Grant the Great

How did we make such an incredible little man? He's a talker, man. He won't quit. It's so great to finally be able to hear what he has to say. I'm making out about half of what he is saying, but it's better than nothing, right?

He says:
Mama, Daddy, Baba, Juicy, NO! (shocker), peas (please), hi-hen (chicken), too-tee (cookie)...and a million other words I can't figure out yet.

Oh, and by the way...I STILL think he's gonna be my south paw. {fingers crossed}

Stay Tuned-

James "Rocks the House" Plank

So, James started basketball on Tuesday. He joined a team with his tumbling coach through the YMCA. He did great at his first practice. His coach said that he was a little intimidated by the class size, but did a super job. His coaches have donned him a new name...James "Rocks the House" becuase he is such a go getter. I couldn't be more proud!

On the same note, Jaiden finished up soccer a couple of weekends ago and did great! Her team took second place...by ONE game!! They would've otherwise been undefeated. She had a great coach this season and signed up for the next round. GO Coyotes!!

Lu-Hoo-Zu-Hrrr

I just realized that other than our holiday cards we didn't share any of our amazing photography!! So, here are a few of my favorite shots taken December 2008. There were so many to choose from, it was hard. A sincere thank you again goes out to our brilliant artist, Rebekha Pailliotet.

You've been Duff-ed!!

{Here we come Taylor!}

WE GOT 'EM!!! Jen and I have been patiently waiting to get tickets to take Jaiden and James to see Taylor Swift and she got them this morning!!! SO rad. I can't wait to stand on the seats and belt out or favorite songs. I can't wait to watch Jamesy scream at the top of his lungs for her. (Sigh)

James favorite song in the whole wide world for those of you who don't know or haven't heard him sing it is "ihatethatstupidoldpickuptruck"...lol-Picture to Burn.

Feeling Charmed?

Here's a sneak peek of our March project. This mini book is called Charmed. I'm really excited about this book because we introduce a new technique from Ranger Inks involving Alchohol Ink. Sound scary? It's actually easier than you think! I'm crazy about the papers and colors in this book. Heather and I have incorporated areas for journaling to capture those unforgettable moments. Can't wait to share the rest! If you'd like to participate in this class, please let me know as soon as possible. I've tentatively set the date for March 12.

My Super Awesome Unique Fabulous...oh yeah and fun...day with Meg

I was so excited and happy to work on this project with Meg. She is in a wedding next month and went to the bridal shower Sunday. So Saturday we got together and worked on this awesome shadow box for the bride. The bride and her fiance got engaged in France, hence the theme.

I was so proud of Meg for thinking of this totally special gift for her friend. It was super fun and she did a great job!

I {heart} you!

Happy Valentines Day!! Today we went to Jaiden's last soccer game of this season. It was good. Those kids really get out there and play! Then we went to Grandmas and Chuck E Cheeses to celebrate.

In the spirit of love and passion here is my latest project. This is part of a mini book that I created to celebrate "Just the Beginning" of my little G-man! I am passionate about crafting and crazy in love with my munchkin!
