Zachary - Ct layout

This adorable little guy is the son of one of my dearest friends. We were at her older sons birthday party and Zachary was sitting in his stroller. His mom and Grandma were busy with all the festivities and I glanced over to find this guy crashed out in the midst of all the party chaos. I had to snap a picture and it went perfectly with this kit I downloaded for my Creative Team over at Digiscrapshak.

We've got the pox!

There has been an outbreak of chicken pox at Alorah's school and all the kids that have gotten it had previously been immunized. So I knew it was just a matter of time before Alorah got the pox. Sure enough she had a couple spots last night along with a stomach ache and just generally not feeling well. This morning they had spread all over her abdomen, face, neck, etc. WE'VE GOT THE POX! I can't stop itching just thinking about it.

This means no school for at least a week, no softball clinic on Saturday, no first practice on Monday, and on and on and on!!!! Also, it's just a matter of time before the others get it . . . insert MOAN here! Why do we even get the immunization anyway????

She won't let me take a picture of her with the chicken pox. She says she doesn't want it on my blog for the whole world to see her with spots on her face. I tried to explain that the whole world doesn't look at my blog, but that didn't seem like a rational argument to her. So because I can't do a post without a picture I'll put on up of her in prettier times.

Good Friends LO

Call me crazy, but I think it’s hard to find a family where the husbands get along, the wives get along and the kids ALL love each other. The Stewarts ore one of those rare finds. Jen and I initially became friends during my first bout at MOPS, we just had a lot in common, our ages, the amount of time we’d been married, our boys being born on the exact day and SCRAPBOOKING. Our relationship was cemented when the boys met each other and became fast friends. We were preschool moms together, had another set of babies together, we’ve done small group studies together and life has evolved. The guys started hangin and having a good time together. Jen and Chris have started an amazing photography business, and I’ve turned scrapbooking into a full time hobby. almost 5 years later we’re so glad to have found them

Sometimes you are more boy than I can handle. Whew, you wear me out and i just don’t know what to do with you. You see I’m all girl and you’re all boy, so I’m just clueless. You’re up, down, all around going, goin, going . . . gone! But you’re fun to watch with your boundless energy and crazy ideas . . . like swinging from my drapes! It may not be funny at the time, and I certainly can’t tell you it’s funny until you’re older . . . but you do amuse me buddy. You are my precious son, and thank God for Daddys!

Tour of California

My husband is a HUGE fan of cycling. Did I say HUGE!!! So this is an exciting week for him. The first big race of the cycling season is the tour of California. Sorry babe, I'm not sure how many days are in the race ~ 7??? They start up here in Northern Cal and race down to Southern Cal. But the exciting part for Hubby (who watches every stage intently each night) is the second day. They start in Santa Rosa and race into our neck of the woods. The finish line is in downtown Sacramento and hubby was there waiting as the racers crossed it. Here are a couple pictures he got. The first one is of the Pelaton (sp?) coming toward him, and the second shows the speed they're going as they pass him.

A simple valentines

Valentines was a simple affair at our house on Thursday. We don't typically make a HUGE deal out of valentines, we just do a little something special as a family. Our special thing this year was to have pink heart shaped pancakes for dinner. Unfortunately I don't have the mad pancake skills and I couldn't make hearts, much to the children's disappointment. But we all had a great time mixing up the batter together and adding in the food coloring. We just had a nice relaxing evening together, loving on one another.
