September

2008-09-19T12:19:00.006-04:00

September has brought us into a new school year. Paige was excited to start school and ride the big school bus each day. I was excited to get started being part of the PTO and working hard to do everything that needed to be done for school. Paige also started soccer. Mathew Jr. Is keeping me busy just being a boy. But he has been great at the school. We are working on Potty training which seems like it will take longer that it did with his big sis... but we are doing it.

I am a Guest CT for Tara Dunstan for this month which has been fabulous already! I continue to work with Raspberry Road Designs and CT Coordinator for ScrappinFreestyle. All these seem to keep me busy and I am loving it. There are so many great designers out there that I wish I could work with them all!

We are all working hard now and keeping ourselves busy and out of trouble.

If any of you have time please check out the galleries that I post in as well as the freebies and kits that Susan of Raspberry Road Designs has each week... the Raspberry Girls have been working hard to keep passing out freebies each day. I hope everyone is enjoying them... Wednesday is my day and I have been supplying our readers with free greeting cards each week... go pick them up under the heading CARDS! Or FREEBIES!

So it is mid June...

2008-06-19T10:10:00.009-04:00

and it has been a coaster so far LOL. Paige had an issue at the Airshow that caused me to take her to the medic. They did not know what happened and all she said was her throat hurt. But she was white as a ghost. I noticed a bite or a sting on the top of her foot and think she might have been stung by a bee. So I got her Doctor to prescribe her an Epipen until we can get her tested for bee sensativity. Mathew is doing well and now has leveled off into the 50%ile in his weight and height. he was 25.5lbs and 32 inches long. Nice healthy boy. I scrapped my cornea and had to deal with that for a week. It was horrible. Finally able to see now and boy is it nice not to feel like something is in your eye constantly! So... needless to say.. scrapping has been slow but I still have some done and some pictures to post. Enjoy!

My Life

2008-02-27T10:50:00.002-05:00

Lately it has been busy. We are still trying to get things together with the house. I have gotten 4 rooms painted so far. Mat has framed most of the basement's back side where the rooms are going to go. And together we have cleared all the leaves from the yard. We enjoyed our first real snowfall in the new house. It was nice to be able to go out and let the kids play for a little bit atleast.

Paige is doing great in school. She reading words and asking too many questions lol. She is also getting more interested in church which is great. She will repeat what the Priest is saying and follow along even though we do not think she is.

The other day her and I had a conversation. It went a little like this:

Paige: Mom, what is daddy doing?

Mom: He is working and will not be home for a few more days.

Paige: Is he a Police Officer?

Mom: He sure is.

Paige: Can Police Officers be mommies too?

Mom: Sure they can.

Paige: Okay, then I want to be a Police Officer and a mommy and then I will be a doctor and take care of a lot of babies.

Mom: I think that is great.

I love her ambitions in life. I know that she will continue to grow and strive for what she wants in life. I can't wait to see what her future holds!

Mathew is doing great. He is growing up so fast. He LOVES Barney. If Barney is on, he will not pay any attention to what is going on around him. We have started introducing him to the potty. He has went a couple times on it and gets so excited, but it definately is not a consistant thing. Paige started at 15 months and was Potty Trained by 2 . I am hoping for the same with him. He loves to climb onto everything. He loves his Big Boy Bed in his room. He has managed to learn to use one of his toys to climb up onto it. Last night we had company over from Church and he went back to his bedroom after dinner. I walked back about 10 minutes later and he was asleep in his Big Boy Bed. It was so cute! Life could not be any better for us!

Friday, Mat pins on TSgt Stripes. We are so very excited for this moment! He is so deserving of this and I am so glad that he finally will get the recognition that he deserves. He is also going to start school here soon and finish his Bachelors degree. He is one busy guy, but better he getting done now, then wait!

Lots going on here!

2008-02-13T14:32:00.006-05:00

Well we have moved into the new house... painted 3 of the rooms and partially framed the basement already before even the 1st House payment. WOW.. we are on a roll now!

I also received a gift from my sweetheart! A Nikon D40x. I love it! It is so nice and easy to use really. I thought that I would have a harder time to get even a single shot off. Nikon has a site where you can go and they will teach you things. I have yet to hit that up but I will soon. I read the book that it came with and got as much info that I need right now to get a good picture!

Here are just a few that I have taken and a few of the new house!

Busy Busy

2007-09-29T14:59:00.000-04:00

Well things around here have been busy. I have been scrapping like crazy. I am on 3 Creative Teams now which is great! There are so many talented designers out there and I am honored to be able to work with their kits. Some nights I am up til the wee hours of the night trying to get pages done, but I have been lucky because when Mathew Sleeps I get time to play! That is probably the only time I am going to be able to do my pages once Mat is home. We must enjoy Family time also!

