These first 3 layouts were created with Basic Grey's Bittersweet line of patterned paper and stickers. I also added some Bazzill white cardstock (orange peel texture-a fav. staple of mine), SU chocolate chip ink, and SU grosgrain ribbon. I also use layout sketches from pagemaps.com.
I think this one is my favorite! I just love how it turned out.
The journaling here tells how Mylie loves to cuddle with soft things to fall asleep.
One day, during 'tummy time' Braden was trying to teach Mylie how to lift her head up. It was absolutely adorable.
These were from a page swap I did with my sister-in-laws, Jennifer and Stephanie. Stephanie designed the page. I added the photos and my "creative" title. The photos were from Christmas 2006 - making gingerbread houses with the Johnson family.
She's becoming very vocal in her awake hours. Lots of 'gooo's and 'coooo's. So fun! She really had a lot to say today while she sat on Daddy's lap and watched Daddy and Big Brother play a game on the computer. Pretty exciting stuff! It's so funny how you forget ALL the things that go along with having a newborn - like how The Princess's pooping habbits are now a topic of daily conversation around her. HeHeHE - gotta love it!
And - I've been canning chunky applesauce today. I got a whole 7 jars today and hope to get about that many tomorrow. It's amazing how long it takes when you have a nursing newborn and a five year old doing homeschool. The end result is pretty great looking though and the feeling of actually accomplishing something today is overwhelming.
This picture is from our trip last September to Yellowstone. On the way there we stopped for some shopping and fun in Jackson Hole. We played in the park for a while and Braden decided to make a pretend campfire with some sticks and leaves that he gathered up. He has such an imagination. He was having so much fun that another little boy came over to play too. Cute kids.
