Just a few scrapbook pages I've done this month...




Lots of fun pages this month...some I can show and some I can't. Here are a few of my faves.


Logan in a big star. A contest layout :)











heather playing on my scraptable. This is using a Becky Fleck sketch created just for www.scrapbookdreamer.com March contest.













A simple, masculine page with logan playing with a tape measure.












One of the few wedding pics I have...I have found this Basic Grey Blush line might be a perfect match to our fall themed wedding. The pinks/teals/oranges are super pretty!














Miss Heather in a wild moment.

Whoops....sorry it's been a while!!


We've had a super busy month of March. First, a big move the middle of February, Dan away from home for days and days attending classes, trainings, and investigations, my daycare business taking off...

So, here are some random, favorite pictures I've taken over the last couple weeks.



Miss Heather and her giggly, girly, grin.















Doug and Linda visited for a few days and helped Dan finish up our deck rails.












I'm a sucker for close cropped, big eye pictures. These baby blues just get me....








Annelise and Amy visited over the weekend as well. Missy P is getting so big...and so very independant!! She is super sweet and super smart, and so much fun to have around!















Heather and Logan are both obsessed with crayons and book-books (notebooks, yanno, like on blues clues :) ) They are both drawing great faces and can tell stories from their drawings. It's very cute...












Logan VS Mom--the nap wars continue. He will finally just crash anywhere, in the middle of doing anything. Poor kid...this time he dozed off in the middle of a grand creation.





Both of the doobers love being outside. Heather insists on wearing a hat 'cause its "indy" and she doesn't like the "ind" in her ears hahaha. She also enjoys power tools, much to her papa's delight.











Logan playing in the dirt that is our backyard.













A guy needs goggles to cut wood, yanno. If you don't have them on, they dust gets in your "eyuez".










One of the few pics I have of Heather actually looking at the camera and smiling...









Logan helping to build the deck railings. He was organizing the screws.
