I thought it would be fun to compile my Top 5 Scrapbook Pages of all time. I love scrapbooking!So here they are, in no particular order :)

boys will be boys


Here is my latest scrapbook page. Grant cracks me up! He is all boy and can be crazy at times.
I remember when I was pregnant with him I was so scared to have a crazy boy and was sure if I just taught him right he would be a polite, calm, quiet boy. Not the kind of boy who gets into everything, is desrructive, loud, you get the picture, a normal boy. Well, despite my best efforts I have come to realize in the past 18 months that no amount of teachings can stop a boy form being a boy.

First...


In the first few years of life there are so many first. First smile, first time rolling over, first steps, first time eating solids, and on and on. Those first seems to slow down some, and then they reach that wonderful age of five. My sweet little Gracie recently turned 5 and had her first day of school. She looked so cute, and so excited. I remembered my first day of school and how shy and nervous I was. I wanted to stay with Gracie all day, but not wanting to look like a lunatic I knew I couldn’t do that. All that day I thought about what she might be doing. I wondered if she was scared or sad or if she was enjoying school on this her first day. Luckily my daughter hasn’t inherited my shy, reserved, self conscious personality. She couldn’t be enjoying school more. She loves her teacher, friends, lunch, and I think EVERYTHING about kindergarten. I have to admit it makes me feel a little sad inside, like she's moved on. I know that’s a selfish feeling but, “Hey! At least I’m honest!” I’m sure I am not the only mother to ever feel that way. Despite those small moments of sadness over another first I am so proud of Gracie and excited for this new adventure in her little life.
