Blog Book

I recently make a blog book using Blurb. It was not very hard, time consuming or expensive. I love the way it turned out. Here are a few pictures I took of the book.

Spring Crafts

I love these festive spring blocks I made at craft group. My mother-in-law gave me a cute Easter egg garland that just happened to match perfectly.

We also recently made ties. They would be really great Father's Day gifts. I already gave mine to Brody though.

100th Post!

Whoopee! I did it. Two years and two months later I am writing my 100th post.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was at a friends house for craft night when the conversation of blogging came up. I didn't know what it was, and therefore should have been shun from society, because I'm pretty sure I thought blogging was an Irish folk dance with wooden shoes (apparently if I don't know what something means I just think of something it rhymes with). Fortunately, I had some good friends that helped me find my way. I started blogging, but I didn't know what to blog about. I figured I would write an update from time to time about the kids and post pictures for grandparents, siblings, and friends to see. I thought it was a great way to keep family in the loop with updates and pictures since they live so far away from us.

After a little while I changed my reasons for blogging (don't worry family I still do it for you too). I have never been very good at keeping a journal or scrapbooking. I decided I would try to blog at least once a week and use that as my journal/scrapbook. I know a lot of people think that's not a good idea, but for me I was doing nothing before, so this was better than nothing. I feel like it is similar especially because I can print my blog into a book and keep it like I would a journal or scrapbook. I already look back at older post and laugh. I'm sure my children will do the same when they get older.

I feel like blogging is a great alternative for those people like me who want to have memories captured, journaled, and photographed, but just don't have it together enough to pull out a journal or get out scrapbooking supplies every time something happens in their family. I think blogging is great. I have loved taking the time to write about my children, husband, goals, achievements, hobbies, vacations, holidays, fun stories, kids milestones, and memories.

So, that is it. For my 100th post I decided to tell you why I have posted 100 post. Happy 100th Post Day!!

Nursery is Great!

Here's Chase walking in the door after a hard day at nursery. He is now 18 months, so he started going to nursery at church this week. Chase did great, and I'm sure he won't have any problems, because he's such a good, easy going little dude. I'm excited for him to be in nursery and learn about playing, sharing, friendship, family and the gospel.

Baylor has something new to share this week too. He recently started writing letters and words. His favorite thing to write is his name. He's been writing it on every inch of concrete he can find, so beware if you have a clean sidewalk.
