Is that Grace, or Shirley McClain???

Ha, I may be way off...but for some reason, this picture of Grace reminds me of Shirley McClain...

Cute little Sweden!

So I just have a short, funny story about my 8 year old niece, Sweden. It's my mom's story, but since she doesn't blog, I feel responsible to jot it down cuz it's too dang cute!

My mom took Sweden to church a couple of weeks ago and during Sacrament Meeting, she wrote my mom a little poem...Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you. Familiar poem, I know. But she drew a rose by the word rose and little circles around the violets part. She explains to my mom, "I didn't know what a violet looked like, so I just drew blueberries!" Funny, hu? :)

Man, I love that little girl! She is so smart, clever and adorable!!! Love you, Sweden!!!

6th file, 6th picture

Grace 9 1/2 months

Shannon had this on her blog. I just 'checked' to see which picture was the 6th picture in the 6th file...how could I not post it???

What are they doing???

I just thought this picture was funny and had to post it!
(is Grace trying to hide the bird she's flipping?)

My first digital scrapbooking experience...

So Jake got us the Photoshop Elements software for Christmas (actually, he waited until AFTER Christmas to get it on sale...he knew the gift would mean that much more to his cheap wife if he waited for a good deal!). You know, new software takes so much time to learn. I have been so busy working and stuff that I haven't had time to play around with it much. Well, this weekend I played around. F-U-N. Cristi, I totally see how you get hooked! Anyway, here are my first pages. Not super creative, but I promise to try to get better! After losing our first 2 years of Carson's digital life, these pictures mean sooo much more to us. (BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!)

Our Gracie Girl

Ok, so if anyone ever wonders why I love my husband so much...

Sure, he treats me great...he is an extremely hard worker and has a great work ethic...he plays the most beautiful guitar...yes, he has many traits that are quite loveable.

But the way he loves our kids is amazing. He put together this slideshow for Grace that has me almost in tears every time I watch it. I am so lucky to have a husband that is such a great father as well.

I had to break it up in 2 sections because I couldn't upload it to the blog. Enjoy.
