Scrapping Our Memories

I have finished another Scrapbook Album! Love that feeling! I now have 18 completed albums (click here to view other albums)...and I still love scrapping, when I get the chance...luckily I live one street over from my BF Tami who also shares a love for scrapbooking and so we get together at night at least once or twice a month to get some pages done...I am 15 mos behind which isn't too bad with all the stuff on my plate but I also have Noah's 1st year baby book to do...Looking forward to Tahoe (April) to really put in some time on this favorite hobby of mine...who else shares a love for scrappin? and what's your favorite tool?

'Purse'onally

Last Wednesday we had our YW's New Beginning's and it was a Purse Theme showcasing all the girls' different "purse"onalitys...It was very cute and some of us leaders even made Purse Cakes...we had the girls make clutch purses out of paper lunch bags and had each girl bring one of their favorite purses to decorate the room...As gifts we gave the girls little candy filled purses to rmind them how sweet and one of a kind they are...Here are my purse cakes for the evening...they actually came out cuter than I thought I could do...

Weekend Fun

(Dalen is at school)

My parents came to visit for the weekend and we had a great time...they are the best parents and grandparents! We kicked off the weekend on Friday with a Valentine's Party for the kiddos (see below) and then mom and I went to see 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' which was very cute...

On Saturday Grandpa made a yummy Valentine's Breakfast-Pancakes and then took Dalen and Deveon to see Coraline 3D and out to lunch while mom and I went to the Folsom Outlets with Noah and Lex for our own dose of Shopping-couldn't let Isla have all the fun...and that's where we both bought our very first Coach bags! We kept seeing people with Coach shopping bags as we were walking around and so right before we left we wnet to check it out and they were having a Huge sale! We "saved" so much money too! as Steph mentioned "love this recession, everything's fricken cheap!" so like the good helpers of the economy my mom and I are, we purchased new lovely handbags to go with our new clothes from the Dress Barn...love that store!...Also found shorts for Noah at $1.99 a piece---(would've gotten Adam some but they ended at 18mos...I looked)...Got a new swimsuit and matching bag and a fun skirt for Princess---thanks G'ma...

For Valentine's Day with Josh, my parents watched the kids so Josh and I could go out...We went for a romantic walk thru Old Town Sacramento and had dinner at Johhny Rockets--you know us, never prepared with reservations but our meals were great nevertheless...We found a beautiful wind chime at some crazy hippie store that sold dream Books and bongs...It was great, made us laugh...I love spending time with my best friend and hubby, we always seem to fall in love all over again...

New Gymbo Line

Walk Boo-Boo Walk

Good Boy...

He's almost there!

Bow to your Sensai

Dalen has been doing Karate for about 4 months now and is loving every minute of it...It really has done so much for his confidence...He shows up 15 minutes early every Tue and Thurs night so he can have some one on one time with his Sensai's to get a little more improvement...It has however been a challenge for me to pack all the kids up two nights a week and take him over to his class...it kinda shakes things up during the week but he loves it so much and as a parent we make sacrafices...I am so glad Dalen has found something he really loves...

For Valentines this year I decided to try 14 days of Valentines for the family...We started out by decorating these cute metal mailboxes and then placing a treat for someone anytime we wanted to for the 14 days leading up to Valentines Day...It has been so much fun and the kids look forward to it daily...These were the roses I recieved from Josh the other day "in my mailbox" Hope everyone is getting into the Love spirit of this fun Holiday...
