I Miss July...
July pages are done and in the 2013 album. I have been so happy with how my family loves these albums! Can't wait to fill in the missing years too. I'm almost half way through 2006... yay!
So here are a handful of my July pages. I didn't share all of them but most of them for family and friends who like to keep up on whats going on in our life... a couple months late.
Beautiful days here. Hope all are well! Love, Alison
June is a song...
...and I love the tune.
Did we really go straight from June to October? That's kinda what if feels like... the summers always fly by!
Here's to a wonderful October (which is nearly half way over too!)
A.
13 Years Old!
So... I can now say that I am the mother of a two year old and a teenager both.
It's pretty awesome, and sweet and wonderful!
Oh, you know, we have our moments... but I can honestly say our two year old brings so much joy to our family and so does our 13 year old!!! Just love her spunky, kind-hearted, helpful, smiley self.
She pretty much fills right in where I leave off whether it's babysitting, cleaning, baking, or getting ready for company.
I really don't think I could get along very well without her, especially after 13 years!!!!!!
Eleven Years Old!
Somewhere in the month of July, we celebrated Colter's 11th birthday (how is this possible)...
Colters birthday can pretty much be summed up with one word... KYLE! It was so much fun to have his best buddy/cousin spend the night and go to the water park with him on his birthday! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the water park (Boohoo!)
Then the icing on the cake was to end the day at Grandpa and Grandma's house with Kyle's family and Grandparents who were visiting from Alaska!

My sweet husband gave me a new camera for my birthday, in the form of a phone.
This means I have my camera/phone with me, where-ever I go now days. This may (or may not) be the coolest thing ever to be able to capture anything(snap), anywhere(snap), anytime(snap). It may (or may not) be causing photo overload to my computer system and my brain!
So, the above pictures are some of my favorites that I've taken on my new phone so far. I have to remember to get out the big camera sometimes and use it. But this has been fun, so very fun.
Snappin' away here in Montana,

Hope you enjoy the instagram video. More to come!!!

Father's Day 2013
"I love you right up to the moon," he said, and closed his eyes.
Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown Hare. "That is very, very far."
Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves.
He leaned over and kissed him goodnight.
Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile,
"I love you right up to the moon~~
and back."

Hope all are enjoying your summer!

Today is the last day of school!
Today is just the beginning of all the future holds.
Happy, happy day!

Melita at two.
Even through it's been over two months since Melita turned 2, I only just took these "two year pictures" on Friday. She also had her two year well-baby checkup on Friday. She is in the 50th to 60th percentile on both height and weight and appears to be well and healthy. Her ear ache/infection problems have hopefully disappeared now. She did have one shot that we hadn't gotten yet and she didn't even change expression when the needle went into her leg. So the only one who lost any sleep over it was me, I guess! ;) So, now that's over and we can move on with life!
So, here is a list.
There is SO much I want to remember...
-How she shows her love so sincerely and deeply. Kisses, hugs, cuddles, and a sweet little voice "I wuv you".
-The way she loves to ride in Daddy's "kick-up", and the way she wants to be with him all the time when he's home.
-The way she begs, cries, and pleads to go "outside, outside, outside"! She loves the sand box, the trampoline, her Strider, the dog and kittie, the grass, the rocks, Daddy's greenhouse and tomato plants, and on and on and on...
-The way she giggles and laughs and smiles.
-The way she cries and pouts and throws a fit every now and then. (No, she's not perfect, she's two.)
-The way she loves her new cousin Baby Kendra whom she only knows through pictures and facetime.
-The sweet little songs that she sings when I put her to bed at night.
-Her constant questians throughout the day..."Go to da Libwawy?", "Go to meeting now?", "Whewe Maya go?", "Colter outside?", "Get Kyla at skoowo?" etc...
-The way she says "No nap!", very definately, but then cuddles her head in my neck and then quietly nestles into her blankie. Sometimes she sleeps and sometimes she plays all nap time.
-The way she jumps on the trampoline, jumps off of chairs, jumps (tries to) with a jump rope.
-The way she LOVES on her brother and sisters.
-The way she answers her favorite question "What's the most precious book in all the world?" She throws her hand up in the air "The Biboe!"
-The way she tells me, "Mommy, cose your eyes!", "Mommy, open your eyes!", and on and on...
-The way she says "nack tap, nack tap" (snack trap) when she wants a snack and "dink a wader/duice/miwk" when she wants a drink.
I will try to remember more things to record later...
Have a great week!
Alison
