Scrapbook Summer 2013-February 2014

Today is my day off, so I am finally catching up on some scrapbooking. Now I didn't get all of these done today just 3 and tweaked 2, but I am happy to finally have something to post, maybe looking at these will motivate me to finish out 2013 {this is pretty hit and miss} and get through this summer fun. It's good to have goals. :) {August 2013}   {September 2013} {October 2013--1 page for each kid} {November 2013} {Christmas 2013} {January 2014} {February 2014}

Summer Catch-Up

My Muse finally struck again and I have been able to knock out a few pages lately. WAY behind on P365, wonder if I should give that up?!?! Feeling like a lost cause at this point...but these are some of my best pages to date!

{Capturing Leighton's Biggest moment. Asking Jesus into her heart and life!!!}

{July}

MW 2.5

Lo 4.5

Spring 2013

{Dec 2012} I found these photos and knew they had to be in a page. My Great Grandma {the kids' Great Great Grandma}

{Dec 2012--Super Heros. I love these comic book pages!}

{March 2013--Easter MW}

Easter Lo

{March 2013} I am so in love with this page!! I love my ballerina. This is what have a little girl is all about. Be still my heart. When she grows up she says she is going to be a ballerina & artist! 

February 2013

Man lots of fun in February. Getting closer and closer to catching up through our Spring that feels like Winter days!! Of course my new job that I just took on is stealing a lot of my free time, so it's a little slow going.

 {Sesame Street Live} We took both kids and it was a blast. MW loved it and had his eyes glued to the stage!

  

As always 2 pages for the time of 1!

Leighton turns FOUR! I can't believe it...I am still not over it and it has been 2 months. This layout is one of my favs! Inspiration from HERE.

Then we keep getting these freak winter/spring snow storms. This one or two was record setting 12+ inches in round 1 and another 7+ in round 2...lots of snow fun had!

Finally busting into my 2013 layouts. Yay!

{October 2012}
A special date night with Lo. I so wish MW would have came too! We always think he won't do well at these sort of things, but that TV addict would have probably done better than 50% of the kids there who were MUCH older I might add!

Sister and Brother collage 2012
{Leighton's copy}--All for one and one for all. My brother and my friend.

Brother and sister, together as friends, ready to face whatever life sends. Joy and laughter or tears and strife, holding hands tightly as we dance through life.

 The pages are obviously the same, but I changed out the quotes to fit each sibling. I was so pleased with each quote I found, so fitting and they worked so well with the layout, which was a happy accident totally intentional. :)

Micah turns 2!!! I love using all his 2 year old video quotes to capture this layout.

Summer 2012 Pt 1

Now that I don't have a baby to scrapbook every single milestone any more this scrapbook thing has gotten a bit easier. HA! At this point I am pretty much desperately trying to get caught up with summer pages. I get in the cycles of scrap scrap scrap and then I don't forever...goal is to get summer done before fall and Christmas hit.

{July 2012}

This page was inspired by THIS page and THIS blog post. The moment I saw it I knew I had to "copy" it. The blog post was probably the most poignant mommy post I have ever read. It is something that still sticks with me today. This mommy business is hella hard most days, but man when you slow down every now and again and just soak in a moment with your kids, you tend to remember why you had kids in the first place. I am always on the look out for those Kairos moments daily.

These two babies are my world and I thank God I get to be here and be there mommy.

{Summer Highlights 2012}

Seems like the only thing we did this summer was swim! Guess that is a given when it is over 103* nearly every day. And don't rub your eyes these are the same pages just with each kid's pictures interchanged. Two pages in 1 hour. Done.  :)
