11 Months Old ALREADY!!

Date September 30, 2008

Jacs turns 11 months old on the 31st of September. That day does not exist!  So we will celebrate it on the 30th.  In honor of our little pumpkin, here is a list of 11 new things that Jacsie can do that makes us smile!

Makes noise- she loves to baby gab.  Her favorite words right [...]

Goodbye Dropshots, Hello Shutterfly

Date September 29, 2008

It is finally happened.  We have uploaded 500 pictures on dropshots- our account is full. Rather than buy the upgrade or constantly delete pictures to make room for new ones, we went with Shutterfly.  I actually set up this account back in November 2007 but Dropshots was easier at the time.  Shutterfly has gone through [...]

September’s Mommy-Made Book

Date September 25, 2008

This month I was sifting through my options on what kind of book I would make for Jacs.  I started on a “Let’s Eat!”  book- taking various pictures and writing the story line.  And then, suddenly- a miraculous gift appeared through email.  Well, maybe not miraculous, but a great opportunity nonetheless.  I recieved a free [...]

Red + Blue = MESS!!!

Date September 22, 2008

I thought I would have a creative art activity with Jacsie today.  It seemed like a good day to get messy and finger paint!  I used food coloring with some applesauce- knowing that Jacs is curious and likes put things in her mouth.  She had a great time squishing the red, blue, and yellow applesauce [...]

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

George

Date September 9, 2008

Jacs adores this small brown monkey that has been named George, after Curious George whom she loves. We say, “Jackie, where’s George?”  She replies with some high pitched squeals indicating that she, too is wondering where he is… When this much loved monkey is spotted, she dives for him and gives him big hugs.  It [...]

Saturday Night at the Park

Date September 8, 2008

Aaron, Jacs, and I went down to visit my family Saturday night.  Unfortunately for Aaron, all the other guys in my family were at the University of Utah football game.  But he is a good sport and enjoyed the girls night anyway.   We took the kids to the local school park.  We had an [...]

Let’s Go To Canada, eh?

Date September 2, 2008

Aaron had the opportunity to teach a computer class in Toronto last week and we got to go along for the ride! We were all so excited to be with daddy for the week and to go back up to Canada! Aaron and I both served our missions in Toronto and it is always [...]
