Big Sister, Little Sister


This scrapbook page was fun to put together. The girls always loved to have a tea party and they loved to blow bubbles, too. The day these pictures were taken, they decided to do both - a bubble tea party. It was a pretty summer afternoon and they were wearing their matching sun dresses that I made for them. I love the pretty lavender paper and the purple brads. Emma's favorite color is purple, so it worked out just great!

Water Babies


This is one of the scrapbook pages I made for the book I entered into the fair that won 1st place. When Kara and I would take the girls to the pool, we had to take the stroller, diaper bags, sippy cups, sunscreen, hats, pacifiers, sunglasses, bathing suits with those lumpy swim rings, snacks, an umbrella, pool pants (no diapers allowed in the pool), towels and more towels, dry clothes and water toys. By the time we got there, she and I would be exhausted. The girls were ready to hop into the pool but we weren't finished unloading everything.

We did truly have a lot of fun with them in the water. We'd take them over to the big pool during adult swim. They liked to watch the "big kids" jumping off the board and making huge splashes. I wanted this page to reflect all the fun we had and also all the trouble involved in having all that fun.