Mat Sr should be coming home soon and we are very excited. Paige asks for him each day and wants me to pick him up each night. It will be nice for him to be home so that he can tuck her in at night. We were able to talk to him on the computer a couple times and he was able to see us, but we could not see him = ( It was nice to have him see the kids though.

I am trying to work on getting Mathew to sleep through the night. So far it is not happening . We had a couple nights where he would sleep from 12 til 5 which is excellent for me lol.. but now he is back to wanting to be up a few times in between. He must be hitting a growth spurt! He is doing great with eating table food. He loves anything with some texture that he can pick up with his fingers! He is not liking his Babyfood as much because he can not hold it! He is becoming more confident on his feet. Today he was pushing around Paige's Baby stroller. I was impressed. Just a few more days and he can take off... he just needs to wait for his daddy to make it home! I'm afraid though that we have hit the shy stage with Mathew. He will not cry if someone talks to him, but he does hide his head into my chest of shuns away. I hope he doesn't do that to daddy for too long!

Paige is learning a lot at school. She just learned all about Johnny Appleseed. Her class made applesauce with apples we sent in. They are also learning about comparison (big and small) And order.. biggest to smallest. They were working on their names also. Paige has known the letters in her name for a while now and has been able to write the letters. They are working on doing the upper case 1st letter and the rest lower case. She caught on to that on Sunday, the monday before she went to school to talk about it. She is so smart and loves to learn. We have been doing adding and subtracting using objects and fingers. She can add and subtract using the numbers 1-5 now. Pretty good for a preschooler! She is very interested in Reading. We read every night to eachother.. first me to her and then we choose a page to read together..I help her sound out the words and she says them one by one. I am sure by the end of the yr she will be reading more words. Another thing that they are going to work on with them this week is letter sounds. I believe that they are going to do the sounds of the letters in their names. Paige and I were going over the alphabet and I would ask her... what sound does ____ make. and she would respond. Most of the time the sounds were correct. But, she has a hard time with the vowels (e,i,o,u - she knows A )though so I guess those will be the ones we work on here at home. On Thursday we get to do a Family project!! I can't wait to find out what it is going to be!! I just hope Daddy is home to create it with us!!!

Bath for 2

2007-09-28T13:10:00.000-04:00

I used the kit above to create this layout of the kids in the tub. They love taking a bath together and helping eachother out. Look at their Soapy heads! LOL

Some new Pictures of Miss Paige

2007-09-28T12:52:00.000-04:00

It seems to me that I post more pictures of Mathew on here maybe because I am with him all day while Paige is in school, but I do have pictures of her too. If you check out the layouts that I create, they both are definately my main focus. The one problem I have with Miss Paige now is that she does not want her photo taken. I guess I have taken way too many of her since she was a baby and now has become annoyed easily when I break out the camera. Oh well .. take what you can get! Here they are.

New layouts..great kit!

2007-09-27T18:14:00.000-04:00

Mathew's Appointment

2007-09-21T10:16:00.000-04:00

So Mathew had his Appointment for his 9 mo check up. He is now weighing in at 21lbs 12oz and is almost 29 inches long. If you compare him to Paige at a yr, he is 1lb 3 oz heavier and 2.5 inches longer. So he will not be a little shrimp like she is. Everything looked fine with him. No shots! Thank goodness! And he did very well with no crying until we were leaving the clinic.

Some new things he is doing...

Saying HI and waving.

Waving bye bye

Lift's his arms when you say "SO BIG"

Claps his hands to music

Dances to music

Crawling on Hands and knees (no more low crawl)

Stands unassisted for short amount of time

Cruises furniture

Eats table food and hates many of his Babyfoods

Sats MAMA and DADA

Smiles and waves to himself in the mirror

Plays tag down the hall

loves the vacuum/helps clean with it

Walks holding onto mommy's legs

Plays with his crib toys, turning music on and off

I am sure there are a lot more but I just can't think of them right now.

Updates on Us

2007-08-29T00:26:00.000-04:00

Well Mat left yesterday for overseas but then came home last night becasue his plane was broken down. Again he left today and I got a call a few minutes ago from him stating again that his plane is not ready and they should be leaving tomorrow. They did get a hotel so that it will not confuse the children anymore.

Mat Jr is a handful now! He is moving all over the place and getting into everything! He is standing up and holding onto the furniture and walking! I can't believe that we have come to this already! It took Paige so long to get this down and Mathew is learning so fast! He went from learning to sit last Sunday to standing on Monday and then by the end of the week he was cruising! We caught him standing by himself not holding on to a thin the other day!! He is going to be going soon enough!

