What we have been up to lately, baking, and some valentine's. I love decorating the kids' rooms while they are sleeping. I had a bunch of foam hearts that I wrote little love notes on for Haylee and Hunter. I hung them all over their rooms. Then I laid little hearts all over their floors. I bought some flowers for Haylee that I had on her dresser. They were more than excited when they woke up!! I love making books for my family. We have a cousin book, birthday books, Halloween costume book, and a christmas jammie book. When I was engaged to Weston on Valentine's day I made a him a book, 82 reasons why I want to marry you in 82 days. He loved it!!!! And I loved making it. Our first valentine's day I made him a book of our first year together. This year I wanted to make him a book of all our pictures together. Surprisingly over 7 years we didn't have that many pictures together. 42 to be exact, well 42 good ones. So I put them to good use and put together a book for him. I had so much fun going through all of our pictures and looking back at memories! I would say we have had a pretty great life together. Back to our V-day morning. The kids came down to find themselves some new shoes! And then pink milk for breakfast. Pink heart pancakes were on the menu but I wimped out and cold cereal it was!!
We found a new favorite craft. I did have to sacrifice my last two oranges but it was worth it for a fun morning! I kind of eat oranges like crazy in the winter. Painting and stamping fruit!!

You are so creative!
I wish I could take credit but really it's pinterest.
I have never made a book but really want to try to make one. Do you have a website you always use?
I LOVE making photo books! I make one every year with a page or two of pictures for each month. It is so fun to go back through and see your year like that! I use mixbook.com.
I also started a halloween album that I print out pictures...and a birthday book (only one so far for Brielle's first birthday!) ...all thanks to you for your great idea that you told us at the Ricks Chicks reunion.
My books are very plain and simple. I print my photos from Costco and then scrapbook some and the others I just out in a photo album. Sorry, not much help there. Laura I'm so glad you started birthday books. My kids live theirs!!! Your girls will too!!
