Scrapbooking and Other fun stuff!

So it is no secret that talking on the phone is not one of Brooke's favorite things to do, she really has to be in the mood, and not to busy doing other things. Well, this is Brooke 35minutes into a conversation with her friend Mayzie. Kinda funny hearing bits of a conversation between two five year olds. When Brooke got off the phone she said Mayzie had to take the call on the other line, she is going to call back. I don't remember calling friends till I was much older!

Yesterday, Billy had his first soccer game of the season, his team has been practicing each week for the last 2 months. Well, his team won three to zero. Billy almost got a couple goals himself, and did a great job! After the game the kid's made homemade ice cream with a little help from Daddy. They made vanilla chocolate chip, and yes I did have a scoop and it was so yummy!

This is a scrapbook page i did for a monthly scrapbook challenge with my scrapbook group. The question is asked, "why do you scrapbook", so this was my page and my reasons

Sorry, the blocks are hard to read, it reads:

i scrapbook ... because i love to create, i love colors, i love patterns, i love playing with stuff! I love creating a layout, i love being inspired.

... because i never want to forget the daily: the things we do what we say, what they said, how i felt, how they felt, what they did how they grew. I feel myself that i could never forget these things. I think they will be with me always, but i know i will lose some of this, some of this i know will fade. There is just so much and so i record the moments, the memories with photos that help explain and describe the moment.

...because i want them to know me and to understand me and the things that are important to me when they look at their scrapbooks in the years to come.

...because i want them to know how much i love them. How everything they do matters to me

...because i love photos, i love to capture smiles and emotions. I love what a photo can say to someone.

Many more reasons, but these are the most important!
