Scrapbook Baby Kit...

I have always known that I want to have some kind of photo album for Noah's pictures to go in so he can look at them when he's older, but i'm not into scrapbooking so I haven't been sure of what to do and up until this point i haven't done anything! Yeah i know, shame on me he's 6 months old! Anywho, Michelle, who is always looking out for my best interest bless her heart, emailed me a link to a website that was selling a scrapbook Baby Kit. I watched the video clips and got really excited because it's pretty fool-proof for those of us who don't have any idea of how to scrapbook or where to even begin and it comes with tons of great heavy paper and embelishments and the pages are even labeled in individual bags! The kit has enough product in it to do a monthly layout for 12 months plus 8 layouts leading-up to when Noah is born (being showered, expecting you, etc). Just a little "plug" because i'm so thrilled with it, the website is http://www.beckyhiggins.com/ and just go to her blog. Right now she is starting to sell her Christmas Card collection which is really cute, but for a reasonable amount of money you get alot of extras and it's good quality stuff. This may be old news for those avid scrapbookers, but for me it's new and pretty exciting! Just wanted to share for those of you who are in the same boat as i was, but i now have the "bug" and can't wait to get going!

Ribbon, brads, a stamp and lots of extras
All the paper is girl on one side and boy on the other!

Wheeler Farm

Oh, pigs are just so cute!

Who cares about the pumpkins...give me the straw!

Oh, he's just so stinkin cute!

Spending my days home with Noah are great, but Monday's are typically pretty slow around our house. Slow meaning, it's Monday so we're slow to get out of our jammies and get going. But yesturday was fantastic! Noah and I went to Wheeler Farm. I hadn't been in years and I have been feeling a sense of urgency to try and do things outdoors knowing bad weather is on it's way. Wheeler Farm is great...I don't really think Noah cared all that much that we were there, but he didn't complain about being in his "BOB" and my taking his pictures with animals that he doesn't quite know what to think about yet. Everything at Wheeler Farm was great until we came to a HUGE duck pond that was over-filled with hundreds of geese making this horrible squaking noise chasing after kids because they wern't feeding them their bread fast enough.

Geese...they would have made a great goose dinner!

P.S Is there anyway to get my message to come before my pictures? The pig is cute and all, but i would like to introduce him first!

Oops...forgot the pictures!

Shout out to my Boys!!

Being the only female in the house my ideas are often veto-ed (if we include Oscar, our dog, it's three to one). But this idea isn't going to be veto-ed because I'm now the blogger of the family. I just wanted to give a little shout-out to my boys to let them know how much they add to my life...they are my life and without them in it, I wouldn't have the rich, rewarding sense of security, love and accomplishment that I do now. Thanks for keeping me on my toes and continually reminding me of how blessed I am.

To blog or not to blog...

Well, here we are...after much debate, i've decided to create a blog about our family. It has taken much urging and pursuasion, but today I am feeling a bit crafty and decided to just go for it. So please, forgive the mis-spellings, bad grammer and lack of creativity...but hopefully with a little practive i'll be an old pro before long!
