’t believe Connor is two today. Just after 1:20 p.m. on August 19, 2006 Connor was born into our family and the rest is history. He has always been a very mild and somewhat easy baby and toddler. Sure lately he has been pulling some terrible two’s tantrums, but for the most part I can’t really complain. He's a sweet little boy!

After his first bath...




Just a few hours old...

Baby Bump at 31 Weeks

By the request of a friend that I haven’t seen in a while (Janet) and a Dad that I haven’t seen since Christmas here it is, big and white. I can’t believe I still have what 9 more weeks. This pregnancy is taking forever. The last few days Ryan keeps asking me if I’m going to make it. To tell you the truth I don’t know. I feel like this pregnancy has been a lot harder on my body then the other two, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. We are all getting very excited to have another sweet little spirit in our home.
