last Easter batch

A few of them

A handful of Easter pics... I'm having problems with the slide show site I usually use. So a few at a time will have to do! :)

on the way...

Check back throughout this week for Easter weekend pictures - I have a whole memory card full :) I know your excited, but you'll have to wait just a bit. In the meantime I wasted a lot of time making a new banner, what do you think? I think someone asked once where I got the 'materials' for my header - I use the freebie packs from this site. Check it out, they rock.

Uh Oh

This is just the most precious little 'Uh Oh' and I've been dying to share it but haven't managed to get it captured onto video until today :) Enjoy!! Sorry it's sideways, just plain didn't take the time to figure out how to turn it right side up. (ok, so I had to post two.... couldn't help myself! AND I muted the music for a bit... if your trying to watch this and the music is still playing, scroll clear to the bottom and hit the triangle play button twice)

a quote for today

I love a good quote. I'm not a quote junkie, but when I see one I love, I want to tell it to everyone. So here's my new favorite (you can bet it will end up on a scrapbook page SOON), found it last week:

'When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say "I used everything you gave me".'

new FRIEND

I have been watching some friends kids for a few days over the past week, 6 wk old Logan and 2 1/2 yr old Hayden. Juggeling Jake and a 6 wk old is a bit tricky :) But Emma has found a great new friend in Hayden and she has really enjoyed having someone her age around the house to play with. Couldn't pass up posting this absolutely adorable picture of the two watching a movie yesterday.

On the {GO GO}

Where HAS the time gone? From rolling to crawling to trying to stand... this little man wants to do it all in a very short period of time! Over night he learned to army crawl, and is working hard to perfect the regular crawl...

having fun balancing on hands and tippy toes is his new favorite...and of course there is that famous precious 'Jake smile' the lights up the room...
This precious boy melts my heart. He is on the {GO} and loving all of this new freedom it is bringing, such as finding shoes left in the entry way to chew on, random cheerios that have found a home on the carpet, and even pulled a few of mommy's magazines off the couch and ripped them to shreds.

Little stinker, I love you!

Welcome little Ava!

My beautiful little niece was born last night around 9:40pm.
We are SOO happy she is here! Can't WAIT to go see her! Congrats Matt and Elizabeth! We love you guys! What a beautiful combination of the two of you - but I think she mostly looks like mommy right now : ) I can't WAIT to spoil her rotten!

Caught the bug

I've always had good intentions to scrap, and I have a little - but now I've caught the bug. Everynight I'm itching to sit down and do a page. I finished two last night, yay! Here is what I have done recently... (to get a decent picture I put them on my magent board, so that's what those big black globs are :) magnets!)

'Best Friends (emma and puck)' 12x12
