Yesterday while Hailey was at school and Aimee was taking a nap I was sitting at home with Sarah and watching part of a gymnastics program we'd recorded from television when she asked me, "Will I be able to do gymnastics like that some day?"
I would dare say that since she is doing these things as a 3 1/2 year old there is a chance she'll learn to do some of those fancy moves the gymnasts do. Not that we're looking to keep our kids in gymnastics long-term but it's fun for them to do for now, and I love watching them practice their tricks in my living room :)

This is just a quick card using one of the October Afternoon Cherry Hill journal cards, some scraps, American Crafts Thickers, glitter glue and some twine.
And, a layout of my cute Hailey girl. I love the cheerful colors of this collection and it went just perfectly with this cutesy picture of Hailey.
Here she is all dressed and ready to go, backpack on and lunchbox in hand.
While Matt was trying to play it cool I think he was a little sad to leave Hailey at school.
And, here we are after leaving the cafeteria where the kids gather in the morning, on our way to her classroom. She seems so big to us at home but looked so little there with the other kids. 
I picked Hailey up from school this afternoon, excited to hear all about her day and instead of her being anxious to tell me about her day she seemed a big sheepish- she'd gotten a time out on her first day because she was hungry- hadn't eaten enough of her lunch- and got up to get a snack out of her bag. So, she got in trouble. Poor girl. I know tomorrow will be better.
This is little Sarah when we lived in Boise. Can you believe how little she was back then? She has changed so much but still has those big brown eyes and long, curly lashes. Real old Crate Paper, Basic Grey stickers, Heidi Grace brad flowers and some old chipboard, not sure who made those flowers.
And this is Hailey, now 5 years old. All of our kids have worn this cute little pumpkin costume. Check out the little Chatterbox letter stickers on the little blocks. I thought the cork paper was so trendy at the time.
This, too, is little Hailey, about 2 years old here.
This family pic was taken while we were on a campout in McCall, Idaho the summer before we moved down to Texas. Hailey and Sarah have changed so much since then. Old KI Memories paper, Maya Road and Prima flowers.
This is Hailey and Sarah (and some really old Basic Grey paper)when Sarah was less than a week old. Yeah, Hailey was sticking her finger in Sarah's ear. Silly girl.
So, now that you've had a good laugh you can go back to your day. I hope to have some recent work to show you in the next few days.
Brian, Zach and Heather
me and Heather, reunited again :)
me and the family- Hailey, me, Aimee, Matt and Sarah.
Here's cute Andi, Hailey's playmate for the weekend. Dylan is Hailey's age but he didn't seem too interested in spending time with her. Silly boy.
And my Aimee. She's such an angel girl.
Here are Sarah and Hailey with Andi on the tire swing at the park
And cute cute Peyton...he kissed Sarah before they left yesterday and said he was going to marry her forever. Is that adorable or what?
And sweet little Soni. She and Aimee had quite the rivalry going.
And little Sarah climbing around
Aren't Sami and Cameron so cute? And to think I knew them before they were even seriously dating. I told her she was going to marry him. I really know how to pick 'em.
Here are Hailey and Andi doing "snow angels" on the grass after we stopped for ice cream.
And my Hailey, almost 5 years old now. Time goes by way too fast.
All of the kids having fun after ice cream. It was great because all of our kids are around the same ages. Andi is the oldest but Hailey and Dylan are only 2 days apart, Sarah and Peyton are close in age as are Aimee and Soni.
Matt and Aimee...I had to beg Matt to give me a "normal" expression for this
And, because I am up at 4 in the morning(!!!) I will go ahead and post a couple of new pages for you. I want to make sure each of my kids gets equal face time here on my blog. I don't want someone to ask why they were hardly featured here and get a complex about it. Hailey has in the past been known to say, "Why did she get to be first? Is it because she is the prettiest?" I don't know where she comes up with these things.
Page credits: everything is Pink Paislee: Office Lingo and Cupcake collections. I used one of the die-cut flowers as a template for making the layered flowers you see here. I then stapled the flowers to the page.
Hailey is certainly a pretty girl, no doubt about that, and she is a little smarty learning to read when she isn't even quite 5 years old. We went to the elementary school yesterday to find out who her kindergarten teacher is going to be and Hailey was positively glowing just walking around in the school, anxious for all of the exciting things that awaited her in the very near future. She's not nervous at all, she tells me. I wish I was so quick to say that as I am a little apprehensive about dropping her off at school that first day.
Page credits: Basic Grey Lemonade collection paper, chipboard and alpha stickers (inked with black), Basic Grey white chipboard alphas, Webster's Pages lace, Hero Arts blue rhinestones, Making Memories tiny alpha stickers. Most of this came from the July kit from My Scrapbook Nook.
And our little Aimee. Such a cutie girl with the sweetest personality. It's too bad that the terrible twos already have a hold on her. Lately she answers every request with the sweetest little sing-song "no." Sometimes it's not so sweet, and as you can tell from the above pictures, she's a bit emotional at times. Add that to her sister, Sarah's temper tantrums over everything lately and we have quite a bit of drama around our house.
These girls...I love them so much but at times I just have to walk away so I don't go crazy.
Isn't that fun? Sarah is such a silly girl and can always make us laugh with her antics.
Here is Aimee with her new-found obsession, the telephone. This page is a tribute to some funny words I taught her not too long ago, a phrase that has come back to "haunt" me time and time again. One day I was talking to Matt on the phone while he was at work and I handed the phone to Aimee so that she could talk to him as well. I told her to say, "hubba hubba" and got a good laugh when she actually did it. "Hubba Daddy," she would say, over and over. Now just about every time she picks up the phone she says, "Hubba hubba. Bye-bye." Such a silly girl.
This third page is a tribute to our long drive from our home in Boise, Idaho to our new home in west Texas about 2 1/2 years ago. Oh, I just realized that I don't have a date anywhere on this page. I'll have to make sure and add that. It was a long trip...too long, too much time for me to think about how much I would miss my friends in Boise, the first home we built together, and lots and lots of memories. I wasn't at all looking forward to moving to our new home and the only thing that I was excited about was spending more time with Matt's parents allowing the kids to know their grandparents really well. I still miss Boise but am trying to make this my home now. Home is where your heart is, right? Part of mine is still back in Idaho but I Texas is surely growing on me.
Isn't that the coolest ribbon? It looks just like a road, doesn't it? And, the 7 Gypsies charms are too cool for school, as they used to say.
Have a great night!
Stay tuned this week for fun scrappiness using that awesome August kit from My Scrapbook Nook. I can't wait to show you what I have been working on!!
