Birthday Parties

My girls get invited to so many parties- it is hard to capture them all. But this princess party that they went to was awesome. It was beautiful and they had so much fun. Seeing them drinking chocolate milk out of their mini teacups was adorable. Since then Delaney has been to another princess party here and loved it equally as much. What a great idea. I know when we were kids we were just happy to have friends over and a cake. Nowadays parties are so extravagant, but I like the idea of paying someone else to host my kids parties- it sure makes cleaning up an easy task.

I miss Maui!

It seems like forever ago that we were in Maui. I miss it already- and want to go back soon. It was such a great holiday and such a great place to go with kids. We are maybe going to Anaheim next year which would be great- but that seems like an eternity away. I will have to live vicariously through these photos!

The Aquarium

We had so much fun at the Aquarium. This was lst November, but it has become a family institution for us. We were lucky enough to get a year pass as Xmas gifts- so we go as often as we can. I can never seem to take enough photos. I cannot wait to go there with the new camera.

Halloween!!!!!!

I know what a weird thing to be thinking of in the middle of May! But that is where I am at the scrapping of my stuff. The worst part is that I have a Xmas and a snowfall to go through too! I am dying to scrap some summer photos- like the ones I took today at Dani's sports day. But alas, if I do not stay on the straight and narrow and do the photos I have to do, I will get all caught up in in wonderful summer colours and have no time for orange and red! So here is a lovely Halloween layout to look at. I created the background paper all by myself. The photos were the most aweful ones I have ever taken inside. I am so thankful that I have a new Digital camera that takes fantastic indoor shots as I am sick of dull, blurred indoor photos.

A purple tea party!

A few weeks ago after dinner, Danica said that we were going to have a teaparty. We had recently finished painting her teaset which she had from Christmas LAST year. So her and Delaney set up the tea table and decked it all out. We even had some little cookies left over from Valentines, which worked perfectly for our pint sized party. There were "goody bag" which were their toys in purses. What a great time- I love it when the girls use their imagintion like this.

Brown week!

Well, I missed a few weeks of the colour challenge, but am trying to catch up. So it is working out really well that each week the challenge seems to coincide with the photos I am scrapping. I am still so far behind and now I am even further due to the 800 or so photos I took in Maui! But here is my tribute to brown and my pumpkin patch photos. Loved this paper and it was very inspiring to use. These are some of my fav family photos, as it is so rare that I am in photos. I am the historain of the family so spend hours behind the lens and the seconds that these photos caught of me in front of the lens I quite like.

Back from Maui!

Wow! What an amazing 2 weeks. It flew by, but the memories stay strong. I took so many photos I have no idea how I am going to catch up now?? It is amazing how my mind thinks now days- I think in scrapbook pages and it is weird... I was so inspired by the sights and sounds of Maui that I was dreaming about scrapbooking on my last 2 nights there. It was a sign that I had been away from my computer and photos for long enough! Home we are and I created only one page as I have now run out of room on my hard drive and had to buy a new HD to copy all my photos to! But one page I created -paper and all. More soon....
