From This Front Porch

August 2013

Here are a handful of the Album Pages I created for August...

Hugs, Alison

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!)

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,