Paige is 4.. attitude and all. She definately feels like she deserves all the attention and everything that comes along with it! She doesn't want to go to school somedays and can't wait to go others. Sh will start at the Elementary school in a week and I am excited for her. It is going to be hard though since Daddy is not here and she is already dealing with that! I hope that she transitions pretty easily though.

Vacation

2007-08-16T11:28:00.001-04:00

So we had a great vacation with my Father and his wife and kids to Niagara Falls. We stayed at a little motel on Lake Ontario for 3 days and then headed across to Canada to finish off our trip.

The hotel in NY was awesome. The people there were great. They owned the motel and lived right across the street from in. They were full of information. They enjoyed telling about the a rea and the differnt Canadian Booze lol. The offered my father and my husband drinks many times while we were there. They held a campfire for all of the people staying at the motel one of the nights. It really was home away from home. I'd highly recommend a visit to see them.
In NY we visited the American falls. We purchased the Passport to see the 6 attractions they are famous for there...Maid of the Mist, Cave of the winds, The Aquarium, The movie about the falls, The Gorge Discovery area and trails, the scenic trolley ride, and the observation tower (Part of Maid of the Mist tour). It was great to revisit the Falls. There is so much that I did not remember and some that I did.

While we were in NY we also went on the Lockport Cave tour and Boat ride. That was very neat to see.

When it was time to go to the Canadian side, we were worried we would not get through and back. My father thought that we needed our Birth Certificates as well as our photo IDs... but luckily just our IDs were needed and we were fine.

We stayed at the Skyline Brock and had a gorgeous view of the falls morning noon and night. It was great to see them all lit up at night. We were able to see the fireworks twice while there. We walked through some of the gardens they had there, ate at Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe and Hard Rock Cafe. WOW... expensive! Taco Bell was over $9 just for a 2 taco value meal! We went on the BIIIGGG Ferris wheel and had an awesome view. We also went to the Water Park that was above our hotel actually on top of the parking garage.

Paige Celebrated her 4th Birthday in Canada. We decorate the room after she fell asleep and then laid her presents on the bed in the morning.. woke her up singing the Wiggles song .. Have a Happy Birthday Paige... and then she unwrapped her presents. We went to breakfast came back and the housekeeping were coming out of our room giggling. When we reached the door it had been decorated.. we went in and the ballons that we had blown up were hung up and the room was decorated with those and toilet paper streamers! There was even a gift from them on the bed! HOW THOUGHTFUL!

Paige also learned how to swim while we were on vacation... I guess she thought that she should learn one more trick before turning 4! She got in the water faster than I could and off she went treading water for the 1st time! I was impressed. She did not even get nervous about not being able to touch. She got brave wnough to even jump from the step...go under... and come up treading! WHAT A BIG GIRL!

Vacation

2007-07-12T09:49:00.000-04:00

We just got back from vacation and what a blast we had. It was fun but tiring! We definately saw as many people as time allowed. My Family reunion was on Saturday and so I was able to see a lot of people that we have not seen in quite a while. My Aunt was married Friday (Our 5th Anniversary) and my grandfather's b-day was that day as well. My cousin's little boy was also born on the6th of july..what a jam packed day that is now! Paige enjoyed her time with her cousins and everyone was happy to see Mathew since it was the 1st for many! Now we are glad to be home and I am ready to start working on some more freebies and more layouts!

My Little Man is getting so big! He is 6 months old today! I can't believe this time has gone so fast! I am so excited to see the new things that he accomplishes! He is so much bigger than Paige was but he will always be my little boy even if he gets bigger than her in the next year lol. He is rolling and sitting and laughing. He always is smiling. He has been named the Happiest Baby so many times from friends that we are around. He rarely cries. I am so blessed by him and Paige!

About Me

2007-05-07T09:38:00.000-04:00

My name is Sara. I am married with 2 beautiful children. My husband is in the US Airforce and I am a SAHM and avid Digital Scrapper. I started scrapping using paper and stickers many yrs ago. I have since discovered the art and joy of digital scrapbooking. There are a few reasons why I find enjoyment in the digital more than the paper.

1. Unlimited amount of the same paper and elements to be used.
2. If you mess up you just undo instead of pulling the pictures off and ruining some products.
3. NO MESS
4. Everything is stored in my little hard drive that I can just grab and go.
5. Many wonderful and talented artists create these free and cheap kits to be used.
6. The kids can't use up all the papers or stickers.
7. Quick to put away.
8. One paper to print instead of pictures galore!
9. Now that we are in the digital age- no paying for picture development.
10. AMAZING RESULTS!

I do sometime print out parts of the kits onto cardstock to use to make cards and find that the quality is just as good as what I can purchase from the store!

If you have ever thought about digital scrapbooking, I'd say jump in and give it a shot! You will soon become addicted like many of us!
