Digital Scrapbooking

I finally broke down and got myself some digital scrapbooking software and I am hooked! I have had such a great time going through old pictures and it is so easy to drop them into a page and create an album. I thought I would share some of my all time favorite pictures of little Lyndsey and Noah. Now don't go thinking I am leaving out my Jacob and Max but we sure did do a lot of fun things in those five and a half years before they came along.

Park Day....

We decided during the summer that we were going to go to the park and have a picnic every Wed. Today was the first day and even though the clouds were gray we had a really good time and it didn't even start raining until we were packing up to leave. Jacob had a blast and was trying to keep up with the big kids while not dropping his food! I think today was his first time on a swing and he loved it. Hope you enjoy.

One more week of school left......

Last week Noah's class had a reader's theater program, he was the narrator for his story and he did a great job. In between the stories they surprised us by singing songs that they had learned throughout the year. It was a lot of fun and Jacob actually behaved so we could enjoy Noah's production.


On Saturday, Lyndsey's gymnastics had a mini meet, she did so good, she is so close to moving up to the next level. I think her best event was the bars which she loves to flip around on! I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of her on the bar but here is one of her on the beam.


A few weeks ago we got a fire pit thing for our deck so Sunday night we decided to light a fire and enjoy the backyard, (I am not sure how much Dave really enjoyed it since he sat there with a spray bottle trying to get all of the ashes so that the lawn or house wouldn't catch on fire). Lyndsey and Noah decided to roast marshmallows and Jacob decided to warm up his belly.


Here are a couple of cute pictures of Max, one of him trying out Jacob's slide and the other one is last night when I guess we waited to long to get him out of his bouncer and he fell asleep. It was so sad but so cute. It reminds me of a picture of Lyndsey we took when she was little and she had fallen asleep in her bouncer! Precious moments.

Congratulations Lyndey and Noah

Here they are, my Distinguished Cubs. Lyndsey and Noah both worked really hard this year with extra projects and good attendance to earn these awards. We are so proud of them! Congrats again!

The adventures of Jacob

My little Jacob keeps me going, the other day I was in my bedroom and I heard, help me mom, help me. So I followed the voice into the TV room and this is what I found.

He had gotten himself stuck in Max's bouncer. I was quite surprised because I didn't think there was much he couldn't get himself out of. With Lyndsey and Noah I never needed the safety door handle things that prevent a child from opening a door or the latches to keep them out of drawers etc but with Jacob I think I have purchased every safety item available. I wonder if they are looking for kids to test safety products because I think Jacob would excel at that!

The other night I was out and Dave had put the kids to bed, when I got home I went to check on them and this is how Jacob fell asleep.

Apparently this Dora book just couldn't keep him awake.

This is what was happening on the other side of the room.


We have a crazy busy couple of weeks with school winding down so I will try to keep up with pictures etc.
