couple new layouts

I scrapped some pics of Jason today. It's fun to get away from scrapping the kids from time to time and to scrap the other things that are important in my life. One of the designers at the site where I'm a creative team member came out with this cool kit that was perfect! It's called Fill'er Up by Cyndy McAtee (www.kathrynbalint.com). It was really fun to play with all the little extras in this kit since they are so Jason. :)

Also, I scrapped a layout of Jenevieve as a baby today. Can you believe she's going to be 4 years old next month? How can that be possible? Time has gone SO incredibly fast. This layout was scrapped using a kit by Carol Baumann called Emily and I also used a template by Janna Billman. Both of these are also available at Kathryn's site.

I'm also going to share a pic of O.C. our kitty. He's getting so big! He's still primarilly an outdoor cat but gets to come in for a bit from time to time. Usually not for long though. I prefer him outside but the kids like him in the house.

Nothing too exciting to report today. Kyle's parent teacher conference is tomorrow night so we'll see how that goes. I'll admit I'm a bit nervous. We got his report card for the first quarter and while he's doing ok in most areas there are a few where he recieved bad marks. They are all ones that didn't surprise us though. Such as listening, being neat and organized, following rules and having respect for authority, having respect for his space and others. You know, all the things we already know Kyle struggles with. How to correct these behaviors is the challenge. I'm hoping that his teacher will have suggestions for us vs. just chewing us out about it. Know what I mean? I'll post an update on here after we have the conference.

Well, it's a beautiful day outside so I think I'm going to take jenevieve to the park for a bit of fresh air while we have the chance. Might even sneak in a few pictures of her if she decides to cooperate. Ya just never know with her. One day she'll ham it up and smile like she's on command and the next time she'll absolutely refuse to look at the camera. We'll see which personality she brings with her today. LOL

Get out and enjoy the weather if you can! Have a great day!
