On the Trail

Journaling:
A few weeks ago, Katie and I went to Ogden to have lunch with Julie, who was there for work. While driving in downtown Ogden, we noticed some horses that were very reminiscent of the buffalo that were all around SLC during the 2002 Olympics. On my next day off, we decided to head up to Ogden again and take some pictures with all the painted horses. It was a lot of fun walking down 25th South and seeing up close an area of Ogden we had never explored before.

Go Team

I made this page for the Soccer Event for DSM's Digi Olympics.

Journaling:
This was Megan's first year playing soccer. She watched Jeff play for two years and couldn't wait for her turn to get out on the field to play. It is so fun to watch her out there on the field. She gets really into running as fast as she can, and sometimes she runs right past the girls kicking the ball the other direction. It's the cutest thing.

Goal

I made this layout for the Triathlon Event in DSM's Digi Olympics.

Journaling:
Jeff has really taken to soccer. He has become an excellent player. He loves to be on the defense and is usually found blocking the opponent's goal. He is no longer timid and gets right in the middle of the action. It's so fun to waatch how much he has improved since his first year of soccer. Way to go Jeff!!

Sidewalk Chalk Artists 2

This is the second half to the layout below. I made this page for the Archery Challenge for the DSM Digi Olympics. Credits are the same as the other half of the page.

Sidewalk Chalk Artists

I made this page for the cycling event of the DSM Olympics.

Journaling:
Megan and Jeff have always loved sidewalk chalk. This year Kristi bougnt some chalk that came with cool chalk holders. Jeff drew an awesome diesel truck and even wrote “trucking” on the side of the truck all by himself. Megan can write her full name without any help, and she wrote it many times around the driveway.

Independence Day Parade

Journaling:
This is the usual group that gets together to watch the parade every year. This year we had a couple extras. Leslie and Sarah came to visit me this year, because I had told them all about the 4th of July festivities in Vernal.

Silly Roommates

These pictures are the only pictures Katie and I took of each other while we were roommates.

Journaling reads: Katie and I were roommates during the winter, so we were both wearing our beanies all the time. I always did crazy things with mine when we were in our apartment. Katie always made fun of me, but I got her into the fun eventually. We decided we better document the silly things we did with our beanies. I'm glad we did because these were the only pics we took while we were roommates.

4 Wheeling Fun

I finished finals yesterday. I haven't had a lot of time to scrapbook, so I have set a goal for myself. I want to make one scrapbook page everyday for the week and a half before I start school for the summer semester. I am going home for three days this weekend, so I probably won't make any pages those days, but expect to see a new page every other day until the 11th. Here's the first page from my "scrap-a-thon".

Journaling reads: This year, Kristi got a 4-wheeler, and Jenny and John got two 4 wheelers. They brought them to Grizzly Ridge for the Liechty reunion. We had a lot of fun riding around on all the trails.

There Ain't No Megs On Me

I made this page on April 5th, but I'm just now getting around to posting it. Katie took these pictures and called that she got to make the first scrapbook pages from these pictures. A few months later, she told me that I could make a page because she didn't know when she would get around to it. It took me a couple of months to finally make the page, but I finally did.

Journaling Reads: Megan laughed as I swung her around on my leg saying, “I have a Megan on my leg!!” When dad saw this he started singing. “There ain't no Megs on me”.

Around the edge: There ain't no Megs on me. Oh, there ain't no Megs on me. There may be Megs on some of your legs, but their ain't no Megs on me.

Swing

April of Digital Scrapbook Memories asked me to make a few layouts from the Beginner Series CDs. This layout and the two following it (Swing, Little Moments, and 1st Day of School) are the layouts I created. I was a scrapbooking machine last week. I made 8 layouts in 7 days. That should make up a little for the slump I was in for over a month.

Journaling Reads:
Megan had so much fun on the swings at my
apartment. Everytime she comes to visit, she wants to go play at the playground or swim in the pool. If she is lucky, she gets to do BOTH!!

Soccer 2007

Digital Scrapbook Memories has a new CD coming out in a few weeks. It's called Oh Boy! The CD is designed especially for boys. I was honored enough to get the CD early and was asked to make a few layouts to showcase some of the items in the kits. This layout and the 4 following it are the layouts I created (Soccer 2007, Stinky 6 year-old, Built Kid Tough, Big Boy Toys, and Playing Dirty). You can see a sample of each of the kits and more layouts here.

Stinky 6 year-old

Journaling Reads:
One cold day in December, Jeff came into the family room wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants, and the following conversation ensued...
Aly: Those sweats look comfy and warm.
Jeff: Yeah, they make me sweat and stink and that’s the best part.
Aly: They make you stink? You like to stink?
Jeff: Yeah!! Boys are supposed to stink.
...later that day...
Aly: Something stinks! Who stinks?
Jeff: (with a huge grin on his face): Me!! I stink!! I’m like the dinosaurs cause they’re stinct.

Built Kid Tough

Journaling reads:
Jeff and Megan went to Lowe’s on Saturday, December 16th to learn how to build pine wood derby cars. Lowe’s gave them little aprons and eye goggles. They could not wait to wear their new gear while helping Papa with some of his work on the house.

Big Boy Toys

Journaling Reads:
Jeff loves all things that have to do with trucks; especially big trucks. Since he was able to talk, he has learned the names of different trucks and heavy machines, and he will correct you if you call one by the wrong name. You can imagine how delighted he was to come home one day to find a front-end loader and a dump truck making their way down the street. They were collecting yard trash for the annual yard clean-up day. He stood outside watching every thing. When they got to Papa’s house, the man driving the front-end-loader offered to let him ride in the cab. He was so excited and had a great time watching the loader pick up all the tree branches and other trash. What a great experience for a four year old boy!!

Playing Dirty

Journaling reads:
Jeff came to see Grandma and Papa right when they got home from a camping trip. Jenny said she would wash his face and hands and 5 minutes later he would be this dirty again, but He sure had fun playing in the dirt.
