Hello Berries

I had plans of working on other photos today but while scrolling through June 2010, I came across these and decided to scrap them instead! So summery!

The photos I was going to scrap was of Leah's 3rd or 4th birthday. Yes, I'm that far behind. And guess what? She'll be five in a couple weeks. So my goal is to get her last two birthdays scrapped before she turns five.

And then Titus is even worse. I think I'm three or four years behind on his birthdays! It's crazy! This is why I'm so thankful for my blog. So many times (if it's not recent photos) I go back to my blog to refresh my memory on events. It's helped a ton!

I think with birthday scrap pages, I "stress out" too much and think that the pages have to be perfect and I have to have the perfect papers and elements, etc. So that's why those pages get pushed back. But I am making a goal to get Leah's caught up by her fifth birthday. And then I will work on Titus's - the poor kid.

You Said It 2011

I'm super bummed that I only have nine documented "sayings" from Titus in 2011. Of course he said funny stuff all year long, but I forgot to write it down. Other moms out there, make sure you write things down right after something happens or is said. You'll be thankful later. :) So now I'm trying to be more observant and have asked Brandon to write things down when he hears them too.

You Said It

I have been working on getting all of the kids quotes gathered and separated into years. I haven't been as good lately with writing things down, so I'm trying to focus more on that. I even searched through Facebook to find any possible quotes I did have not have written down. I found a few so I was thankful for that!

I love looking back at what they said and how they said it. I also like adding a few pictures of them from that year. It's a fun little project!

Birthday, page 3

Birthday page number three!

Now I'm headed out for a walk while the sun is still out!

Birthday, page 2

This is the second page in my birthday trio. I created this probably a couple of weeks ago but had just a little more journal to write.

Now on to page 3...

I wonder what will happen when I turn 30. I just have a hard time not including pictures. As my style has always shown, I try to squeeze in as many pictures as possible. That's just me!

Birthday

I have been wanting to get back into scrapping so bad. I was doing good and getting a few pages done per week and then somehow fell off that wagon. But I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things.

I had been looking around for some new kits but just hadn't found what I was looking for. I don't really know what I was looking for, I just know I wasn't finding it. Then I came across The Lily Pad and found this kit called Grandma's Dresser. I loved it! Right away I knew I wanted to use it for my birthday pictures.

This is the first page of probably three from my birthday. Instead of cramming in a bunch of pictures, I decided to spread it out a little.
