And here's my layout I did for it, this is one of my new favorites!

Journaling:
When you were about ten months old, we started to teach you how to blow kisses. You took the sound that we made and turned it into a word, ah-mah. You would say it all the time when we’d put you to bed. Now that you are 2 1/2 we still use this word as we put you to bed each night. To us, it means that we love you. I love to hear you say it to me.

And, check out what's new in Studio Sausan Designs:



A quickpage album....by me!!! I worked with Sylvie's awesome Valentino Valentina Kit and created these QPs. They were so much fun to make!! Go check them out!!! (Just click on the image)

Bryleigh's gymnastics lesson last night was so much fun! All day yesterday that's all she could talk about. And it was one of the first things she said this morning. She loved every minute of it and did really well listening to the instructions and following them. She's already talking about going "nes wee". I'm excited too because I can see how much she enjoys it!

Well that's all for now...I can't wait for the weekend! Bye, bye!

2 titleless...

just can't think of one this morning! :) Well yesterday was a crazy day! I went and helped with a pizza fundraiser for the young women in our ward. We made over 90 pizzas! And boy were they yummy, we had one for dinner! But we were there for 3 hours, yikes! Luckily Jeremy took a nap and Bryleigh had friends to play with!

Tonight Bryleigh gets to start gymnastics. I had taken her to one class a couple of months ago, but decided to hold off putting her in the class until she was 3. The lady that teaches them is a friend of mine and told me last week that she really wanted Bryleigh to come, so she's not going to charge me. How cool is that? I'm so excited because Bryleigh is just a natural when it comes to stuff like that! I was actually watching So You Think You Can Dance last night and listening to the girls saying they had been dancing since they were 2. That's my Bryleigh! I'd love to see her grow up loving to dance! So I'm excited to take her tonight to see how she does! And *yay* Jeremy gets to stay home with daddy! So it will be a girls night out every Thursday night!

Now on to my layout of the day. We did a photo swap over at the Lilypad. The catch was we had to send photo that were not of people or animals. I was paired with the super talented Kate Hadfield! How cool is that already? I sent her some photos of some flowers at Temple Square in Salt Lake and I can't wait to see what she comes up with! She sent me some beautiful photos of where they got married in Cyprus. Take a look at what I did with them:


I was really trying to pull colors out of the photo and ended up with a purple/orange combo! I've never done that combo before, but love how it turned out! Hope you like it Kate! :)

I've got loads of laundry to do today, so I better get crackin'! Bye, bye!

On Tuesday we drove down to Utah and met up with family. I got to meet my new nephew, Bryson, and he is a doll! :) We stayed with Grandma Cunningham and it was fun for Bryleigh to have some time with her. Wednesday was the BIG day! Grandma and Grandpa's 50th wedding anniversary! :) We met up at the Salt Lake Temple, took big family pictures at the Lion House, then ate a yummy, yummy meal there. We had a nice program for grandma and grandpa packed with a slideshow and everything. The poor toddlers (Bryleigh and Kylie) had just about had it and they were quite the interesting pair to keep quiet! I had just about had it by the time the night was over. Thankfully Jeremy was an angel and was very cooperative! Thursday our whole family (almost all 41 of us) went to the Hogle Zoo. Bryleigh enjoyed it, Jeremy did not. He hates sitting in the stroller. So he got passed around. But Bryleigh loved the animals and is still talking about the elephants and the giraffes! I'm glad she was a bit older this year to really love it all! Friday we took Bryleigh swimming at Cherry Hill. It's a small waterpark, but SO kid friendly. She loved it so much! She even jumped into daddy's arms from the side of the pool. And mommy missed it! I got majorly sunburned (yes, I put on sunscreen) and I'm still in so much pain! OUCH!! Saturday we went up to our family's cabin and relaxed a bit. We had my cousin's wedding in the morning, but then we just hung out for the reunion. Now this is a HUGE reunion...like my grandma's siblings and all of their families!!! But this year was pretty quiet, not too many showed up. Oh well, it was still fun. Then yesterday we came home. But before that, we went to Bryson's blessing. He is such a cute boy and I'm sad that I didn't get to spend more time with my niece and nephew...it was such a crazy week. That's the recap! :)

I came back to TONS of emails! Layouts and new product and a new store by Christina Renee! You've got to go check it out...wait you probably already have. I was more than likely the last one to register there! :) I'm so happy for her and wish her the best of luck!

Well, I'm going to go do laundry and catch up on my CT stuff! Yay! Everyone have a fantastic Monday! :)
