Project Life 2016: Week 30

This was a full, but fun, week! Brandon and I are now teenagers in marriage! ;)

Project Life 2016: Week 29

It's the last week in the 20's for Project Life this year. The year is really zipping by. I'm currently seven - almost eight - weeks behind with this year's spreads, but I'm ok with. I'm hoping to get caught up and then work on 2011. 

Project Life 2016: Week 28 "Family Reunion"

We have been going to the Smith Family Reunion almost every year since Leah was a baby. We missed last year due to Brandon's work schedule. So we wanted to make a point to get up there this year - especially since Christina and her family would be there along with the aunts and others. We had a great time. As I mentioned in the spread, I'm thankful for the rich family history that has been preserved all these years.

Project Life 2016: Week 28

This is the week of Max, our new kitty. The kids just love him. He seems to be a sweet cat.

Project Life 2016: Week 27

Cool, fall days (all the heart eyes ♥♥) are right around the corner, but for now, there are still summer spreads to get caught up on and a few more summer weeks to document.

Project Life 2016: Week 26

Week 26 marks the half way point of the year. I feel like summer has gone by fast. While I enjoy doing more things outside during summer, I am looking forward to the cooler days of fall. It's been one scorcher of a summer.

Project Life 2016: Week 25

I'm loving these summery layouts! And it's fun being able to complete two spreads today. 

I believe I'll always love this project. This week, Titus was asking which scrapbook had the picture of the big bass that he caught. So that's cool that he enjoys referencing that and looking back. It's great!

Project Life 2016: Week 24

This week includes two spreads as we celebrated Leah's 9th birthday! This week also included my dad's birthday which also fell on Father's Day.

One thing I'm pretty bummed about: I accidentally deleted photos from my camera card before putting them on the computer. I can still see the picture in my head but I can't make it come to life. I took some pictures with my big camera the night of Leah's birthday. Most importantly, a family picture with both sets of grandparents. Somehow I thought I already put them on the computer and then proceeded to clear off my card. So use this example for yourself to always check and make sure you've transferred the photos before deleting them from your card.

The birthday spread!

Project Life 2016: Week 23

Summer is in full swing around here with lots of above average days in the upper 80's / low-mid-upper 90's! We are thankful for all of the water fun we've been able to have so far.

Project Life 2016: Week 22

I carved out some time during this day of laundry, cleaning, checking off my to-do list. 

I briefly scrolled through my blog and got a little teary in thankfulness for how truly awesome our life is. So many people around the whole don't get to live like we do. And beyond that, they can't/don't document it. So thinking on all of that makes me feel very thankful. ♥

Project Life 2016: Week 21

Wow, I completed two spreads today! One spread is only of a day trip, but it was our mini family "vacation" in case Brandon's work schedule is crazy this summer (which it's supposed to be). So I wanted to include pictures from that day and not have to skimp because of space. Plus I had a lot of just "normal" weekly pictures that I wanted to include. I'm thankful I get to make that call and that I'm not really limited to how many spreads I can complete in a year. I think this is my first double spread of the year. It normally happens during summer, kids birthdays, and Christmas.

Spread two:

Project Life 2016: Week 20

I was happy spending way too much time putting this page together. ;) I haven't been able to sit down, get distracted (it's a good thing), and complete a spread in quite a while. I am hoping to catch up during our little summer break whenever I can get in some time.

Project Life 2016: Week 19

Despite the pretty pink flowers in the photo below, it SNOWED later in the week. Sunday to be exact. We woke up to quite a bit of snow in the air. And it snowed all day, but it didn't stick. Snow in the middle of May! I didn't take a picture, but took note.

Project Life 2016: Week 18

Lately I haven't been finishing a full spread in one sitting. It's been taking a couple of days. One day I get the pictures and maybe some paper in place and the next day I work on it, I finish it. I'm hoping during the summer months of easier days, I will be able to start working on 2011.

Project Life 2016: Week 17

We spent a good amount of time outside this week and one day included a slithering adventure!
